 Beyond that, though, there is undoubtedly something about lower-class struggles that appeals to Theron’s instincts. “We all know that life is hard. If you get to travel a little bit through America, you’ll see a lot of people living in very different circumstances than a lot of us, and a lot of that influences the decisions they make. I think that’s where humanity comes from: understanding circumstance. Not just judging it or labeling it, but having some kind of empathy for understanding what certain events or surroundings in your life might cause you to end up being. And a lot of people out there deal with not necessarily a great hand of cards.” Next up for Theron is this summer’s satirical Hancock, starring Will Smith as a drunk and homeless superhero. After that, it’s the adaptation of Cormac McCarthy’s bestselling novel The Road, about less fortunate people of a different sort: a father (Viggo Mortensen) and his son as two of the last people alive in a post-apocalyptic America. “It’s actually very hopeful,” Theron says about the seemingly bleak story, in which she’ll appear in flashbacks as Mortensen’s wife. “I think it’s probably the most hopeful thing I’ve ever read on us, as the human species. The circumstances of the story are real and dark and sad, but not necessarily grim and hopeless. I don’t want to make movies like that, because I just don’t believe that. If you don’t have hope, you’re not alive. And if you’re alive you have hope, and that’s really what The Road is about. And that’s what this is about: that there’s hope no matter what.” |
