Oscar-winner Halle Berry is set to star in the psychological thriller "The Process". Berry will also produce alongside her producing partner Holly Jeter through their banner HalleHolly with Robert Kravis and Karl Herrmann producing through their Pioneer Pictures banner. Julia Sandberg Hansson is also producing.
FilmNation Entertainment will launch international sales for the pic at AFM with Verve Ventures and WME Independent co-repping North American rights.
Berry had been attached to star in the movie prior to the SAG-AFTRA strike.
"The Process" follows a seemingly happily married couple, who attend the weekend seminar of Aiden, a renowned self-help guru, and are asked to examine their individual lives, careers, and ultimately their marriage, but when Kirsa resists Aiden’s “process” and his cult of committed volunteers, and Peter buys in, their relationship and sanity are quickly put to the test.
Tara Miele is directing from a script penned by Levin Menekse, who originally shared it on the Black List.
Berry will also soon be seen starring in Netflix’s "The Union" opposite Mark Wahlberg.
Most recently, Berry was seen starring in her directorial debut, "Bruised", on Netflix. The movie went on to premiere at number #1 globally in its first week on the streaming service. The plot follows a disgraced MMA fighter who must fight a rising MMA star while journeying to become the mother her child deserves.
In January 2022, Berry and Jeter joined forces with plans to produce an array of projects from hard-hitting dramas to light-hearted comedies, action, horror, and more with a focus on elevating complex, strong, women and women of color in leading roles both in front of and behind the camera.
