Relationships are a tricky part of life especially when you’re a celebrity. For Berry, she had expectations that it only takes one marriage to give her a fairytale ending. Obviously, this never was the case for her.

Halle Berry Raves About Finding New Love After 3 Failed Marriages

In 1996, Halle Berry married baseball superstar David Justice but their relationship was short-lived after it ended in divorce the following year. She found love again in singer Eric Benet whom she tied the knot with in 2001, but it also left her brokenhearted after separating in 2005. Still, she did not...

The director of the four main John Wick movies has revealed which of them is his favorite. The franchise kicked off in 2014 with the action movie of the same name. Although the Keanu Reeves-led release hinted at a broader universe with an interconnected network of assassins and constantly shifting alliances, it largely spun a pulse-pounding gun fu adventure from one simple premise: the titular former assassin is seeking revenge for the murder of his dog - a present from his late wife - and the theft of his car.

It was a critical and commercial success, earning a Certified Fresh 86% Rotten Tomatoes score and grossing $86 million against its roughly $25 million budget, and the John Wick franchise has expanded considerably since it debuted. In addition to earning three sequels exploring the continued adventures of the character, it has already spawned a prequel miniseries titled The Continental: From the World of John Wick...

American Animals director Bart Layton is assembling a new Hollywood dream team as Halle Berry joins Chris Hemsworth for the filmmaker’s upcoming thriller Crime 101. Berry, also known as the Master of Dog Fu (watch John Wick 3 – Parabellum), is fresh off her buddy comedy with Mark Wahlberg, The Union, while her latest horror film, Never Let Go, is lighting up silver screens this month. The Amazon MGM Studios project takes inspiration from Don Winslow‘s short story Crime 101, with Layton planning to release the film in theaters next year.

While plot details remain mysterious, Deadline says Crime 101 contains Heat-like elements. According to the synopsis for Winslow’s novella, the story focuses on a string of high-level jewel heists up and down the Pacific Coast Highway. The crimes have gone unsolved for years, mainly because the perpetrator has lived by a strict code he calls “Crime 101”. Police...

Though she's regarded as a Hollywood legend and one of the film industry's most notable actors, Halle Berry admits she still finds opportunities "limited" despite her status. The Academy Award winner suggests her status as a Black woman in Hollywood doesn't afford her time to wait for potential Oscar-worthy roles, leading her to take anything she can get.

Speaking with The Hollywood Reporter, Berry claimed being a Black woman has reduced her options given how marginalized she and other actors have been throughout the industry, making her more proactive in choosing roles within different genres rather than waiting for major ones. Well, here's the truth of it. As a Black woman, I have never had the luxury of just doing Oscar-worthy performances and movies. I dont even know what that is. My options at times are so limited, and thats the reality of it, she said.

My options at times are so limited,...

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.

But it wasn’t until the following year that Berry ended up finding herself in the limelight. She acted in a film starring Eddie Murphy called, Boomerang. She also received an award for Best Breakthrough Performance at the 1993 MTV Movie and TV Awards. After landing roles a massive projects in the years that followed, Berry finally directed her first hit in 2020.

Despite previously expressing openness to returning as Storm and Patience Phillips, X-Men franchise star and Catwoman actor Halle Berry offers a disappointing update to her potentially reprising her superhero roles. The Hollywood icon insists she wants to "stay in the present" as she claims it's not easy to go back to playing past characters.

Speaking with Comicbook.com, Berry was asked which of her favorite past roles she could see herself returning to down the line. However, Berry cast doubt on reprising any roles, including her superhero characters, focusing on her latest lead role in the upcoming survival horror flick, Never Let Go. "I stay in the present, you know, some of those things have, you know, gone by, and I don't know if you can go back to things like that. So I'm kind of in the present. I hope this does well enough that we get to all revisit this in some way,...

Halle Berry is back in the spotlight with yet another role that strips her (a bit) of her timeless beauty for the sake of yet another vulnerable, emotionally raw portrayal following Bruised, her directorial debut for Netflix. Our recent in-person interview with the Academy Award winner confirms our suspicions that she, indeed, does not age. Must be nice. And on that note, it's hard to believe she is still the only Black woman to win a Best Actress Oscar, and her latest outing for Never Let Go certainly reminds us of her on-screen talents that earned her said trophy.

Regarding the film's title no, this isn't a nod to Kate Winslet's iconic line from Titanic, but rather an important rule the new film's perpetually distressed mother (Berry) orders her two young sons to obey each and every day as they carry out their dangerous existence in the wilderness. No spoilers,...

Halle Berry remains a trailblazer in Hollywood thanks to her groundbreaking Best Actress Academy Award win in 2002. However, well over two decades later, Berry can't believe she's still the only Black woman to ever walk away with the prestigious honor.

Speaking with Marie Claire, Berry admitted she's "saddened" she remains the only Black woman to take home the Best Actress Oscar, winning the award for her performance in Monster's Ball. The Hollywood legend believes there were rightful winners since her historic triumph, including Andra Day's showing in The United States vs. Billie Holiday and Viola Davis in Ma Rainey's Black Bottom. However, Berry is "eternally miffed" that she's the lone actor to achieve the feat. I'm still eternally miffed that no Black woman has come behind me for that best actress Oscar, I'm continually saddened by that year after year. And it's certainly not because there has been nobody deserving,...

X-Men: The Last Stand boasts an ensemble cast, comprising numerous stars who have continued to work prolifically in the entertainment industry. X-Men: The Last Stand, released in 2006, was the third installment of the original X-Men trilogy depicting Marvels famed mutant heroes. With the return of familiar faces and the introduction of new ones, X-Men: The Last Stand was a pivotal moment in the X-Men timeline. Almost two decades later, the cast members have continued their careers in various directions, from Broadway and television to major film roles and even directing.

Directed by Brett Ratner, X-Men: The Last Stand centers around the discovery of a cure for mutations, leading to a confrontation between the X-Men and Magnetos Brotherhood. Complicating this, Jean Grey has returned from the grave as the malevolent Dark Phoenix. Though often criticized for mishandling its adaption of the Phoenix Saga, X-Men: The Last Stand had some good points,...

Despite featuring a star-studded duo in Halle Berry and Mark Wahlberg, The Union continues to divide critics and audiences. The new Netflix spy film's negative reaction unfortunately prompted a new low mark for Wahlberg's career.

Via Rotten Tomatoes, The Union boasts rotten critic and audience scores less than a week after its Netflix debut. The film currently has a 36% critical rating and 26% audience score on the popular review aggregator platform, making it one of the worst-rated movies on Berry and Wahlberg's extensive CVs. For Wahlberg, The Union's audience score is the second-lowest ever for a movie featuring the veteran actor, with 2008's The Happening (24%) being the lowest of the bunch. The critics' score also ranks among the bottom 10 all-time for Wahlberg movies.

Anya Taylor-Joy is heading back to the small screen as a creatively homicidal character in a new Netflix series.

If you combine stars of Mark Wahlberg and Halle Berry's caliber and put them in a high-profile Netflix release, it's bound to be successful on the streamer, and that point has been proven with the release of the action thrillerThe Union. All the ingredients were in place for this film to hit on the platform, so it's not exactly surprising that it shot its way to the top of Netflix's Top Ten Films.

Per Netflix's Global Top Ten Chart, The Union is currently at number one with over 33 million views tallied. In addition to this, 60.1 million hours of the film have been viewed, and it has ranked in the Top 10 in 93 countries on Netflix, including number-one showings in Brazil, Argentina, Canada, Bolivia, and many more. The movie comes out ahead of other established fan-favorites on the chart, including Kingsman: The Secret Service, Kingsman: The Golden Circle, and The Emoji Movie.

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.

Berry's only appeared in two other films since 2019's "John Wick: Chapter 3,...

Halle Berry and Mark Wahlberg's newly-released spy action comedy thriller, The Union, continues to divide critics days after its release. Despite the mixed reviews, the film finds instant success on Netflix as audiences tune in to see its acclaimed lead stars.

Per Collider, The Union is at the top of Netflix's Top 10 movie chart following its Aug. 16 premiere. The espionage film outdueled two Kingsman films and the animated movie, Ferdinand, to take the top spot on the streamer.

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.

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).”

Fallon proceeded to dub the actress “Bratwoman,” before asking her if she...

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.

Today, Berry thinks younger audiences seeing “Catwoman” without knowledge of the past criticism are able to form their own opinions. They find and watch it online without...

Halle Berry wouldn't mind returning to play an iconic comic book character once again. Just not the one you're thinking of. During a recent appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, Berry discussed her recent birthday, carrying the torch at the Paris Olympics, and celebrating the 20th anniversary of her DC Comics film Catwoman. DC fans may have tried to erase that film from their collective memory, but Berry hasn't, and insists she would be willing to reprise the role, under one condition.

Catwoman PG-13ActionCrimeFantasy

Catwoman is the story of shy, sensitive artist Patience Philips (Halle Berry), a woman who can't seem to stop apologizing for her own existence. She works as a graphic designer for Hedare Beauty, a mammoth cosmetics company on the verge of releasing a revolutionary anti-aging product. When Patience inadvertently happens upon a dark secret her employer is hiding, she finds herself in the middle of a corporate conspiracy.

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. When asked if Berry would consider reprising the role again, the Oscar-winner replied with, "Maybe,...

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.

Catwoman star Halle Berry remains eager to see her titular hero get another chance on the big screen following the film of the same name's box-office bomb. The acting legend claims she'd agree to return as Patience Phillips on one condition.

During an interview on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, Berry was asked about Catwoman and what it would take to play the character again after two decades. According to Berry, she'd jump at the opportunity to be Catwoman on-screen again if she could be behind the camera. "Maybe, if I could direct it," she said. Berry has directorial experience, having helmed the 2020 Netflix sports 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.

“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.”

Berry, styled by Lindsay Flores, poses in La Perla outside Hollywood’s Egyptian Theatre.

Another place Berry finds herself with The Union is starring opposite Wahlberg...

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.

Halle Berry hopes to break her bad spy movie streak with Netflix's The Union, starring Mark Wahlberg in an action thriller.

Halle Berry has the chance to redeem her poor film streak in one genre she can't seem to get the better of with an upcoming Netflix movie set to release this summer. For the past decade, Berry's general film catalog has struggled with mixed or average receptions, filled with movie roles in lackluster titles, including Roland Emmerich's disappointing sci-fi Moonfall, the melodramatic sports drama Bruised, and 2017's love-it-or-hate-it crime thriller, Kidnap.

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).

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.

If we had the chance to watch The Mothership, we would have found that the story...

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.

That move recalls Warner Bros. Discovery’s 2022 decision to ax Batgirl, the DC film that already completed shooting and was expected to arrive on HBO Max. The company...

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...

Family, friends and former co-stars of Adan Canto took to social media on Tuesday to remember the actor following news that The Cleaning Lady and Designated Survivor star died of cancer at age 42.

“Forever my treasure Adan, see you soon,” Stephanie Canto, Adan’s wife, wrote on Instagram. She paired the message with a passage from Matthew 6:19-21 and a photo of the couple together.

Canto died Tuesday of appendiceal cancer, his rep told The Hollywood Reporter. His diagnosis had not been made public.

“Adan had a depth of spirit that few truly knew. Those who glimpsed it were changed forever,” read a statement. “He will be greatly missed by so many.”

Along with his wife, he is survived by their two children, Roman Alder, 3, and Eve Josephine, 1.

Canto was known by many as Aaron Shore on Netflix’s Designated Survivor, the White House Chief of Staff-turned-Vice President to Kiefer Sutherland’s Tom Kirkman.

Adan Canto, who can be remembered by Marvel fans for his role as Sunspot in X-Men: Days of Future Past, has died.

Per Deadline, Canto passed away on Jan. 8 following a private battle with appendiceal cancer. His passing was confirmed by his reps, who noted in a statement, “Adan had a depth of spirit that few truly knew. Those who glimpsed it were changed forever. He will be greatly missed by so many.” The Mexican-American actor was just 42 years old.

Oscar-winning actress Halle Berry “bonded” with co-star Angelina Jolie over their “divorces and exes”. Berry will star alongside Jolie in her new film project ‘Maude v Maude’, and she has said that they actually spent some time together discussing their love lives.

The 57-year-old actress, who was previously married to David Justice, Eric Benet and Olivier Martinez, told Variety: “We’ve been talking a lot about divorces and exes. We bonded, let’s say that.”

Despite this, Berry acknowledged that their friendship actually got off to a “rocky start”.

Speaking in her masterclass at Red Sea International Film Festival, Oscar-winning actress Halle Berry said that launching her own production company is finally empowering her to make the stories she has always wanted to produce and direct – including a project that she identified on the plane on the way to Jeddah.

“Finally on the plane coming here I saw a story, I saw what’s in my heart, and realised what I wanted to share,” said Berry, who recently launched production company HalleHolly with former WME partner Holly Jeter.

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.”

Berry said having her own banner – which she has previously said will make content with strong, multicultural, female protagonists – is finally giving her the...

Oscar-winning actor Halle Berry had a strike of inspiration on the flight to Saudi Arabia, where she gave a career-spanning conversation at the third edition of the Red Sea Film Festival. 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.”

Some actors, like Jon Favreau and George Clooney, have successfully transitioned into directing, earning respect from both audiences and fellow directors. While some actors-turned-directors, such as Drew Barrymore and Chris Evans, have received critical praise for their directorial debuts, they have not pursued directing as a full-time career. Halle Berry and Natalie Portman have also tried their hand at directing, with mixed reception for their debut films, but there is still potential for them to continue their directing careers in the future.

Many actors have made the jump to behind the cameras and added the title of directors to their careers, and some great movies from the past 20 years were actually directed by actors. It’s not uncommon for actors to give directing a try at some point in their careers, and many end up making a whole career shift or splitting their time between being in front of the camera and behind it.
