Halle Berry Set To Star in and Produce Psychological Thriller THE PROCESS
Halle Berry has jumped on board to star in and produce a new film project titled The Process, which is said to be a psychological thriller that will be directed by Tara Miele. The script was written by Levin Menekse and it originally appeared on the Black List of best unproduced screenplays.
The story follows “a seemingly happily married couple, who attend the weekend seminar of Aiden, a renowned self-help guru, and are asked to examine their individual lives, careers, and ultimately their marriage, but when Kirsa resists Aiden’s ‘process’ and his cult of committed volunteers, and Peter buys in, their relationship and sanity are quickly put to the test.”
Producers Robert Kravis and Karl Herrmann from Pioneer Pictures said in a statement: “We are thrilled to be working with HalleHolly to bring Levin’s amazing screenplay to the screen. Tara’s vision for the film—a Kubrickian psychological thriller taking us down the rabbit-hole of self-help cults, and Halle’s interpretation of the film’s lead character, Kirsa—a woman fighting to preserve her marriage and her sanity amid an oppressive cult of personality, will leave audiences breathless.”
The director added: “It’s so rare to find a script like Levin Menekse’s The Process that is gripping, emotionally resonant, and feels essential in this moment. I’m thrilled to get to bring this gem to life and to collaborate with Halle Berry, who brings such raw, real presence to the screen as an actress and is also an incredibly thoughtful collaborator and savvy producer.”
This sounds like it’ll be a great project for Berry, who will next be seen in Netflix’s The Union opposite Mark Wahlberg.
