"Of course I always wanted to work with Johnny Depp!" laughs Angelina Jolie. "What actress hasn't? I've thought he was the coolest thing for years. I practically grew up with him and had such a crush on him in 'Edward Scissorhands'!"

Jolie has got her wish and stars with Depp in the thriller "The Tourist," a pairing that had gossip columnists salivating before filming had even started.

In "The Tourist," Jolie portrays Elise Clifton-Ward, who deliberately crosses the path of U.S. tourist Frank Tupelo (Depp) on a train from Paris to Venice, Italy. Elise chooses Frank as a decoy, pretending he's her lover, Alexander Pierce, a man wanted by the police. The pair then have to escape both the law and the mobster whose money Alexander had stolen.
