Hathaway Cast as Catwoman
January 20th 2011 04:07
Anne Hathaway has joined Christian Bale in The Dark Knight Rises with Christopher Nolan in the director’s chair.
Hathaway was on the list of actresses which tested for the role in recent weeks, in company with Jessica Biel and Keira Knightley, as revealed by Heat Vision, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
The speculation is that Hathaway will play Catwoman, but hasn’t officially been named, but it’s a darn good guess because it is pursuant with Nolan’s more grounded approach to the movie series.
Nolan wrote the screenplay with his brother Jonah Nolan, from a story by Nolan and David S. Goyer. They have taken some inspiration from the classic Batman: Year One storyline by Frank Miller and David Mazzucchelli, by way of asking, “What if the story continued?”
The Catwoman in Year One was a prostitute-dominatrix who helps Batman even as he inadvertently inspires her to don a costume and embark on a life of crime.
Of course, this is all speculation and I am sure we will find out more information as the film proceeds to production. Principal shooting should start in May in London and Los Angeles. It’s slated for release on July 20, 2012.
