Sam Worthington has replaced Tom Cruise in the lead role for espionage thriller The Tourist.

The project, a remake of the 2005 French movie Anthony Zimmer, is about a female Interpol operative who manipulates an American tourist to expose a criminal. Charlie Theron will play the agent, says The Hollywood Reporter.

Miss Pettigrew Lives For A Day director Bharat Nalluri will helm the project based on Julian Fellows, Bill Wheeler and Chris McQuarrie's script.

Worthington can next be seen leading the cast of James Cameron's eagerly-awaited sci-fi epic Avatar.
