  If Halle Berry keeps putting out garbage movies she will be starring in a Mongolian opera for a bag of popcorn.

  I don't know, maybe it could be good.. you never know, it may help with the "black films don't sell overseas" non-sense somehow.. Time will tell.

  Halle Berry is NOT going to star in a Nollywood movie she considers herself to be an A list American actress. I think someone like Naomie Harris or Thandie Newton would consider taking on this role but not Halle. Halle really markets herself towards a western audience.

  A-list actors market themselves directly overseas all the time. When I was in Japan, Clooney was everywhere...EVERYWHERE in commercials/productions exclusively made for Japanese audiences. She should consider... actually most of the American actors of color should expand and secure their audiences overseas from Brazil to S. Korea...

  @ FIONA why you hating ? the guy want her, let him have her, his money and story is the main thing.
  
  his creativity and don't just hate ........ read the article ,,,, they are talking to group a list actors not just her.

  Just because they are talking to A-list actors does not mean that the film, "safari" , will be good. And I am not hating...I am just talking to a group of myopic internet users!!!

  unless he as a lot of money and she's gonna do it purely for the money, this is a far fetched dream. cos his work does not have any appeal for someone like halle berry. she won't put her career in his hands unless she wants the money. and the fact that his colleagues are using Hollywood stars does not mean he should want to outshine them by going for Halle Berry. fill your mouth with what you can chew.

  Halle should do it. And if she's offered a picture in Brazil or China, she should do those.

  Open the door for African American actresses to do what? Play maids? Be in Tyler Perry movies? Strip naked and have sex with Billy Bob Thornton?

• dayo | August 1, 2012 10:37 PM

  Halle should do no such thing! Halle should focus on opening the door for other African American women like she so tearfully attested to in her "thank you remarks" when she won her Oscar for "monster's ball"...

  Exactly Donella...
