Halle Berry ponders a "Catwoman 2"

[Ultimate Movie-Man]

And I rejoiced.

From Rotten Tomatoes:

"When asked in a recent interview if she'd be willing to sign on for a "Catwoman 2," Oscar-winning actress Halle Berry (http://www.rottentomatoes.com/p/halle_berry/) ... actually said something OTHER than "Are you kidding me?" or "Don't be insane." As a matter of fact, she actually sounded a little interested in the idea!!

Latino Review (http://www.latinoreview.com/news.php?id=554) has a brief interview segment with the lovely Ms. Berry, who's now making the press rounds for "X-Men: The Last Stand (http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/x_men_3_the_last_stand/)." When interviewer Kellvin Chavez got around to the "Catwoman (http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/catwoman/)" chatter, here's what Halle had to say:

"It was what it was but I know if we had a chance to do it again I know we'd make it better. We'll make a better story and have a better villain. I always thought we should've had a better villain than a woman who's face cracked off, but that's the past. I'm over it. (Laughs) But I would do it, I loved being Catwoman." replied Berry.

Berry continues "But if they seriously said 'We want to do another one and here's how we're going to make it better because we learned from the mistakes.' I would because I believe we could make it better. I think Catwoman is a great character that maybe wasn't presented in the right way."

So yeah. I agree with her, I would love a seuqel, but only if they had a better story and villain. Go deeper into patience's past and life, get rid of Tom lone though :o

[shinlyle]

Yeah.....'cause movie studios really jump at the oppurtunity to make sequels to films that lost them 55 million dollars....:rolleyes:

And couldn't you have just revived this thread:
http://www.superherohype.com/forums/showthread.php?t=225846

Damn. The movie flopped and they will never make a sequel. It's over. It was over almost two years ago. Move on.

[jaguarr]

LOFL! Never gonna happen. Berry will be a crinkled up bag of 70 year old has-beenery by the time they consider giving Catwoman another crack at the big screen. You people who perpetually hold out hope for a CINO sequel need to just let it go.

jag

[WOLVERINE25TH]

No, they'll never do a CINO sequel....but if they decided to make a REAL Catwoman movie, then I'm sure they would.

[Steelsheen]

maybe they should give Catwoman a rest for now. if they come up with a new film-- even if its about the origianl Catwomna Selina Kyle, most generic filmgoer will associate it with this flop.

[Infamy]

good god no! I did say that after I heard they were doing another Batman film after Batman and Robin...so hey you never know.

Catwoman : Begins...err again!

Obviously. This is one of the three people on these boards who can't smell what he's shovelling. The movie flopped, Halle has gotten nothing but grief over this film, and the fact that she would even consider doing another one brands her as stupid as the asanine lunatics that defend that piece of celluloid trash that we call CINO.

It. Lost. Fifty-Five. Million. Dollars. It's over.

The fact that anyone still holds out hope for a sequel to this craptastic piece of film is pathetic. The fact that they couldn't have just revived any of the past 10 threads about this awful-ass film makes it just stupid.

Let me spoil how this thread is going to go:

1) Someone starts a thread thinking all the "hidden" CINO fans will come out to support his/her/it's viewpoint on the film.

2) The first response is someone hating ont he first film and laughing at the prospect of a second film.

3) A few dozen people join the first responder in mocking the individual who began the thread.

4) One or two more losers (who will alter be revealed to be the same poster under different screennames) will show up and attempt to pass off opinions as facts.

5) Shinlyle and the Haturz League will throw out cold hard facts to disprove everything the CINO-lovers have to say.

6) Childish insults will be thrown out by the CINO-lovers.

7) Viscious, brutal insults will be launched by the haturz.

8 ) The thread then dies, as the CINO-lovers go off to lick their wounds and wait for some other website to mention CINO so tha tthey can start the process all over again.


Why don't we skip all that, and let this thread die, and the two CINO supporters can go back to watching Monster's Ball again.

Those were the good old days :(

[CConn]

So? :confused: Halle Berry is just expressing her disappointment over the critical and financial failure of CINO, and would like to correct the mistake. I can respect the want to do good by the fans and public - I'd obviously never want to see a Patience Phillips Catwoman on the screen again - but I can respect it.

[Spike_x1]

Note to self: Buy Halle Berry a helmet.

[Ultimate Movie-Man]

A good one too :o

[Ultimate Movie-Man]

Anyway, it's not ME or WARNER BROS. wh exactly wants to do the film per se, this thread is just about halle wanting to do a sequel

[Motown Marvel]

didnt that thingy make her swear and write on a board that she'd never do catwoman 2....you know what im talking about....

[Ultimate Movie-Man]

Actually I don't but these ar eher words saying she loved playing Catwoman and would like to do it again.,

[blind_fury]

Halle Berry destroys comic book characters for fun. She's truly evil. :(

[Ultimate Movie-Man]

She didn't destroy Storm. Anyways, her job is to act out what the writers write, so technically, the writers ruined Catwoman.

Nothing wrong with Storm.

[cabel]

Berry continues "But if they seriously said 'We want to do another one and here's how we're going to make it better because we learned from the mistakes.' I would because I believe we could make it better. I think Catwoman is a great character that maybe wasn't presented in the right way."


WRONG! Selina Kyle is an interesting character. Not this Paitence Phillips broad they made up.

[shinlyle]

You know....I never really had anythign against Halle Berry. She's fine as hell, she's done some good films. and the writers, directors, and the producer made Catwoman the crap-fest it was....but this is the last straw. She is an imbecile. Period.

The film lost 55 million dollars, she has been ragged on for it since it's release at the Academy Awards, The Razzies, and that awards show where they made her pledge to never do another Catwoman film. If she doesn't get the fact that NO ONE wants to see her do a sequel to this film by now, then she's never gonna get it. It's been nearly two years since the film flopped like an obese kid off the high-dive, and she's still willing to entertain the though of doing a sequel?!

She is officially stupid. Hell, "Gothika 2" sounds like a better idea than a "Catwoman 2"! I fully expected her to make a sequel to "B.A.P.S (Black American Princesses)" long before she ever though of doing a Catwoman 2....

Ugh....why are the pretty ones so dumb?

If we must

[Philly Phanboy]

Can you blame her? Halle is desperate for another franchise to keep the paychecks coming in.

The James Bond "Jinx" spinoff never happened.

The Storm solo movie spinoff never happened.

Catwoman is her only viable option. No self-respecting studio exec would ever greenlight another movie, but I wonder if she could bankroll a sequel by herself. :O

[Chris Wallace]

1-it's Not A Viable Option If The Movie Tanked & Nobody Wants A Sequel.
2-it Would Be Sheer Stupidity For Her To Put Her Own Money Into It. Plus, It Can Damage Her Credibility & Kill Any Chance Of Her Getting Any Other Franchises.
3-Storm Could Still Happen, Depending On How X3 Goes.

[Rac]

Halle, you could never make it better. 'cause Catwoman ain't black, sis. And her name is Selina Kyle.

[Ultimate Movie-Man]

Look, I have no problem with them changing the character. I just think the story sucks. But it would have made sense, instead of Ophelia Powers teaching Patience the way of the catwoman, it was Selina Kyle teaching Patience to be a Catwoman.
Then they should have gotten Julie Newmar or someone from the TV show to accentuate the wiseness.

I forgot they were going to make a Jinx spin-off...they got jinxed (sorry).

A storm spin off would be awesome, and then we could have our RoLo!!

[bengali]

I have to say that I am not a real big Halley fan. And I have to say that I liked Michelle Pfieffer's evil catwoman to Halley's semi good one! Had to be said!

[Ultimate Movie-Man]

So you're saying...you didn't like Halle's Catwoman? Or are you saying you liked her, but not as much as Michelle Pfeiffer's? Even though I like Catwoman and Halle's sexy but somewhat lacing performance (teehee) no-one can go as sexy without being vulgar as Michelle Pfeiffer. She should have been in the third one, dammit! Now, Batman 3, directed by Tim Burton.

[CoreyIAN]

I love halle but the thing is Halle can't headline a movie on her own.

x men is an ensemble movie while die another day is a bond flick.

Hey Spike, jag, and shinlyle, since the Haturz League is doing basically nothing right now, how would you guys like to join Shadaloo West?

Catwoman 2, that will be made shortly after Gigli 2 is made, which will be made shortly after Hell freezes over.

Oh, yeah. Better to continue on w/a failed franchise that nobody wants to keep making rather than return to a successful franchise because not everybody liked your performance therein.
That post makes no sense.

Lord Bison said I could recruit anyone from the Hype, even outside of the Community, you're name will just be added to his sig, saying that you're a member of Shadaloo. Like I said, you really don't have to do anything at all.

If you do decide to join, PM E. Bison telling him that I recommended you to join.

Halle Berry said on the record that Catwoman was the only comic book movie sequel she wanted to do.

[Ultimate Movie-Man]

I had a dream they made a seuqel, with Poison ivy, and her costume was sexy as, as well as Catwoman's. It was a different one from the first film, and had hair flowing out of it.

it was hot.

[warren_sparta27]

Patience is NOT catwoman
Halle Berry is NOT catwoman
i thought we were trying to forget this rubbish.

[Ultimate Movie-Man]

You were.

But you missed one of the points, however poorly written, it was still a point. The reason it's Patience Phillips is because she's one of a long line of catwomen, including Selina. I have said it before and I will say it again: Ophelia is the one that shouldn't exist...Selina should have given her guidance isntead of some crackpot we didn't know.

[warren_sparta27]

really?
that's makes things even worse.
i only watched half the film, i couldn't stand it any longer :(

[Ultimate Movie-Man]

Fair enough. But I still think it would have made sense, even if it was a wrong move.

Meh, it's great eye candy. Got me into Sharon Stone :up:

I'm not too good about being in groups, man. The Haturz League kind of formed itself, and I was there fromt he beginning, so I'm in that group for life.

I hate going to community. Hate it. I'd rather shave my testes and dip them in Texas Pete hot sauce. Too much politicin' and too many rivalries. Also, I'm just too angry and too much of a smartass to visit there without turning every thread into a 24/7 flame war....which, from my experience, is most of the community forum anyways.

I appreciate the invite, but if I have to be in the group, consider me the "Homeland Security Branch of Shadaloo", or the "Shadaloo Reserves".

That'd be fine for me. Also, I don't answer to anyone, so if this means someone thinks they can tell me what to do, then no way in freakin' hell! ;)

This movie doesn't take place in a comtinuity where Selina Kyle, Batman or Gotham City exist.

[Chris Wallace]

Halle Berry said on the record that Catwoman was the only comic book movie sequel she wanted to do.
1-That was BEFORE the movie flopped, when she thought the franchise had a future.
2-She's also said on the record that she wanted a meatier part in the X-Men films. Even if she only had 10 minutes of screen time, she wanted those 10 minutes to mean something.
3-The problem w/being a public figure is that you make public statements, which you may later have to recant, at your own peril. Oprah publicly defended Jim Frey, did she not? Was that not on the record? Michael Jordan said on the record that he was retiring from basketball in 1994, 1997....

[Ultimate Movie-Man]

This movie doesn't take place in a comtinuity where Selina Kyle, Batman or Gotham City exist.

True. But it just would have made sense, do you get what I'm saying? Like if instead of Ophelia Powers, it was Selina Kyle. Then the line of Catwomen would be more plausible and more accepted.

[jaguarr]

Quit trying to rationalize the good points of this film, because there were none. If you want to see Sharon Stone be nasty, go rent "Basic Instinct:. If you want to see Halle Berry be nasty, go rent "Monster's Ball". Hot actresses to not automatically equal a good film. The writing, acting, direction, costume design, set design, CGI, fight coreography, dialogue and everything else about this movie were substandard at BEST.

jag

[Chris Wallace]

True. But it just would have made sense, do you get what I'm saying? Like if instead of Ophelia Powers, it was Selina Kyle. Then the line of Catwomen would be more plausible and more accepted.
No, it wouldn't have. Selina Kyle didn't get bitten by a magic cat & join a secret society of Catwomen. If anything it would've been a bigger slap in the face to put her in this debacle at all. As it is, at least DC could distance themselves from it.

[Ultimate Movie-Man]

Oh yeah, but I liked the style of the film, the colour pallette, the green against yellow, the aquas and stuff (especially at the end with the moon).

The writing needed improvement, the acting was passable, razzie winning, but passable, the direction went haywire, the costume design I actually like, with the exception of that stupid helmet, the set design...meh, though, if Halburg's existed I'd go there, 100% agree about the CGI, but it was on par with SOME CGI in Spider-Man 1, the fight choreography, I won't even touch on, I don't really care, as long as they are flipping around in the air kick each other's ass I'm cool with that, the dialogue was crappy, but Alex Borsteing was cool to have in it, and Lance (the gay guy) was also a nice addition. He has a MUCH bigger role in the book...well, not MUCH bigger, but he's def. friends with Patience more in the book than in the film.

[jaguarr]

Acting that wins a Razzie is not passable. Sorry.

jag

[Ultimate Movie-Man]

Since when did you become the leader of the world? I thought George W Bush did that :o

When did he get assassinated?

[jaguarr]

Instead of making weak attempts at insulting me, why don't you try explaining your position that seems to be that acting that actually wins a Razzie (and is so bad that the person who won the Razzie for said bad acting actually feels compelled to show up at the Razzies ceremony to accept the award as a way of trying to save face for such a terrible performance) can be passable?

Cheers,

[Ultimate Movie-Man]

Sorry I'm just tired.

Look, I look at the film Catwoman and just see silly silly silly. But fun silly. I don't take it seriosuly at all, I just watch it for ****s and giggles and honestly don't get why everyone has to keep trying to bury the film in the past.

Whatever. I need some shut eye.

[jaguarr]

Most of the people that you'll encounter on this site are fans of the original comic to one extent or another, which CINO completely disses on in every way imaginable. So, they're offended by it. Moreover, it's just a bad movie by any movie-making standards. Even the star of the film has publically acknowledged that. THAT'S why most people just want it to fade away into oblivion and why people who bring it up again usually get jumped by an angry mob.

[Chris Wallace]

Halle Berry said on the record that Catwoman was the only comic book movie sequel she wanted to do.
I won't lie; I was kinda hoping she wouldn't come back b/c there are at least 5 other actresses who I thought were more suitable for the role. But in all likelihood we wouldn't have gotten one of them; we'd have gotten somebody less fitting. And her performance wasn't bad; it wasn't great but it wasn't bad. Plus, her return adds a sense of continuity to the films, one of many things missing from the previous Batman series, which contributed to its downfall.

Exactly. This film gets brought up in a new thread every couple of months. Someone starts talking about how it needs a sequel, and we all shoot it down quickly, before the usual trolls arive (looks at dnno1's posts in another thread...).

I love the character, I've read the comics for a long time....this film is the ANTI-Catwoman. Yes, alot of films take liberties with the characters, Spider-man, Batman, Superman, and they turn out great, but to totally disregard all information about the character aside from the name is going to result in a crappy movie that no one can recognize. And yes, fans will HATE IT.

Batman Returns, if you ask most people here, is pretty well-recieved, despite obvious incongruencies with the comic characters....simply because it still held some basic truths.

[Spike_x1]

Halle Berry said on the record that Catwoman was the only comic book movie sequel she wanted to do.The only problem with that statement is that her version of Catwoman wasn't actually a comic book movie, in that it wasn't based on any pre-existing comic book or comic book character.

[Comicfan]

And I rejoiced.

From Rotten Tomatoes:

"When asked in a recent interview if she'd be willing to sign on for a "Catwoman 2," Oscar-winning actress Halle Berry (http://www.rottentomatoes.com/p/halle_berry/) ... actually said something OTHER than "Are you kidding me?" or "Don't be insane."

When interviewer Kellvin Chavez got around to the "Catwoman (http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/catwoman/)" chatter, here's what Halle had to say:

"It was what it was but I know if we had a chance to do it again I know we'd make it better. We'll make a better story and have a better villain. I always thought we should've had a better villain than a woman who's face cracked off, but that's the past. I'm over it. (Laughs) But I would do it, I loved being Catwoman." replied Berry.

Berry continues "But if they seriously said 'We want to do another one and here's how we're going to make it better because we learned from the mistakes.' I would because I believe we could make it better. I think Catwoman is a great character that maybe wasn't presented in the right way."

"Catwoman 2?! Now that's funny!!"

[ultimatefan]

You know what, Catwoman was treated like it was gonna be the ultimate crappy superhero movie... and in the end it´s just another bad one, like so many that came before it... At least it doesn´t try to pretend it´s actually true to the tone and style of the comics, which is more than I can say for Fantastic Four or Elektra...
