Veteran Hollywood actresses Angelina Jolie and Halle Berry are all set to star in an action thriller movie titled ‘Maude V Maude’. Entertainment giant Warner Bros. has recently won a competitive multi-studio bidding war for the film. Jolie and Berry will also back the project as producers besides starring in it. The movie will be directed by New Zealand filmmaker Roseanne Liang (Creamerie).
Although the precise plot details for ‘Maude v Maude’ are being kept under the wraps, the movie is being described as a Bond Vs Bourne global action thriller kind of a film. The description suggests that Angelina Jolie and Halle Berry might be essaying the roles of daredevil spies who end up fighting against each other. Until now, these two popular actresses have not shared screen space for a film despite their prolific filmographies.
Both Angelina Jolie and Halle Berry are not new to the action / thriller / spy films genre. Angelina Jolie has previously starred in multiple action flicks such as ‘Lara Croft: Tomb Raider’, ‘Mr. & Mrs. Smith’, ‘Salt’, ‘Wanted’, and more recently ‘Eternals’. Halle Berry too has had her fair share of action-oriented roles in movies like Marvel’s ‘X-Men’, James Bond film ‘Die Another Day’, ‘Kingsman: The Golden Circle’ and more recently the sports film ‘Bruised’.
Interestingly, both Angelina Jolie and Halle Berry have bagged one Oscar each for their performances in ‘Girl, Interrupted’ and ‘Monster’s Ball’, respectively. Angelina Jolie has recently directed the war drama movie ‘Without Blood’ starring Demian Bichir and Salma Hayek and she will be seen in Pablo Larrain’s biopic film ‘Maria’ based on opera singer Maria Callas. And Halle Berry’s upcoming acting projects include the sci-fi adventure film ‘The Mothership’ and the action thriller flick ‘One Man from Jersey’.
