Halle Berry multi-picture deal with Netflix

The artist was recently in the news after she struck a multi-picture partnership with Netflix, and will not only star in the films but also be on the production team. The film followed the life of MMA fighter, Jackie Justice, played by Halle Berry herself, who works towards reclaiming her lost honour. According to articles by Hollywood Reporter, Berry mentioned that the streaming giant was 'collaborative and creative' and made her experience with them a delightful one.

Apart from directing the film being a challenge for Berry, she also worked incredibly hard to play the role of Jackie Justice on screen. The actor's longtime friend and trainer Peter Lee Thomas recently opened up about her rigorous routine in conversation with Entertainment Weekly. He mentioned that her day began at 7.45 am and she would go into mobility training and combat prep. He also mentioned that he put her through a 500-rep challenge that had her doing squats, pull-ups, knee raises and much more. The actor also cracked two of her ribs on set and Peter Lee Thomas had to modify some of the routines so she could execute them comfortably without injuring herself further.
