Pablo Fenjves (Man on a Ledge) will write the screenplay in which Berry plays a young bride who is engaged to be married, until she discovers her soon-to-be husband is in the mob. She bolts the wedding, leaving the mobster at the altar, and goes undercover as a young man’s Mom. A party girl and prone to trouble, her wild ways begin to reveal her true identity at every turn.
Berry is also attached to produce Mother alongside her 606 Films Production partner Elaine Goldsmith-Thomas.

In addition, 606 Films is currently in production on the 2nd season of the CBS summer event series Extant, in which Berry also stars. Berry last appeared in X-Men: Days of Future Past, reprising her role as Storm.
