An epic cat-and-mouse chase unfolds, and the man later wakes in the hospital, hurt, but somehow alive\u2014except he has no idea who he is. With merciless figures from his past pursuing him, the search for answers propels the man through the vast and unforgiving outback.<\/p>\n<p>Stan is the Australian co-commissioning partner and will produce alongside Highview Productions, all3media international and the South Australian Film Corporation. Sales will be handled by all3media international.<\/p>\n<p>Harry and Jack Williams, writers and managing directors of Two Brothers Pictures, said: \u201c<em>The Tourist<\/em> is a departure from anything we\u2019ve written before. It isn\u2019t an easy show to categorize\u2014so we won\u2019t. We are, however, hugely excited to have Chris Sweeney on board as director and to be making this for the BBC.
