Charlize Theron Gossip

Charlize Theron had a really busy day yesterday, especially for somebody promoting a movie that came out three months ago. First, she attended a Tully Q&A for SAG-AFTRA with screenwriter Diablo Cody, before presenting at the HFPA Grants Banquet, where she introduced a clip on film restoration. There, emcee William H. Full Story

Ask me why I’m so excited.  Ask me why the news that Charlize Theron and Margot Robbie have joined Nicole Kidman in the cast of a movie about Fox News and Roger Ailes Full Story

There were rumours earlier this month that Charlize Theron and Alexander Skarsgard are dating. Full Story

With Tully, director Jason Reitman and writer Diablo Cody collaborate for the third time, following Juno and Young Adult (one of the decade’s best films). Tully is the richest and most mature of their collaborations, anchored again, as in Young Adult, by a searing performance from Charlize Theron. Full Story

The advertising for Gringo is somewhat misleading, so realign your expectations now—this is not an R-rated weed comedy a la Pineapple Express. No, Gringo is more like a Coen Brothers movie in which a pot pill is the Macguffin. In fact, pot is so unimportant, beyond being a plot device, it’s not even entirely clear if the Macguffin pill is for medicinal use or recreational consumption. Full Story

I am big into suits right now. A few weeks ago I mentioned that I was looking for a non-black tuxedo. It was for the Oscars. The producers gave me the go-ahead for a tux as long as it wasn’t black (we like to put colour on TV for visual interest) although we still pulled a black suit on standby in case there was a blackout dress code in effect like there was at the Golden Globes. Full Story

Just in time for the holidays, like a little present from the universe, comes a trailer for Gringo, a movie starring Sharlto Copley. I love Sharlto Copley, and he is not in nearly enough movies to satisfy me, which would be all the movies. Sharlto Copley should be in all the movies. He is delightful. Full Story

Set on the eve of the fall of the Berlin Wall, and choreographed to a thumping Euro-pop synth beat, Atomic Blonde is the best action movie this year since John Wick: Chapter 2. That makes sense, as Atomic Blonde comes from the same production/stunt company as John Wick, and is directed by David Leitch, who co-directed John Wick. Full Story

Charlize Theron was in New York today after promoting Atomic Blonde in Berlin. Everyone I know who’s seen it loves it. The movie opens next weekend and the only other major release that weekend is the Emoji Movie… which… is a different kind of programming altogether but it would be great, non? It would be really f-cking great if another movie with a female action hero topped the box office this summer. Full Story

There’s nothing cute about Charlize Theron in these two oufits in Berlin to promote Atomic Blonde. But that doesn’t mean she’s not wearing the sh-t out of these two outfits. I don’t love a red dress, normally. Full Story
