Halle Berry, Mark Walhberg: Why Were They Spotted In New Jersey Recently
You might have seen two familiar faces walking around Morristown last week. Halle Berry and Mark Wahlberg were out shooting a scene for their upcoming film in the Garden State. According to the application filed with the Town of Morristown, per the Patch, the actors were doing some reshoots for The Union.
Berry and Wahlberg will star alongside Oscar winner J.K. Simmons, Oscar nominee Jackie Earle Haley and Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje. The film is described as a construction worker from New Jersey (Wahlberg as “Mike”) who enters the “world of super spies and secret agents” when his ex-girlfriend Roxanne (Berry) recruits him for a mission for U.S. intelligence.
The film is directed by Julian Farino (Ballers) and written by David Guggenheim (Safe House, Stolen). According to the site, some scenes from the film were shot in Jersey City, Bayonne, Kearny, and Paterson. Additionally, the cast went overseas to film in London in early 2022.

Berry and Walhberg weren’t the only Hollywood stars to walk the streets of New Jersey as of late. Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni were spotted in New Jersey for the filming of the movie adaptation of Colleen Hoover’s novel It Ends with Us. Per Hoboken Girl, Lively, and Baldoni started filming in the Garden State in Hoboken and Bloomfield on May 10th.
The Patch reported that Hoboken’s Field Colony art gallery was transformed into “Maya & Maxim, a homey-looking shop.” In the novel, Lily (Lively) opens a flower shop called Lily’s Blooms. However, it is unclear at this time what the “Maya & Maxim” shop will play in the film.
The synopsis of the film reads: “A girl named Lily who has just moved and is ready to start her life after college. After meeting a doctor named Ryle — who swears by the ‘no girlfriends’ rule — the two begin falling for each other. Just as things turn serious, Lily’s first love, Atlas, reappears in her life and challenges her new relationship.”
Release dates for both films have yet to be announced.
