Halle Berry has revealed that she and Angelina Jolie “had a rocky start” to their working relationship on new film Maude v Maude.Directed by Roseanne Liang, the upcoming film will see the stars battle it out “physically and intellectually” in what is being described as a Bond v Bourne-style action-thriller.In a new interview with Variety, Berry said she and Jolie struggled to get along at first, but added: “I think that is going to serve us well in our screen time together.”The X-Men star also described her fellow Oscar-winning actress as “formidable”, and said she was “thrilled to work with another woman and craft a story with our sensibility and from our point of view.”Berry said that the two of them found plenty in common and have since bonded after sharing their respective experiences. “We’ve been talking a lot about divorces and exes.

We bonded, let’s say that,” she said.On scouting locations for the film, Berry added: “Warner Bros. bought our screenplay and, for us, it is about going places that have never been shown on screen before.

We plan on going all around the world.”Back in October, director Matthew Vaughn claimed that Berry was “tricked” into reprising her role as Storm for X-Men: The Last Stand.Vaughn directed X Men: First Class and was a writer and producer for X-Men: Days of Future Past.

However, he pulled out of directing X-Men: The Last Stand after Berry was allegedly tricked into joining the film with the promise of a particular scene featuring Storm.“One of the main reasons I quit ‘X-Men 3,’ and this is a true story, I went to an executive’s office and I saw an ‘X3’ script.
