Angelina Jolie Being Courted For Catwoman
Fresh out of the birthing chambers, it looks like Angelina has her sights set on Catwoman?! We get the following scoop from our friends at monsters and critics.
Angelina Jolie is reportedly being lined up to star as Catwoman in a new movie. The 33-year-old actress is said to be in final negotiations with studio bosses to play the feline villain who first appeared in the Batman comics.
Angelina has already been approved for the role by Julie Newmar, who played Catwoman in the ‘Batman’ TV series from 1966 to 1968. Julie, now 74, said: “Angelina would own the part. My industry friends tell me she has already made enquiries about the role. I can understand how it would pique her interest. Catwoman is Batman’s one true love.
I think Angelina Jolie would make an outstanding Catwoman. She is a sultry minx, and if anyone could play the character today; it would be her. I just have the same thought in my head that almost all of you do. Are people ready for another Catwoman after Halle Berry’s disastrous cinematic abortion?
I think Jolie is a name that will put asses in seats, and the right outfit will help to quell any doubts. Who knows, maybe they are even planning a tie in to the current Batman franchise. I personally think they should make the film in a few more years…but show us the outfit as soon as possible.
What do you guys think? Will Angelina be able to pull people back for another helping of Catwoman, or are its chances shot because of the previous film?
I just threw up a bit…
Catwoman in a new standalone movie or Catwoman in a sequel to Dark Knight? That’s the big question. I’m not too big on Catwoman for the next Bat-villain. If she wants to do it, she needs to EAT and get her curves back. She was a twig in Wanted.
And would you check out those eyes? Jeez, she’s beautiful!
Whatever they decide to do with Catwoman i hope they skip the supernatural bullshit and make her what she is, a thief. And Jolie as Catwoman makes so much sense. The woman is sexy
I would like to see Catwoman appear in The Dark Knight’s sequel.
I don’t think the character is strong enough for a stand alone film.
And I think someone like Kate Beckinsale or (maybe) Katee Sackhoff would be a much better fit for the role.
If Nolan gives Angelina as Catwoman the care and respect and awesomeness he did with the Joker…….I don’t think we have anything to worry about.
Beckinsale for this boy, curves and class and great diction (no joke intended!)….but please, let’s not repeat the Halle Berry mistake!
I don’t believe this news.
They don’t have a script yet. I am sure they are thinking about what to do next but there is no way they are already approaching actors.
Within an hour of seeing The Dark Knight, I had told my friends that if it were up to me, I would bring in Catwoman for the next film. It’s the perfect opportunity to do so after what happened to Rachel. It could add some sexual tension and a new layer to Bruce’s inner conflict.
I also told them if it were up to me, I would probably cast Angelina Jolie. She’s got that sultry look that would be perfect for enticing Batman, not to mention she’s a decent actress in her own right.
Needless to say, I’m pleased with this news.
Put this in batman 3.
“I personally think they should make the film in a few more years…but show us the outfit as soon as possible.”
Haha that was funny. And true.
I am with those who believe Catwoman would be a fine addition to the Nolan movies. Jolie would certainly be interesting in this role, although I prefer the idea of casting Kate Beckinsale. As long as the character is well developed and that they find an actress who can ACT (and fit in the costume), it should rock.
She needs a sammich or three. She oozes sexuality, but only when she isn’t anorexic.
She will be hotter than hell as Catwoman. So hot we will forget about the Halle Berry Catwoman – we have tried so hard already.
Morgan Freeman did make that comment in the movie about the new batsuit stopping a cat. Maybe that was a little foreshadowing?
Oh, thank you God!!!! I’ll be waiting to see her in Batman Begins 3.
Please of all that is holy, dont let the heroin addict near BATMAN. She’s not hot, nor can she act. Remember her before Pitt, didnt think so. Shes a by-product of the system,nothing else. Its all phony, wake up !
If she plays Catwoman in whatever it may be, a stand-alone or Batman 3, then I will feel my life is complete if I were to die immediately after watching it.
Bring back Michelle =)
That’s not to say that Jolie wouldn’t be a good catwoman.
I agree with Kristina, Jolie looked way thin in Wanted and I actually thought the director shot her from the neck up alot to hide that fact.
Personally I don’t believe the story as its highly unlikely Nolan at this point is giving any thought to another Batman movie at all. Close to signing?- Hard to believe! Personally I don’t want to see Catwomen in Nolan’s world. I don’t see it working.Hope this rumor has no truth to it!
What the hell is this? Are they going to act like the one with Haley Barry was never made like they did with the Incredible Hulk?
I don’t know if I’m more against Catwoman in Nolan’s Batman, or even considering Jolie to play the character…sounds like a shitty ending to a damn good series.
The optimal storyline for the next film MUST include The Riddler played by a method actor or David Tennant. Either that or maybe Black Face, since he’s equally as dark as The Joker.
Catwoman? Angelina Jolie? Why don’t you have the Mad Hatter played by Troy Verner, or Clay Face played by a tall fat kid with Downs Syndrome, or maybe even Bane played by John Goodman…Jesus Christ this is stupid.
I’d love to see her take on the role; she’s bring all kinds of sultry sexy to the part. She does definitely need those curves back though because a too skinny Catwoman would not be sexy.
I never saw the Catwoman movie, in fact, I like to pretend it doesn’t exist. The moment they cast Halle B in that role I was out and then when I saw the costume, holy crap, I was really out.
Yea I agree with you catwoman and all that silly bat man villains should stay out of Nolans world.
And I do not know why everyone on the web is acting like Two Face died.
It was Harvey Dent that died.
Two Face will return no villain in a comic book movie dies from a three story fall.
As a girl who is a comicbook geek, Angelina Jolie is beautiful, she is an amazing actress, but I can not she her as Catwoman. I agree with Kate Beckinsale or Katee Sackhoff (people go check out projectabraham.com, she plays an army psych.).
I think she would be perfect catwoman she makes it very clear that she enjoys bdsm and catwoman is the sexiest Dominatrix out there. Perfect Match..show us the outfit!
My opinion is it doesn’t matter WHO is in the role. Halle is and WAS the shit back then but the movie SUCKED and the outfit SUUUUCKED, so it all depends on WHO is MAKING it.
If Nolan was making it, then it people would most definitely go see it. BUT ain’t NO way he’s makin that. I would be SHOCKED if he was and I would be BOOSTED.
My bad! I assumed it was for a dark knight sequel! while the story is somewhat cloudy it would seem that its for her to play the part in a catwoman movie not a Nolan batman 3. Ok, I could live with that but what’s really the point!
She’s supposedly being looked into for the “DARK KNIGHT” sequel.
Yes, guys, they are looking at Catwoman as a potential villain for Nolan’s follow up to “The Dark Knight.” This is the news from BOF.
This better be for Nolan’s Finale. All other pure villians would be weak sauce after the Joker, so one whit a romantic/ sexual complexity would help.
Jollie as catwoman might keep some people away. At least that’s the reason I heard time and time again for people not wanting to see Wanted. I think she would do a good job but so would a lot of other actors. And in a so crazy it has to work way I think Halle could do a pretty good job if they brought her back and just pretended the last movie didn’t happen.
The Joker is a psychopathic mass murdering killer that’s all i expect fom him, many comic book writers take liberty on characters as well.
Jett over at BOF is reporting that there are talks over at WB and or ‘rumors’ that Angelina Jolie could be Catwoman in Christopher Nolan’s follow up to “The Dark Knight.” I personally think this is a brilliant idea. I don’t even like Catwoman, but I believe they can pull it off. Have Selina Kyle as an obsessive jewl thief who has cutting edge technology like Wayne, and a super-scientific suit to do here deeds. Have her suit be as intimidating as hell, and not cat-like in any way. The public should giver her that name because of how stealthy and nimble and mysterious she is. I can see nobody but Angelina Jolie playing the part. She is intimidating and sexy as hell…she and Nolan can pull it off, and take this film to a dark, interesting place.
Why does no-one realize that a) Angelina Jolie can’t act and b) she’s not that good-looking.
Catwoman isn’t a strong enough character to hold a movie by herself (one of the many reasons the Halle Berry fiasco occured) and if Angelina is put into Nolan’s trilogy, I have to fear for the worst.
I can see Jolie as Catwoman, totaly.
If she plays that role in a BATMAN movie made by Christopher Nolan it will be PERFECT! I think she’s the right actress…
But if they’re thinking of re-making Berry’s CATWOMAN well then I wouldnt like her to play it.
Kate Beckinsale has my vote if there has to be a Catwoman. She’s beautiful but there has always been something a little bit creepy about her, to me at least. I think that might translate well for the character.
Harvey Dent and Two Face BOTH DIED. It’s finished.
Nolan told Dent as a complete story with a tragic ending. He had his arc and it is done. If he comes back it will not be the nolans doing as I will bet you anything in their minds Dent and Two Face dies. If they were to cheaply bring him back and ruin the entire film of the dark knight it will be under studio or another directors orders.He is lying there lifeless with his good eye wide open.
Batman and Gordon stand around talking about what to say about him without tending to him or checking him out or saying “we have to get him to a hospital – secretly” because it is over. They can clearly see he is dead as can and should everyone in the audience.
Its almost the point of the film. All the themes that are running through the film are leading to that moment. Dents fall had to happen literally and figuratively.
jonathan nolans interview with creative screenplay magazine pretty much makes it clear, the novelization says he is dead and also he is lying with his eyes open. The classic movie death frozen stare. Hes dead. Dead I tell you.
hmm…there was a slight hint in TDK that catwoman might appear in the sequel:
*when talking about the new suit*
“Can it protect against dogs?”
“It can protect against cats”
It does worry me after the Halle Berry mess. However, I trust Nolan with anything now, so I’m open to the idea.
Warner Bros, nobody even wanted the FIRST Catwoman movie. Had nothing to do with Hale Berry – the movie was just bad. You could remake it with every single actress in the world and it wouldn’t get any better. Just lay off the Catwoman franchise and keep her in the Batman movies.
Besides, you’ve got Wonder Woman, The Flash, Green Lantern – maybe even Aquaman – all on the backburner. I don’t even read comic books and I know these are the guys you need to be making movies about.
And Homero – David Tennant as the Riddler? That just blew my mind. Awesome.
David Tennant as The Riddler would be painful. He would do his usual overacting and gurning. Ugh. Give me Sean Penn as a Zodiac type serial killer.
Did anyone think that Heath Ledger was going to rock in The Dark Knight before the trailer came out? I sure didn’t. All I was thinking was “why wasn’t Robin Williams contacted for this? Why does everyone kick older actors to the curb? Heath Ledger is too young for this, and he was in 10 Things I Hate About You.” Then the trailer came out, and most of my fears were put to rest. Now that I’ve seen the movie a few times, I can see no one but Heath Ledger playing the Joker.
If Christopher Nolan wants to use Angelina Jolie, Michelle Pheiffer, Halle Berry, Kate Beckinsale, or even (dare I say) Jessica Alba – puke – in the role of Catwoman, it will be amazing. He is a fantastic director. That’s all there is to it.
I am personally hoping for a Penguin, Catwoman, or Poison Ivy (can we give Uma Thurman another chance with a brilliant script?) storyline simply because I hate the Riddler, Mr. Freeze, and most of the other Batman villians. I don’t see Catwoman being able to stand alone as a villian since she is a good bad guy, but hey, if Nolan wants to go that route, it won’t stop me from seeing the movie… and it probably won’t stop many others.
Although I know I know sean penn is hardly mr underact but for some reason I just see Penn joining this series.
I would almost be happy if they didn’t make another. Dark Knight will be very hard to beat.
As long as they stay away from Robin!!!
What curves? Angelina is mostly just tits and lips… she has a THICK WAIST.
You heard it here first… Jolie for Catwoman and Paul Giamatti for Penguin. Perfect casting.
(Type your comment here. Make sure you’ve read the commenting rules before doing so)because halle berrys movie was so good that they just have to make another. i dont want to see another piece of shit catwoman movie but i agree with paul giamatti as the penguin. but what about the riddler or poison ivy. noland needs to take characters that we done poorly and do them justice.
I think Jolie should play every part in every movie until she dies. Not just female parts, but men, children, cars, aliens, cartoons, and toothbrushes. Just make every movie a monolouge with her.
@Kristina
“…She was a twig in Wanted….”
Yea, but she can still throw a punch and break you in two places ;)
We do all remember how Kate looked in the two Underworld films–Right???? Hands down for Ms. Beckinsale!
Tripp,
Geek Mode: ON.
As you brought up Kate, I would like to see Angelina & Kate duke it out in future Batman as:
Angelina: Catwoman
Kate: Huntress
Geek Mode:OFF.
Whew!
SAw Dark Knight again yesterday. I was wrong about dents eye being open. But the second viewing made it even more clear that he is definitely dead.
thats the last time I will rant about this. Just wanted to correct my mistake.
ummm I love the idea with Angelina Jolie being naked and her sexy body but not for Nolan’s movie !!!
What’s funny to me about this is I just left the theatre after Seeing the Dark Knight. We discussed things and the addition of characters in the next one.
My Friend brings up Catwoman. I say “It would be Alright if that damn film wasn’t made a few years ago. The only woman who can save the character has to be a good Actor first and attractive second, like Angelina.”
No doubt she’s amazing to look at but above all things she’s a fucking brilliant actor. Hands down if she took the role on she would Own it and SAVE Catwoman.
So I find it funny to come home and see this post on your blog.
If this is a true story that’s floating around the web. We have a little while to wait anyway. She just had Twins. She’ll need a lot of time to recover and then by that point, maybe the world will be ready for another Catwoman.
We should go back and remake every bad film, and put Angelina Jolie in it. That automatically makes it the best film ever. Like Batman 4. Use CGI to make Angelina Poison Ivy, and change nothing else. Then it will have been the best movie ever. OOOOH, make her Mister Freeze too, and Robin, and Batgirl. Angelina is the solution to all films. /sarcasm
keep this skank away from batman please!!!
Another vote for Kate Beckinsale!
Batman Begins was so well done that I had complete confidence when I heard that Heath Ledger was cast as The Joker.
Ditto for the inclusion of Catwoman. Nolan can make it work, and work well. I would definitely prefer that Angelina NOT get the role however. She really isn’t that good looking.
Michelle Pffeifer could STILL rock as catwoman, she is still hot 16 years later! Did nobody see her in Stardust?? she is simply THE BEST catwoman. And Remember….she didn’t die at the end of Batman Returns :-)
I really don’t want to see Catwoman in the next Batman film and I can’t see Angelina Jolie doing it. Catwoman just wouldn’t fit into Nolan’s universe, seriously, a woman who dresses up like a cat with a whip to fight crime. It took a large portion of Batman Begins to explain why Batman wears his costume but cats aren’t exactly scary.
