10 Most Fascinating 'End of the World' Movies
13 hours ago | The Movie Fanatic | See recent The Movie Fanatic news »
There are many theories, ideas or should I say 'schools of thought' on how the world would end. At the height of the Cold War, nuclear annihilation ranks at the very top. While others argue it will not be man who will destroy the world (directly) but - an epidemic of global proportions (most probably from a potent strain of virus - think: I am Legend) or severe climactic change (another ice age perhaps? That would be Day After Tommorow right?) or mechanical uprising (The Terminator, anyone?) or even attack from the outside - conquering aliens (Mars Attacks!) or perhaps an asteroid. And let's not forget zombies!

Love it or hate it, there’s no denying Independence Day was a big movie, with a place in cinematic history. Roland Emmerich has been the prince of diminishing returns since, but remains the current king of the global disaster movie. With next week’s 2012, he’s hoping to get his career back on track.
10,000 BC was universally panned, so he has decided to go back to what he does best. Namely, destroying contemporary landmarks, and killing a large percentage of the population. Emmerich loves himself a budget, and epic scale CGI, and judging from the trailer, he has used both liberally. There have been plenty of pre-release clips to encourage the hype. You can see a five minute clip in full HD here, some additional clips here, and some behind the scenes footage here.
As usual, however, there is a human story to be told. In this case, it »

Alfonso Cuaron to Direct The Tourist Starring Johnny Depp
6 November 2009 2:16 PM, PST | FilmJunk | See recent FilmJunk news »
Although Y tu mamá también was Alfonso Cuaron's breakout film in terms of proving his talent and putting him on Hollywood's radar, it was Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban and Children of Men that made him an instant favourite among fantasy and sci-fi fans. Of course, Children of Men was released back in 2006, and Cuaron hasn't really done much since then outside of producing. Now this week it looks like his next directorial gig may finally be falling into place, picking up the pieces of a potentially high-profile project that has gone through multiple changes to cast and crew. If all goes according to plan Cuaron will direct The Tourist, a remake of the 2005 French film Anthony Zimmer, about an American vacationer in France who is unwittingly used as a decoy for a French spy. Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck (The Lives of Others) had previously been attached, »

Johnny Depp in talks to replace Sam Worthington in ‘The Tourist’
5 November 2009 9:06 AM, PST | ReelLoop.com | See recent Reel Loop news »
The large round of musical chairs for the The Tourist continues.
Last month we reported that Angelina Jolie replaced Charlize Theron on the American remake of French film Anthony Zimmer and now it seems like Johnny Depp is in talks to replace Australian actor Sam Worthington. The role originally had Tom Cruise slated to star.
Depp would play an American tourist drawn into a “web of intrigue by a female Interpol agent (Jolie) who is attempting to locate a criminal who was once her lover.”
The 2005 French film Anthony Zimmer was directed by Jérôme Salle. It starred the lovely Sophie Marceau and Yvan Attal.
Jolie remains on the project, however, along with Worthington, original director Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck has left the project. Children of Men director Alfonso Cuaron still in talks to replace him.
The Tourist is still on schedule to begin production in February.

What Is J.J. Abrams’ ‘500 Rads?’
5 November 2009 9:04 AM, PST | ScreenRant.com | See recent Screen Rant news »
Remember when word of a mysterious project called Cloverfield first surfaced? Before we knew it, we were getting a movie about a mostly unseen giant monster causing chaos in New York. Well, it seems that J.J. Abrams might be bringing us something in the same top-secret vein with a project that is being referred to as 500 Rads.
The guys over at Pajiba (thanks to /Film for pointing us to this) have an inside source (who they’re keeping nameless, for good reason) that has given some details on 500 Rads, a project that Abrams and his production company, Bad Robot, are apparently developing in secret.
So what’s it all about? Well, the little info we’ve got beyond the title tells us that it’s in the same vein as Cloverfield and 28 Days Later. Pajiba helpfully points out that a “rad” is an “absorbed radiation dose.” The guys over at »

5 November 2009 7:41 AM, PST | The Hollywood News | See recent The Hollywood News news »
Johnny Depp is deep in talks to star opposite Angelina Jolie in the film The Tourist. In the film, Depp would play an American tourist drawn into a web of intrigue by a female Interpol agent (Jolie) who is attempting to locate a criminal who was once her lover.
No director is attached to the film as yet, but the word on the street is that Children of Men helmer Alfonso Cuaron is being lined up to step behind the camera.
Graham King will produce the film with Tim Headington, Gary Barber, Roger Birnbaum and Jonathan Glickman. Julian Fellowes penned the original script; Christopher McQuarrie and Jeffrey Nachmanoff did rewrites, according to Variety. »

Johnny Depp Replacing Sam Worthington In ‘The Tourist?’
5 November 2009 7:38 AM, PST | ScreenRant.com | See recent Screen Rant news »
When does the movie business ever go as planned? Rarely, it seems, as evidenced by the change-ups with the upcoming thriller The Tourist, the remake of the 2005 French film, Anthony Zimmer.
We recently reported that Angelina Jolie had replaced Charlize Theron in the movie, with Jolie joining the already-cast Sam Worthington (who originally replaced Tom Cruise). Then a week later came news that after previously attached director Bharat Nalluri had stepped away from the project, The Lives of Other director Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck was being eyed to helm the film instead.
All seemed to be in place and The Tourist was set for an early 2010 shooting start. However, although the latter is still true, there appears to Still be major change-ups happening, as not only is yet another new director being looked at to now replace Donnersmarck, but Worthington may be getting replaced by Johnny Depp!

Depp and Cuaron Step Into The Tourist?
5 November 2009 5:54 AM, PST | Atomic Popcorn | See recent Atomic Popcorn news »
The Tourist, which will tell the tale of an American tourist drawn into a plot of intrigue with a female Interpol agent, has had an increasingly hard time gearing up to launch into production this coming February. Avatar star Sam Worthington jumped ship a while back, along with director Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck, over “creative differences.”
Now, fan favorite Johnny Depp is in talks to be the titular tourist, and director Alfonso Cuaron (Children of Men) is considering taking the reins. If Depp is indeed attached to the project, he’ll be performing alongside Angelina Jolie, so we’re in for a vortex of sexiness the likes of which the world has never seen.
Julian Fellowes (Vanity Fair) wrote the original script for The Tourist, with rewrites by Christopher McQuarrie and Jeffrey Nachmanoff.

Cuaron and Depp Find Its a High Season for 'The Tourist'
5 November 2009 | ioncinema | See recent ioncinema news »
- The French film from which The Tourist is based from (Anthony Zimmer) contains a narrative DNA that is very kaiser soze, but to be frank about it, I'm not sure what all the fuss is about. Spyglass Entertainment is seeing a lot of action for a tale about a wanted man...its mostly due to scheduling conflicts. Male lead Sam Worthington has jumped ship and an even better replacement in Johnny Depp might take the part. Meanwhile, Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck who just recently considered taking helming duties has dropped the pic, and Alfonso Cuaron, who showed off some skill with the thriller format in Children of Men (that infamous scene with Julianne Moore at the wheel is stellar) is looking to replace him. Scripted by Julian Fellowes, Bill Wheeler and Chris McQuarrie, this concerns an American tourist (formerly Tom Cruise, then Sam Worthington and perhaps Depp) who finds »
Johnny Depp Joining Angelina Jolie In The Tourist?
5 November 2009 3:15 AM, PST | Screenrush | See recent Screenrush news »
Johnny Depp is in talks to star alongside Angelina Jolie in The Tourist, which would mark the first time these two mega stars have worked together.
The story, which was originally written by Julian Fellowes and has had rewrites by Christopher McQuarrie and Jeffrey Nachmanoff, would see Depp play an American tourist drawn into a web of intrigue by a female Interpol agent (Jolie) who is attempting to locate a criminal who was once her lover.
The role Depp is looking to fill was originally cast to Sam Worthington (Terminator Salvation), but he dropped out recently over creative differences. Director Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck also dropped out of the project, and now Alfonso Cuarón (Children Of Men) is in early talks to take over the director's chair. The film has gone through quite a few changes, as at one time Bharat Nalluri was attached to direct with Tom Cruise in the lead role. »
Johnny Depp now thinking of Tourist trip
4 November 2009 11:58 PM, PST | Corona's Coming Attractions | See recent Corona's Coming Attractions news »
After seeing actors Tom Cruise and Avatar's Sam Worthington depart from the developing thriller The Tourist, and then get a second wind when Angelina Jolie got interested in starring in the picture, now the film gets another major boost from an A-lister: Johnny Depp, Mr. Pirates of the Caribbean himself, is now thinking about taking the lead male role in the film.
Depp's interest in the movie comes through one of the movie's producers, Graham King. The actor has worked with King on The Rum Diary and Rango, two films now in post-production. And while having Johnny sniffing around considering to take the paycheck is a good thing for the film's producers, it still needs a director. Just a couple of weeks ago things looked promising for German director Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck to come on and make the film for its intended February 2010 start of shooting. Now the »

All Change Again For Tourist
4 November 2009 10:39 PM, PST | EmpireOnline | See recent EmpireOnline news »
More entries and exits through the permanently revolving door that is The Tourist, which has now lost two directors and two leading men.It started life as a project to be directed by Bharat Nalluri, starring Tom Cruise and Charlize Theron. Then Cruise walked in favour of Knight and Day, and was replaced by Sam Worthington. Nalluri left soon after, as did Theron. Theron was replaced by Angelina Jolie, and Jolie was very keen for Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck to pick up the megaphone.But this morning it emerges that both Worthington and Donnersmarck are now off the film, over "creative differences". With whom, we wonder (not very hard)? Variety suggests that several directors are circling the project, which still seems to be considered a plum gig, rather than the potential trainwreck its pre-production so far suggests. One name they mention in particular is Alfonso Cuaron (Y tu mama tambien, »
Johnny Depp May Join Angelina Jolie as 'Tourist'
4 November 2009 9:20 PM, PST | CinemaSpy | See recent CinemaSpy news »
Johnny Depp is in talks to join Angelina Jolie in The Tourist, which is targeting a February production start.
Depp is negotiating to play an American tourist drawn into a web of intrigue by a female Interpol agent (Jolie) who is attempting to locate a criminal who was once her lover.
If the deal is struck, Depp will replace Sam Worthington (Avatar), who dropped out over creative differences, as has director Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck. Alfonso Cuaron (Children of Men) is in early talks to take over the director's chair.
A Depp-Jolie pairing is exciting, if it happens; the project has seen some of Hollywood's top talents come and go. At one time, Bharat Nalluri was attached to direct with Tom Cruise in the lead role. Charlize Theron was also attached to the project for a long time, but was recently replaced by Jolie.

More Changes Bring Depp, Cuaron to ‘The Tourist’
4 November 2009 9:09 PM, PST | FilmSchoolRejects.com | See recent FilmSchoolRejects news »
Production on The Tourist is set to begin early next year. The players within that production seems to be changing daily. Three weeks ago, Charlize Theron departed the project and moved on to greener pastures, allowing Angelina Jolie to step into her place. Even further back, Tom Cruise was set to play the lead role in the film -- an everyman who is roped in by an Interpol agent to become bait for a former lover -- but had since been replaced by Sam Worthington. Heck, even director Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck was a replacement for Bharat Nalluri, who was attached with Cruise. Today, we get to throw most (but not all) of that out the window, as several other changes have been made. According to THR, von Donnersmarck and Sam Worthington are out, and two major players are in. In negotiations to star alongside Angelina Jolie is Johnny Depp, who »

Angelina Jolie’s The Tourist Could Gain Johnny Depp but Has Already Lost Sam Worthington and Director Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck
4 November 2009 7:24 PM, PST | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »
“The Tourist” just can’t seem to find a destination. The story–an American tourist drawn into a web of intrigue and danger by a female Interpol agent as she attempts to locate a criminal who was once her lover–originally starred Tom Cruise and Charlize Theron with directing by Bharat Nalluri (”Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day”). Then Cruise dropped out to co-star in “Knight and Day” (formerly “Witchita”) with Cameron Diaz. In his place came Sam Worthington. Then Theron split and Jolie came aboard. A week later, director Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck (”The Lives of Others”) joined the project.
But now Worthington and von Donnersmarck are both gone over the infamous “creative differences” and Johnny Depp is in talks to take Worthington’s role. And as for the director, many are scrapping for the gig, including Alfonso Cuaron. Hit the jump for more details.

Depp to Co-Star with Jolie in ‘The Tourist’
4 November 2009 7:14 PM, PST | newsinfilm.com | See recent newsinfilm news »
Johnny Depp is in talks to replace Sam Worthington in The Tourist, Spy Entertainment’s thriller that just got a whole lot more interesting.
If he signs, he would play the title role, an American mixed up in an international operation to bring down a global criminal. The traveler crosses paths with the thief’s stunning girlfriend, who uses him to throw off authorities. Angelina Jolie is attached to the play the femme fatale character.
That’s a pretty great combination for an otherwise average-looking premise, but it beats the earlier alternative when Tom Cruise and Charlize Theron were on board together.
Worthington and possible director Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck both left the project in the last month over “creative differences,” according to Variety, though neither were officially signed yet. Nikki Finke’s sources say Donnersmarck was “difficult and demanding.” The producers are considering other filmmakers now, including Alfonso Cuaron »

'The Tourist' Now Looks to Team Up Jolie and Depp

Wow, the production of The Tourist is quite the bumpy ride as recently announced director Florian von Donnersmarck and Tom Cruise replacement and Avatar star, Sam Worthington, have both left the production citing creative differences leaving Angelina Jolie all on her own... at least for a brief moment as Variety is now reporting Johnny Depp is in talks to fill in for Worthington and star alongside Jolie in the now director-less thriller.
Should things work out, Depp would play an American tourist drawn into a web of intrigue and danger by a female Interpol agent (Jolie) as she attempts to locate a criminal who was once her lover.
With the director's chair wide open, Variety's Mike Fleming reports there are names already circling the project, including Children of Men helmer Alfonso Cuaron.
At one point this was a film with Bharat Nalluri directing Tom Cruise and Charlize Theron, which then »
