Aussie Sam Worthington Replaces Tom Cruise in New Movie

Sam Worthington has replaced Tom Cruise in upcoming movie 'The Tourist'.

The Australian actor was drafted in after Cruise dropped out to star alongside Cameron Diaz in a new, as-yet-untitled action comedy from James Mangold.

In The Tourist, Worthington will star alongside Charlize Theron as an American holidaymaker used by an Interpol agent to hunt down a crooked ex-lover.

The film, a remake of 2005's French thriller Anthony Zimmer, will be directed by Bharat Nalluri, according to Variety.com.
