You know how last year I mentioned how
Charlize Theron has been present in the film business for some time now, has the looks and the talent, but has never actually
had a big film to be remembered by. Well, it seems that those days are gone, and that this will definitely be her year. She kicked it off earlier this winter with her praised role in YOUNG ADULT (earning critics' approval after her MONSTER Oscar winning role), and then later this summer she has two major blockbusters -
Ridley Scott's sf epic PROMETHEUS with
Michael Fassbender and SNOW WHITE AND THE HUNTSMAN with
Chris Hemsworth in which she will look all divine and naughty as the evil queen. You've seen the trailers for both films and know how Charlize dominates in both. And now a new project has been announced for Charlize: according to "Variety" she has closed the deal to star in currently mysterious sf flick
AGENT 13. The plot is kept under wraps but there's a battle between studios for it and it will be directed by
Rupert Wyatt who helmed RISE OF THE PLANET OF THE APES blockbuster last year! Charlize is also to appear in
MAD MAX: FURY ROAD next to
Tom Hardy, but that one is in status hiatus.
HOLLYWOOD SPY HEADLINES
One of this year's numerous classic novel movie adaptations
Emile
Zola's
THERESE RAQUIN is all ready to start shooting soon and the update is that it will be shot in Serbia with
Jessica Lange, Elizabeth Olsen, Oscar Isaac and crazy
Matt Lucas (LITTLE BRITAIN, BRIDESMAIDS) in the lead roles.
Elizabeth Olsen plays the title character, who is trapped in a loveless marriage to her sickly first cousin, Camille (
Tom Felton), and living with his mother (
Jessica Lange). She begins an illicit love affair with Camille’s friend Laurent, which leads to a tragic outcome for all three.
Meanwhile, one of HOLLYWOOD SPY's favourite actresses, divine
Toni Collette will join
Steve Carell in
THE WAY, WAY BACK.
Sam Rockwell and
Annasophia Robb will also star in the story which follows a teen boy who struggles to find himself as he comes to terms with his unattentive mother (Collette) and cheating stepfather (Carell) during summer vacation
The only trailer for today is for a film which my ladies will flock to see: dramatic comedy
MAGIC MIKE which hits cinemas this June, and has a rather hunky cast including
Channing Tatum, Alex Pettyfer, Matthew Bomer, Matthew McConaughey, Adam Rodriguez,
Joe Manganiello and
Olivia Munn. Directed by
Steven Soderbergh, the film is set in the world of male stripping and is actually inspired by
Channing Tatum's own early days. The story revolves around Mike (
Channing Tatum) who takes a young dancer
called The Kid (
Alex Pettyfer) under his wing and schools him in the fine arts of partying, picking up women, and making easy money. As you can see from the trailer and the pictures, all of the boys are in shape and ready to dance away scantily clad when the film premiers this summer.
