When not promoting her directorial debut film Bruised in which she stars as a disgraced MMA fighter, Oscar winner Halle Berry (Monster’s Ball) is filming her new project, Moonfall. It’s a sci-fi movie about a “ragtag” space crew who travels to space to save Earth from a collision with the Moon, which has suddenly fallen out of orbit.
Halle’s co-stars include Patrick Wilson (Aquaman, Angels in America), Donald Sutherland, and Stanley Tucci, among others. Halle and Patrick play former NASA astronauts.
German filmmaker Roland Emmerich directs (co-writes and co-produces) Moonfall, which is reported to be one of the most expensive independent films ever – it has a $150 million budget.
Moonfall is being filmed in Montreal, Canada and is scheduled for a 2021 release.
