Angelina Jolie and Halle Berry will star in ‘MAUDE VS MAUDE’ with Roseanne Liang set to direct

Angelina Jolie and Halle Berry will star in ‘MAUDE VS MAUDE’ with Roseanne Liang set to direct.

The film is described as a ‘Bond vs. Bourne’ type of action thriller. James Bond and Jason Bourne are two of cinema’s most well-recognized spies. Bond was most recently by Daniel Craig in No Time to Die, and the latter character played by Matt Damon in The Bourne franchise. While Bond is British and Bourne is from Missouri, people mainly know them from their abilities, skills, gadgets, and the over-the-top situations they often get into. If Maude vs. Maude promises to be a movie that will see two spies of high caliber facing off against each other, it will make for one exciting action thriller.

While Berry and Jolie have had careers that have spanned three decades, the two have never worked together. Both are veterans of the genre, though; Jolie starred as the title character in the hit action thriller Salt, and Berry played Jinx in the blockbuster Bond installment Die Another Day. Other action-heavy credits include Berry starring in John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum and the X-Men movies, while Jolie’s credits include starring in Mr. & Mrs. Smith, Maleficent as well as originating the role of Lara Croft in Lara Croft: Tomb Raider.

When it comes to action thrillers, both Berry and Jolie are no strangers to the fast-paced genre. Berry played Bond girl, Jinx, opposite Pierce Brosnan’s Bond in Die Another Day and starred in John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum alongside Keanu Reeves, while Jolie starred as the title character in Salt. Other credits to their names include Berry’s Storm in the Fox X-Men movie franchise, and Jolie’s Lara Croft in the Lara Croft movies and her titular role opposite Brad Pitt in the movie Mr. and Mrs. Smith. This will also be Berry’s and Jolie’s first time on screen together in the 30 years they have been on the Hollywood scene.

The package hit the market last week and wrapped over the weekend, with Warner Bros getting aggressive and putting in the winning bid. Since taking over as co-studio heads, Michael De Luca and Pam Abdy having been pushing to get more movie star-centric packages into their future slate. Once this package with two of the bigger stars in the last two decades came together, it was too hard to pass up, with Warners putting in an impressive bid you haven’t been seeing from the studios as often these days, especially with the endless amounts of money the streamers seem to have.
