Charlize Theron and "Apex" director Baltasar Kormákur have found their next collaboration in "Six Clean Kills," an action thriller set up at Universal Pictures.
Kormákur is set to direct and produce the feature while Theron is also on board to produce with an eye to star.
Details are being kept in under wraps, but the script is being written by Stan Parish based on his unreleased novel.
The project follows the muscular showing of "Apex," a survival adventure thriller that scored strong reviews and even stronger viewership numbers for Netflix after hitting the giant streamer on April 24.
Taron Egerton also starred in the pic that saw its viewership numbers rise in the second week.
Theron will produce through her Secret Menu first-look deal with Universal Pictures along with AJ Dix and Beth Kono. Kormákur will produce through Blueeyes Productions. Parish will executive produce.
The project began coalescing last year, after the two had completed production on "Apex".
Theron is part of the family at Universal, appearing in three of the studio’s signature "Fast and Furious" movies.
Kormákur is the Icelandic director who previously helmed "101 Reykjavík," "Jar City," and "Everest," stories set against harsh backdrops with themes of survival and emotional extremes.
He previously worked with Universal on "Beast," a survival drama that saw Idris Elba square off against a killer lion.
