All things appear to be in order for The Tourist, a thriller from Spyglass which has Angelina Jolie toplining alongside Terminator Salvation star Sam Worthington, to move into a 2011 release. Since Jolie was attached only on the condition of finding the right director, Spyglass has found their man—Lives of Others director Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck. Donnersmarck hasn't entered into any formal negotiations just yet, but the film is on track to start production in February.

While she's been oddly absent from movies this year, Jolie's box office draw is still a force to be reckoned with, as her last film, Wanted, pulled in nearly $340 million worldwide. Meanwhile, though his small indie breakthrough Lives of Others wasn't exactly a box office smash, Donnersmarck is still hot off his Academy Award win for the film, and Worthington's name is expected to shoot up exponentially after he stars in Avatar later this year.

Jolie will next star in Salt in July of next year, and has reportedly set Tourist as priority over other prospective projects, including sure-fire moneymaker Wanted 2.
