Appears like Halle Berry is feeling feisty once more.
The primary girl of colour to win an Oscar for Finest Actress (for 2001’s “Monster’s Ball”) is still thinking about her Razzie-winning position as “Catwoman” in that 2004 superhero flick.
In a recent interview with leisure journalist Jake Hamilton on his YouTube sequence “Jake’s Takes,” the 55-year-old actress and filmmaker reminisced about her debatable portrayal because the DC Comics’ feline-esque anti-hero. And regardless of its outsized $100 million finances — about as large as they got here twenty years in the past — the movie was thought of a field workplace bomb after reaping solely about $80 million in ticket gross sales, as AV Club reported.
Requested if she may return to any of her earlier initiatives to direct herself, she selected “Catwoman,” then directed my French filmmaker and particular results guru Jean-Christophe “Pitof” Comar.
“I would love to direct ‘Catwoman,’” Berry, who directed the upcoming Netflix movie “Bruised,” advised Hamilton within the distant interview.
“If I can get ahold of that now, knowing what I know, having had this experience, and reimagine that world the way I reimagined this story … ‘Bruised’ was written for a white, Irish Catholic, 25-year-old girl, and I got to reimagine it
“I wish I could go back and reimagine ‘Catwoman’ and redo that. Have a redo on that, now knowing what I know,” she stated, referring to her new gig as director.
“I would have ‘Catwoman’ saving the world like most male superheroes do, and not just saving women from their faces cracking off,” the star of the upcoming doomsday thriller “Moonfall” continued. “I would make the stakes a lot higher, and I think make it more inclusive of both men and women.”
Berry referred to as the much-maligned “Catwoman” a “piece of s–t, god awful movie” when she humbly accepted — live and in-person — her Razzie for Worst Actress on the 2004 awards. Undeterred, she vowed to the viewers to by no means obtain one other.
Following Berry’s flip, fellow Academy Award winner Anne Hathaway would take on the “slinky” character in 2012 for “The Dark Knight Rises,” with Christian Bale because the titular Caped Crusader. And, subsequent 12 months, Zoë Kravitz will don the signature skin-tight catsuit in Robert Pattinson-starring “The Batman.”
