>Angelina Jolie looks set to replace Charlize Theron as the seductive lead in a new action thriller.
Oscar-winner Theron has reportedly dropped out of The Tourist and the Tomb Raider star has now been linked to the role.
Fresh off an action-heavy part in Salt, and with apparently no commitments in the near future, Jolie would fit in well to the project.
A remake of a French thriller, the film centres on an American tourist who, on behalf of Interpol, goes undercover to entrap a former lover who is a suspected global criminal.
Her role would be one-part seductress and one-part action, according to The Hollywood Reporter. She will star alongside Terminator: Salvation’s Sam Worthington.
The project, which originally had Tom Cruise set as the male lead, is also seeking a new director after Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day Helmer Bharat Nalluri dropped out.
The film up to now had been set for an early 2010 release.
