Finally I’ve added screencaps of Charlize from Hancock and Battle in Seattle. Check them out in the gallery.

Magnolia Home Entertainment announced that “The Burning Plain,” a film written and directed by Guillermo Arriaga and starring Academy Award-winners Charlize Theron and Kim Basinger, will hit the stores on Jan. 12.

“The performances by Theron and Basinger are strong enough to get noticed at Oscar time,” a critic for Time wrote. But they were overlooked by the Golden Globes.

Charlize Theron (“Hancock,” “Monster”) stars as Sylvia, a woman on the edge who takes an emotional journey back to the defining moment of her life. “The Burning Plain” explores the explosive power of forbidden love. Sylvia´s cool, professional demeanor masks her sexually charged storm within. When a stranger from Mexico confronts her mysterious past, Sylvia is launched into a journey through time that inextricably connects her to a variety of disparate characters, all of whom are grappling with their own romantic destinies.

Marking the directorial debut of Oscar-nominated screenwriter Guillermo Arriaga (“Babel,” “21 Grams”), “The Burning Plain” also features Basinger (“8 Mile,” “L.A. Confidential”), Emmy nominee John Corbett (“Sex and The City,” “My Big Fat Greek Wedding”) and Joaquim De Almeida (“Che: Part Two,” “24″).

“The Burning Plain” is rated R.

According to a report in The Sunday Tribune, Oscar winning actress Charlize Theron will be spending lots of time in Ireland next year, as she’s down to play the lead female role in the film version of the Sebastian Barry novel “The Secret Scripture.”

The paper says that the prolific Irish producer Noel Pearson is on board for the project, and is trying to line up the British actor Alan Rickman for one of the other main characters.

Theron will play Roseanne McNulty, a 100-year-old mental patient who decides to write an autobiography, and she’ll age back in time for the role.

The Tribune didn’t say when filming will start, but Theron will likely be spending part of next summer in Australia shooting a sequel to the “Mad Max” franchise popularized by Irish-American actor Mel Gibson way back when. She’s pretty much confirmed to play the female lead in the film, titled “Fury Road,” but Gibson has nixed another appearance.

No doubt Charlize will be accompanied by her longtime boyfriend, Dublin-born actor and writer Stuart Townsend. The couple is based in L.A. and still going strong after more than eight years together, but insist that wedded bliss ain’t happening until marriage rights are extended to gays and lesbians across the country.

This was news to his glamorous co-star, Charlize Theron, who is herself no stranger to roughing it. However, she was still surprised to hear the news of Mortensen’s method.

Theron told reporters, “What?! I didn’t hear that. I was only there for three days! Even if I didn’t shower for three days, that’s not that bad, right? Compared to an entire film!”

Based on the Cormac McCarthy tale of a widower (Viggo) and his son (Kodi Smit-McPhee), the movie follows the two as they struggle to survive in a post-apocalyptic world. Viggo, who was honored by the AFI at the event, said of his young co-star, “I felt such affection for the boy who I didn’t know before this. Now he is like my son.”

Reflecting on what he gained by portraying this role, Viggo said, “I think telling the story made me value just being alive and having family members who are alive, having friends. It’s a simple thing, really, but it’s like in any work of art, great painting, piece of music, a movie, that in the end tells you something that you already knew…A movie that tells you that and earns that like this one does, it’s worth its weight in gold.”

Charlize, who plays his deceased wife, said she “really responded to the book.” It “made me realize that even given the worst case scenario, that there’s great hope in us as human people and we can’t forget that,” said the actress.

‘The Road’ opens in theaters on November 25.
