Berry suffers broken arm while making new film in Canada
Jet, June 2, 2003
There's no holding back when Oscar-winning actress Halle Berry takes on a new role in a film and morphs into that character. Berry got so caught up in her new movie that she recently broke her right arm while filming a scene for the supernatural thriller Gothika in Canada.
Berry, 34, was filming "one of the more physically demanding scenes" when she was hurt, said Joe Everett, a spokesman for the Warner Bros. production. Everett did not have details of the scene.
The beautiful Berry, who stars in the new release X2, broke her ulna, a long bone in the forearm, and was treated at a Montreal hospital and released, Everett said.
The movie, which is set for release in October, was in its fish week of a nine-week shoot. It was unclear when she might return to the set. Berry plays a criminal psychologist who wakes up to find that she is accused of murdering her husband and is a patient in the asylum where she works.
Berry, who won the best-actress Oscar for her role in 2001's Monster's Ball, also suffered an eye injury while filming an action sequence in Spain for 2002's James Bond movie Die Another Day.
