Charlize Theron is hopping aboard the indie drama Ferris Wheel.
Despite the cheery, fairground imagery-conjuring title, Zac Stanford’s script chronicles an 11-year-old girl’s attempts to deal with being abandoned by her mother.
Bill Maher is directing the movie, which will also feature Nick Stahl, Woody Harrelson, Deborra-Lee Furness (AKA Mrs Hugh Jackman) and AnnaSophia Robb. They’ll all arrive in Canada next week to start shooting.
