Halle Berry Heads to Space in ‘Independence Day’ Director Roland Emmerich’s Sci-fi Film ‘Moonfall’

Announced last year, Independence Day, Godzilla and Independence Day: Resurgence director Roland Emmerich has set his next project, a sci-fi epic titled Moonfall.
Deadline provides an update on the Lionsgate project today, announcing that Halle Berry has been set as the film’s female lead. The cast thus far also includes Josh Gad.
Berry will be playing a “NASA astronaut-turned-administrator whose previous space mission holds a clue about an impending catastrophe.”
Moonfall is said to “imagine a disaster in which a mysterious force knocks the moon from its orbit, sending it on a collision course towards earth. With little time to spare, a ragtag team launches a last-ditch mission to the moon, hoping to solve the mystery and save the earth from annihilation.”
The script was written by Emmerich, Harald Kloser, and Spenser Cohen.
