Charlize Theron and Sean Penn could be taking their romance to the next level. No, we're not talking about marriage and kids, we're talking about working together on a movie. The South African actress is said to be in negotiations to star in a movie that's being directed by her new boyfriend, Sean Penn.

The movie is called “The Last Space” and it's about several encounters within refugee camps in Sudan and Liberia. This production is going to be the first time Penn gets behind the camera since his 2007 movie “Into the Wild” that earned him a Golden Globe and an Oscar nominations.

Apart from Theron, the movie is also said to be casting French actress Adele Exarchopoulos, who made her rise to fame with her breakthrough role from “Blue Is the Warmest Color.” Ever since then, she's also become somewhat of a hit with critics.

As for Theron, she's had a sort of hiatus from the big screen, last appearing in 2012's “Prometheus,” but she has several other projects that are due to come out later this year. Among them are Seth MacFarlane's comedy “A Million Ways to Die in the West,” the mystery film “Dark Places” and “Mad Max: Fury Road.”
