Cher IS Catwoman! (?)
So there’s a report out that Dark Knight director Christopher Nolan wants to cast Cher as Catwoman in the next film.
I have but one word to say about that:
PFFFT!
The story appears to have originated with The Telegraph in London, but the reporting looks about as credible as that of the Weekly World News. It talks about not only about how Nolan has chosen Cher, but that he’s ready to begin shooting the film in Vancouver early next year.
Ummmm … no. According to this Variety story, Nolan isn’t even signed to direct the third film yet, much less ready to begin shooting. And I highly doubt a script is even close to finished, if indeed, one has been started at all.
Like the folks at AICN, I call BS on this one. It’s not worth getting worked up about. The rumor mongering is so transparent, it makes the theories that (SPOILER ALERT) Harvey Dent isn’t really dead look halfway credible.
Let’s assume, though, that Catwoman really is in the next film. Who plays her? Angelina Jolie seems too obvious to me. How ‘bout Rachel McAdams?

The major problem with this rumor is that it assumes Warner Brothers will be able to afford another Batman movie after it is destroyed by the boycott of Harry Potter fans.By Allie D.

I originally thought McAdams should have played Rachel Dawes, but she would be a good choice for Catwoman as well. I agree with you on the incredibility of this story from all angles. While I’m quite sure there is going to be another Dark Knight, we will probably not be seeing it until 2011 or thereabouts, and it’s unlikely we’ll be hearing about it until next year sometime. And Cher as the character is beyond laughable. Yes, she can act, but she’s old enough to be Christian Bale’s mother, for crying out loud.By Sir Critic

I’m disappointed. I expected Eric to suggest Amy Adams.
