Julia Garner to Star Alongside Charlize Theron in Director David Weil's Thriller TYRANT at Amazon MGM Studios

Movie Tyrant Julia Garner Charlize Theron David Weil about an hour agoby Jessica Fisher

Emmy winner Julia Garner (Ozark, The Fantastic Four: First Steps) has joined the cast of director David Weil’s (Lisa) upcoming film, Tyrant alongside Academy Award winner Charlize Theron (Monster, Mad Max: Fury Road). Weil wrote the script for the film with Cody Behan.

Amazon and Picture Company landed the coveted spec in August after a bidding war, with the project being fast-tracked once Theron showed interest and joined at the end of last year.

Once she was on board, the attention then turned to casting her counterpart in the project, which had a number of stars chasing before the execs and producers ultimately landed on Garner, who is coming off a great year.

Plot details are vague other than Tyrant is said to have shades of Wall Street and Whiplash set in NYC’s high-end culinary world. I like the basis for the story, and I love Garner and Theron, so I look forward to seeing what this movie shapes up to be.
