EXCLUSIVE: Charlize Theron is in early talks to star in and produce Cities of Refuge, a crime thriller by Brandon Willer that has been optioned by Inferno Entertainment. She would play a female investigator brought in to solve a brutal murder and kidnapping in which things aren’t what they seem. The film is being produced by Benderspink and Tower Hill Productions, and if talks work out for her to star, she would also board the project as producer along with Beth Kono of Theron’s Denver & Delilah Films banner.


Love Charlize Theron and crime thrillers. Sounds like a very good combo
Charlize and tequila sounds even better
would love to see Charlize in a western.
If you notice…not too many comments. She’s ridiculously gorgeous, but incredibly boring. She’s that girl we’re supposed to love, but we don’t. ‘Hollywood’ loves her though.
I agree with anonymous. No personality onscreen. Great in Monster but as bland as a vanilla milkshake in everything else. She’s like Uma Thurman, another tall blond who makes a weak impression in front of the camera and whom audiences couldn’t care less about.
I totally agree, and the Uma Thurman analogy is an apt one. She has little presence on screen, and her career has been bumpy. She never followed through on that post-Oscar momentum. ‘Aeon Flux’ was a misfire, and she’s been all over the place ever since, without really being anywhere at all.
Clearly you want personality actors. Charlize Theron is not Julia Roberts. She is just another good actress who is interested in disappearing into her roles. It’s not about her presence, it’s about her character. Just because she’s beautiful some of you expect her to have a movie star career. If she’s signing on to do projects like In the Valley of Elah, Sleepwalking, and North Country, clearly she’s looking for something deeper. I look forward to seeing her in the next Jason Reitman film.
Please. She’s also doing stuff like aeon flux, Hancock and sweet november and a slew of Keanu reeves vehicles, so let’s stop with the pretense of theron looking for ‘deeper’ sh*t. Lol
Truly hit the DNA lottery, that woman. Stunning. Wish her the best. BB
