Halle Berry’s 2025 film schedule isn’t stocked with supposed cameos for upcoming Marvel motion pictures and TV exhibits, however she has a venture that I’ve truly been ready to listen to about for a while. Hooked up to an adaptation of Don Winslow’s Crime 101, that title has sat moderately cryptically on the X-Males film vet’s resume. What’s even higher is that whereas Ms. Berry gained’t be returning for Avengers: Doomsday, she’s going to have some Avengers to cope with on this upcoming image.
Throughout Black Lady Nerds’ interview after Amazon-MGM Studios’ 2025 CinemaCon Panel, the OG Storm actor talked about how this new venture is a theatrical must-see. And seeing because the solid contains Thor: Ragnarok bros Chris Hemsworth and Mark Ruffalo within the proverbial deck, this can be a hand that sounds effectively value taking part in.
That is particularly the case when Halle Berry has the Extraction star taking part in her jewel thief accomplice, and our current Mickey 17 heavy as a detective investigating all of it. Let’s have a look at, Mark Ruffalo investigating circumstances of thievery which might be carried off by a ridiculously engaging and succesful crew, with tons of cash on the road.
Why does this sound so acquainted and welcoming? I’m positive it’ll come to me later, however for now, what I can say is that the veteran Bond Girl from Die One other Day will likely be taking part in a personality who’s been handed over for a management place as a result of her age.
Seeing as the corporate she works for gives, in her characters phrases (through THR) “insurance coverage insurance policies for individuals who have more cash than they know what to do with,” Halle Berry’s quest for revenge entails a number of bother.
Whereas we don’t know the dimensions of the take, Crime 101 director/co-writer Bart Layton has signaled that L.A’s famed 101 Freeway is a large participant. So this could possibly be extra of an Italian Job ‘03 sized romp than a tightly packed Warmth situation. Maybe the ultimate, and most spectacular, credit score on this constellation of stars is 2025 Academy Award Winner Peter Straughan.
Crime 101’s co-writer lately took residence that trophy for his work on the Robert Harris adaptation Conclave, and it was beforehand nominated for his work on the criminally underrated Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy, starring Gary Oldman. To say that Straughan is aware of his means out round twists of style and occasions is an understatement.
Sadly, for as hyped as all of us could be about this title slated to debut earlier than the top of the 12 months, Crime 101’s trailer shouldn’t be obtainable. All we are able to go by are inside accounts of that CinemaCon presentation and the photographs they conjure. That’s sufficient for Don Winslow’s novella to seize my consideration, as I’ll be excited to learn it whereas picturing Halle Berry stroll away with the loot sooner than you’ll be able to say Now You See Me.
