Halle Berry is throwing her hat into the Oscar race, and vying for a second award, as her film 'Frankie & Alice,' which was shot over a year ago, will finally be released on December 17 in New York and Los Angeles before its regular theatrical release set for February 4 in the top 20 markets.
Freestyle Releasing will handle distribution with marketing reportedly provided by private funding the producers raised. Ms. Berry is one of the producers of the independent film, reports Deadline.com .
Directed by Geoffrey Sax, and set during the 1970s, this psychological drama is a true story in which Berry plays a young multiracial American woman with dissociative identity disorder who struggles to retain her true self and not give in to her racist alter-personality.
Also starring in the film are Stellan Skarsgård, Matt Frewer, Phylicia Rashad, and Chandra Wilson.
Berry won the Academy Award in 2002 for Best Actress for her performance in the Lee Daniels produced film, 'Monster's Ball.'
Berry has been working a lot recently, as she's currently filming 'Dark Tide' with Olivier Martinez. The Ohio native is set to star in the film 'Shoe Addicts Anonymous,' about four different women with nothing in common but their love for shoes and their 7.5 shoe size. In between films, Berry is slated to star on Broadway in Katori Hall's 'The Mountaintop,' where she will portray a hotel maid who delivers a meal to Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. on the evening before his assassination.
