And next up for her is Dark Places, an adaptation of Gone Girl writer Gillian Flynn’s novel that sees Theron teaming once again with her chrome and shiny Mad …
Back before JJ Abrams felt his disturbance in the Force and Lucasfilm were still looking for somebody to helm the upcoming new Star Wars: Episode VII (as it was still called then), Brad Bird was right at the top of their list. A lifelong Star Wars fan himself and coming off the hugely awesome 4th Mission: Impossible flick, Bird seemed …
