Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck's The Tourist is an officially licensed English-language remake of Jérôme Salle's 2005 French thriller Anthony Zimmer. Salle's original—a woman seducing a random man on a train to use as a human decoy while she escapes her criminal past—becomes the exact blueprint Donnersmarck uses. The Venetian setting substitutes for Paris, but the structure, the betrayals, the twist remain mapped directly from Salle. This is Hollywood translation rather than inspiration.
