More sci-fi for Charlize


In less than two months Academy Award winner Charlize Theron (Monster) will grace the cinema as a Company stooge in the highly anticipated Ridley Scott film Prometheus. Not only are my expectations through the roof for this film, my expectations are equally sky high for Theron's performance. My sincere wish is that she tops her acting performance in Aeon Flux, which if anyone has ever seen the film is not asking much.
Well it appears that Miss Theron is not done with sci-fi. "Variety" reports that Theron has signed to star in Agent 13, an action thriller whose plot...well no one knows what it's about yet. I know that's kind of disappointment but hey I never claimed to lunch with Steven Spielberg on a weekly basis. The screenplay comes from writer T.S. Nowlin who has several projects in the pipeline right now. Also Rise of the Planet of the Apes director Rupert Wyatt will be directing the film. That bodes well since Rise of the Planet of the Apes was a surprise hit for 2011 and an overall fantastic film.
What also bodes well is that Fox, Warner Bros., Universal, and Sony are all vying for the rights to do this movie. Other than that...well...at least we know Agent 13 will be hot.
