By accident rather than design Charlize Theron took a three-year break from acting recently. Starring in Jason Reitman’s hilarious black comedy Young Adult marks a welcome return and it was, she says, the best working experience she’s ever had.
“It really was. And that’s quite something because I’ve had really amazing experiences. I think it was a combination of several things – the role, working with Jason, the material and the fact that I hadn’t really acted for three years.
“And to go back and have my first film in three years be Young Adult with Jason on a 30 day shoot, no hair and make up, sweat pants every day, and go to work and do …

By now the Prometheus ‘Ampule Room’ should be burned into your brains. It seems like two out of every three images released from the upcoming Ridley Scott sci-fi thriller feature a new angle on the cavernous room with the giant human head.
Now here comes another look at the ‘Ampule Room’ as scanned from the pages of Total Film magazine. It features two of the Prometheus ship explorers, one shining their flashlight right up the giant human head statue’s nose. Hopefully for their sake there’s not something slimy hiding up there.
Speaking of slimy, the article in Total Film accompanying the image (see below, and give it a click for a high-res look) offers up some new …

Charlize Theron may try to bring Kristen Stewart down playing the Evil Queen in the upcoming Snow White and the Huntsman film, but off-screen the two actresses are anything but rivals.
At the BAFTA Los Angeles Tea Party, the 36-year-old reveals they became friends after a trip to Comic-Con, explaining that getting along with the 21-year-old was “effortless.”
‘We met on a plane going to Comic-Con,” she told E! Online. “You know when you meet someone and it’s effortless? It was instantly amazing.”
“We couldn’t shut up,” she added. “The plane landed and they were like, ‘Get off the plane’ and we were going on and on.”
Theron says that she and Stewart got along, not only because Stewart …

Red Carpet Interview:

Speaking to Total Film Magazine, the lovely Charlize Theron answered a few questions about Prometheus, the Alien prequel that’s being marketed as not a prequel. Here’s what Theron had to say:
When we asked if her role in the Alien sorta-prequel would be comparable to Sigourney Weaver’s iconic Ripley:

I play somewhat of a villain in it.” [My character] is not a believer, she’s not a scientist, she is the red tape that everyone has to go through. She’s working with the company that’s sponsoring this whole thing and you can feel she definitely has an agenda, which we pick up in the third …
