Charlize Theron And Ashley Judd Also Want To Be Catwoman

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.

Aaron Eckhart Wants Nolan To Resurrect Two-Face For Batman Sequel

Actor Aaron Eckhart is hoping that director Christopher Nolan will exercise an often used 'loop-hole' from comic books, and monster movies, that will allow his Two-Face Character to return from the dead in the upcoming "Dark Knight" sequel, rumored to be entitled "Gotham."

That 'loop-hole' is, of course, the fact that all good villains, and monsters, never really stay dead.

As we all now, Two-Face (Harvey Dent) was killed in "The Dark Knight."

Yet, Eckhart is really pressuring Nolan to bring the character back for yet another cinematic go-round, citing many pop-culture references that could make it possible for such a resurrection, namely, soap operas.

The actor explains, "I think I've talked myself out of the job. I thought I'd died. But you know, America's grown up on soap operas and reinventing people so why doesn't Chris take that into consideration (when he's writing the script)?"

It is easy to see that Eckhart is really excited about the possibility of playing the role of Two-Face yet again, maybe too excited, but you have to admire his enthusiasm.

After the death of Heath Ledger, the actor expects that Nolan may take the movie series in an entirely different direction out of respect, "If Chris asked me back, I would love to. Heath really was meant to come back as The Joker (for the next movie) as we all would want him to do so maybe this will be the way it is and be its own little thing."

It is yet to be determined if Nolan will, "believe in Harvey Dent (aka Two-Face)", for his upcoming "Batman" sequel.

'Holy BS Batman! Casting Rumors Are Nothing More Than The Riddler's Tricks!'

Megan Fox, Angelina Jolie, Cher and Kate Beckinsale as Catwoman. Shia Labeouf, Johnny Depp and Eddie Murphy as The Riddler. You know what it all adds up to? Mule Muffins! Well, at least that's what the executives at Warner Bros want you to think, and maybe they're right.

Hot on the heels of the latest Batman movie rumor, that actress Megan Fox has landed the role of Catwoman, the big cheese at Warners have felt that enough is enough, and have now spoke out on the matter.

An unnamed source has made it clear that the studio does indeed want to shoot another Batman movie, and that the project is in the very early stages, and most importantly, the producers haven't even discussed casting yet.

The representative told People.com, "It's a rumour (The Casting of Megan Fox). It's not true. There is no script. There is no project to be cast in."

It's really hard to get a good feel on what exactly is fact, and what is fiction, in this case. It would stand to reason that even if any of the rumors that have been published were true, Warner Bros would deny them, just to keep information regarding the production a secret.

Some of the stuff has even come from reputable sources, like Sir Michael Caine, who let it slip a few months back that indeed The Riddler would be in the film. Other casting rumors have come from the actors themselves, yet, Warner Bros insists it's all bull.

Maybe it is all crapola, then again maybe Cher is going to be Catwoman? Who the heck knows? Well, probably Christopher Nolan, and he ain't talkin.

Megan Fox Cast As Catwoman In "Gotham"?

For months now there has be speculation on whether Catwoman would appear in Christopher Nolan's follow-up to the mega-hit "The Dark Knight", reportedly called "Gotham." Along with this speculation has come a long list of potential femme felines that includes Cher, Kate Beckinsale, Angelina Jolie, Rachel Weisz and even the actress who played the character in the 1992 film "Batman Returns", Michelle Pfeiffer.

Today the British tabloid, The Sun, is reporting that Megan Fox has landed the role and will be on set alongside Christian Bale and Michael Caine when filming begins early next year.

Undoubtedly, adding Fox to the film would be a 'hot' ticket item, as if a film like 'Gotham' needed one, that would get more fanboys in the seats, as if just the fact that it is a Christopher Nolan 'Batman' film wasn't enough.

Now, I don't think that I need to point out the fact that this news comes from The Sun, a tabloid, so obviously this could just be fodder.

Fox is set to make young men drool all over themselves in the upcoming dark comedy "Jennifer's Body", which will be released September 18th.

No word on whether Eddy Murphy will be playing The Riddler yet. No....really....that's the rumor.

Michelle Pfeiffer Wants Her Cat Suite Back

Michelle Pfeiffer was okay with letting Halle Berry borrow the Catwoman costume for one movie, but now she wants it back. The actress, who played Batman's infamous nemesis in the 1992 movie "Batman Returns", wants her name added to the growing list of potential Catwomen for Christopher Nolan's upcoming film "Gotham."

Nolan hasn't even publicly acknowledged that Catwoman will even be in his sequel to the hugely popular movie "The Dark Knight", yet actresses have been lining up around the block for the coveted role. Let's see, so far, Kate Beckinsale, Angelina Jolie, Rachel Weisz and even Cher, have been in some way attached to the part.

So why not Michelle Pfeiffer?

Pfeiffer recently told a reporter for Moviefone, "It would be really fun. I don't think that's going to happen. I think they like to get a new face for the different characters, and I understand it. But yeah, that was really fun. I had a good time."

I agree with Pfeiffer, odds are, if Nolan indeed plans to have Catwoman in his next movie, he will probably find someone new, and different for the role. If he follows his pattern of casting characters from the first two "Batman" films, then he will probably find a really good method actress, someone who will be willing to literally become the part.

Besides, I really don't think that Pfeiffer would be a good match for Eddie Murphy's Riddler......lol

Christopher Nolan To Helm Inception For Warner Bros.

Filmmaker Christopher Nolan, the director and co-writer of the critically lauded summer blockbuster "The Dark Knight," will helm a new film entitled "Inception" for Warner Bros. Pictures. The announcement was made today by Jeff Robinov, President of Warner Bros. Pictures Group.

Nolan also wrote the original screenplay for "Inception," which is described as a contemporary sci-fi actioner set within the architecture of the mind. The film will be produced by Nolan and his longtime producing partner Emma Thomas, who served as a producer on "The Dark Knight."

"Inception" will go into production this summer and is being planned for release in the summer of 2010.

In making the announcement, Robinov stated, "Chris Nolan is a visionary filmmaker who continually raises the bar with each movie he makes. We are thrilled to be collaborating again with him and Emma on this exciting new motion picture."

Christopher Nolan was most recently honored with a Directors Guild of America (DGA) Award nomination for his groundbreaking work on "The Dark Knight." He also shared in nominations for a Writers Guild of America Award, with Jonathan Nolan and David S. Goyer, and a Producers Guild of America Award, with Emma Thomas and Charles Roven. Opening to worldwide critical acclaim in July 2008, "The Dark Knight" broke every available box office record on its way to becoming the top-grossing release of the year and the second-highest-grossing film (domestically) of all time.

Nolan previously co-wrote and directed the dramatic thriller "The Prestige" and the action hit "Batman Begins," and directed the suspense thriller "Insomnia." The filmmaker had earlier written and directed the innovative crime drama "Memento," for which he received Oscar(R) and Golden Globe nominations for Best Screenplay, as well as a DGA Award nomination. The film also won four Independent Spirit Awards, including Best Feature, Best Director and Best Screenplay.
