Charlize Theron talks working with Patty Jenkins on 'Monster.'
Before Patty Jenkins had beef with Warner Bros. surrounding her involvement in the now-canceled Wonder Woman 3, the director had grievances with the folks funding her 2003 Oscar-winning scripted true crime film, Monster.
Theron’s portrayal of Wuornos was something that the film's financiers didn’t agree with. The actress went under a major makeover, which included shaving her eyebrows and gaining 30 pounds, making her unrecognizable. During her interview, the actress recalled receiving a phone call at 3 a.m.
Jenkins’ rebellious attitude has certainly helped further her career but is currently taking the heat from some fans who are upset that the director is seemingly the reason behind the cancelation of Wonder Woman 3. News broke yesterday that the Gal Godot-led production was no longer in motion with many blaming Warner Bros. and the recent DC Studios takeover by James Gunn and Peter Safran.
Bringing it back to Monster, in the end, Theron would end up signing on as a producer alongside Jenkins to hold more sway when it came to how the story was told. The duo laughed all the way to the bank and down the red carpets of the awards circuit as the film, and particularly Theron’s performance would land a slew of award nominations and wins. It would also rake in $64.2 million against its $1.
While some may be mad at Jenkins for no longer being part of the Wonder Woman franchise, no one can argue that she is, in fact, “a f****ing pitbull.” Check out the trailer for Monster below and catch it on Netflix where it’s currently streaming.
