Halle Berry to Play POTUS in Movie Version of Bill Clinton's Novel 'The President Is Missing'

Halle Berry will be starring in a gender-swapped film adaptation of the novel The President Is Missing.

The Oscar-winning actress will produce the movie alongside President Bill Clinton and author James Patterson, who co-wrote the 2018 novel of the same name.

The book was originally sold to Showtime to be turned into a series starring David Oyelowo as the president, but the pandemic caused the project to never happen.

Now, Halle has the rights to the book and she’s turning it into a movie with plans to play POTUS!

Deadline reports that in the movie, “when a terrorist threatens an attack so lethal it will return the United States to the dark ages, the only person who can stop him is President Joanna Duncan (Berry) — but first she has to elude her own secret service and escape the confines of the White House in a gambit to save the world single-handedly.”

Halle has a new movie hitting theaters in a couple weeks!
