Theron to work with boyfriend Townsend

It looks like Oscar-winner Charlize Theron is about to start taking her work home with her.

The Monster actress is apparently set to star in her boyfriend’s new movie, Battle In Seattle.

She is thought to be taking the lead role in the film, which will be Irish actor Stuart Townsend’s directorial debut.

The movie, also penned by Stuart, revolves around the World Trade Organisation meeting in 1999 in Seattle.

It focuses on a group of demonstrators who bring the city to a state of “near chaos” in the days running up to the meeting, according to Production Weekly.
