Miss Berry said there was such a shortage of decent roles on offer that she had resorted to buying the rights of books she wanted to develop into films.

Such an original idea! Someone should buy the rights to "Gone With The Wind" and make a movie. Then they could film "Ordinary People", "Little Women", "Tom Sawyer", "The Firm", "Hunt For Red October" . . . . .

What a dunderhead.

Then they could film "Ordinary People", "Little Women", "Tom Sawyer", "The Firm", "Hunt For Red October" . . . . .

That just shows us how lazy and pampered she is. She's used to having everything brought to her on a silver platter. After the deafening silence of Catwoman, perhaps the "good scripts" aren't as plentiful.

And then re-write it with a bunch of "women of color" to make Halle happy. A black female CIA analyst realizes that a prototype missile submarine full of black female Russian naval officers intends to defect. Cast Queen Latifa as the sassy captain of the U.S.S. Harlem, an American fast-attack sub... I can see it now... "Oh no you DIDN'T flood them torpedo tubes at me, ho!"
