Charlize Theron in Prometheus....
In final week’s featurette for Ridley Scott’s Prometheus, Charlize Theron explained that her character, Meredith Vickers, functions for the Weyland Company and is essentially overseeing the mission that the team aboard Prometheus is undertaking, and she’s also a bit of a hard ass. However, whenever you speak to her in person, you quickly realize that Theron has a mouth like a sailor, she’s incredibly smart, and she can talk about something you ask her.
Yesterday in London, I got to take part in an extended group interview with Theron. She talked about making Prometheus, how the script evolved, operating with Ridley Scott and Damon Lindelof, the practical sets, the physical nature of the function, along with a lot more. In addition, she talked about her adore of HBO’s Game of Thrones and if she’d be open to being a part of it. Finally, for all you Mad Max fans, Theron says she leaves in two along with a half weeks for Namibia to shoot Mad Max: Fury Road and “we begin shooting I believe about mid-July.” She also says it’s “exactly exactly the same script” they set out to make three years ago, “there’s some badass violence in it,” and it’ll be as much as George Miller if they make a PG-13 or an rated R film. Hit the jump for the complete interview.
With so much begin and stop on the development of Mad Max: Fury Road, you may believe Theron would have lost some interest in the project. You’d be wrong. When she was asked what it is about the film that she’s searching forward to taking on, she replied:
“I believe that, just like [Prometheus], that is an fascinating globe. I really feel that I have a real interest in this world, and I believe people will have an interest in this globe simply because Alien kinda set that up for us. I feel like the original Mad Max created such a vivid world, that to go back and re-imagine it and type of replay in that sandbox sounds like fun to me. George truly created a female character that I’ve never read anything like this. I mean, I’m scared shitless, yeah.”
