Media, Official Images

One of the more anticipated films of 2011 has been Jason Reitman’s Young Adult, directing off a Diablo Cody script. The last time the two collaborated the result was Juno. Now we get the first image from that film of Charlize Theron, juxtaposed against how she normally looks.

Plot Summary: Academy Award® winner Charlize Theron plays Mavis Gary, a writer of teen literature who returns to her small hometown to relive her glory days and attempt to reclaim her happily married high school sweetheart (Patrick Wilson). When returning home proves more difficult than she thought, Mavis forms an unusual bond with a former classmate (Patton Oswalt) who hasn’t quite gotten over high school, either.
