by Stax
US, March 14, 2008 - Oscar winner Charlize Theron will produce and star in an Americanized remake of Park Chan-wook's 2005 revenge flick Sympathy for Lady Vengeance.
Theron told Moviesblog.MTV.com that she only agreed to do the movie because Chan-wook asked her. "He made an almost perfect film [but] he came to me and said he really wanted us to do this. He wanted to see that story told in an American society," Theron said.
The Aeon Flux and In the Valley of Elah actress added, "If he wasn't so encouraging I don't think I could go through with it. We're intimidated almost beyond belief."
Theron will play the role based on the character of Lee Geum-ja in the Korean original, who was wrongly imprisoned and seeks bloody revenge upon her release.
According to Theron, the film was only in "the very, very early stages of development" and that no director had been hired yet.
