               Some of the oddest team-ups in cinematic history turn out to be some of the best. It seems that Hollywood is trying to bring together another interesting cast with Seth Rogen and Charlize Theron as Collider reports the acting duo have been cast in the next comedy from Jonathan Levine (50/50, The Night Before).

            Rogen has worked with Levine before in the two films listed above, both of which I love, especially the former in which Rogen co-starred with Joseph Gordon-Levitt. This new film from Levine, currently titled Flarsky (awful title) follows Rogen as an unemployed journalist who is damaged from his own misfortune as he pursues his childhood crush and babysitter who is now regarded as one of the most powerful and unattainable women on Earth. That woman will be played by Theron, who could sell the role and I can see this movie being an absolute hit just based on the talent involved. The movie needs a new name for sure, but I’m excited to see Theron flex that comedic gene that she hasn’t since Young Adult.

            Theron will be seen this year in Fate of the Furious as well as David Leitch’s spy thriller Atomic Blonde. Rogen will be seen next in the highly-anticipated movie from James Franco, The Disaster Artist. Levine’s next film, Snatched starring Amy Schumer and Goldie Hawn will be in theaters on May 20^th.
