Charlize Theron has a big weekend this week, as she headlines two huge blockbusters released in Irish cinemas, Snow White and the Huntsman and Prometheus. The Oscar winner does good work in those productions and has now been talking up her work in Mad Max.

She told Shocktilyoudrop.com, I'm very excited about it; I'm fucking dying!" said the actress. "It's been three years; it's time to skin this cat already!" Theron said the film will move ahead in the next few months and is obviously very excited by it. She told the site, "it's a really challenging piece of material. I think for me originally when they were like, "Oh, ‘Mad Max.'" I was like, "Uh, I'm not going to play the fucking girl for ‘Mad Max.'" Then I read it and I was like, "Oh, ‘Mad Max.' I feel sorry for you." (Laughs) That rarely happens. It's just really, it's two great characters. It's not the original "Mad Max." It's the revamped "Mad Max." It's Tom Hardy, who's incredible. So, the whole thing is just exciting, very, very exciting."

George Miller quickly turned his attention to this after Justice League fell through and it's finally gathering momentum - Tom Hardy is of course, Max. Mel Gibson is still mad, though. I'M HERE ALL WEEK, FOLKS.
