APEX: Charlize Theron Slated to Star in High-Concept Thriller from Netflix

Charlize Theron To Land Role in Netflix Thriller

Oscar-winning actress, Charlize Theron, has been in negotiations to be cast in director Baltasar Kormákur‘s forthcoming high-concept Netflix thriller, Apex.

Academy award winner, Charlize Theron, has just joined final negotiations for a project which may appeal to her fans more than any of her other recent films. Touch director, Baltasar Kormákur, is slated to direct Theron in Apex, a movie which takes the suspense thriller to new heights- literally. Picture Free Solo meets The Silence of the Lambs. That’s the basic summary of what the movie will be like.

Theron will portray an ambitious rock climber who is forced to confront the unthinkable in the wild when she finds herself being hunted. This type of suspense movie can be taken to many different levels and under the direction of Kormákur, audiences can most likely expect an assured, edge-your-seat Netflix movie.

Meanwhile. Baltasar Kormákur has a picture which was just released called Touch which was very sentimental and smart. It proved the filmmaker has the delicacy and skillset to craft an intelligent, thought-provoking movie.

While Apex sounds conventional in some ways, it also sounds exciting and like something unique in other respects. That’s because we’ve had pictures set in the wild before but when combining terrifying elements into the action beyond the obvious ones, it is most likely going to heighten the intensity of the picture overall. It is almost certain that Theron will come out aces in her performance in the film if she does finalize the deal to star in the movie.

Netflix was eager to buy into the Apex project and get it on their slate of upcoming films. Theron has worked with Netflix on movies like The Old Guard so her involvement in the project would be fitting. Theron is an Academy award winner for Monster where she donned makeup to play a pathetic serial killer. Theron managed to add some humanity to the character which made the film an interesting dramatic picture based on true events. It was directed by Patty Jenkins. Theron also starred in action movies like The Fate of the Furious and Aeon Flux before that. She has tackled a very diverse range of roles throughout her prestigious career.

Apex promises to keep audiences enthralled and seems like a movie that will be the very reason to own a big screen TV. Watching Charlize Theron fighting for survival sounds like the quintessential action picture. With the one-two punch of Theron and Baltasar Kormákur, audiences can be assured they’ll be entertained by the efforts of two of the most exciting talents in the biz. More information will be revealed on this very intriguing Netflix project as details are revealed.
