[QUOTE="Villano, post: 921179, member: 505"] I was surfing around when I stumbled across this bit of news concerning the proposed new Catwoman movie. I've never heard this before, and I don't think it's been mentioned here: I had heard that Nicole Kidman was alledgedly connected for a time, and then when she wasn't able to commit, Judd was talked about. Last I heard, she still was. I guess she isn't now. Truthfully, when I first read this, I thought, "Wow, Halle Berry would be great as Catwoman!" The fact she is black didn't even occur to me (I was honestly too busy imagining what she'd look like in a Catwoman outfit, crawling around purring like Julie Newmar :D). I didn't have any doubts about her or the project until I decided to check out imdb.com (to see if there's been any changes since the above article appeared), and I saw this: "Patience Price"? She's searching for her father's killer? Last I remember, Catwoman was Selina Kyle, a catburglar. What's the point of making a movie about a character when you change everything about her but her name? I know the easy answer is that the studio bought "name recognition", but it just seems wrong to me. I understand the fact that they probably can't use Batman or any references to him, but you can still come up with a thousand stories that stick to the basic concept. Nightmare visions of the old Captain America tv movies are racing through my mind. [/QUOTE]
