Halle Berry has a new project in the works. The leading lady is set to star in and produce the psychological thriller The Process. The 57-year-old was attached to the movie prior to the Screen Actors Guild-American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (SAG-AFTRA) strike.
Exclusively reported by Deadline on Wednesday morning (Oct. 24), the film is directed by Tara Miele.
Berry is producing with her partner Holly Jeter through their banner HalleHolly with Robert Kravis, and Karl Herrmann is producing through their Pioneer Pictures banner. Julia Sandberg Hansson is also producing.
“We are thrilled to be working with HalleHolly to bring Levin’s amazing screenplay to the screen,” expressed Kravis and Herman in a joint statement.
“Tara’s vision for the film — a Kubrickian psychological thriller taking us down the rabbit hole of self-help cults, and Halle’s interpretation of the film’s lead character, Kirsa — a woman fighting to preserve her marriage and her sanity amid an oppressive cult of personality, will leave audiences breathless.”
The film explores the story of a seemingly happy, 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. 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.
“It’s so rare to find a script like Levin Menekse’s The Process that is gripping, emotionally resonant, and feels essential in this moment. I’m thrilled to get to bring this gem to life and to collaborate with Halle Berry, who brings such raw, real presence to the screen as an actress and is also an incredibly thoughtful collaborator and savvy producer,” added Miele.
