Halle Berry has broken her foot while filming ‘Cloud Atlas’ in Spain

The actress was at the house where she is staying while making the sci-fi movie when she mis-stepped, causing her injury. Sources told website TMZ she was taken to hospital where he foot was put in a cast. She later left the medical facility in a wheelchair.

The film’s directors, Tom Tykwer, Andy Wachowski and Lana Wachowski, are overcoming the immediate problem of shooting Halle’s scenes – in which she plays one of few remaining survivors in a post apocalyptic world – by filming her from the waist up, using a stunt double, or simply shooting other scenes in which she is not required.

Speaking of the film, Tom has promised it will be of an epic proportion, saying: “The big-scale adult movie is a dying species. Where are the ‘2001s’ and the ‘Lawrence of Arabia’? “You go to all these studios, and you see their framed photographs, the films they’re so proud of, and you wonder: ‘Where are the pictures this year that they want blown up with a nice expensive frame around it?’”

Other A-list stars to appear in the big budget adaptation of the novel by David Mitchell include Tom Hanks, Hugh Grant, Jim Sturgess and Hugo Weaving. Halle is not the only star to have been hurt in an accident in recent weeks. ‘True Blood’ actress Evan Rachel Wood lost a tooth after being hit in the face by an erratic dancer at a Parisian nightclub, where she was celebrating her 24th birthday earlier this month.

The ‘Twentysomething’ singer – who is engaged to Sophie Dahl, the author and former model – said he tried to impress her with his knowledge of books when they first met.

He said: “We hit it off immediately. I think we knew emotionally that we would become good friends. We just started talking about books – I was reading David Mitchells ‘Cloud Atlas’ at the time – and certain other stuff that we were into.”

Jamie – who met Sophie at a charity event for the Lavender Trust two-and-a-half years ago – said he never thought the former model would be interested in him.

He told the Observer newspaper: “Someone like me never entertains the idea of going after someone like her, so I didn’t go for it. I couldn’t assume that she would be interested in me… but it worked!

“Lucky old me – it turned out to be much more. I think it was to do with the fact that I always carry a good boy around with me. In my case I was actually reading it, although it’s a good chat-up tip, I think, to always carry a good, thick book.”
