Love It or Leave It: Theron, Basinger in The Burning Plain

The Burning Plain is described as "a drama with a two-tiered storyline concerning a mother (Kim Basinger) and daughter (Charlize Theron) who try to form a bond after the young woman's difficult childhood," and the new trailer for the Sept. 18 release certainly includes plenty of drama. Drama, drama, drama. There appear to be some criss-crossing love affairs and lots of mother-daughter angst.

On the one hand, the movie was written and directed by Babel's Guillermo Arriaga and there seems to be plenty of dark, slow-boiling tension throughout. Having said that, though, I had to remind myself to pay attention to the trailer, as I found my mind wandering.

How do you think The Burning Plain looks? Promising? Or not so much?

Charlize Might Be Ready to Lighten Things Up

Charlize Theron's toes peeked out of her boots at The Burning Plain premiere in Madrid earlier today. She has been making the rounds promoting her movie and recently revealed she'd be interested in taking on lighter roles. The actress joked, "If there’s a woman in [a] doom and gloom scenario, my name comes up." We got a taste of Charlize's comedic side when she guest-starred on Arrested Development, and wouldn't mind seeing her mix it up.
