Angelina Jolie is in talks to replace Charlize Theron in spy thriller The Tourist, says The Hollywood Reporter.

The movie, once a starring vehicle for Tom Cruise, follows a female Interpol operative who manipulates an American tourist to expose a criminal. Sam Worthington (Terminator Salvation) is attached to play the male lead.

The project is based on the 2005 French movie Anthony Zimmer and a remake script by Julian Fellows, Bill Wheeler and Chris McQuarrie.

Miss Pettigrew Lives For A Day director Bharat Nalluri dropped out of helming the film last week. Spyglass Entertainment is now looking for a new director to team with Jolie.
