Ewan McGregor will star opposite Hugh Jackman in Swiss director Marcel Langenegger's The Tourist, reports Production Weekly.

McGregor plays Jonathan, an accountant disconnected from life, who is reinvigorated by his new friend Wyatt (Jackman), a powerful and charismatic lawyer, who introduces Jonathan to a mysterious sex club known as The List.

Shortly after meeting the woman of his dreams, Jonathan becomes the number one suspect in not only the woman's disappearance and possible murder, but also a $20 million theft.

Mark Bomback, Patrick Marber and Jason Keller penned the script. Production is scheduled to start on October 9th in New York.
