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, based on a story by David Weil and Cody Behan.
Theron, known for her action movies like 'Mad Max: Fury Road', 'Æon Flux', and 'The Old Guard', will be seen in a new avatar.
The project is being produced by The Picture Company's Alex Heineman and Andrew Rona, along with Theron's Secret Menu partners Beth Kono and AJ Dix, and Weil's producing partner Natalie Laine Williams.
