Johnny Depp is in talks to star with Angelina Jolie in "The Tourist," a film that is undergoing another round of changes.

Production is scheduled to start in February.

According to Variety, Graham King's GK Films is financing and distributing with Sony Pictures Entertainment.

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.

This news comes after "Avatar" star Sam Worthington exited along with director Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck, both over creative differences.

Directors including Alfonso Cuaron are already being mentioned.

King will produce with Tim Headington, Gary Barber, Roger Birnbaum and Jonathan Glickman. Julian Fellowes wrote the original script; Christopher McQuarrie and Jeffrey Nachmanoff did rewrites.

Spyglass initially set up the remake of the 2005 French thriller "Anthony Zimmer" with Bharat Nalluri directing and Tom Cruise and Charlize Theron attached. Worthington came aboard after Cruise left the project. Von Donnersmarck then came aboard the picture with Jolie.
