Director Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck’s The Tourist, starring Johnny Depp as bemused traveler Frank Tupelo and Angelina Jolie as woman-of-mystery Elise Ward, arrives on DVD and Blu-ray in region 1 today. The romantic thriller has earned $268 million at the box office to date. The DVD includes a commentary track from the director, a 90-second outtake reel, and half-a-dozen features on various production aspects of the film, including the challenges of shooting on the water in Venice.

DVD Talk writes, “A throwback of sorts to an era of star-driven cinema, The Tourist doesn’t have to supply much of an effort to keep eyes glued to the screen. With Johnny Depp and Angelina Jolie securely fastened in the starring roles, [. . .] most of the attention is placed on the leads. Ordered to carry the film with their inherent smolder, [. . .] both actors commit low-key, but comforting work as the tangled duo, with Jolie turning on the glamour high beams to communicate Elise’s command over all men, cutting through the scenery like cherry-lipped royalty, making Depp’s performance of astonished reactions amusing for its realism.”

The Zone thanks Linda M for the news; you can read a discussion of the DVD’s features and Zoner’s reactions to home viewing of The Tourist on the Pit General Discussion forum.
