Oscar winner Halle Berry is making her directorial debut with “Bruised“, a mixed martial arts action drama in which she’s also starring. Berry will reteam with John Wick producer Basil Iwanyk of Thunder Road Pictures, who is also producing Bruised along with Entertainment 360 and Linda Gottlieb.

“Bruised”, written by Michelle Rosenfarb, follows Jackie “Justice,” a disgraced MMA fighter who has failed at the one thing she’s ever been good at – fighting. When 6-year-old Manny, the son she walked out on years ago, returns to her doorstep, Jackie must now conquer her own demons, face one of the fiercest rising stars of the MMA world, and ultimately fight to become the mother her son kid deserves.

Newark Police officials announced that due to film production occurring at locations in the city, there will be no parking on the following streets during designated hours:
