I almost made it a entire month without mentioning another actress linked to playing Catwoman. I almost made it.
Isn't it fun sitting back watching actresses clawing each others eyes out for a part, that reportedly doesn't exist, in a movie movie that reportedly doesn't even have a script yet? Such is the case with the role of Catwoman, which, like I just mentioned, hasn't even been confirmed as a villain in Christopher Nolan's upcoming sequel to "The Dark Knight".
Let's do, yet, another role call of feline wannabes: Megan Fox, Cher, Kate Beckinsale, Angelina Jolie, Rachel Weisz and even the actress who played the character in the 1992 film "Batman Returns", Michelle Pfeiffer.
Okay, now let's add two more names to the pile, Charlize Theron and Ashley Judd.
According to sources, Theron is 'desperate' to play the part, quipping, "I think what has happened to that franchise is amazing. (Batman filmmaker) Chris Nolan is a genius. I would be an idiot to not consider that part."
Actually the casting of Theron, would make some sense, considering the fact that she has already played a similar character in the live-action movie based on the animated series, "Aeon Flux".
As far as Ashley Judd is concerned, well I really don't have much on that, it seems her desire to put on the latex and prowl around somehow got under my radar.
Pretty soon it will be easier to list the actresses who 'don't' want to play Catwoman in these articles. I think every female in Hollywood, who has ever spent more than two seconds in front of the camera, will be in line, when, and if, Nolan decides to put the character in his movie, which is supposed to be called "Gotham", but that hasn't been confirmed yet either.

Theron is the best possibility mentioned so far - a beautiful woman who can act, and who doesn't come across as a shameless publicity hound like Jolie, Fox, and countless others who've been mentioned for this part.
ReplyDeleteI'm for Theron as well, for the reasons djkrouskop mentions, but also for being the only one of the set who has that right balance of seeming believably cold and deadly while exuding that raw allure to conceivably steal the Batman from his mission.
ReplyDeleteBeckinsale is maybe a distant second but suffers from that same hint of innocent vulnerability that I just can't see Batman falling for. Pfeiffer had the same quality, far too much pathos; we don't want to forgive Catwoman, we want to side with her in spite of our best judgement!
