The South African actress is set to produce a movie about American war correspondent Marie Colvin , who was killed in Syria in February this year. According to The Hollywood Reporter , Charlize Theron is interested in telling the life story of the journalist on the big screen. She could also take up the lead role in the movie, which was inspired by an article in Vanity Fair . As a specialist of the Middle East, Marie Colvin corresponded with numerous outlets throughout her career, which took her to war zones in Iran, Chechnya, Zimbabwe and Sri Lanka, where she lost sight in her left eye in 2001. She had been reporting from the frontlines of the Arab Spring since 2011 and died in a bombing on February 22, 2012, in Syria.

Article on war reporter Marie Colvin inspires the film The Young Adult star signed on to produce a project on war reporter Marie Colvin, who died in Syria this year, with Basil Iwanyks ( The Town ) production company. The film was inspired by the article Marie Colvins Private War featured in Vanity Fair and written by Marie Brenner. Whether or not Theron will star in the film is still uncertain, as of now Collider can only confirm that she is working on Iwanyks production team to find a writer to adapt the article featured in Vanity Fair. Speaking of writers, this is not the first time Brenners articles have led to the production of a movie. Director Michael Mann adapted her piece The Man Who Knew Too Much for the film The Insider . The Hollywood Reporter informed readers that the American reporter Colvin was in Syria covering the civil war when she died earlier this year in February. Colvin specialized in Middle East affairs and wrote articles for the British newspaper The Sunday T

LOS ANGELES (TheWrap.com) - Charlize Theron is in talks to produce and possibly star in a feature film about the slain war reporter Marie Colvin , a rep for Theron told TheWrap on Thursday. Thunder Road's Peter Lawson and Basil Iwanyk are producing, having optioned the rights to the Vanity Fair article, "Marie Colvin's Private War," written by Marie Brenner. Colvin was the American reporter who died covering the civil war in Syria last February for the U.K.'s Sunday Times. She was known for her compassionate coverage of war victims and reported from several conflict zones including Chechnya, Kosovo, Sierra Leone, Zimbabwe and Sri Lanka, where she lost her left eye in 2001. The project is currently out to writers.

Charlize Theron is teaming up Basil Iwanyk to produce a film about slain war journalist Marie Colvin. Colvin was killed on Feb. 22, 2012 while covering the 2011-2012 Syrian Uprising. The Hollywood Reporter announced the project, which will be released by Thunder Road pictures, on Thursday. The film is based on the Vanity Fair article " Marie Colvin's Private War ." Written by Marie Brenner, the article depicts the award winning reporter's final days. This is not the first article by Brenner to inspire a film. Her 1996 whistle blower, " The Man Who Knew Too Much ," served as the basis for the 1999 film "The Insider." Though born in the U.S., Colvin worked for the London Sunday Times from 1985 until her death. She dedicated much of her life to reporting on events in the Middle East. She also braved horrific conditions in Chechnya, Kosovo, East Timor, Sri Lanka (where she lost her left eye), and Zimbabwe . She was one of the first journalists to int

Charlize Theron is to produce - and possibly star - in a film about the late war reporter Marie Colvin. The South African actress, most recently seen in Snow White And The Huntsman, is set to produce the big-screen adaptation of a Vanity Fair article with Basil Iwanyk , said The Hollywood Reporter . She is rumoured to also play the journalist, but this has not yet been confirmed. The film, entitled Marie Colvin's Private War, written by Marie Brenner, tells the story of the determined Sunday Times journalist, who died in February with photographer Remi Ochlik, while covering the Syrian uprising. The search for a writer to adapt the article is now under way. US-born Marie covered wars and conflicts from Kosovo , Chechnya , East Timor and Sri Lanka , where she lost an eye, although she focused on Middle East affairs.

Charlize Theron is eyeing an untitled project being produced by Basil Iwanyk ( Brooklyn's Finest , The Town , The Expendables ) about slain war correspondent Marie Colvin . The project is being developed from Vanity Fair 's feature about Colvin's life and her murder at age 56 this February in Syria. Theron is aiming to produce and possibly act, "though she has not committed to star," THR writes. Theron did the producer/actor dance for 2003's Monster , which was phenomenal.

She's clearly got a bit of a thing for stripping off. But, with a body - and self-confidence - like Charlize Theron's, that's perhaps par for the course. The actress, 36, has now confirmed what we have long suspected: that she has no qualms about being naked in front of a camera. Speaking with W Magazine, the Prometheus star showed not a hint of a body image hang-up when she described her ease with filming sex scenes. "It depends on who youre doing the sex scene with. I dont have issues being naked", she told the glossy. "That sounds very slutty ... What I mean is, Im not hung up on my body, and Ive been lucky to work with people Ive been really comfortable with." Not that co-star Michael Fassbender, 35, made the situation less awkward. "And Michael's one of the two who did not make me feel very comfortable," she said. The shoot displayed more than a hint of Theron's submissive side, with industrial-themed styling seeing Fassbender in i

A source told National Enquirer magazine: "She is not going out in public as much because of her hair. She's growing it out as soon as possible." The 36-year-old beauty is said to have stocked up on hair products in a bid to make her locks grow faster.

Still from Young Adult. By Jason Johnson The New PaperSunday, Aug 05, 2012 One of the funniest movies of last year. Then there's Charlize Theron. Yay! There are those who think that girls aren't funny, more so if they are pretty. Charlize Theron would be the exception to that rule if such a sentiment were in fact true. Young Adult is one of the funniest movies of last year and Theron is the funniest person in it - a pretty great accomplishment, considering her co-star is Patton Oswalt, one of the most popular and respected comedians around. She plays Mavis Gary, a writer of novels for girls. Divorced and rather miserable, she heads back to her hometown to seduce her high school boyfriend (Patrick Wilson), who is married and has a newborn daughter. Things do not go quite as planned and she ends up spending most of her time getting drunk with a handicapped nerdy ex-schoolmate (Oswalt), who still has a crush on her. Young Adult was written by Diablo Cody, who is both famous and in
