and spectacular job and my goodness Anne Hathaway can kick some butt. Who knew!
it turns out under the right circumstances
ahhh that could happen
what was it like for you
to you know, get the call from Christopher Nolan or you know, however it played out
and to find out that you were going to be in this film and play Cat Woman.
well it had been a journey to ummm
just the audition process it was your first is rumors that Chris was
considering a new female character and than it was ok so he's going to meet with a couple girls and
and then it was, then he told me what the character was and then it was weather or not
you were going to be one of the girls invited to the screen test.
It was a 3 and a half month process so by the time i got it
it just seems like it couldn't possibly happen i mean it i'd i'd loved
character since i was a little girl and it just didn't seem possible that it would
a reality in my life
and so then when I did get it and then i went to set and it was one of the best
experiences i've ever had working on a movie
it was just
its still very very pinch yourself territory. Yeah i was going to ask
if it's a bucket list thing for you.
I didn't even know it was because it I mean there's something Chris, Chris got a increased risk of the star in hollywood
star on the Hollywood walk of fame today
he said something about how he's like
literally never thought this would happen to me
it's the same thing you just don't imagine that because michelle pfeiffer's
performances so iconic
uh... you just don't think that that opportunity will ever come up again and the
fact that it did while I was the right age
it's kinda mind-blowing but it's it's a great it it's it's a pasta it's after
it's after the fact it's a bucket list thing
uh... dedication spread it's because the exactly
and getting in shape again when you know you got the roll and you know your
in great shape you always look fantastic but my goodness there is this probably a lot of
special training would have to go into something like that
it was a lot of it was more time in the gym than i think i had ever spent ever spent in my life
combined what i had to do for this movie
uh... it was great they
they showed me a lot of the stunts that they want me to do with a lot of the
fighting styles and chris had said he wanted me to do all of the things that
uh...
that i could
uh... and i'm a hyper competitive person so i was like i'm gonna do it all
i'm gonna do everything
so it was about getting myself in a in good enough shape so that I could do all of my
fighting which I was pleased that I had
uh... and doing and heels my dear
and doing it in heals we had to had to learn everything in flats and then
slowly
ramp it up unbelievable i loved how she just lifted your leg over that pod
thank you
pretty cool moves
I threw that in the screen test I think that helped
it was awesome
uh... working with christian bale now here you are you know you're new and this is the
third one so we've got a lot of people in this at work with them and over nine
years i mean what was your first impression about him what was that like to work with
a guy like that
he's a
deep i know this is weird because there shouldn't be degrees of authenticity
but
he's a deeply authentic person
very very much himself he's
one of the smartest people Ive ever met
and he's just a love he's just
i loved him instantly and i still do i think he's adorable
and um... and he is just such a great great great
great actor just everyday was a privilege do you still find at this point that
you're learning from these people on the sets that you you know uh... you
look at this movie who who was on this that we're talking
you know michael caine morgan freeman ect. ect. of course of course i hope
i always learn from the people that i work with and especially when you're in this
kind of company
i mean i remember coming in one day and i saw Joe and i'm like hey you had the scene with oldman the other day how was
it and hes like oh my god day i cant even talk about what he did
and then i'm like know christian the other day did this thing and then michael and we were just trading notes
about what everybody was doing i dont know it was like trading baseball cards or something but it was
i mean it was a master class every day every body that you saw
working everybody had
you know everyone comes from such different backgrounds but somehow
everyone found the same
note to play in the film and i believe that's that's do to chris and the strength of
his and Jonas script ya what is it about that man that he just keeps such
everything so calm yet he delivers
just keeps topping himself with every film
i think that calmness comes from hes
a really good person
um.. he's a wonderful father and so i think he's able to uh..
be midst be in the midst of chaos while also keeping his cool
um... and he's also just he just has a legitimately brilliant mind i mean it's
it's it's it's become an overused word when
what it but when i think of brilliance I think of Chris and
he's i mean its another over used word but he is
he is a genius these are very very big words but he earns them
uh... and he's just he's just i mean funny as anything
he's he's he's kinda too good to be true everything about this film
he drinks a lot of tea he drinks a tremendous amount of tea i believe that's the secret
its all about oral grey uh...what was your first reaction of looking at yourself
in that costume and putting that cat woman
suit on do you remember it um...
my first reaction was at the camera test and i still had a ways
to go before i was happy with it but i did have a moment when i was standing with um... tom
who's in the full bane get up
and then christian was wearing the bat suit and i was dressed as catwoman and i
said this is either
going to work spectacularly or we're going to look like rejects from
hollywood boulevard
but i think it was the first one
ok i can't leave this room without asking you something about doing les miserables
it is a by far my absolute favorite play musical ive seen it a thousand times over
tons of writing really cannot win
now i i i can't even tell you how excited i am for this movie
and we know you can't do everything we know you can send that to sing live to
be on that sent it just you know you just finished shooting
can you just give me a little taste of what it was like tish
to be part of that
it was his magical
and bat when balance not dissimilar to this when we just couldn't believe the
talents that was around you
um... and how professional and hardworking everyone is
and it was very scary to to go to surface it had to go to his this
character that um... had so much support
