Halle Berry Breaks Arm On 'Gothika' Set

[Thursday, May 15th, 2003]
Actress Halle Berry has broken her arm on the Montreal set of her upcoming film Gothika, according to Reuters.

Berry plays a criminal psychologist in the supernatural thriller, and was injured on Wednesday while shooting a "physically demanding scene".

Several of Berry's co-stars, who include Robert Downey Jr., Penelope Cruz, and Bernard Hill, were on set at the time but it's not clear who else was in the scene with her. "It wasn't a stunt scene, it was just one of the physical scenes in a movie," said a spokesperson. "Her arm didn't go the way it was supposed to."

Berry, 32, was taken by ambulance to a Montreal hospital, where she was treated for a broken ulna -- the bone that extends from the elbow to the wrist -- and released.

The producers, Robert Zemeckis and Joel Silver, shut down filming until next Tuesday when it is thought Berry should be well enough to return.
