... I just want to know why this guy thinks a porn star should be catwoman. First off, porn stars can't act for shit, and secondly... seriously, why a porn star? Can he please come here and explain himself?
I think Hathaway will probably do a good job as Catwoman. At least she's not from Inception.
And, gah, sometimes I think I would be willing google porn FOR creepers if they would just stop acting like heroines in g-strings are a constitutional right or something.
Because obviously all Hollywood casting directors should be looking to porn to find their actors. I mean, some of those actresses make 30 movies a month! That must take some talent... oh wait. No. No it doesn't.
That's funny cause I'd rather have a very sexy catwoman (maybe that's just the vibe I got from the previous ones, but I think that's a fairly important part of the role, isn't it ?) and hope she could act, rather than having Anne Hathaway, which I fear will bore me or even make me laugh. Hope I'll be proven wrong.
Nothing remarkable here. Check any on-line "who should star in the movie of this comic?" discussion, and you will always find at least one person pushing for porn performers to play all the female roles. Which, given the way most female comics characters are drawn, and the outfits they are made to wear, does make some sense.
The same people usually want wrestlers for all the male roles. Again, that makes some sense, wrestlers being muscular guys who are accustomed to wearing tights and staging fights. Still, one does get the impression that, for these people, actual acting ability is not really a consideration. (One also gets the impression that these people really should expand their entertainment options.)
There's a difference between "pushing for porn performers" and pointing out that one happens to embody a given character far more than the chosen "bankable," demographically-correct A-lister.
Trying to cast Catwoman as nothing but "sexy" is exactly why the character has been so utterly and completely awful almost every time she's appeared on film.
I say give the role to a decent actress and then let her actually act, as opposed to purring for some misguided attempt at sex appeal.
At least this one wasn't drooling.

ReplyDeleteHe wasn't wearing a tshirt with text or a trademarked logo either!
ReplyDeleteI believe that there were two high production values pornographic Batman movies released in 2010. Perhaps he should view those instead.
ReplyDeleteHere's one of them:

Well, if Anne Hathaway went and did porn, would he be happy then? I know I would be.

ReplyDeleteGot a problem with Marion Cotillard?
@velony
ReplyDeleteor Tom Hardy?
I'll have you know both Marion Cotillard and Tom Hardy killed my father. So thanks for bringing up that trauma.
ReplyDeleteIn place of having an official OVP Catwoman reaction, I submit this:

ReplyDeleteAll the same bs bla bla bla when it was revealed that Heath was cast as the Joker...
ReplyDeleteFanboys.............................
"Fanboys"? Hello from 2011, person from 1995!
ReplyDeleteHe must not have seen the laser security scene in Get Smart.

ReplyDeleteHas nobody seen Love and Other Drugs?
ReplyDeletePlease look up Havoc, you guys.
ReplyDeleteI agree with this guy. Tori Black from the Batman porno is more "Catwoman" to me than Anne Hathaway could ever hope to be.

ReplyDelete@AP2HYCape:
ReplyDeleteHey, to be fair, they certainly tend to have lots of "Sailor Moon" talent. In fact they often get special training for it!
