The Tourist

Distributor and tracking the Distibutor
The Tourist is directed by Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck under the distribution of Sony Pictures Entertainment. The movie was created within the space of 11 months, the movie was a remake of a 2005, french action film. The film was shot quickly as Johnny Depp had to set off to Hawaii and start filmimg the 4th part of the pirates of the carribean franchise. Post-production occured so quickly as all commercially interesting release dates for 2011 were reserved for Pirates of the Carribean. Filming began in Paris with Jolie in February, shortly after Depp joined. The film was a blanket release date as the date had to be quickly decided.

The film poster shows two well established, famous actors on screen which suggests that this film will be a success, and draws a huge nuber of fans to take an interest in the film.

The font and colours of the title creates a very dramatic atmasphere s it is all colloured in a deep cyan, however one letter is in a dark shade which almoast suggests that the film includes a form of isolation or being undercover.

The actors stand out from the background, as the background is blurred and is faded to create a mysterious atmos
phere. Although the characters do not have any form of body contact in this poster, there is still a form of intimacy in the  poster, we see this due to the affectionate, facial expressions and the idea that they are walking together.

The film is a PG-13 which suggests that it is aimed to target as many people as possible however, due to intimate scenes and violence it provides limitations for the younger generations.

The film premiere was held in New York City in the USA, which took place on the 6th December 2010 at Ziegfeld theatre. It included guest stars such as Johnny Depp, Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt, Ashanti, Brooke Sheilds and Jennifer Connelly. The tourist was nominated for three Golden Globes; Best Picture, Best Actor, and Best Actress.
