In the film from the cycle about James Bond "Melci, but not now" (2002) Holly Berry played a girl of agent 007 named Jils. The other day, the actress gave an interview with the magazine Variety, in which she said that her heroine from Bondiana had to get his own film, at which the producers of Barbara Broccoli and Michael J. Wilson, but in the end, the MGM studio refused to highlight the required $ 80 Millight. Nowadays, such a spin-off would not become something out of the rank, but in 2002 it was different. Berry explained:
It was very upset. The idea of such a film was ahead of his time. At that time, no one was ready to invest money in an action head led by black actress. They were simply not sure that this would justify themselves. Here in such circumstances, we were then stayed.
Shooting in "Umci, but not now" Berry was remembered not only to scale, but also a dangerous incident, when Pierce Brosnan saved her life. Earlier this year, the actress in a conversation with Jimmy Fallon told:
I starred in one of the scenes with the pier Rusan. I needed to emit sexuality, so I tried to seduce him with a cocktail olive, but I was stifled. Pierce had to rush me to help and make me a reception of gamelich. It was not at all sexy ... James Bond knows the reception of Gamelich. He will always be my hero.
Recall that in the same 2002 Berry was awarded the Oscar award for the film "Monsters Ball". Now, the 54-year-old actress is preparing to make her debut as a director, having released the film "in the bruises", in which it will also fulfill the main role.
