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.

Berry, 34, was filming “one of the more physically demanding scenes” when she was hurt on Wednesday, said Joe Everett, a spokesman for the Warner Bros production in Los Angeles yesterday.

Berry broke her ulna, a long bone in the forearm, and was treated at a Montreal hospital and released, Mr 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, who won an Oscar for her role in 2001’s Monster’s Ball, suffered an eye injury while filming an action sequence in Spain for the 2002 James Bond movie, Die Another Day.
