15 February 2010 (irishcentral.com) - Woody Harrelson & Stuart Townsend - Movie News
UK news, and the immediate surrounds, have the best Sunday stories. Gossip Girl Amy Andrews has spotted an interesting story with this duo who worked on Battle in Seattle, "...The Dublin actor has agreed a [sic] part in a new film with Woody Harrelson..." To be produced by the double Oscar winning producer Noel Pearson (For 'My Left Foot' which also received five Academy Award nominations including Best Picture) who is a fellow native of Dublin. The new film is said to be set in South Africa.
And for those that might want to know more about what is currently happening with Stuart Townsend and Charlize Theron, Amy Andrews' article goes on to reveal that that rumoured fateful Mexican Trip "only lasted a day" and left Mr. Townsend with "no real idea why they broke up so suddenly", putting an end to their nine year relationship with the request he move instantly out of the common house. So what was the article she read? I'm guessing it's Barry Egan's where he says of the other business end that the two from Dublin are "currently in talks". There have been
a few photosnaps of Charlize Theron out and about L.A. over the last several days.

31 January 2010 - secret split Charlize Theron - Stuart Townsend? - Home News
Stuart Townsend, won the honour of being the internet's "most googled celebrity" and his stardom soared to new and lofty heights with the advent of the block buster Vampire classic, Queen of the Damned. He brilliantly acted the charismatic Vampire lead, Lestat de Lioncourt whose on screen charms still captivates audiences such that he constantly finds himself dubbed as the most sexiest to have ever donned fangs and cape. Whilst that film was still in the editing room, he met and befriended the beautiful Charlize Theron during the making of Trapped (from Greg Iles's novel, 24 Hours) and the couple have been inseparable since. Not so according to a UK report from their Dailymail.
Todays Dailymail (UK) ran an article showing a picture of Charlize's bare hand. The attached caption reads "Theron's right hand was noticeably ring free as she manned the phones at the 'Hope For Haiti Now' telethon last week." The article talks of the nine-year Charlize Theron / Stuart Townsend romance and how it is considered as one of the most stable unions in show business, and goes on further to state the relationship has come to an end. If anything, we predict many hearts will skip a beat on reading this story. It appears that Charlize Theron has told close friends she decided to split from the Irish actor Stuart Townsend after a Mexican trip at Christmas. And this is why the antique 'commitment ring' that Stuart Townsend gave Charlize Theron (a
symbol of their relationship) is missing from her finger. "...A friend of the actress said last night 'Stuart is gutted but Charlize said that she realised during the Mexican holiday that the relationship was over'..." Read the full article here.
Stuart Townsend and Charlize Theron have appeared together on screen in the following movies. Trapped, Head in the clouds and Aeon Flux.

The story has steadily gained momentum as the apparent [two] sources close to the production (follow Associated Press or Huffington Post) also state [again off the record] that Joshua Dallas is ready to step into the role.
Stuart Townsend is a great actor whom brings an excellent stage 'presence' to the big screen and his legion of fans eagerly await his return to the big screen since his stint on the other side of the camera as director of his action packed milestone movie 'Battle in Seattle' which boasted an array of some very fine Hollywood actors like Charlize Theron, Martin Henderson, Woody Harrelson, Michelle Rodriguez, Ray Liotta, Channing Tatum and Andre Benjamin among others.

"...To be honest the thing that I'm most excited about right now though, is the screen test we just finished for "Thor." We've done some costume tests and watching the Asgardians walk onto the sound stage takes me back to that first time I saw the X-Men on the set all together in Toronto.
