MTV spoke with Tourist Director Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck about the Interview for their Fall Movie week. The director seems very taken by Angelina Jolie and Johnny Depp saying: hope people will feel transported into a world that is as beautiful as it could be, that's what I was aiming for. Most of all, I just hope they will be transformed by — as I was on the set — by the incredible chemistry and the joy and love between our marvelous actors, between Angie and Johnny,and Paul and Timothy Dalton and Steven Berkhoff, all the incredible actors that we had.

Johnny and Angie just got along so well, that was something I could sense straight from the first meeting that we had, the three of us. Believe it or not, Angie and Johnny had never met. Through all the years that they've been king and queen of Hollywood, they had never actually physically met, so I was the first person to ever bring them together. So if nothing else, that was a really historical moment. They just got along so well from the first moment they met that I knew it was going to be a lot of fun making this film. I probably have hours worth of bloopers where they were just laughing because they had so much fun inventing stuff on the fly and letting their incredible creativity run free.


When asked about the plot and the connection to Anthony Zimmer: "It's a love story, that's for sure. Imagine a woman who is just so elegant and sophisticated and educated and has lived in that world and now, through a whole set of circumstances, suddenly falls in love with a guy who is not any of those things, and it just somehow confuses her whole world because that was not meant to happen. She had it all worked out, she had this grand master plan, and neither he nor she had thought it possible that they would fall in love with each other. I have to keep the real details a secret otherwise you won't have any fun seeing it."

"I'd say, in a way, the film is inspired by a whole set of films. There's a lot of "Anthony Zimmer" in it, which is the French screenplay that they optioned the rights for, there's a lot of "North by Northwest," "To Catch a Thief," "The Thomas Crown Affair," the "Thin Man" series, "The Pink Panther" — there's just a whole sweep of films that we used as inspiration and, certainly, there's quite a few films that informed the film."

I think what people forget often when they talk about such great stars as Angelina and Johnny, they forget that what they are, really, are actors. They're actors with a capital "A," but they're much more actors than they are stars, and I think that these parts were just right for them as actors. They can really show what they can do. Angelina is so charming and delicate and feminine and strong and everything at the same time that I think when I talked to her about that part and when we worked on the screenplay together, she saw that she could really be able to do something with that part, and the same for Johnny. He shows so much of his own complexity in this part. He's so winning, so charming, so funny, like he is in real life. I think in many ways, this part is quite close to who he is in real life. He is the most funny and charming person you'll have ever met.

Here is the documentary (with Johnny Depp) about the West Memphis 3 for those who have not yet seen it.

Capi Peck, a founding member of ATA, said it's very important for people who are concerned about this case to read about it, talk to their friends and neighbors and send letters to state officials. "It's easy to educate yourself through the website. You can read about the DNA evidence, the juror misconduct. Speaking out does make a difference. It matters. We're not going away."

Kara Warner (MTV) spoke with Paul Bettany at San Diego Comic-Con to discuss "Priest," Bettany deftly avoided revealing any actual details about his character in the Tourist. "I can't tell you anything!" he said. Instead, he presented his co-stars as "unknowns," (Johnny Depp plays an American tourist abroad who becomes involved with an Interpol agent, played by Angelina Jolie), and revealed who he fell in love with while making the film.

"'The Tourist,' with two unknown actors called Johnny Depp and Angelina Jolie," Bettany joked when asked to comment on the film. "[That] little indie movie… I think it was the first Paul Bettany movie they had ever been in and they were a little nervous."

"I sort of fell massively in love with Johnny Depp, who’s just one of the sweetest, funniest human beings you can possibly imagine," he added. "It’s so nice when you meet one of those people who make that much f--king cash, that you kind of go, ‘I’m really glad it happened to you.’ It’s awesome.”

Sooo... not much actual news from Bettany other than he has a crush - which makes me think he plays the villain. Still, it's good to know! Join us in our Johnny Depp News Forum and tell us what you think.
