More news on the Halle Berry `Jinx` franchise

13-Nov-2002 • Die Another Day

Yahoo Movie News has today announced further revelations on the possible Jinx spin-off franchise from Die Another Day:

Michael G. Wilson and Barbara Broccoli - the producers of "Day" and the executives who hold half the reins to the $3.8 billion Bond franchise - have given their approval to a Jinx picture.

Although it had been rumored that Michelle Yeoh would star in her own series of spy pictures after appearing in 1997`s "Tomorrow Never Dies," the Jinx project would represent the first time a character featured in a Bond film has ever segued into his or her own film.

MGM and the Bond franchise`s producers have been high on Berry`s involvement with "Day" from the start, even going so far as to feature the actress prominently alongside Pierce Brosnan throughout the picture`s marketing campaign.

The Jinx project is still in the early stages of development. Neal Purvis and Robert Wade, who scripted "Day" and "The World is Not Enough," are working on a treatment.
