Oh, be still my heart. Today my travels around the Internet have brought about a new Angelina Jolie movie rumor, although it’s still unconfirmed and nothing has been said about when this movie role would happen. Allegedly, there’s some talk about having Angelina Jolie play Catwoman in some future Batman film.
I can’t tell you how insanely happy that would make me. I’ve seen all the Batman movies except the new one (it’s on my list of course), but as much as I love Batman, I love Catwoman more. She’s long been my favorite superhero/villain character. I loved Michelle Pfeiffer in the role, she really brought out the sex appeal of the character. I haven’t seen the movie with Halle Berry though I heard several people say she did it well. My problem with both Michelle and Halle is that I don’t really see them as action stars (although Halle was killer in the X-Men movie).
On the other hand, Angelina is sex appeal personified and on top of that she’s an established action star. I really think she could play the heck out of Catwoman.
According to this site, Julie Newmar, who was the original Catwoman (and pictured above) said, “Angelina would own the part. My industry friends tell me she has already made enquiries about the role.”
Like I said, nothing has been confirmed yet, and since the latest Batman is just in theaters now, it wouldn’t be for awhile I guess. She has a lot on her plate right now with her kids and any possible obligations for film promotion (premieres) coming up with the release of Changeling. Also, according to IMDB (which is not always reliable, so take it with a grain of salt), she’s set to play a part in a movie in 2009.
But I would love it so much if it was true and I could eventually see Angelina Jolie playing Catwoman. She would be so perfect for the role.
What do you think?
(Unrelated to this news, I wanted to let you all know that I have put up a guideline as to the comment policy here at PittWatch since I get so many questions about it, especially with the influx of new readers lately who aren’t sure how it all works. You can read it and leave comments over there with any questions you might have.)

Just for your FYI, Halle got the ? pudding award for worst film for Catwoman that year. It did not get good reviews and very low box office returns. I think I would prefer another Lara Croft movie too.

It’s again likely all rumours, even the assertion that Angie was inquiring about the role. I do think Angie would be a great Catwoman, although I think she’ll need to fill in a bit to take this part. She’s a good actress and can handle this kind of role, besides, it sounds like a fun role.

I’m warming up to the idea despite the apparent hostility the idea first got (probably a defensive reaction on my part) from the many haters who seemed to be the first ones to jump on the story. I just hope if it does happen her costume isn’t latex. The ONLY time I thought latex looked sexy (and I include Mr. and Mrs. Smith) was when Michelle wore that very excellent design.

IMHO I think that there are far better roles awaiting our sweet AJ. I do hope she and BP produce and direct more. At this stage of their lives and with all the kids…my bet is that they only take roles that expand them professionally, and Catwoman does not.

hmmmm well I certainly think Angelina could play this part very well and I think do the part well, like Heath Ledger did the Joker. The role of Catwoman would have to be played very dark, not campy. I’m not sure where they want to take the next movie, if there is one. I do agree, I would love to see Angie do TR3.
cheers all!

Just bringing over from the previous thread for clarification:

Lylian, I disagree. This disrespectful and seedy invasion of B&A’s privacy is not motivated by Angie’s openess.
>>>>>>>>>>>>
I didn’t say this. Victoria I think did.
I actually agree with posters who say that Angelina’s candour doesn’t have to anything to do with the intrusion into their private lives now. After all, the fact that Gwyneth and Chris don’t show up anywhere together doesn’t stop the speculation on their marriage. The fact that some celebs invite people into their homes (Ever see Hello??) doesn’t stop readers like me from skipping past those articles coz I’m bored!!!

With her beautiful feline features and feisty attitude Angelina would make a great catwoman! I’d like to see that..

I was on another thread and some people were thinking that they would choose Megan Fox. I know that some think she is the next jolie, but to me she has a long way to go. Anyway, FX is showing M&MS again. The movie must be really popular it is shown a lot. Well after watching it again for the 50th time I can’t see anyone else as Catwoman. I hope Angie does not loose too much weight. I don’t want to hear or read the stories that will follow.

she’d be the most prettiest and hottest catwoman if ever she’ll really play that role but i think it would be odd to see her do that kind of role, i mean, i would love to see her in Batman movie but a different character, something less obvious. are there any other women in Batman though? please don’t hate me. lol.

The absolute best Catwoman ever, ever, ever was Eartha Kitt. She had the perfect voice for the role, for she did not have to work hard at it–her “cat” voice was not forced. Also, she was terribly sexy in the role [on the television show].
Orson Welles said of Eartha Kitt that she was the most exciting woman that he had ever met.

Hey …. If this will be true, then it would be great. I like Michelle Pfeiffer as Catwoman but I also agree that Angie will be great and definitely kill the role and claim it as hers if anyone dares to do it with her as Catwoman. Another Lara Croft is also what I’m waiting and waiting for. I’m a big fan of Angie as in action movie. LOVE her in Action than other roles, though she’s great in all kinds of role. Hope this Catwoman movie will be real soon plus new Lara Croft.

I kind of remember that Halle’s version is a Catwoman movie….Catwoman lead the movie, not a Batman movie so it’s not necessary that the one Angie has to be in a Batman version. Agree??? She can make it big by herself as Catwoman, right guys??
Here’s the wikipedia’s Catwoman’s movie, Halle’s version: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catwoman_%28film%29

I think she would be great too but IMO there is no truth to this rumor. How would Julie Newmar know anything? Script is at least a year off, then there’s everything else to consider.
Fun facts: Julie Newmar & Halle Berry are both Leos. Catwomen indeed.

Love your name, Jsilverheels. “What do you mean WE, Kemosabe?”
Boogaloobaby, welcome back. Eartha Kitt is #1 Catwoman on my list.
(Still lobbying for Cat People.)

Thanks, ligaya, for the acknowledgement that I have been away.
I just couldn’t stay out of a discussion about Catwoman, especially when no one was singing the praises of the very talented Eartha Kitt’s portrayal of the character. To me, Kitt, set the bar that all other actresses who play the role must reach. So far, none have. It is not enough to speak in a sexy whisper, as so many have—because they are unable to perfect the puuuuurr in their voice—and have a slim body. Kitt expressed the physicality of the feline perfectly; she was the embodiement of sexiness. Angelina, if she should play the role, has a lot of work to do to even come close to Kitt.
