Charlize Theron may join Tom Cruise in the thriller "The Tourist."
According to Variety, Theron is in negotiations to join the project, which has Oscar winner Christopher McQuarrie working on a polish on the adaptation of the 2005 French thriller "Anthony Zimmer."
Julian Fellowes wrote the first draft of the script, which focuses on a female Interpol agent (Theron) who uses an American tourist as a pawn in a dangerous game involving her former lover, an elusive criminal.
Bharat Nalluri ("Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day") will direct "The Tourist," which could begin production as soon as March.
An Oscar winner for "Monster," Theron was most recently seen in the summer smash "Hancock." She has Guillermo Arriaga's "The Burning Plain" and the big screen version of "The Road" on tap.

She might be known for her beauty and charm, but actress Charlize Theron has revealed that she can go without a shower for a whole week. During an interview on David Letterman show, the Oscar winning star admitted that sometimes, she could go without bathing for a good seven days.
"I'm a tough girl and I can not shower for a week I'm fine with that," New York Daily News quoted her as saying.
"I'm very spoiled and I don't take for granted how lucky I am to stay in fancy hotels and fly first class. So when I do have a little time off, I like to get down and dirty [by] camping or travelling to countries that don't have the luxuries," she added.
The 'Monster' star said, "there's a time and a place for everything and sometimes there's a time for not showering."

martes, 10 de junio de 2008 | Etiquetas: Charlize Theron, Will Smith
Charlize Theron was in for a shock when her co-star in the film Hancock gave her a sharp slap! The co-star was none other than Will Smith, who strongly denies the accusation!
Here’s what happened. The scene required Will to raise his hand and carry out a ‘fake slap’. They even practised for the scene a number of times. But when the camera started rolling, what Charlize received was a nice slap on her cheek!
She says, “He tried to fake slap me one time, but the fake one just didn’t happen. I think he just hit me! But Will claims I leaned into his hand and that’s how it happened. I was so shocked! I was like, ‘He just slapped me!’ But he said, 'I did not slap you. I had my hand there and you turned into it.' But it’s no issue actually! He’s no woman beater! We’re just kids on the set!”

Charlize Theron's Home Possibly Burgled
martes, 11 de diciembre de 2007 | Etiquetas: Charlize Theron
Charlize Theron’s Hollywood Hills home was the scene of a break-in last week, police said.
A spokesperson for the Los Angeles Police Department stated that Charlize Theron’s home in Hollywood Hills had been secured Thursday. Over the weekend however one or more persons entered the house, E! Online reports.
Los Angeles police are currently investigating the break-in. It is still unknown when the forced entry occurred and whether anything was taken from the house. Police said the actress’s neighbors did not report seeing anyone suspicious on the premises.
Theron’s publicist has not commented on the incident yet.
The Associated Press reports that, as of Monday, police spokeswoman Sara Faden could not say who reported the incident or when police were first notified.
This leaves open the possibility that whoever broke into the Academy Award-winner’s home may not have stolen anything.
It was in early October that actor Nicholas Cage found an intruder in his home in the middle of the night. The man was reportedly walking around the house, wearing one of Cage’s jackets.
The actor called the police and while waiting for the officers escorted his unwanted and apparently peaceful visitor outside the house.
Other celebrities have not been as lucky, such as Faith Hill and Tim McGraw, whose home was burglarized in February this year. The two were not home when they were robbed of an unknown amount of cash, notes E! Online.
Charlize Theron, who received an Academy Award for best actress in 2003 for her portrayal of Aileen Wuornos in “Monster” recently starred in Paul Haggis' drama “In the Valley of Elah.” Her longtime partner is Irish actor Stuart Townsend.

Charlize Theron crowned Sexiest Woman by Esquire
miércoles, 10 de octubre de 2007 | Etiquetas: Charlize Theron
Charlize Theron seems to have it all: beauty, brains, a high-earning Hollywood career and an Oscar in her hands. Now, the actress has added another coveted description: Sexiest Woman Alive.
Men's magazine Esquire on Wednesday bestowed its annual honor on the South African actress who is currently starring in war film "In the Valley of Elah."
"She combines unbelievable beauty with a smart mind and this attitude like she's almost one of the guys -- like you could hang out and have a beer with -- and all of that adds up to sexy," said Esquire articles editor Ryan D'Agostino.
In its November issue, which hits newsstands on October 16, Theron, 32, talks about her new movie, politics, being from South Africa and her feelings about the United States, where she recently earned dual citizenship.
The long-legged, blonde beauty also shows a penchant for drinking, cussing and smoking, and she tears up when talking about the recent death of her dog.
The issue annually is one of Esquire's most widely read, and it generates debate among readers, D'Agostino said.
He added that every year the Sexiest Woman exudes some sense of individuality, and that there is no set of criteria or rules by which the magazine's editors, writers and other contributors pick the titleholder.
D'Agostino did say the magazine likes to choose someone based on how current they are in pop culture. After taking time off following 2005 film "North Country," Theron is back with two movies, "Elah" and "Battle in Seattle," this year and has several others set for release next year and beyond.
Theron follows a long line of actresses and others claiming the Sexiest Woman title at the 74 year-old magazine. Last year's titleholder was Scarlett Johansson and the year before her, Jessica Biel.
Unlike the others Theron has won the Oscar, the world's top film award, for her role playing a lesbian serial killer in 2003 film, "Monster."
She has also shown a range of talent, working in serious dramas like "The Cider House Rules," thrillers such as "The Italian Job" and special-effects filled "AEon Flux."
Beyond work, the actress is involved in charitable causes working in her home country, for instance, to put mobile health clinics in rural areas where access to care is limited.
And sorry men, this year's Sexiest Woman is taken. Theron's boyfriend is actor Stuart Townsend.
