Penn is in negotiations to direct The Last Face, about a humanitarian relief worker (Theron) who falls in love with a doctor (Bardem) while working in Africa; Exarchopolous, of Blue Is the Warmest Color fame, would play a (presumably very pouty) journalist. Does the Gigli curse manifest itself when one person is directing and the other is acting? Or are we working with better odds here? Anyway, good luck to handsome couple Sean Penn and Charlize Theron on their many artistic and romantic endeavors!
