 Theron plays Libby who, 25 years after her mother, played by
"Mad Men" actress Christina Hendricks, and sisters were brutally
killed, confronts the tragic events of that night, investigating
whether her jailed brother Ben, portrayed by Corey Stoll, was
indeed responsible.
The film also stars "X-Men" actor Nicholas Hoult and "Kick-Ass"
actress Chloe Grace Moretz.
"It is a huge ensemble cast and everybody has really fleshed out
bony characters," Theron said at the film's Los Angeles premiere
on Tuesday night.
"The story is only as good as them and they get to tell it. I
think that's what made it something really appealing to me, the
idea of going to work with all these characters and telling this
story."
Theron, last seen in cinemas in "Mad Max: Fury Road", is also a
producer of the film directed by Gilles Paquet-Brenner.
"I love the movie making process so whether I'm producing or
not, I'm always on set. I don't like being in a trailer (or) ...
isolated in a little room," she said of her producing role.

"I'm fascinated by camera equipment and the crew that makes it
happen."
The movie follows the 2014 film adaptation of Flynn's best-selling
novel "Gone Girl", which starred Ben Affleck and Rosamund Pike.
"Dark Places" hits U.S. cinemas on Aug. 7.
