Charlize Theron's New Role in Amazon's Thriller 'Tyrant'
Charlize Theron is set to star in Amazon MGM Studios' thriller 'Tyrant', written and directed by David Weil.
The movie is set in the high-end culinary world of New York City, a departure from Theron's typical action movie roles in films like 'Mad Max: Fury Road' and 'The Old Guard'.
The project is based on a story by David Weil and Cody Behan, and is being produced by The Picture Company and Theron's production company, Secret Menu.
- Producers: Alex Heineman, Andrew Rona, Beth Kono, AJ Dix, and Natalie Laine Williams

The movie looks like Theron's kind of movie, set against the backdrop of the high-end culinary world.
Amazon and The Picture Company won the rights to the project after a bidding war in August, fast-tracking development once Theron joined.
