Halle Berry to Star in Sony's JAGGED EDGE Remake

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Halle Berry is attached to a remake of Jagged Edge, originally a 1985 thriller that starred Glenn Close and Jeff Bridges.

Sony is developing the project, which is in the early stages and has no writer on board. Doug Belgrad and Matti Leshem (The Shallows) are producing.

The original movie, which was written by Basic INSTINCT scribe Joe Eszterhas, told of a high-profile lawyer, played by Close, who is hired by a man (Bridges) accused of killing his socialite wife. In true Eszterhas fashion, the lawyer and the accused start sleeping with each other even as the court case takes dark and twisty turns with a conniving DA, lying witnesses and mysterious, anonymous letters.

Halle Berry (Monster's Ball, the X-Men franchise) is a two-time Actor® recipient. The first recognized her Outstanding Performance in Introducing Dorothy Dandridge, in the Female Actor in a Television Movie or Limited Series category. She subsequently was honored with an Actor® and an Oscar® for her lead performance in Monster's Ball.
