Halle Berry stated that she would love to return to playing Catwoman, under the condition that she could also direct the movie.
The infamous Catwoman movie, starring Halle Barry as the lead, released in 2004 at a time when comic book movies weren't yet taken seriously.
The movie was a major flop in terms of box office and reviews. The plot was as outlandish as you could get with a premise like this.
In the movie, Catwoman has to stop an evil skin care company that wants to release a facial cream that kills women. The movie even received the golden raspberry award that year.
But Halle Berry would like to pick up the role again.
Catwoman, Played And Directed By Halle Berry
On Jimmy Fallon's Tonight Show, Halle Berry answered the question about what she thought of the film that just turned 20 years old.
I loved it. It got panned. The critics said it sucked balls. And balls aren’t that bad.
She was nevertheless happy about young people sharing clips of the movie online:
What I’m happy about is that the children have found it now on the internet, and they love it. So, it’s so vindicating. Because now they’re saying it’s cool and what the heck was everybody’s problem with it? I’m so brat now!
To whether she would like to return to the character, she said:
Maybe... if I could direct it.
Berry goes on by talking about her movie 'Bruised' from 2020, which she directed and starred in as the lead character.
She said:
If I can get ahold of that now, knowing what I know, having had this experience [on Bruised], and reimagine that world the way I reimagined this story. I wish I could go back and reimagine Catwoman and redo that. Have a redo on that, now knowing what I know.
It would certainly be exiting to see what Halle Berry could do with full control over that project. Seeing a good Catwoman movie would do the character a lot of favors, since we haven't really had a satisfying live-action Catwoman before.
What do you think? Would you like to see a new Catwoman movie?
