Gone Girl author Gillian Flynn sees another of her books come to life with this week's theatrical release of Dark Places [1]. Charlize Theron [2] stars as the film's protagonist Libby Day, a woman haunted by a horrific past, and I chatted with Theron at the movie's press day about why she was hungry to bite into such a troubled character. Flynn also talks about why Theron was perfect to play such an imperfect person.
