Charlize Theron Takes a Break From Producing and Lining Up New Projects

Charlize Theron headed out in NYC yesterday. She's been on the East Coast since her current project, Hatfields and McCoys, began filming in Boston last month. Charlize was on set with her son, Jackson, last week, taking breaks when she wasn't busy overseeing production of the NBC pilot as a producer.

Charlize may be strictly behind the scenes for this venture, but she's set to produce and star in an untitled crime film from writer Dan Nowak. The Paramount Studios-backed thriller marks the fourth endeavor Charlize is now attached to. She recently signed for Seth MacFarlane's comedy A Million Ways to Die in the West, as well as a Fred Savage-directed comedy called Ladies Night. Charlize is rounding out her long list by signing on to star in, and again produce, the film adaptation of Gillian Flynn's novel Dark Places.
