LOS ANGELES (AP) – Oscar-winning actress Halle Berry broke her right arm while filming a scene for the supernatural thriller “Gothika” in Canada, a publicist for the movie said Thursday.
Berry, 34, was filming “one of the more physically demanding scenes” when she was hurt Wednesday, said Joe Everett, a spokesman for the Warner Bros. production.
Everett did not have details of the scene.
Berry broke her ulna, a long bone in the forearm, and was treated at a Montreal hospital and released, Everett said.
The movie was in its fifth week of a nine-week shoot. It was unclear when she might return to the set. Berry plays a criminal psychologist who wakes up to find that she is accused of murdering her husband and is a patient in the asylum where she works.
“Gothika” is set for release in October.
Berry won the best-actress Oscar for her role in 2001’s “Monster’s Ball.”
She suffered an eye injury while filming an action sequence in Spain for 2002’s James Bond movie, “Die Another Day.”
