Default Halle Berry to Direct, Star in MMA-Themed Movie

She's 52 years old but lately has been getting in super shape with mma type training.



Oscar Winner Halle Berry to Direct, Star in MMA-Themed Movie Entitled 'Bruised'
By Tristen Critchfield Sep 11, 2018

Oscar-winning actress Halle Berry will direct and star in a mixed martial arts themed film set to begin production next year, according to Deadline.

Entitled “Bruised,” the plot of the film centers on disgraced MMA fighter Jackie Justice, who is played by Berry. “When 6-year-old Manny, the son she walked out on years ago, returns to her doorstep, Jackie has to conquer her own demons, face one of the fiercest rising stars of the MMA world, and ultimately fight to become the mother this kid deserves,” according the Deadline report.

The movie marks Berry’s directorial debut and will include the team that does the fight choreography for the John Wick films. Production for the film is expected to begin in March.

“Bruised” will be produced by Basil Iwanyk (of John Wick fame), along with Entertainment 360 and Linda Gottlieb. Berry, who won an Oscar for best actress in “Monster’s Ball,” is repped by WME, the company that bought the UFC in 2016.

The females that I most want to see fighting are between the ages of 18 and 35 years old. Jennifer Garner starred in Alias, where she had fight scenes, and now, many years later, she is starring in Peppermint. In the same way the very beautiful Halle Berry will star in a movie with fight scenes, but I would have wanted her to make this movie when she was in her twenties.

Lots of 40+ yr olds star in combat sports movies. 50 is really pushing it.

That is good for those actresses, but it is good for us? Is it something you would want to watch? I prefer action actresses in or near their twenties.

Yes. 20 something hollywood action actresses of the current time bore me, especially at my age. They just don't have the maturity experience, class, and believable demeanor that I prefer.

Interesting. She's 52 (53 this year) but could pass for 40 and with the right make-up, lighting and angles, could probably still get away with playing a woman in her mid or late 30s.

From the description, it seems she'll be playing the central, actively fighting character. Not some long-time retired fighter that takes an up and comer under her wing.

UFC's Bryan Ortega has been involved in Halle's training too.
