CHARLIZE EYES LESBIAN REBOOT

CHARLIZE Theron would love to make a lesbian Die Hard reboot. The 45-yearold actress recently responded to a fan on Twitter pitching her for a gender swopped remake of the 1988 Bruce Willis blockbuster which would see the lead character “on a rampage to save her wife”, and now she’s confirmed she’d definitely be interested.

She told Vanity Fair: “Yeah, I mean, it’s a great idea. That’s why I replied on Twitter. Because I just thought that was kind of brilliant. I was like, ‘This person needs to start pitching. That’s a great idea’. And the fact that it would be two women, I was like, ‘Yeah, sign me on’.”

Theron was recently announced for The School for Good and Evil. She and Kerry Washington are both set for the Paul Feig-helmed Netflix movie, based on Soman Chainani’s best-selling novel.

He said on Twitter: “Know what school I’m applying to! So thrilled to welcome Charlize Theron and Kerry Washington to the School for Good and Evil!”
