TO STAR IN 'EVERY- THING NICE' MOVIE DRAMA
I have a feeling Charlize Theron wants another Oscar: according to 'Deadline' Universal has bought a script inspired by Ellen Shanman's book EVERYTHING NICE planned as a potential starring vehicle for the South African blond beauty. If the deal goes through Charlize will play Michaela, an advertising exec who gets fired and takes on the only job she can get, teaching life skills to teenage girls at a public school. Lacking in the basic social skills herself, she tries her best to school her pupils in what they’ll need to know in order to survive. After she adopted a son, Charlize has made a two years break away from Hollywood and is returning this year with roles in comedy western A MILLION WAYS TO DIE IN THE WEST and in DARK PLACES drama next to Nicholas Hoult and Christina Hendricks.
'TURN' HISTORICAL TV SERIES
After the end of THE WALKING DEAD Sundays over at AMC will be taken over by TURN, new historical series ready to premier April 6th, and today you can check out the atmospheric cast pictures from the epic saga. Based on Alexander Rose’s book 'Washington’s Spies', AMC’s TURN tells the untold story of America’s first spy ring. A historical thriller set during the Revolutionary War, TURN centres on Abe Woodhull (played by movie star Jamie Bell), a farmer living in British occupied Long Island who bands together with his childhood friends to form the Culper Ring - an unlikely team of secret agents who not only went on to help George Washington turn the tide of the war but also gave birth to modern spycraft.

It'll be nice to see Charlize in a new film! (I went and saw Divergent with my daughter yesterday. It was pretty good. I think I liked Hunger Games a little better, though.)
ReplyDeleteI generally don't do dystopian films when they're in YA genre. But Kate Winslet looked lovely at the premiere
DeleteLooks great, very atmospheric!
ReplyDeleteI think so too, Phil
DeleteTurn looks intriguing.
ReplyDeleteI noticed Sherry's comment on Divergent. Haven't seen it yet but want to.
Hurry while it still plays in the cinemas :)
DeleteI've seen to previews for TURN, and they have my attention.
ReplyDeleteI wonder if they got the name from the term "Turncoat"?
that's an interesting question, Dave
DeleteI am so happy to see Charlize Theron back on the screen! It has been a long 2 years of not seeing her pretty face!
ReplyDeleteyep, we did miss her, but I can't say I like the films she will appear in this and next year :( Instead of making her softer, the new roles will make her gritty and even aggressive
DeleteI like the concept of Turn
ReplyDeleteI thought you would!
DeleteWhat in Gods name is Charlize doing dating that freak Sean Penn? And the rumour is they shall marry. Dreadful, just dreadful.
ReplyDeleteOn the other hand, Turn might be good :)
I'm shocked too, dear. And to only think she was with Stewart Townsend before.... Just sooo disappointing. He is such a horrible actor
DeleteCharlize Theron always lovely , great actress .
ReplyDeletewe do like her! South African people are gorgeous
DeleteWishing Charlize all the very best with her return.
ReplyDeleteshe will need all the good luck
DeleteCan I get my Sundays back to TWD instead of Turn? That'd make me a happy camper!
ReplyDeletewell, given how the new showruiner has ruined the show losing its dynamics and suspense, methink a break is kinda welcomed
DeleteCharlize can teach me life lessons, I bet. Good actrice too. Still don't know what the heck she did in Prometheus, though.
ReplyDeleteWait... I know.... Moneymoneymoney.
well every lass needs an occasional blockbuster :)
DeleteI prefer FERNANDO to Moneymoneymoney :)
I bet you do! So what's keeping The Dezz?
DeleteI cannot wait for Turn. It looks really exciting and Jamie is hot, hot, hot!!
ReplyDeletehope we see him naked in the show.... bathing in some revolutionary river :)
