Halle Berry looking much better in so-called CATWOMAN movie

Published at:  Nov 28, 2003 8:29:37 AM CST

Hey folks, Harry here... As horribly ridiculous as the earliest RELEASED photos of CATWOMAN have been, the papparazzi photos have been much better. Check out the link below - as much as I dislike the plot and that one Catwoman costume, I'm very curious to see the film as I love the style that the director shot VIDOCQ with, and am very curious how that energy will transfer to this. While at THE SUN, whatever you do, don't waste half your day clicking through the PAGE 3 section... Don't, you'll get chafed!





just a link for the phots from our english paper 'the sun' of Halle berry on a ducati

Enjoy


Love the site, Love the book


Keep up the good work

    The new costume looks somewhat better than that awful looking hooker costume, but she nees to ware a mask with cat ears if she's going to be called "Catwoman". Either way, I'm still not interested. Selina Kyle will always be Catwoman in my book.

    Is she going to an award show in that leather outfit or something? Can someone name an element of this shot that makes it appear that she is Catwoman? Or is she supposed to be in "secret identity" mode in these shots?

    In 2001 I was working on a TV series and the script for Catwoman was tossed to me by my boss. "Give this a read, let me know what you think," he said. So I did. After three pages, I was rolling my eyes. It was ludicrous, lame, and lacking. I hope to God they rewrote this fucker. It's a shame we live in times where Oscar winners cash in on their glory by appearing in lame-o comic book movies. Is it too much to ask for them to write the damn things properly????

    by gere's assgerbil

    That'd really be some cool news. This thing's stinking like doggy diarrhea so far, but it'll be interesting to see how it's marketed. They've already succeeded in alienating comic book fans as well as fans of the Michelle Pfeiffer character from Batman Returns. Is the general public really going to want to see this? Anyone else remember before the first X-Men came out how she was bitching that there were no good roles for women out there and she was being forced to take a part in a stupid superhero movie? Now that she's won her Oscar she could have just about any role she wants, and she chooses Catwoman. The woman is nuts. She's gonna have to go full frontal for a good chunk of this movie for me to pay money to see it.

    by riskebiz

    That's just a leather biker outfit (for her motorbike ride) that she's wearing and it more than likely has absolutely ZERO to do with an actual Catwoman costume. I'm afraid that it's still that terrible piece of crap costume that was on the web a while ago. They are hoping to stem the loud negative feedback on that first released costume by putting out these red-herrings, but these images ... like this one she's wearing on the motorbike are not Catwoman costumes. Just because it's leather does not make it a costume for when she's Catwoman.

    I can't understand why Hollywood has to keep ripping off the costumes when it comes to action, and sci-fi movies. It was fine with the X-Men, but not every superheroe has to wear black leather! If they did, how the hell can we tell them apart?!? Hollywood also needs to understand that not every action, or sci-fi movie has to have "bullet time" in it! That's starting to get old, and has lost all of it's novltey the minute they tried to copy it.

    by jocutus

    When he said "she still isn't Catwoman" I think he was referring to the fact that this so-called Catwoman and this movie have no relation to the well-known Selina Kyle/ Catwoman character from the Batman comics & movie "Batman Returns". I think that people have a legitimate criticism when they point out this bone-headed idea. I would rather just have HB take over the original character. They could just as well call this movie "Wonder Woman" and remove the ears from her costume since the story bares so little resmblance to the source material. They've taken a title that people thnk they understand and made the actual contect as generic as possible for no good reason. I don't think the complaint is as much about race as it is about hese underlying issues.

    by timbenzedrine

    Let me clarify my previous post. The character that Halle Barry the actress is playing is NOT the character created several decades ago by DC comics, but rather some new character, with a new history and alias who just happens to call herself Catwoman. This deception is being foisted upon us by a studio that figures we the ticket buying public will not know the difference. It is you, SeeThroughThis, that has chosen to make this an argument about race, not me. Although similar objections may have been raised on other occations regarding other film properties, they were never made by me. It matters little to me whether the actress portraying this or any other fictional character is black, white, asian, latina, native american, or any combination thereof. As it has already been pointed out, the DC character has already been portrayed by a woman of color and no one seemed to mind THEN. She was still the same character. Important elements of her personality were not jettisoned wholesale in order to create some new character with a familiar name. This is what most people are reacting negatively to. Lastly, I really object to your automatically labeling me a racist strictly on your perception of a difference of opinion. You completely misread my statement.

    by screenplaywriter

    "The Matrix" copycatting of costumes, fight scenes, and bullet time IS getting old. I mean do we not live in a real world where a punch is not fast anymore, but a draggy-slow-motion one that knocks people 20ft into walls? I mean it works for a un-surreal world known as "THE MATRIX", but here in regular world a punch means you spill blood, or lose a tooth, or you get knocked out cold. I'm sick of Hollywood using leather for everything just to dignify, or make a character look badass. If the character can fight and take names doing it, than they're badass, it isn't the suit, the costume, or whatever that makes them look badass. Look at the first "MEN IN BLACK" Will Smith claims he makes the suit look good, yes, the suit made him look like the president's security guards, but once he faced that bug he did shit for nothing.

    As far as this "CATWOMAN" film it'll probably be a flop and here's why.

    1. Sharon Stone and Halle Berry can't hold a movie on their own. Look at "Gothika" and "Cold Creek Manor" poor excuses of their talent. They work better as supporting actresses.

    2. Benjamin Bratt has done nothing praise-worthy in awhile now.

    3. The plot Catwoman vs. a cosmetic's company is just *blah* but if this cosmetics company were the ones that created Clayface and if Clayface was in this, maybe it might be good, but since they never thought of that I expect another stinky box office for another stinky Halle film.

    by duane106

    A real Catwomanfan would know that the thief currently wears a black leather outfit in her self-titled comic. As for the movie,I really wasn't paying attention to "Catwoman" until Halle Berry was announced as the lead. Let's face it: Catwoman is just a sure-fire fuck buddy for Batman if he didn't let the "honor and duty" thing get in the way. Poison Ivy, Talia (Ra's Al Ghul's daughter) and even Harley Quinn are more fascinating female Bat-villains. So, if I do see "Catwoman," it will be a "just for the hell of it" pick. My indifference would explain why I don't view the changes to Catwoman's outfit as a sign of the Apocalypse. (Personally, I think every teenage male in America will show up at the movie just to see Halle in a cleavage-heavy, skintight outfit.)

    This film project is worthless and I have no idea what Berry is thinking. Wizard magazine confirmed a rumor I heard about this film. The article on CATWOMAN stated this film has nothing to do with the Batman comic book character at all and it's entirely a different story from the ground up that rips off just the cool aspects of the Catwoman character from the comics. Why?!?

    by rain_dog

    No she wasn't, and yes we do, dicksmoke. Miller's Catwoman in Y1 was, hardly surprisingly, the same Catwoman as appeared in DKR - in which she was white with a pink rinse and around 150 extra pounds (fortunately she didn't wear the Catwoman costume, although the Joker did dress her in a rather fetching Wonder Woman outfit at one point). The idea of the two books was to bookend Batman's history, so it makes sense that the characters would be the same, yeah? Or haven't you read the books you gave everyone shit for not having read? But before SeeThroughThis gets started on me too, I'm not saying that made her a better character, nor am I making a heavily veiled and diabolically subtle plea for the return of slavery and segregation, just pointing out a fact in response to a rather unnecessarily insulting post. I'd be fine with Halle Berry as Catwoman if a) she wasn't an apallingly mediocre actor and b) the script was actually about the character Catwoman as established by forty odd years of DC continuity, or at least a reasonable approximation thereof.

    Halle Berry.

    by jacknifejohnny

    Before her rise to the A-list I can't really say that I was impressed w/ Berry beyond a masturbatory level, but now she does kind of annoy me. It all stems from her openly insulting interview, where she derides excited "X-Men" fans by taking a verbal shit on the comic medium, and then half-assing her admittedly underwritten performance(maybe purposefully lacking in substance as a response to her lack of enthusiasm).
    Then shoving more shit down our throats when the film hits big and makes her a part of a resurfacing pop-culture craze(the comic-book film)that she's all too quick to take advantage of (Catwoman)and pretend the rest of her bitching and moaning never took place. Usually I'm not too concerned w/ how filmmakers/actors view their projects, afterall it's the final product that counts, and it's all about illusion right? Yet Berry somehow gets to me because she's only had three decent roles where she's excelled (Jungle Fever, Monster's Ball, Dorothy Dandridge)then she totally fucking sleepwalks through any other gig she gets, and acts like the zenith of career accomplishment. That's why you have to love guys like Jon Voight or Don Cheadle (her wonderful Swordfish co-star), those guys who aren't exactly A-list (in Voight's case, former A-list)but put in some great character work because they have work ethic and never play as if they are above the material regardless of their personal opinion.
    Sadly, Berry can't seem to grasp this; and before long a shitload more people are going to start noticing her habitual snobbery, and quickly lose interest in her work.




    p.s., Angela Bassett & others had some unkind words to say about Berry after her Oscar win that didn't have anything to do w/ my problem w/ her, and that seemed more like sour grapes instead of any honest criticism. Bassett came off like a resentful "could've been" so in defense of Berry, Bassett can go fuck herself!

    Catwoman's outfit is not a ripoff of Matrix, you jackasses...

    by mr. waturi

    Catwoman (and her costume design) was around long before Trinity. One could accuse Agent Smith's costume of being a ripoff of "Reservoir Dogs." And for the record, I'm tired of hearing how "every outfit is black leather." Trinity's outfit is PVC, not leather- and Kate Beckinsale's catsuit in "Underworld" was latex. As for Halle Berry's costume, Catwoman should always be in a simple skintight black leather catsuit. Why they felt the need to change it is beyond me. I, for one, will never get tired of seeing hot women in skintight black leather. What would you shitheads prefer to see her in? Spandex? A bikini?

    $6 helmet?

    by holly_wight

    Dude- If you know where to get a motorcycle helmet for $6.00 you let me know, because I've never seen one under $30.00 and it was crappy. I wouldn't know about Wal-Mart- I don't shop in the Evil Empire, and frankly I think anyone who supports Wal-Mart is a traitor to the human race. As for Halle- She's a nasty, annoying, bitchy bad actress. I despise here. This isn't about whether or not she's hot. I think she's hot, but her attitude makes he very unappealing. As to the matter of a black person playing a white character, all I have to say is that black people would go crazy and protest like mad if someone cast a white man as Blade, or if they cast a Chinese man as Shaft. It's not about racism, and it's insulting to say that it is. It's about being true to the creator's vision. The character was created a certain way, and altering it is shitting on decades of tradition and creativity. Bishop shouldn't be white, right? Why the double-standard? Why is it OK to make a white character into a black character, but it's NOT OK to make a black character into a white character? There is no racism in remaining true to a long-established character. I'm sorry if people have such a chip on their shoulder as to scream "RACISM! RACISM!!!" whenever they feel like they are being denied something, but the fact is I can't lay blame on anyone for saying "Kingpin should have been white" because he was, in the book, white for decades. Suddenly casting him as a black man DID change the character (not that it mattered, mind you- the movie was still crap). Catwoman has been played by a black woman, and so there's some precedent for Halle being cast--- But this is all moot, as they aren't really making a Catwoman movie, but making a movie about a woman who calls herself "catwoman". There IS a difference. In closing, if you are all so certain it's racism, then let's see you make the NAACP sit still while we cast a white man as Sonny in the Miami Vice movie. They'll scream racism at THAT, too- And I'm sorry but you can't have it BOTH WAYS. You can't say it IS racism when it's a black character being re-cast as white, but it's NOT if it's a white character being re-cast as black. Which is it?

    You are correct. Rico was the darker-complected of the two (though not by much). I guess that shows you how much of a Miami Vice fan I was..! I stand corrected, but the point still stands.

    Showgirls 2: VerWHOREvan's Revenge

    by still_jackson

    okay, maybe it's just little old me, but are other geeks experiencing hardcore vomit-inducing flashbakcs over these pics? Not only is Halle's Storm character the most comatose of the X-Men, but now this disgrace of an ensemble looks like it was strewn together from the wardrobe department of Showgirls and the fisting scene in Cruising. Even the moterbike evokes wretched memories of the labotomy-inspiring finale of Staying Alive. I think I speak on behalf of all virgin talkback geeks who live in their mommy's basement when I say I preferred what Miss Berry wore in Swordfish.... Thanks Harry.

    Um... You DO realize this is a gimmick, don't ya'?

    by mr35mm

    According to the horse's mouth, Warner Brothers, all these films based on the comic franchises are 'toy movies' That's all, and it's a shame that they have to skewer classic characters to reach more broad audiences and try to give this illusion of being politically innovative. It's just stupid. What say we make a white Shaft or perhaps a wheelchair-bound Flash Gordon? Next thing you know they'll make Fritz the cat a giraffe.

    Actually this film could be view as a bunch of racial patronizing liberal trash as it

    Because I've read the crappy script and Helle Berry is talentless skank. I wish our tabloids had pictures of naked chicks in them. All we have is bizarre shots of Michael Jackson and Rosie O'Fatso.

    It's a sad day...

    by thomas_tudbury

    ... when somebody is actually quoting "The Sun" newspaper as though it is a legitimate source of movie information.

    I remember in 1988/89 when they printed an 'exclusive' regarding the, at the time, upcoming "Batman" film saying that Jerry Hall was playing Catwoman, Elton John was playing the Joker's sidekick and that the film was going to be a horror film with an 18 certificate. Ah, we did laugh when the film came out.

    Bunch of clowns!

    by ouagadougou

    Overblown pretentious style and editing.

    If it's like that, it'll be another movie, like so many this year, where the Director has gotten overexcited with the toys available to him, at the expense of a good story.

    Halle Berry's Catwoman

    by ungwendil

    Actually, even though I prefer this over what I saw previously, I can't say that I like it. Possibly - actually I am fairly certain - because I do not like Halle Berry all that much.

    (why am I making a remark like this without providing a foundation? Because it's a gut-feeling)

    Holly Wight, sound argument

    by hud

    if you leave "Othello" out of the equation. In any event, as a black person m'self, I'm happy to see them giving a sister a chance, but I didn't want to see Eartha Kitt substitute for my beloved Julie Newmar (the ONLY Catwoman), and I'm similarly miffed that the part is now being essayed by Halle rather than the naturally feline, suitably kinky Angelina Jolie. The thought of her with claws is more than mere flesh can bear.

  • But she is a hot mixed chick non the less.

    Reply to Talkback

  • If I could make a kick ass chick character i would not chose black leather cause who actually uses black leather that needs to a full range of movement. Martial Artist dont use black leather or REAL cat burgulers...jezz. Besides, I'd rather see hally in a tight (form fitting) spandex than played out leather dammit!

    Sorry, this is Michelle Pfieffer's character

    by stsdata

    She was hotter, and is arguably a better actor.

    We're making remakes of remakes now. What I wouldn't give for an original idea to come out of Hollywood.

    We thought we had it with the Matrix... but those whacky bizzaro bros. screwed it up.

    by daryl van horn

    People still don't get it. This is just something ELSE she ALSO wears in the course of the movie. It's not THE costume. Secondly why am I writing this because this whole project stinks from top to bottom so far, and lastly STOP YELLING 'MATRIX' EVERY TIME YOU SEE LEATHER OR VINYL! Those clothes existed WAY before the Matrix and not every movie that has those fabrics IN it is a Matix rip off! IT'S JUST LEATHER!

    Chill, guys!

    by aston lad

    Whatever performance Halle gives in this picture, it can't POSSIBLY be worse than Charlie's Angels (the first one). I FINALLY got round to seeing that film last weekend, having put it off for 3 years cos i thought the trailer looked so awful. I now know I was right to do so...and they say its better than the second! Think I'll skip the sequel, then...My point is, the next film about a hot chick in skimpy or tight outfits who get to kick ass can't possibly be worse than the stuff we've had so far (i.e. Barb Wire, Tomb Raider and Charlies Angels). We've hit rock bottom with those 3 and the only way is up. So lets wait til it comes out before we blast it. Oh, and by the way, since Stone's too old to be a sex symbol now, isn't it cool to cast her as the villainess to Berry? A sort of passing on of the torch if you will...

  • i really want to see Halle in this role, like everyone else, but somehow, i don't think the direction she has been shown looks proper... maybe with some acting dialogue clips ill be more convinced, but by those photos, i feel like im looking at my old jr high group photos of girls in cat costumes :(
