As Halle Berry and Angelina Jolie gear up for their joint venture, "Maude v Maude," the actresses, also co-producers, are set to share the screen.
In a recent interview with Variety, Halle opened up about the challenging start they faced during the project, eventually finding common ground through discussions about their respective "divorces and exes."
While not delving into specifics about the rocky beginning, Halle expressed optimism, stating that their initial difficulties would contribute to their on-screen chemistry.
Describing Angelina as "formidable," Halle expressed delight in crafting a story with another woman that reflects their sensibilities and perspectives.
During the interview, Halle teased that "Maude v Maude" would blend elements from films like "Mr and Mrs Smith" and "Mission: Impossible" but with a comedic twist. She hinted at physical and intellectual conflicts between her character and Angelina's in the movie.
Halle Berry recently finalized her divorce from Olivier Martinez, with a Los Angeles court ordering her to pay $8,000 per month in child support for their 9-year-old son, Maceo. On the other hand, Angelina Jolie is entangled in a contentious custody battle with ex-husband Brad Pitt, dealing with issues related to property and other matters.
The former couple shares six children: Maddox, Pax, Zahara, Shiloh, and twins Vivienne and Knox. In a previous interview with Vogue, Angelina reflected on life after the divorce, emphasizing her commitment to being a positive influence for her children.
