And clearly that must&#8217;ve been the case for star Charlize Theron and director Baltasar Korm\u00e1kur as they set about making this year&#8217;s cat-and-mouse Netflix streaming sensation <em>Apex<\/em> out in the Australian Outback, as the duo have already set their next project together. Per <em>Deadline<\/em>&#8216;s reporting, Korm\u00e1kur is set to produce and direct an adaptation of Stan Parish&#8217;s unpublished novel <em>Six Clean Kills<\/em> at Universal, with Theron aboard to produce and prospectively star.<\/p>\n<p><\/span><span class=\"content_content__i0P3p\" data-test=\"content\"><\/p>\n<p>According to <em>Deadline<\/em>, Theron had actually been circling <em>Six Clean Kills<\/em> for some time before today&#8217;s announcement, and having enjoyed the adrenalised experience of working with Korm\u00e1kur on <em>Apex<\/em>, this project has provided the perfect opportunity to work together again as soon as possible. Admittedly, we don&#8217;t actually know what the source material for <em>Six Clean Kills<\/em> is about just yet, but it wouldn&#8217;t feel like too far of a stretch to suggest the talent involved and the nature of the title suggest this probably <em>isn&#8217;t<\/em> likely to be a rom-com or a nature documentary. What&#8217;s more, not only are Korm\u00e1kur and Theron best known for cerebral films often set within action-thriller territory, but Parish&#8217;s last novel, <em>Love And Theft<\/em>, was itself a full-on international heist thriller.<\/p>\n<p><\/span><span class=\"content_content__i0P3p\" data-test=\"content\"><\/p>\n<p>Now, it&#8217;s worth noting that we&#8217;re not likely to see <em>Six Clean Kills<\/em> hitting cinema screens anytime soon \u2014 Theron is currently shooting Amazon &#8216;culinary thriller&#8217; <em>Tyrant<\/em> with Julia Garner and Demi Moore, while Korm\u00e1kur is in production on true story inspired Netflix joint <em>The Big Fix<\/em> with Mark Wahlberg and Riz Ahmed. That being said, after the throwback action movie thrills of <em>Apex<\/em> (seriously, it&#8217;s one of the best Netflix movies we&#8217;ve had in a good while), we&#8217;re sure that <em>Six Clean Kills<\/em> will be <em>*ahem*<\/em> <em>summit<\/em> worth waiting for.<\/p>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Actors and filmmakers often talk about making movies as bonding experiences for the cast and crew alike.
