She also received an award for Best Breakthrough Performance at the 1993 MTV Movie and TV Awards. After landing roles a massive projects in the years that followed, Berry finally directed her first hit in 2020.
Halle Berry seems to have only one regret with Bruised
WithBruised(2020) being her first-ever project as a director,Halle Berrywas under a lot of pressure especially since she chose to take up the lead character’s role. The plot of the entire movie was filled with a lot of emotion and drama, possibly making it harder for Berry to balance between acting and directing.
She briefly highlighted a potential return to directing in an interview with Collider. Steve Weintraub ofColliderasked Berry if she would ever make another film to which she said,
Oh, for sure. I won’t star in and direct, but directing for sure.
Interestingly, theCatwomanactress revealed that she’s already working on a movie that’s the complete opposite ofBruised.
Berry didn’t reveal much about the film that she will soon direct. But she only stated that the script is currently being written and that it’s a “love story at its core”.

Channing Tatum has something in common with Halle Berry from his experience as director
Channing Tatumrecently starred as Remy LeBeau (also known as Gambit) in Marvel’s latest movie,Deadpool & Wolverine. The 44-year-oldMagic MikeandStep Upicon also filmed a movie alongside Marvel’s very own Scarlett Johansson calledFly Me to the Moon, which came out a few days beforeDeadpool & Wolverine.
While promoting the romance-comedy film, Tatum was interviewed by Collider with Johansson. Once again, they asked Tatum if he would ever reprise his role as a director on a movie set. He said,
I think I might later in life. I’m not planning to do it right away… My experience, it’s not that it wasn’t a good one. I don’t know if I had a full directing experience. I was in every single frame of the movie. I never got to like even go to the monitor… I don’t know it was all stupid.
Channing Tatum also elaborated on why he never got to properly experience the director’s role stating that switching sides from the front of the camera to behind the monitor would’ve consumed a lot of time off shoot day.
Additionally, he mentioned that it was shortly after the COVID-19 pandemic, meaning there were still restrictions the crew had to abide by. And of course, being an on-screen dog dad was a major priority too.
The movie he directed was calledDog, an action-comedy film. Tatum played the role of an army ranger who brings a military dog to her owner’s funeral.
Based on what Channing Tatum and Halle Berry had to say, actors took note of how hard it was for these Hollywood veterans to pull off being an actor and director on set.
BruisedandDogcan be streamed on Netflix and Amazon Prime, respectively.
