Charlize Theron is to star in the next film from the Oscar winning team of Jason Bateman and Diablo Cody, by headlining the flick, Young Adult, according to Deadline.com.
Theron will play a ghost writer of young adult books, who returns home to her old town to *goes all My So Called Life* like, find, herself and stuff. Finding herself involves getting to know her old boyfriend again, who is now married with a brand spanking new baby. Cody is hoping to prove that the downright brilliant Juno wasn't a fluke, while Bateman is on a winning streak at the moment - Up In The Air was robbed at the Oscars this year.
Apparently Bateman and Cody and just trying to put the final piece of financing together for the film, but that shouldn’t prove too much of a problem now Theron is on board. Hopefully we see this soon - love the talent on both sides of the camera.
