Crime 101: Halle Berry’s new role
Oscar winner Halle Berry has recently entered talks to play the lead role in Amazon MGM Studios’ upcoming thriller “Crime 101”. The film is an anticipated follow-up to Bart Layton’s “American Animals”. The project also stars Berry alongside Chris Hemsworth, Mark Ruffalo and Barry Keoghan. The film will begin shooting soon and is expected to release in theaters next year.
The plot of the film has been kept secret, but it is inspired by a Don Winslow short story. The story revolves around a jewelry theft on the Pacific Coast and the police investigation into the Colombian cartel. Detective Lou Lubesnik will try to understand the criminals and their motives through his perspective.

In addition, she also starred in HBO’s “Introducing Dorothy Dandridge,” for which she won Emmy and Golden Globe awards.
Berry has appeared in several major films, such as “Jungle Fever,” “X-Men,” and “John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum.” Her multifaceted roles have established her as an established actress. Her role in “Crime 101” is a sign that she is still looking for new and challenging characters.

The film is directed by Bart Layton, who previously received praise for “American Animals.” He has also written the screenplay for the film along with Peter Straughan.
