Charlize Theron will star in and produce 'Tyrant,' a culinary thriller directed by David Weil.
The film is described as having the tone of 'Wall Street' and 'Whiplash,' set in NYC's high-end culinary scene.
This is Theron's first movie after 'The Old Guard 2' received poor reviews.
The film will also feature another lead female character.
Why this matters: Theron's involvement brings star power to a unique thriller concept, potentially drawing a wide audience. The culinary world setting combined with thriller elements offers a fresh narrative.
'Tyrant' will be directed by David Weil, who also wrote the screenplay based on a story by Weil and Cody Behan. Theron will produce alongside Beth Kono and A.J. Dix through Secret Menu, with Alex Heineman and Andrew Rona of The Picture Company also producing.
Plot details are currently vague, but 'Tyrant' is said to have shades of 'Wall Street' and 'Whiplash,' set in NYC’s high-end culinary world. Weil recently sold the spec 'Supermax' to Miramax and is also writing 'Extraction 3' for Netflix.
Upcoming Secret Menu projects include the Netflix original thriller 'Apex,' starring Theron and Taron Egerton, a limited series adaptation of 'The Quiet Tenant,' and 'Jane,' a psychological thriller loosely based on Philip K. Dick’s life. Theron will also appear in Christopher Nolan’s 'The Odyssey' next summer.
