Oscar-winner Halle Berry ("Monster's Ball") will be producing and starring in a remake of Pam Grier's 1974 cult hit "Foxy Brown", about a woman bent on avenging the murder of her boyfriend, reports Variety.

"We're going to take some license in updating the character," MGM production prexy Alex Gartner told Variety.

"We're going to take all the positive aspects of Foxy as a powerful, empowered woman, and we're going to create a larger-than-life vehicle for Halle."

Berry is also up for "Brown-Eyed Girl", a smaller film that follows the ups and downs in the love life of a contemporary woman. The project has been in development for several years, Variety reports.

Berry is currently filming the 20th instalment of the James Bond franchise "Die Another Day". She will then head to Vancouver to begin filming on "X-Men 2".
