Charlize Theron has signed on for the revival of the actor’s post-apocalyptic Mad Max movies.
Charlize will star in the fourth installment of the franchise – last seen on our screens in 1985 – with Mad Max: Fury Road.
British actor Tom Hardy will be the Burning Plain beauty’s leading man when they start filming in Australia next August.
No news on whether Mel — who launched his career as an Aussie unknown in the original 1979 Max Max movie – will be involved.
The trilogy (Mad Max, Road Warrior and Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome, starring Tina Turner) is set in a dystopian future world ruled by violent gangs.

Could this be a casting development for the upcoming Mad Max sequel/reboot? There have been rumors floating around regarding the fourth installment of the action franchise that made Mel Gibson a star for years. Director George Miller has been more than vocal about his desire to produce another film. Now we’re hearing rumors via EOnline that Oscar winner Charlize Theron and Tom Hardy may have been cast as the leads in the new film.
The working title being used for the film is Mad Max: Fury Road, instead of Mad Max 4 (that doesn’t roll the tongue as well). According to multiple sources, Theron is already on board to star as the female lead in the …

In the post-apocalyptic drama “The Road,” Charlize Theron plays a wife and mother who yearns to commit suicide because she can’t handle the overwhelming bleakness surrounding her.
In “The Burning Plain,” which opens Friday, the 34-year-old portrays a miserable restaurateur whose guilt over past secrets manifests itself in empty sex and self-abuse.
Pretty heavy stuff.
But don’t think Theron isn’t aware of how tough it can be to sell such dark stories to a movie-going audience that is largely looking for lighter subject matter amid the slumping economy.

Charlize Theron has opted out of the thriller “The Tourist,” to which she has long been attached, and sources say Angelina Jolie is in talks to replace her.
Jolie, fresh off an action-heavy part in “Salt,” would take on the one-part seductress, one-part action role of the title.
The project is now also seeking a director, with Bharat Nalluri (“Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day”) recently exiting. Neither producer Spyglass Entertainment, nor Nalluri, nor reps for the actresses could immediately be reached for comment.
Production is tentatively set to begin in early 2010.
A remake of the French thriller “Anthony Zimmer” from 2005, “Tourist” centers on an American tourist who goes undercover on behalf of Interpol to entrap …

Charlize Theron is not “an exhibitionist”.
The ‘Burning Plain’ actress – who appears naked in the first scene of the movie, and has also stripped off in ‘Monster’ and ‘The Devil’s Advocate’ – insists she only flashes flesh on film if it is integral to the storyline.
She explained: “I’m not some exhibitionist. I think people think I just love walking around naked.
“When you start making it about yourself, you stand in the way of doing your job. I have to sit in an editing room with the director and a bunch of execs, and if I had to sit there and think about myself and these men watching me, I think that would make me insecure. …

Two websites recently had a chance to meet Charlize. ReelzChannel.com has shared with us their recent interview with Charlize Theron about her latest flick, The Burning Plain. You can read the full interview in their website.

It wasn’t long ago that word came down that ‘Hancock 2′ was in the works. Within a span of a week, the project had director Peter Berg making declarations about the storyline and had two screenwriters jumping on board for Columbia. Now, it appears the two leads for the first ‘Hancock’ will be returning.
MTV caught up with Berg about Will Smith and Charlize Theron’s involvement in the sequel.
Everybody’s going to come back for a sequel.
That’s what Berg had to say on the matter. This confirms something Theron stated to MTV last September when she said she would follow Smith wherever her went.
In the article from MTV, Berg also …
