The Burning Plain Trailer | Clip 1

Charlize Theron always gets the best costars, doesn’t she? In the last year, she’s starred or signed on opposite Will Smith, Viggo Mortensen, and Mark Wahlberg. Now it looks like she can add Tom Cruise to the glittering list. According to Variety, she’s in talks to star opposite Cruise in “The Tourist,” Bharat Nalluri’s remake of the 2005 French thriller “Anthony Zimmer.”

Theron will play a female Interpol agent who uses an American tourist in an attempt to discover the location of an elusive criminal, with whom she once had a torrid love affair. It’s not clear whether Cruise will play the tourist, or the criminal — but considering which role is in the title, we can probably guess who he is playing.

Compared to the original “Anthony Zimmer,” Theron’s role has been given an extra edge of cool as an Interpol agent, as the French heroine was merely the criminal’s girlfriend. You can’t expect Aeon Flux to play less than an Interpol agent, especially if she’s up against Cruise. It should be a lot of fun to see her tackle another action role, and give him the runaround.

The movie is expected to begin shooting in March, and is waiting for a final script polish by Christopher McQuarrie, who cowrote Cruise’s upcoming movie “Valkyrie.”

Charlize Theron has settled a $20 million lawsuit with the luxury watchmaker that accused her of breach of contract.

Bosses at Swiss company Raymond Weil claimed they paid Theron the sum to wear its watches exclusively between October 2005 and December 2006.

According to court documents, Theron broke their agreement when she “was actually photographed wearing a watch from the Christian Dior line” at a press event in Austin on March 14.

The following month, Theron modeled a Montblanc watch on a billboard at a Swiss trade show.

Company executives added the violations “demonstrate a total disregard by (Theron) for any of her obligations under the agreement.”

The settlement follows her lawyers’ failed attempts to have the case dismissed.

New court documents filed in Manhattan Federal Court reveal the suit will be tossed when it is finalized within 30 days.

Terms of the settlement in the have not been disclosed.

It would seem billionaire tycoon Sir Richard Branson has a new number one fan, none other than Hollywood superstar Charlize Theron.

While the entrepreneur is all at sea after abandoning his bid to break the world record for crossing the Atlantic, the Academy Award-winning actress stepped out in Hollywood for a special fundraiser for his charity Virgin Unite.

And Charlize couldn’t say enough about Sir Richard: “He’s got to be that guy that we all just secretly want to live his life.”

“Even if it’s just for a week I mean wouldn’t that be incredible? If you had to pick one person he would be the guy for me, I would want to be him for a week.”

Despite having her own hugely successful career, the actress confessed to being in awe of the Virgin boss: “He’s an inspiration, I think we want to surround ourselves with people who inspire you and push you and this guy does that on a level that is out of control.”

Charlize Theron said she felt great while being directed by her boyfriend in their latest movie – “Battle in Seattle.”

“It was great. He loved directing and I’ve never seen him so happy – which hurts my feelings as his girlfriend!” the 33-year-old actress told reporters, according to People Magazine.

Theron said Stuart Townsend, her boyfriend of seven years, prepared five years for this project. The actress told reporters that during a vacation to Fiji, she was a bit disappointed that Townsend had a lot of research to do, while she was in the mood for love.

“I would be like, ‘Romance time!’ But he would have a pile of research and I would be like, ‘Oh my God, this is so not sexy!’ But that passion paid off,” she said.

On the other hand, the Irish actor who now makes his directorial debut with “Battle in Seattle,” said that, although he loved working with his girlfriend, it was kind of embarrassing. Theron once called him by his pet name and then all the crew started to call him by that name which was pretty embarrassing, Townsend said.

“I said to them, ‘That’s not cool. I’m trying to be a serious director here,’” the 35-year-old Irishman told the crew.

When asked to reveal the pet name, Townsend refused.
