Theron Is Worth A "Million" To MacFarlane

Charlize Theron is in talks to join future Oscar host Seth MacFarlane's "Blazing Saddles"-style western comedy A Million Ways to Die in the West says Heat Vision.

MacFarlane will direct and star in the film from a script he and his "Ted" collaborators Alec Sulkin and Wellesley Wild wrote,

Using MacFarlane’s signature adult humor, the script deals with just how dangerous and painful life really was in the late 1800s. The story follows a farmer (MacFarlane) who wimps out of a gunfight, causing his girlfriend to leave him. He enlists the help of an outlaw's wife (presumably played by Theron) to help him shoot, only to find himself falling for her.

"Ted" producer Scott Stuber is set to reteam for the film

Production takes place this Summer
