Charlize Theron has lured Oscar-nominated British director Alan Parker from a five-year hiatus to helm her passion project ICE AT THE BOTTOM OF THE WORLD, says The Hollywood Reporter.

Theron is set to star in and produce the ensemble family drama about a Navy captain who returns home to the Chesapeake Bay to find his daughter a heroin addict and the single mother of a multi-racial child.

The estimated $20 million indie is being produced through Bob Berney's Picturehouse, Theron's production company Denver & Delilah Films and Parker's Dirty Hands.

New Line International is on board to handle worldwide distribution and marketing.
