Filming for the new movie was supposed to start in Newark, New Jersey on Monday, but the production had to be rescheduled due to Halle Berry’s reported injury during a fight scene.
In “Bruised”, Berry, 53, stars as Jackie, or “Justice,” a mixed martial arts fighter who has to work her way back from the bottom and reunify with her 6-year-old son, Manny.
According to the film's producer Brian Pitt, Halle Barry's injury was not serious.
"She's tired," he said. "She needed a break."
“Occasionally what’s going to happen is an actor might get a little injured, and we might adjust scheduling around them a little bit,” he added, as quoted by the media outlet Just Rated.
On social media, Berry called the opportunity to direct her own movie a dream come true.
