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

Eddie Murphy Insists He's Not The Riddler

For months now rumors have been swirling about which villain, or villains, will be in Christopher Nolan's follow-up to the ubber successful "The Dark Knight" entitled, "Gotham." Riding right along with these rumors have, of course, been speculation on who will portray these bad guys, or girls.

Oddly enough, the most interesting of these has comedian Eddie Murphy putting on the green tights as The Riddler. As ridiculous as that my sound, the rumor just won't go away.

Now Murphy himself has come forward to try and squash the whole thing. Although he doesn't think that he would make a good Riddler, he does think that he could play another classic Batman foe.

Murphy explains, "I've heard that rumour as well and I don't know anything about it. Whoever is really playing The Riddler is sitting at home calling his agent going, 'We've got to get this rumour stopped.' I would love to be in one of those Batman movies. Jim Carrey did The Riddler once and he did a wonderful job. Egghead, I could be Egghead."

Murphy hasn't been the only one attached to the role. Johnny Depp has also been tagged to play The Riddler. Yet another name that has surfaced recently is none other than "Doctor Who" star David Tennant.

Along with the list of potential Riddlers is the list of potential Catwomen. That list, which is pretty long and seems to be always getting longer, includes Cher, Angelina Jolie, Rachel Weisz and Kate Beckinsale.

You have to remember that these are only rumors at this point. So far Nolan's camp hasn't released anything concrete on who or what is going to be in "Gotham."

Will The Riddler Square Off Against Batman In Gotham?

It has been a few months since we last heard any "Gotham" casting rumors, and quite frankly I was happy about it. Well thanks to Sir Michael Caine, the rumors have once again reared their ugly heads.

Caine, who starred in both "Batman Begins" and "The Dark Knight", recently let it slip that Christopher Nolan and company were contemplating having Batman face The Riddler in the third film of this recent series entitled, "Gotham."

To be precise, Caine's exact words were, "probably be The Riddler", leaving the door still wide open to speculation on whether the super villain would be in the film or not.

To recap the rumors so far, it has been reported for months that Catwoman would be in the next Batman movie. There have been a string of actresses attached to that role, including Cher, Angelina Jolie, Rachel Weisz and Kate Beckinsale.

Then there was the photo that surfaced, allegedly showing Philip Seymour Hoffman in a make-up test for the part of the Penguin.

When it comes to The Riddler, two names have been circulating for some time. Reportedly both Johnny Depp and Eddie Murphy are the leading candidates for the part.

Fans have been very outspoken about their feelings about Murphy as The Riddler, yet the comedians name refuses to go away.

It is possible that "Gotham" may indeed feature all three villains, but at this point it all a massive cluster bomb of rumors. No official word has come from Nolan or anyone on his staff.

Philip Seymour Hoffman As The Penguin Or Not

Will the Penguin be in the next Batman movie? Will Catwoman? How about The Riddler? It may be too early to know for sure, but that hasn't stopped people from spreading rumors like wild-fire has it?

Case in point, now there is an image floating around that shows Philip Seymour Hoffman in a make-up test for the Penguin. Is it a real studio photo or has someone been playing with Photoshop again? No one knows for sure.

If indeed we will be getting another Batman vs Catwoman and Penguin movie, then so be it, but do we need a remake of "Batman Returns?"

Hold on to your seats. This rumor crap will keep going strong, I fear.

Kate Beckinsale Wants The Catwoman Role For Herself

Okay, before I get into this, I want to mention that this info comes from WENN, which I am starting to call "The Bureau of Miss-Information."

From the second that "The Dark Knight" hit theaters this past summer, there has been a swell of rumors surrounding the next Batman movie. Just about all of these rumors have been in regards to the "Catwoman" character and the actress who could play her. For months Christopher Nolan denied that he was even going to make another movie. Regardless the names kept a coming. First there was Cher, then there was Angelina Jolie, and as of last week Rachel Weisz was supposed to have landed the coveted role.

Well here we go, yet again. Now Kate Beckinsale is eying a date with a tight spandex cat suite. The actress, best known for the "Underworld" films wants to add more action roles to her resume a she thinks playing "Catwoman" in the upcoming "Gotham" film would be just the ticket.

So far there has been no official talk between Nolan and Beckinsale, that anyone knows about, but that isn't stopping the actress from making her interest known publicly.

Beckinsale recently told MTV.com, "Absolutely, that would be awesome. I'd love to do that." She then went on to talk about what a surprise it was for her to land the lead role in "Underworld," because she never was a very physical person, "One of the things I've done wrong with my career is not have a massive game plan for it. I was very surprised to ever find myself even considered for an action movie. I'm like the literary, academic geek who's not very good at sports, so it was amazingly shocking that anyone would ever do that. I like to be surprised."

Weisz, Beckinsale, Jolie or Cher? My God, what a mess. There hasn't even been any official word that "Catwoman" will even be in the film.

Then of course, there is that whole Eddie Murphy as "The Riddler" junk. Man I hope that isn't true!

"Gotham" was only announced a week ago and already my head is starting to spin.

Murphy As The Riddler? Weisz As Catwoman? Labeouf As Robin? Here We Go Again!

You know that Batman sequel that Christopher Nolan has been denying for months, well now it reportedly has a cast and a title. According to sources close to Nolan, the film will be titled, "Gotham" and will feature Rachel Weisz as Catwoman, Eddie Murphy as The Riddler and Shia Labeouf as Batman's trusted sidekick Robin.

As recently as October Nolan was making public statements that he wasn't sure that he even wanted to make a third Batman movie, worrying that he couldn't pull off a decent film.

Things reportedly changed in the Nolan camp, and changed in a hurry.

Weisz is the latest of the names to associated with the Catwoman character. For months it was believed that Angelina Jolie was the front-runner for the part. At one time even Cher's name was reported to be on the short-list. Weisz, however, now seems to be a lock.

It is interesting to note that Christopher Nolan didn't want to do a third film because third films generally "suck" (Those are his words), yet by bringing in three new characters, he seems to be following the same formula for disaster. Fans often refer to the adding too many elements into one films as the "Too Many Villains Syndrome." What generally happens here is that too many new characters get put into one film, limiting their character development, which bogs down the films plot. Examples of this are, "Spider-man 3", "Batman Forever" and "Batman & Robin." Fans generally point out that the best superhero films almost always feature one villain.

"Gotham" is scheduled to hit theaters in 2010.
