Charlize Theron's Apex Trailer: Thrilling Survival Showdown

0:00On March 25, Netflix just dropped the trailer for its new thriller Apex, starring Charlize Theron and Terran Egerton in a tense survival showdown. Theron plays a woman grieving in the Australian wilderness who ends up battling a dangerous hunter played by the 36-year-old Egerton. The film promises high-stakes action in a classic cat-and-mouth setup, filming to place on location in New South Wales, including the stunning blue mountains near Sydney. The cast, which also includes Eric Banna, worked under Icelandic director Baltazar Kormakur to bring the story to life amid real rugged terrain. Theron pushed her body to new extremes for the role, training with daily climbs and kayaking sessions once she arrived in Australia. She tackled actual mountains barefoot, marking her first real experience with climbing beyond childhood tree scaling in Africa. The project finally let Theron team up with Banna, someone she'd wanted to work with for over 20 years after projects kept falling through. He joined for a key three-week stint and delivers a standout performance.
