Oh my shit, it’s April!

Von Donnersmarck (The Lives of Others) was drafted to direct new spy-thriller ‘The Tourist’ last year, but ended up leaving because of ‘creative differences’. After a lot of whispers and rumours about his possible re-engagement, he has today confirmed that he’s back at the helm, and plans to start filming this spring.
