Fox will be a Cat(woman)?

[RICEaRONI]

Warner Brothers has already come out and completely denied this stating there isn't even a script yet. total bum scoop

 

[The Mike]

No script doesn't exactly debunk this rumor although I have my doubts of it legitimacy. Nolan spoke to Ledger about the role when they had decided on the Joker if I remember correctly before the script was finalized. If Nolan wanted a particular actor knowing that he had to block out a good chunk of time, I could see him talking to them first before anything to make sure they were available.

Chris can cast off an approved Outline or Treatment if he wants, so stating this means nothing as long as the Characters have been determined.

But I wouldn't trust this rag as far as I could toss it. Chris prolly has a short list of Actors he may want to consider for his new Characters. The Studio may also suggest a few names. Names get thrown on a list based on interest and availability, scheduling, etc.

If he has someone specific for a certain Character, you can bet he'll test them through readings or vid screen tests. Megan Fox may have the "look" but she doesn't have the acting chops to pass muster with Chris or the A-List Talent he works with IMO.

Truth!

You kids serious that Megan would be in a Batman movie? Come on.

Granted, the weakest part of the Nolan universe has been his females, but Megan....?

He cast Katie Holmes... Anything's possible.

If I remember correctly (and I could be mistaken), I read in an article a year or two back that Katie's screen test was stellar but her on-set performance paled in comparison, resulting in both WB and Nolan regretting their decision.

I though she did a good job.

Keep in mind I am NO FAN of her, but Katie Holmes=Infinitely better actress than Megan Fox. Wonderboys, Pieces of April, The Gift, and even her small role in Thank You for Smoking are all examples. She did kinda suck in BB, but she does not deserve to be compared to Megan Fox in terms of acting ability.

i dislike holmes alot and gylenehahalll was and is terrible. she sucks.

 

[TheObsoleteMan]

So did I. I never have understood all the hate for her. It really wasn't much of a part and she did what she could with it.

Maggie Gyllenhaal certainly wasn't any drastic improvement, but again, the part itself has a lot to do with that. Her only reason for even being there was to get blown up.

As for Megan Fox, the sooner she disappears from film (unless it's adult films), the better imo.

 

[devlinboy]

i think its cause her face looks like its made from old playdoh

 

[devilof76]

I don't think Fox should be cast, but I'm solid on the need for Selena to be in the next film if one gets made. After Gordon, Alfred, and the Joker, she is the most significant character in Gotham.

no offense, guys, but u speak as if it's 100% confirmed that nolan is returning to the director's chair. he will very likely do it, but has not yet officially committed. the reports of him saying he'll do it were anecdotal. he hasn't signed documents yet.

so any "casting" news without a even finished spec script or director officially attached is pure BS.

i hate it when stupid gossip rags run rubbish "news" like this to sell more copies.

It was just the character of Rachel isnt that great of a role. She's just not that interesting.
