7th May 2002: Catwoman Update:
IGN Film Force report that Owen Wilson may play Tom Lone, a former Gotham City police detective now working in Lake City.

Lone used to work the super-hero cases back in Gotham so he has little patience for a certain feline femme fatale who is now prowling his new beat in Lake City. Lone doesn't realize that Catwoman is also Patience Price, his mousy next door neighbor and prospective girlfriend.

Wilson still hasn't oficially commited to the project yet, but sources say that he'll wait to see who else commits before he makes a decision.


6th May 2002: Catwoman Update:
The Stax Report have posted a review of John Roger's screenplay for Catwoman. The script is dated March 19 2002, and here's a little from Stax's review, with a few minor spoilers,

John Rogers' Catwoman script retains quite a few elements from Kate Kondell's [previous writer's] draft. The title character is still "Patience Price" but rather than being a pet groomer she's now a veterinary scientist working in the research division of GeneCo, a major biotech firm run by conniving industrialist Simon Church. (The villain in Kondell's draft was also an evil businessman but he had a different master plan.) Patience's ditzy best friend is Sally who works at the zoo where Patience volunteers. Police detective Tom Lone, another holdover from Kondell's draft, is Patience's love interest and Catwoman's pursuer.....

......Rogers, however, has cooked up a neat twist to the Catwoman mythos. He makes good use of the notion of cats having nine lives. An "origin of Catwoman" opening sequence sets up this idea nicely and creates a convincing albeit fantastical explanation for how cats can do wacky things like resurrecting dead women.

French helmer Pitof is set to make his English language feature debut with Catwoman according to The Hollywood Reporter. Pitof, a visual effects supervisor who has worked on such projects as Alien: Ressurection, Les Visiteurs and The Messenger: The Story Of Joan Of Arc will direct Ashley Judd as leasther clad Catwoman.

Catwoman herself will apparently be a "a cat-loving gymnast who runs an animal grooming business. While she is a vulnerable woman, her alter ego, Catwoman, is superconfident and must battle against the town's evil mayor and his business associate."

SciFi.com reported the following yesterday;

"Michelle Pfeiffer--who played Catwoman in 1992's Batman Returns--told SCI FI Wire that she supported Ashley Judd's casting in the upcoming Catwoman film, and offered some advice for Judd. "I think she'll be great," Pfeiffer said in an interview. "You just have to constantly remind yourself to have fun with it. I hope her outfit is a lot more comfortable than mine, and make sure the mask fits. It was squishing my face for half the movie. And make sure they give you a place to go to the bathroom, a little something. They don't think about that." "They like to change," she said. "Like with Batman, there's always a new person playing [him]. I thought about it for a while, but [Batman Returns director] Tim Burton isn't involved in it, and I really would have wanted to do it with him. So, it was really, for me, his vision that made it so special." (appeared at SciFi.com)

The site also reported that Judd's character in the film will not be named Selena Kyle (as in Batman Returns), but a new character named Patience Price (as reported below back in April).

Previous Update - Catwoman is a project that was much talked about after Michelle Pfeiffer's truly stunning performance in the Catwoman role in Batman Returns. The project languished in development hell for a few years but has now came back to hot property after the news that Ashley Judd has signed on to the role. Here's what we know so far.

The movie was originally palnned to fill a hole until the next Batman movie was ready. But Joel Schumacher made a mess of that franchise so that delayed that franchise's return for a few years at least.AICN is reporting that Warner Bros. may be considering a Catwoman feature film. Not long after news came out that a project was being developed came through the news that it had been killed off.

And that was all that was heard of the project for a couple of years then news popped up on the net that a new script had been prepped by a Kate Kondell for producer Denise Di Novi, who some of you might know as Tim Burton's producer.

Then the main news dropped that Ashley Judd had signed up for the project taking the lead role of Catwoman.

That script then appeared to be junked in favour of one by John Rogers, which is thought to be less cartoonish than the first one. The rumour is that on the first script Catwoman wasn't Selina Kyle she was Patience Price. It now appears that Ashley Judd didn't like the Patience Price role as it was a bit goofy.

That all happened recently so how long will this project take to come to the screen , I have no idea, but I would say it is looking hopeful.
