One of Halle Berry‘s next projects, Nappily Ever After, is getting a script rewrite by scribe Lisa Loomer. The film, based on Trisha Thomas’ novel, follows a black woman’s journey to self-discovery. On an impulse, the main character — an advertising exec tired of fussing with her long and processed straight hair — shaves it off and kicks out her commitment-phobic boyfriend. Discovering a newfound freedom, she is unprepared for how friends and co-workers react to her new hairdo and subsequent new life.
The film will be released by Universal Pictures and Patricia Cardoso is signed on for helming duties.
