Halle Berry Contemplates Becoming a 'Surrogate'
Generic thriller attracts the MIA actress
Looking over Halle Berry's career I think she has only impressed me twice. I loved her in Bulworth and thought she deserved Oscar consideration for her performance in Things We Lost in the Fire. I did not like Monster's Ball at all and would have never considered her performance Oscar-worthy, but she was up against a lackluster field that year so I can't complain too much although I would have certainly given the golden knight to Zellweger, Kidman or Spacek before Berry.
All that said, it appears she isn't reaching too high yet again as Variety reports she is now in talks to star in the recently announced thriller The Surrogate for 20th Century Fox and director Paul Verhoeven.
The generic thriller revolves around a couple who hire a surrogate to carry their child and find out mid-term the surrogate is insane. It isn't specified what role Berry will be playing, but I am inclined to believe she will be playing the crazed surrogate, and in that case I have pretty much already lost all interest in this one.
Rod and Bruce Taylor penned the screenplay based on a novel by Kathryn Mackel.
