Catwoman

So, does anybody else think this Catwoman film with Hale Berry is going to tank when it comes out?...

I won't see any Catwoman movie that doesn't have Michelle Pfeiffer in the title role.

It's really hard to say since nothing has been released about the movie yet. I don't even know if it actually started production yet. But if I had to guess, it will bomb horribly. For one the character has NOTHING to do w/ the DC character. So that will piss off a lot of people & hurt the box office. Two, the director has a very unique style that will turn off the mainstream American viewer, unless he drastically changes his style which can also lead to a bad movie. And third, who knows if Halle Berry can carry an action movie by herself. My guess, is she can't.

Honestly, I'm a huge 'Batman' fan but I still have no interest in see'ing this movie. Beyond the hardcore "bat-fans" there isn't much interest in 'Catwoman' as an actual movie.

Not to mention Halle Berry's attitude towards comic based movie's makes me even less interested in anything she does....

There should be some rule about playing more than one comic book character...

Mind you, I'm looking forward to Catwoman. Pitof's visuals and the presence of Owen Wlson, adding life to the most banal of scripts? Why not.

Yeah, it's tough to say at this point. I'm not even sure when it will be released. If it got a summer release, I guess I could see it doing a decent $100 million (a la Daredevil). But that's just one possibility.

I know people here generally don't like Hale Berry, so I wouldn't expect many people here looking forward to it.

Is this supposed to be a joke? If so, I don't get it.

Sharon Stone is playing the villain, not Catwoman. From what I've read, Berry has already done costume fittings and whip training.

I though Ashley Judd, one of the earlier actresses up for the role, was a better choice. They nixed Michelle because they're hoping to turn it into a franchise and wanted an actress who they could sign for a multi-picture deal.

I haven't really paid much attention to talk about the movie's plot. Did they really say the character had nothing to do with the comic or did they just say that the project was taking place outside the realm of Batman (kind of like the way Supergirl was still Supergirl but she didn't ever meet up with Superman in her movie)?
