Charlize Theron Joins Paramount Crime Thriller

Charlize Theron is on a roll with landing acting gigs these days! She's just signed on to star in a new untitled crime thriller from Paramount Pictures. She will also produce the movie, which is described as "being similar in tone to The Departed and The End of Watch and centers on a corrupt vigilante group." The script for the film is being written by Dan Nowak (The Killing).

Theron is also set to star in Seth MacFarlane's comedy A Million Ways to Die in the West, Fred Savage's comedy Ladies Night, and an an independent adaptation of the Gillian Flynn novel Dark Places. She recently finished shooting Mad Max: Fury Road, which I'm incredibly excited about seeing! 

Theron is a solid actress, and it's cool to see her taking on a variety of film projects, not only as an actor but as a producer as well.
