Please, Basset would have been light years beyond Berry, even with the poorly written role for Storm. Also we're talking 2000, Basset would not have been too old. The woman is in her 50's and looks great. She wouldve been perfect as an older Storm in DOFPIm glad they never offered her the role... She would have looked too old as Storm in Dofp. She is also shorter than Halle.
