Exclusive: Halle Berry talks Roland Emmerich's sci-fi film Moonfall
Coming to theaters this weekend (Feb. 4) from Lionsgate is Roland Emmerich’s latest disaster film, Moonfall, starring Academy Award winner Halle Berry, Patrick Wilson and Game of Thrones’ John Bradley. Featured in the film are Michael Peña, Charlie Plummer, Kelly Yu, Eme Ikwuakor, Carolina Bartczak, and Donald Sutherland.
In Moonfall, a mysterious force knocks the Moon from its orbit around Earth and sends it hurtling on a collision course with life as we know it. With mere weeks before impact and the world on the brink of annihilation, NASA executive and former astronaut Jo Fowler (Halle Berry) is convinced she has the key to saving us all – but only one astronaut from her past, Brian Harper (Patrick Wilson) and a conspiracy theorist K.C. Houseman (John Bradley) believes her. These unlikely heroes will mount an impossible last-ditch mission into space, leaving behind everyone they love, only to find out that our Moon is not what we think it is.
For Halle Berry, who is celebrating 20 years since winning the Academy Award for Best Actress for Monster’s Ball and still the ONLY Black actress to do so, she’s been on a roller coaster ride these last few months. Most recently she directed and starred in the MMA film Bruised, which was independently produced but acquired and released through Netflix. Now she’s starring in a big budget sci-fi thriller where she gets to recite some techno jargon and go up in space. Now that’s a role any actor would want off their bucket list. In speaking with Blackfilmandtv.com’s Wilson Morales, Berry talks about working with Emmerich and doing this sci-fi adventure.
