Thanks to Prometheus, the slightly idling career of Charlize Theron has been kicked back into high gear, and she’s now in negotiations to star in and produce Murder Mystery for director John Madden, according to Deadline.
The first news of the project surface back in December 2010, when Kevin Macdonald was attached to direct, but he’s now been replaced by Shakespeare In Love and The Debt’s Madden. The comedy is described as an ‘affectionate deconstruction’ of an Agatha Christie-style whodunit, which centres on an American couple traveling overseas.
James Vanderbilt (Total Recall, The Amazing Spider-Man) wrote the screenplay, although there’s no news on when it might shoot.
