Alan Parker is to direct Oscar winner Charlize Theron in the film 'Ice at the Bottom of the World'.
The Hollywood Reporter describes the drama as a "passion project" of Theron's; it is based on a collection of short stories by author Mark Richard.
The film tells the story of a Navy captain who returns home to find that his daughter is a drug addict.
Theron, who pursued Parker to direct the film after studying his work, will also produce the film through her production company, Denver & Delilah Films.
She has owned the rights to the film for more than a decade.
