 Perfect Stranger released in theatres on April 13, 2007. The film shot in New York City from January - May 2006, employing 1,701 New York City cast and crew members. In Revolution Studios’ Perfect Stranger, Halle Berry plays Rowena Price, a journalist whose best friend, Grace Clayton has been killed in a brutal murder. Motivated by the loss of her confidant, Price goes undercover to find evidence on ad exec Harrison Hill, Grace’s lover and a married man. Rowena’s associate, tech-savvy Miles Haley, gains access to Grace’s e-mail and learns that Grace was threatening to disclose the affair to Hill’s wife. But as Rowena gets closer to the truth, her attempt to blend in as the perfect stranger may be uncovered. Rowena’s attempt to spy on Harrison Hill, played by Bruce Willis, motivated the filmmakers to shoot in New York. The city lent itself perfectly to the voyeuristic themes of the movie, with people living on top of one another and many New Yorkers’ views being other peoples’ lives. Additionally, Harrison Hill’s ad executive lifestyle was complemented by New York City’s chic restaurants, including scenes shot in Asia de Cuba and Spa. Meanwhile, Rowena’s earthier lifestyle is highlighted by her rambling Upper West Side apartment and the neighborhood bars and cafes where she spends her downtime. The film stars Berry, who shot X-Men (2000) and Boomerang (1992) in NYC, Willis who shot 16 Blocks and Lucky Number Slevin in New York City in 2006. Giovanni Ribisi, who plays the role of Miles, shot Gardener of Eden in New York City in 2006, which debuts at the Tribeca Film Festival.
