Angelina Jolie & Johnny Depp... aha!

The two names mentioned in the title of the post are enough to attract the attention of even the naivest of movie fans. But before we venture into that, there is a whole long list of movies releasing this weekend. In wide releases, the list is Easy A starring Emma Stone, Ben Affleck directed The Town, M. Shyamalan written (but not directed) Devil and the animated Alpha & Omega. None of these is likely to turn the box-office on its head. Devil is the one that catches my attention with a typical Shyamalan-ic plot about a group of people trapped in an elevator who realise that one amongst them is the devil! Cool.. but is it cool enough to get the audience inside the theatres... we will have to see... There are a few interesting limited releases as well, Never Let Me Go starring Keira Knightely and Jack Goes Boating, the directorial debut of Philip Hoffmann.

Now to the main event. Put Angelina Jolie in a movie. Heads will turn. Put Johnny Depp in a movie. Heads will turn. Put them both in a movie. Heads will spin wildly! That is what will happen on December 10, when The Tourist starring the two mega-stars (for the first time ever) is released in the US. The trailer for the film is out and it does live upto the expectations. Charisma and style galore! The opening lines from the trailer... just to pique your interest...

Jolie: I am Elise.
Depp: I am Frank.
Jolie: That's a terrible name.
Depp: Haha. It's the only one I've got.
Jolie: Maybe we can find you another.
Depp: Okay!
