Theron & Lee Jones In 'Crash' Followup Talks

The Valley Of Elah

Charlize Theron and Tommy Lee Jones are in talks to take starring roles in director Paul Haggis' follow-up to his Academy Award-winning hit 'Crash', says the Hollywood Reporter.

The story follows a veteran father in search of his son, an exemplary soldier who recently returned from Iraq and has mysteriously gone AWOL.

The story is based on an investigative article by Mark Boal in Playboy titled "Death and Dishonor," which told the true story about an officer-father who rejected the Army's claim of AWOL status for his son and discovered a murder.
