Halle Barry as Catwoman: July 23rd
 
I saw the promo last night. I MUST see this movie. :D

Patience Philips is a woman who can't seem to stop apologizing for her own existence. She works as a graphic designer for Hedare Beauty, a mammoth cosmetics company on the verge of releasing a revolutionary anti-aging product. When Patience inadvertently happens upon a dark secret her employer is hiding, she finds herself in the middle of a corporate conspiracy. What happens next changes Patience forever. In a mystical twist of fate, she is transformed into a woman with the strength, speed, agility and ultra-keen senses of a cat. With her newfound prowess and feline intuition, Patience becomes Catwoman, a sleek and stealthy creature balancing on the thin line between good and bad. Like any wildcat, she's dangerous, elusive and untamed. Her adventures are complicated by a burgeoning relationship with Tom Lone, a cop who has fallen for Patience but cannot shake his fascination with the mysterious Catwoman, who appears to be responsible for a string of crime sprees plaguing the city.

Girl, nevermind, I guess. I can't find the link I clicked on from MSN the other day. Maybe only internet sites pulled the trailer. The article made it seem like the movie was so bad they weren't going to release it. People crackin' on her costume. Haters. Anyway, if they played the preview on TV, it gotta be comin' out. I'll wait to see the preview.


SOROR, CLEAN OUT YOUR PM BOX!

I heard the same thing to. I also HEARD that she missed a major PR event for the movie because it was getting bad reviews and the movie was about to be pulled. But I cannot find the real true.

This is what I read in that article the other day!!!

AKA2D '91 05-21-2004 10:36 AM

From MSN Entertainment:

The Story: Forget everything you know about the mythology of Catwoman, 'cause you won't find Selina Kyle, Batman or Gotham here. Instead, the feline antiheroine is now graphic designer Patience Philips (Halle Berry), who goes from meek to me-yow! after a lethal run-in with her catty cosmetics-biz boss (Sharon Stone).
The Skinny: We were worried when we heard one-named Frenchman Pitof, whose sole credit is the Gerard Depardieu stinker "Vidocq," was directing this $100 million adaptation of the DC Comics icon. But true fear set in when we saw pics of Halle in the most ridiculous costume since Elvis hit Vegas (come on, no self-respecting superhero kicks ass in open-toed shoes). Internet chatter has "Catwoman" pegged as a "Gigli"-sized disaster, but even if doesn't turn out to be a giant hairball, we'd rather wait and cough up our hard-earned cash for next year's more traditional "Batman Begins."

...damn, Halle is getting it from all sides these days. But if she returns home to Cleveland to get her head right, I know where she can find a shoulder to cry on. :cool:

How supportive of you.

But, I heard the same thing. People are thinking it will be a disaster and she's not happy with it now.

Why does that mask seem to have so much headroom?

It seems as if my frail attempt at humor has failed to amuse you.

:p

I know that the mask holds a swollen ego. But I wanted to hear from the masses.

You got connections like DAT? :o ;) :o

....I'll pass! :p Thanks though! :D

AKA2D '91 05-21-2004 01:42 PM

LBF,

I was amused. I did chuckle. That's why I was :confused: because I THOUGHT YOU HAD ALL THE ANSWERS. Therefore, YOU could answer your OWN question. THAT'S ALL LOVE! :D

Okay, maybe I'm a stickler for details but this is really getting on my nerves with the Batman franchise. Not that I don't love Tommy Lee Jones but how exactly does he turn into Two-Face when Two-Face was the Asst DA who was originally played by Billy Dee Williams? I won't even touch the recasting of Batman cause that was one horror after another. I do know that there was a Black catwoman on the show but you can't top Eartha Kitt with Halle Berry's behind. On top of which they just made up a new damn story instead of reshooting her behind fighting with Max Shrek but then again Catwoman only has one life left after Batman Returns so what was the point of this movie?

A LOT of Batman fans feel the same way about the pointlessness of the movie. I heard the internet trailer was embarassingly bad so they pulled it.

People don't like it when you mess with classics- Selina Kyle is Catwoman, not Patience whoever. It's not about liking or disliking Halle Berry, people just don't like these changes.

UpPinkies 05-21-2004 05:47 PM

Halle will be on Oprah next week PRing the movie. So maybe the rumor is not true:confused:

Senusret I 05-21-2004 08:58 PM

First of all, Catwoman was always sexy, not slutty. What the hell is she wearing?

Second of all, um......who tha F is Patience? SELINA KYLE, mayun!!!!

Finally....what is the point of this movie, really? Why even use the Catwoman name for the flick, when it's not even part of the franchise, really?

starang21 05-22-2004 11:17 AM

outside of the outfit, it looks corny. catwoman as a good guy? WTF? i might catch just to see halle.

msn4med1975 05-22-2004 03:47 PM

She's supposed to be a good guy? Oh hell naw. Dollar movie rotation.

I agree with everyone's points. I want to shed some light on the Patience-Selina thing.

WB is trying to make an extension for Halle (superhero extension). It was suppose to be for the Jinx character in James Bond last film. But some how that may not come to light--not a good script, not a good plot, yada yada yada. The point is that Halle is trying to conquer all methods film but she, in my eyes, is not a great actress.

Personally, she would'nt have gotten in the genre if Iman wasn't pregnant and couldn't take the role of Storm. and Halle, though beautiful, didn't do Storm satisfaction.

Halle is film darling, she will get her way. She can just suggest films and she will get it.

They should've called in Purrwoman or the Woman Wearing Domintrax Outfit Shaped Like A Cat. As a conservative comic book geek, I'm outraged.

Nubian 07-26-2004 10:10 AM

Love Halle, hated the movie. I know you have to suspend belief sometimes but dayum, I can only go so far.

But at least that movie will get me back in the gym!

delph998 07-26-2004 12:11 PM

I'm surprised. I didn't see the movie, but I was surprised that it brought in $17 million this weekend vs. Bourne Supremacy. I'm going to support my girl though.

aopirose 07-26-2004 04:23 PM

I watched Ebert & Roeper last night. Ebert said that there were only three good things about this movie. These are Halle Berry's face, Halle Berry's body and Halle Berry's costume. The rest was a convoluted mess. I will wait until it comes on HBO.

SKEEphistAKAte 07-29-2004 11:50 AM

The trailers for this movie look really bootleg and low budget. I have no intention to see it. I was surprised that Halle was involved with a movie of this low caliber. When I heard she was starring in it months ago, I thought it would be put together like the Batman movies, but this movie looks pretty bad.

Her last movie was pretty bad. I watched Gothika and wonder why I wasted 1.5 hours of my life plus R32.50.

She has 6 new movies comming out for the next two years. Maybe she's milking her X-Men thing for all the money and not picking wise movies.

SKEEphistAKAte 08-01-2004 02:23 PM

They are saying she has the "Oscar Winner" curse.

exquizit 08-01-2004 05:53 PM

steppin outta the shadows.....
 
I took my daughetr to see it and she really enjoyed it. It really wasn't THAT bad......

Another one?

Nubian 08-06-2004 03:43 PM

One was plenty.

reddawn18 08-06-2004 04:57 PM

But hey, she will get her way and there will be another one.

Maybe that is why Angeline Jolie is making horrible movies? The oscar curse.
