Just when you thought she would be out of the acting field for some time due to the recent birth of her first child, Halle Berry is ready to start working again.
'Variety' is reporting that the Academy Award winner will star in and produce the psychological drama 'Frankie and Alice' for indie studio Access Motion Pictures in association with Reality Pictures in Motion.
Story follows a young woman struggling with multiple personality disorder and torn between who she is and a racist Caucasian alter-personality that preys upon her mind.
No production start date has been set.
'Frankie and Alice' is the second independent production for Toronto-based Access Motion Pictures, which recently completed "Phantom Punch," a Sonny Liston biopic starring Ving Rhames and directed by Robert Townsend.

Kudos to Halle for bouncing back -- hope the film does great -- one question though -- why isn't Aubry marrying her? What's the problem? That doesn't seem like a good thing for the child -- how do you explain away immorality (parents just choosing to have a bastard child?) that's a strange move for the otherwise classy Berry -- hmmm.

Ok, after Jeremiah wright she comes up with this. I think that though I am not a black woman. And, Though I may not have strong feelings for blacks. I think this movie is dangerous and unrealistic. She is using black woman as a scapegoat for other sick reasons ans motives. Whose going to do a movie about all the hate out there coming from most people in the world that is not black women. Black women have no power in this world. She should not scapegoate black women in order to finally get a possible hit. She is not very talented and I have defended her in the past. But, I am going to be honest to say she is not much of an actress. She is a well paid model that can remeber her lines. Catwoman pained me to watch and everything she has done sense! I have given her way too much pity because she was of african american percentage and a woman. Knowing how hard it was for her considering her pigmentation. I realize after talking to a Frankie. Alice darn sure isnt the only that think she sucks. I use to think when white people told me she was horrible it was because she was of her background/pigmentation. Being honest she is talentless and stupid.

I am just as sick of her surgically enhanced nose, weave as I am with this movie. How tacky! Is this movie about herself! How soon does the black kettle forget that she was talking about jews. Whining like a pathetic psycho. And, her first big mouth concern wasnt about her hateful comments but that her career maybe over. LOL

I guess this kind of behavior is to be expected from Halle Berry. I rather watch her boyfriend in the MAcy's commerical gloat. Than, see her try to make a fool of others. But, in the end, she is just making a fool of her stupid self. Her celebrity long ago went to her head. But, I notice since Halle has been dating this recent man she is even more of a gutter female dog!
No wonder why she has such bad luck with men. And, is supposed to be a celebrity. I think it maybe true that she has issues. And, one of them is that she needs to stay of the internet. For instance, supporting stupidity and being apart of it. It was not cute her jewish comments. Luckily, many white women came to her defense and people have this believed image of her being a nice person. I come to note lately her and oprah have let their status go to their pew brain heads. Rag magazines have the right to talk about her because she is becoming good at talking down or making poor light of people! That poor man is probably sick of her like the rest. But, she pays well. The baby will probably make him lift his head up in the coming months when out with her. And, the attention and money has got to help.

No wonder why I have seen some of her co-stars over the years act like they cant stand her! When they have been out with her at movie engagements. She was jealous of one of her beautiful latina co-stars. She seems really petty and doggish. And, now, because she is 40 and with a boyfriend that can finally stand her. With obivous, good reason to do so. LOL She is showing her real self.

i regrettalbly thought that the many white people who would tell me how much they loathe her or thought she overacted and was no good. I thought maybe it was because of her pigmentation or background. IT is simply because she is not a good actress. And, I learned this. When, I pay attention to her lack there of. She should not attempt to carry a movie by herself.

I don't have STRONG FEELINGS FOR A IGNORANT "RACIST" PERSON LIKE YOU! HOW DARE YOU SAY, THAT "BLACK WOMEN HAVE NO POWER IN THIS WORLD"? THE ONLY ONE THAT HAS POWER IS "GOD"! "BOO, BOO," YOU BETER CHECK YOUR IGNORANT RACIST SELF! I AM AFRO-AMERICAN, BEUATIFUL, INTELLIGENT, AND PROUD! YOU ARE SPEAKING OF "HATE", WE DON'T NEED PEOPLE IN THE WORLD LIKE YOUR KIND!
HALLE CAN PLAY ANY PART THAT SHE WANTS TO! SHE IS PAID AND DON'T GIVE A DAMN FOR PEOPLE LIKE "YOU" TO BRING HER DOWN! YOU REALLY HAVE YOUR NERVE TO BE ON "BV BLOGS"! NOBODY UP ON HERE IS FEELIN YOUR STUPID, IGNORANT RACIST REMARKDS! WANT YOU DO US ALL A FAVOR AND GO AWAY! IT SEEMS YOU ARE GOING DOWN THE WRONG PATH! I FEEL SORRY FOR PEOPLE LIKE YOU WHO THINK THEY CAN DEGRADE BLACK WOMEN. YOU HAVE NO CLASS!

If it hadnt been for black woman supportingher, black men buidling her up as a sex symbol. She would not have been where she is. To be able to get where she is.Luckily, it helped when a few people came to her defense and jews did not take her seriously because they figure her nice and black. Some blacks and some white woman came to her defense when people of all walks of life got her arrogant case. Because of having black kids or being black. lol She has ruined a movied I liked in the past due to be demanding to people on the set. Whining she does not get paid enough. Woman, when you yourself can tolerate your own damn movies. She whines too much. THen yeah, she uses her race as a convience. When she made the jew comments it helped her being considered nice. Even, though, that act is fleeing and she is starting to show her true self. No wonder why all her boyfriends and previous relationships were like they were. She seems to have serious issues. But she lets who she is goes to her big knot of a head. I cant stand her now. And, I hated ever defending her. She is what she is a bad actress. But, given the role of token black woman actress.
