In less than a month, Halle Berry has been making a splash around the entertainment world with her name being attached to three films and a Broadway play.
Most recently, the Academy Award winner was seen on the Cape Town, South Africa set of her latest film, 'Dark Tide,' where she plays Sara, a modern-day adventurer, deeply drawn to close encounters with the magnificent White Sharks who rule the primal predator shore of isolated Guadalupe Island.
When her husband chooses ambition over his wife's safety in a split-second encounter with the jaws of death, her marriage nearly breaks apart. A year later, a monsoon season voyage back to the same island becomes an escalating series of terrifying underwater confrontations and gut-wrenching emotional challenges. Testing her courage in the face of nature's ultimate terror, she shows herself as tough as the men she is attracted to - and perhaps the bravest of all. Sara endures and changes the terms of the contest with mankind's most feared underwater predator.
Once filming is over, she will start work on two more film. 'Shoe Addicts Anonymous' is an ensemble film that will follow the lives of four Chicago women from different ethnic backgrounds with two common bonds: They are shoe addicts and they wear the same sizes. They form a support group, swap heels and become sole sisters as their bond goes beyond footwear.
The Playlist.com is reporting that Berry has also been offered a role in Tom Tykwer's latest film, 'Cloud Atlas,' alongside Tom Hanks, James McAvoy, Natalie Portman, and Ian McKellen.
Based on the novel of the same name by David Mitchell, the story centers around six characters: a reluctant voyager crossing the Pacific in 1850; a disinherited composer blagging a precarious livelihood in between-the-wars Belgium; a high-minded journalist in Governor Reagan's California; a vanity publisher fleeing his gangland creditors; a genetically modified "dinery server" on death-row; and Zachry, a young Pacific Islander witnessing the nightfall of science and civilization - the narrators of Cloud Atlas hear each other's echoes down the corridor of history, and their destinies are changed in ways great and small.
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.
