Although nothing is set in stone just yet, reports have surfaced that Charlize Theron is to take on the role of Marie Colvin, the acclaimed war journalist who sadly lost her life earlier this year while reporting on the Syrian civil war.
Apparently, Theron is in talks with THE TOWN’s producer, Basil Iwanyk, to create a biopic of Colvin’s life. And boy, did she have one hell of a life! She reported from many different war zones, including Kosovo and Chechnya. Over her career, she became known for taking risks and putting herself on the front line to make sure she had the truest report of the bloodshed (this including losing an eye while reporting from Sri Lanka).
Currently, Iwanyk is looking for a writer to adapt Marie Brenner’s Vanity Fair article, Marie Colvin’s Private War. If the project were to go ahead, this would be a change from Basil’s most recently produced works, which include THE EXPENDABLES 1 & 2, CLASH OF THE TITANS and WRATH OF THE TITANS. With such a sensitive topic at hand, I hope they produce something touching and interesting.

Considering Jazmine grew up watching CARRY ON SCREAMING, THE LION KING and JURASSIC PARK on repeat for weeks on end, it made sense for her to study film at London South Bank University. It’s also a good thing that her course requires a lot of sitting down because she’s very accident-prone. When she’s not examining her bruises, she likes pretending that she doesn’t live in Southend-On-Sea and spends hours mindlessly blogging. Favourite films include BLUE VALENTINE, ETERNAL SUNSHINE OF THE SPOTLESS MIND and TOY STORY 2.
