Charlize Theron is set for another gritty role as a heroin addict and single mother in new movie THE ICE AT THE BOTTOM OF THE WORLD.

The actress, who won an Oscar for her role as serial killer AILEEN WUORNOS in MONSTER, has been trying to get the film made for years.

Theron will also produce the new movie. The film deal will give the actress all rights to the film once it has been filmed and she will own the negative.
