Charlize Theron is set to produce and star in Summit Entertainment’s remake of the Dutch ghost-thriller Zwart Water (known internationally as Two Eyes Staring). According to Heat Vision, Exorcism of Emily Rose director Scott Derrickson will helm the project from a script by Rose co-writer Paul Harris Boardman.

Zwart Water centers on a nine-year-old girl who befriends the malevolent spirit of her slightly deranged mother’s dead twin. Theron will play the girl’s mother and produce under her Denver and Delilah Films shingle.

The Academy award-winning starlet will next be seen in the hilariously twisted Diablo Cody (Jennifer’s Body) penned comedy Young Adult, Ridley Scott’s epic Alien counterpart Prometheus and Universal Pictures’ dark re-imagining of Snow White and the Huntsman.
