Deadline is reporting that Oscar-winning actress Halle Berry is set to make her directorial debut on the martial arts action drama Bruised.
Scripted by Michelle Rosenfarb, Bruised will see Berry portraying Jackie ‘Justice’, “a disgraced MMA fighter who has failed at the one thing she’s ever been good at – fighting. When 6-year-old Manny, the son she walked out on years ago, returns to her doorstep, Jackie has to conquer her own demons, face one of the fiercest rising stars of the MMA world, and ultimately fight to become the mother this kid deserves.”
