Charlize Theron is set to star in Amazon's intense thriller 'Tyrant', written and directed by David Weil.
The movie is set in the high-end culinary world of New York City and is based on a story by David Weil and Cody Behan.
The project is being produced by The Picture Company and Theron's production company, with producers including Alex Heineman, Andrew Rona, Beth Kono, AJ Dix, and Natalie Laine Williams.
The movie looks like Theron's kind of movie, given her history of action roles in films like 'Mad Max: Fury Road,' 'Æon Flux,' and 'The Old Guard.'
Amazon and The Picture Company won the rights to the project after a bidding war in August, fast-tracking development once Theron joined.
