Several actors often transition from being in front of the camera to sitting on the director’s throne, and this is something the iconic Halle Berry is very familiar with. The 58-year-old made her silver screen debut in a movie called Jungle Fever (1991), directed by the legendary Spike Lee.

She also received an award for Best Breakthrough Performance at the 1993 MTV Movie and TV Awards.

Say what you will about big movies bypassing the theatrical experience, but this week's most-watched Netflix titles make one thing clear: star power still matters, even on streaming. Case in point: "The Union," a new Netflix Original movie starring Halle Berry and Mark Wahlberg that's been climbing the viewership charts since its release last week, according to streaming chart data site FlixPatrol.
Action rom-com "The Union" is currently beating away the rest of the competition on Netflix's top 10 most-watched list, which as of publication time is mostly made up of family films like "The Super Mario Bros. Movie," "Migration," and "Trolls Band Together." Kids who demand a dozen rewatches of their animated favorites clearly have nothing on grown-ups who have been itching to see Berry back in action for the first time in a few years, though.

On Wednesday, Halle Berry turned a year older. Proving she still has it, she flaunted her curves in see-through La Perla lingerie at the premiere of her new movie, The Union. However, the internet seemed split on her dress choice.
While conservatives believe that women should give up wearing skimpy, short dresses, and high heels once they turn 50, others argue that it all depends on the figure and shape of the legs. Liberals, on the other hand, believe that older women should be free to express their individuality and that fashion knows no age restrictions.

At 58, Berry still enjoys flaunting her curves and dressing as she pleases, and I admire her for that. Her confidence is truly inspiring.

Halle Berry is clapping back at critics of Catwoman amid the 20th anniversary of the 2004 film.
During a recent interview on The Tonight Show, the Oscar winner continued to praise the comic book movie despite its negative reviews. The infamous film also won Berry the Razzie for worst actress of the year.
“I loved it,” she told host Jimmy Fallon. “It got panned. The critics said it sucked balls. And balls aren’t that bad.”
Berry continued, “What I’m happy about is that the children have found it now on the Internet, and they love it. So, it’s so vindicating. Because now they’re saying it’s cool and what the heck was everybody’s problem with it, so like, I’m like, ‘I’m so brat now’ (referring to Charli Xcx’s brat summer trend).”

Two decades after starring in the critically-panned superhero film “Catwoman,” actress Halle Berry reflects on the legacy of the 2004 movie. While it received poor reviews upon release and was a box office disappointment, Berry sees the film finding new fans online. She also notes lessons learned that could help if she were to direct a potential new take on the “Catwoman” character.
At the time, most movie critics said “Catwoman” was not very good. It earned an average rating of 8% from reviews collected on the website Rotten Tomatoes. The $100 million production only made $82 million in ticket sales worldwide. Berry won a Razzie award, given to the year’s worst movies and performances, for her role. However, Berry says she enjoyed making the film.

A great many superhero films are getting the opportunity for reassessment in the age of multiversal storytelling. "Deadpool & Wolverine," "The Flash," and even the Arrowverse on The CW have all made use of the notion of a multiverse, something the comics have been doing for decades, to bring back actors from eras long since past for another round in the spotlight. So, might Halle Berry's "Catwoman" also be on deck for a redemption arc? It seems unlikely, to say the least. That said, Berry would be willing to return as the character — under one very strict condition.
Berry recently appeared on "The Tonight Show" to promote her new Netflix movie "The Union." During the conversation, host Jimmy Fallon touched on her infamous flop that was 2004's "Catwoman," which recently celebrated its 20th anniversary.

Halle Berry appeared on “The Tonight Show” and host Jimmy Fallon had her reflect on the 20th anniversary of “Catwoman,” the infamous comic book movie flop that won Berry the Razzie for worst performance of the year.
“I loved it,” Berry said in defiance to the critical reception “Catwoman” got in 2004. “It got panned. The critics said it sucked balls. And balls aren’t that bad.”
“What I’m happy about is that the children have found it now on the internet, and they love it,” Berry added. “So, it’s so vindicating. Because now they’re saying it’s cool and what the heck was everybody’s problem with it.”
When asked if she would ever reprise the role of Catwoman on the big screen, Berry said she would be interested as long as she was directing the movie. The Oscar winner made her feature directorial debut with the Netflix fighter drama “Bruised.

Academy Award-winning actress Halle Berry took on the challenge of a lifetime with her sports film, Bruised. The movie was also her directorial debut, and the actress was deeply passionate about it. Though it received mixed reviews from critics, her filmmaking and acting garnered praise.
But what fans don’t know is that the actress gave her all to realistically portray the role of an athlete. Undergoing practice fight sessions gave her not only the experience of a fighter, but also the physical marks to back it up. The actress suffered multiple injuries to her body but refused to let this halt her passion project.

Halle Berry sustained many injuries while doing her passion project Bruised. But she made it a point not to tell anyone how bad her injuries were.

Bruised was a very important project for Berry. The 2021 sports drama was initially meant for Blake Lively to star in several years ago. But when Berry got a hold of the project, the piece resonated with her in such a way that she insisted to be the film’s star. Additionally, Berry also opted to direct the project when she couldn’t find another filmmaker who was right for the part.
“I didn’t know this is what I wanted to do,” she said in an interview with Goldderby. “I didn’t really set out to direct this. I wanted to be the actor to play this...

“Because I can, goddamn.”
So said Halle Berry last night when asked by The Hollywood Reporter why she selected a sheer, lingerie-style La Perla creation last night for the world premiere of Netflix’s The Union. The Julian Farino-directed action drama casts the 57-year-old Oscar winner as Roxanne, a member of a covert intelligence operation who recruits Mike, a down-to-earth construction worker from New Jersey played by Mark Wahlberg, to join a high-stakes mission. They happen to be high school sweethearts, and that’s another reason Berry braved the red carpet in the daring dress.
“I thought with the theme of this movie being lovers reuniting, it was time to bring this out,” she continued. “This is also where I’m at today.”

From playing a super-powered mutant to an Mma fighter, Halle Berry has had her fair share of on-the-job accidents over the years.
The Academy Award winner recently compared battle scars with her The Union co-star Mark Wahlberg as they discussed their dangerous experiences with stunt performances on their many action movies.
“I’ve been knocked out three times, got an arm broken, broke ribs twice — two ribs one time, three ribs another time — broke a tail bone, broke two toes and a finger. This finger,” said Berry in the Netflix clip with a laugh while holding up her middle finger.
One such injury happened on the set of 2003’s Gothika, when Berry broke a bone in her right forearm, delaying the shoot by several weeks. Three of her broken ribs came from John Wick: Chapter 3 — Parabellum (2019) and the other two came from her 2020 Mma drama Bruised, which also marked her directorial debut.

A Hulu drama series featuring Kim Kardashian has lined up some A-list talent to star opposite the reality TV mogul.
Halle Berry and Glenn Close have joined the cast of All’s Fair, a legal drama from megaproducer Ryan Murphy and 20th Television. The pair will also be executive producers alongside Murphy and Kardashian.
Per usual with Murphy’s shows, details about the roles Berry and Close will play are being kept quiet for now. All’s Fair is described as a glossy and sexy procedural in which Kardashian — who worked with Murphy on the most recent season of American Horror Story — plays a top divorce attorney at an all-woman L.A. law firm.
Murphy, Jon Robin Baitz (Feud: Capote vs. The Swans) and Joe Baken (ABC’s upcoming, Murphy-produced Dr. Odyssey) created the series. They executive produce with stars Kardashian, Close and Berry; writers Jamie Pachino, Laura Greene and Richard Levine; and Kris Jenner,...

As per the synopsis, "as an Evil takes over the world beyond their front doorstep, the only protection for a mother (Halle Berry), and her twin sons is their house and their family’s protective bond. Needing to stay connected at all times – even tethering themselves with ropes – they cling to one another, urging each other to never let go. But when one of the boys questions if the evil is real, the ties that bind them together are severed, triggering a terrifying fight for survival."

Berry started winning accolades early in her career as she won an Emmy for portraying Dorothy Dandridge in the TV film Introducing Dorothy Dandridge.

Mma has been steadily catching up to boxing in terms of combat sport films. While there are plenty of action films that utilize the practice, boxing has been able to capitalize on more character dramas, especially since Rocky hit the scene (no pun intended). While there have been movies like Warrior and Bruised that have showcased mixed martial arts in dramatic films, the popular UFC brand has been geared more towards popcorn movies like Here Comes the Boom and the upcoming Road House remake. The producers of Hereditary are now set to make a UFC-based drama where two Mma fighters, who fight for their own reasons, find themselves on a collision course.
Variety reports that Lupita Nyong’o and Chloe Grace Moretz will star in Strawweight as UFC fighters. The synopsis is said to “follow the journeys of two fighters who find themselves competing against each other in the Octagon. One...

Berry wasn’t initially attached to Bruised as the film’s lead character. She wasn’t even supposed to direct the project. The script for the movie floated her way, and the main character immediately resonated with her. In an interview with Variety, it was noted that Berry pitched her version of the script to producers.

Netflix just unveiled the line-up of films they’ll be releasing in 2024, and missing from that list is the Halle Berry sci-fi movie The Mothership – which, as we reported last week, Netflix has decided not to release at all. At the time, their decision to scrap the movie was reminiscent of Warner Bros. scrapping the films Coyote vs. Acme, Batgirl, and Scoob! Holiday Haunt (as well as a couple other Scooby-Doo projects). But, while at a media event yesterday, Bela Bajaria, who is currently serving as chief of Netflix’s film division, said the producers of The Mothership agreed with Netflix that the movie shouldn’t be released. This is different from what goes on at Warner Bros., where filmmakers are shocked and upset to hear their work is being tossed in the trash.

Back in 2021, a Netflix production called The Mothership was filmed with Halle Berry in the lead role and Bridge of Spies writer Matthew Charman at the helm, making his feature directorial debut. Unfortunately, there have been “multiple delays in post-production” for unspecified reasons… and now Variety has confirmed that Netflix has made the decision to scrap the film instead of completing post-production.
Most people thought it was a questionable move when Warner Bros. decided to scrap the films Coyote vs. Acme, Batgirl, and Scoob! Holiday Haunt for the purpose of tax write-offs, but apparently Netflix thought it was a good idea, since they’ve decided to do the same thing with this project.
If we had the chance to watch The Mothership, we would have found that the story of the sci-fi movie took place one year after the husband of Berry’s character mysteriously vanishes from their rural farm.

Netflix has shelved Halle Berry sci-fi The Mothership, Screen understands.
Production on the film wrapped in 2021 however the streamer elected not to continue after multiple delays in post-production.
The film centres on a mother who uncovers an alien object under her farmhouse which may solve the mystery of her husband’s disappearance a year prior. MRC was producing the film and Matthew Charman was the director.
The Mothership joins a line of Hollywood films which have been axed despite wrapping production. Warner Bros did this with its DC feature Batgirl, as well as animation Scoob! Holiday Haunt, and Coyote vs. Acme.

In a surprising development, Netflix will no longer be releasing Halle Berry’s sci-fi movie The Mothership, The Hollywood Reporter has confirmed.
Berry and the Mothership team already completed much of the filming on the project, but it was in need of extensive reshoots to get it over the finish line. Netflix opted not to move forward with those reshoots and shelved the film instead. The InSneider newsletter first reported the news.
The sci-fi film starred Berry as a woman who discovers an extraterrestrial object under her home one year after the disappearance of her husband. Matthew Charman (Bridge of Spies) wrote and directed The Mothership as his feature directorial debut. The ensemble cast included Molly Parker, John Ortiz and Omari Hardwick.

Netflix has scrapped the release of “The Mothership,” a science-fiction film starring Halle Berry.
The movie finished filming in 2021, but it couldn’t be completed after multiple delays in post-production, Variety has confirmed.
“The Mothership” is the latest Hollywood movie to disappear even though filming had wrapped. Since 2022, Warner Bros. has axed three movies — John Cena’s “Coyote vs. Acme,” the $90 million budgeted DC adventure “Batgirl” and the animated “Scoob! Holiday Haunt” — for the purpose of tax write-offs.
“Bridge of Spies” writer Matthew Charman directed “The Mothership,” which takes place one year after the husband of Berry’s character mysteriously vanishes from their rural farm. Now a single mother, Sara Morse and her children discover an extraterrestrial object underneath their home. It (hopefully) leads them to discover the truth about the patriarch’s disappearance. Molly Parker and Omari Hardwick round out the cast.
Berry will continue to work with Netflix...
The movie finished filming in 2021, but it couldn’t be completed after multiple delays in post-production, Variety has confirmed.
“The Mothership” is the latest Hollywood movie to disappear even though filming had wrapped. Since 2022, Warner Bros. has axed three movies — John Cena’s “Coyote vs. Acme,” the $90 million budgeted DC adventure “Batgirl” and the animated “Scoob! Holiday Haunt” — for the purpose of tax write-offs.
“Bridge of Spies” writer Matthew Charman directed “The Mothership,” which takes place one year after the husband of Berry’s character mysteriously vanishes from their rural farm. Now a single mother, Sara Morse and her children discover an extraterrestrial object underneath their home. It (hopefully) leads them to discover the truth about the patriarch’s disappearance. Molly Parker and Omari Hardwick round out the cast.

Halle Berry is used to the hard work that comes with doing features like Bruised and Monster’s Ball. But she once felt nothing she did on the big screen compared to the grueling conditions she experienced on her television show Extant.

When pressed further she said: “It’s a love story at its core, but it deals with the supernatural and time travel and the future. It’s taken me the last few years to figure this out.”

The flight, she said, led her to figure out what she wants to direct next: “It’s a love story at its core but it deals with the supernatural, time travel and the future.”
This will mark Berry’s sophomore feature after 2020’s Mma drama “Bruised.” When asked about her first directing experience, the actor was frank, labelling the entire process “hell.” “Because I was a woman, and a Black woman, the treatment I received and the things I had to put up with were unconscionable,” she said. “If I were a white man or even a Black man, it would have been easier. It’s amazing I even made it and a miracle Netflix bought it.”

Netflix spent big at this year’s Toronto International Film Festival, picking up Anna Kendrick’s directorial debut “Woman of the Hour” for $11 million and Richard Linklater’s well-reviewed “Hit Man” for $20 million. But other than that and despite an unusually numerous 50 titles for sale, the TIFF market at large was muted.
The lack of activity was in sync with the festival season for 2023 so far, as Sundance and Cannes went off with a smattering of deals compared to years past.
“In this marketplace, the studios and streamers, aside from Netflix, would rather spend big bucks on one or two movies that they are passionate about versus spending a boatload of money to fill a slate or clog up the pipeline with regular content,” a high-level distribution executive told TheWrap who declined to be named.

After almost eight years, Halle Berry has finalized her divorce settlement from ex-Olivier Martinez. The settlement confirmed that Berry and Martinez will share joint legal custody of their son Maceo, 9.
Berry will pay Martinez around a total of $8,000 per month in child support. The cost of their son’s private school tuition, uniforms, school supplies and any extracurricular activities will also be covered by Berry. In addition, for any income that Berry receives above $2 million, Martinez will get an additional support of 4.3%.

Oprah Winfrey was scared of approaching Halle Berry after she won an Oscar for ‘Monster’s Ball’ Oprah Winfrey | Axelle/Bauer-Griffin/FilmMagic
Berry made history when she won an Oscar for Best Lead Actress for her 2001 film Monster’s Ball. Apart from it being her first win, Berry also became the first black woman to win a best actor award at the prestigious ceremony. But Berry asserted that winning the Oscar, although life-changing, initally had little affect on her film career. She was surprised she wasn’t offered other film opportunities afterwards.

You may not know Shamier Anderson’s name yet, but it’s safe to say his career is worth keeping track of.
Anderson stars as Tracker, also known as Nobody, in the just-released critically acclaimed franchise installment “John Wick: Chapter 4.” Tracker is at once an audience insert and a welcome foil to the sleek stylings of John Wick (Keanu Reeves) and High Table boss the Marquis (Bill Skarsgård), but it’s Anderson’s effortless humor, extensive martial arts background, and even collaborations with “John Wick: Parabellum” star Halle Berry that make him the perfect counterpart to Reeves’ emotionally distant lead.
Anderson starred in Berry’s 2020 directorial debut “Bruised,” which “John Wick” director Chad Stahelski executive-produced.
“Chad was instrumental in being a part of that film. We actually had crossed paths on that set, and I did work on that film, not too much of a significant part. It was an...
