Oh
she epitomizes fantasy what every woman
would want to be and what every man
would like to be with bad isn't
something that doesn't for me maybe it's
a little more complicated yeah there's a
reason that they call really sexy women
feline you don't call a man feel I never
even if he's sexy save all the cool
chicks that have played Catwoman
weathers Julie Newmar Eartha Kitt and
now Halle
[Music]
patience Philips yes a woman who's very
intelligent very talented she just
doesn't really know that yeah I think
she's the average girl set point in your
career where you go alone am I really
doing what I want hi this is patience in
the art department she does graphics and
advertising for a cosmetics company can
do I really have the energy and the
nerve to step out and do what I really
want to do what are you stuck
patience and Tom really meet because of
a miscommunication he's driving along
and sees what he thinks to be a young
woman in distress and essentially
suicidal standing on a Ledge her
relationship with him it's one of the
catalyst my beginning of the movie that
helps her become in touch with her
sexuality and her power as a woman in
one week we will launch the most
exciting and revolutionary product to
hit the beauty industry since so Laurel
had air is the wife of a man who owns
this cosmetic company called hadera
cosmetics and they make this product
called Beauty which is this cream that
makes you never ever age he's very tough
pretty ruthless trying to be mean and
horrible in a way I don't think he has
many redeeming factors about him I'm not
pleased I am so sorry mister this red
it's all wrong if you give me a chance I
know I can fix it I do not reward
incompetence oh for God's sake George
by midnight she will have to bring the
new designs directly to the factory
we're going to go straight into printing
hello this is how she overhears I can
live with it being addictive but these
side-effects from the long-term studies
I can't live with turning people into
monsters Oh who's there
she's ultimately killed and the breath
of life has been breathed into her by
this beautiful male cat and she is
reborn anew s cabinet
she starts to sort of put together so
that this cat that keeps showing up to
her apartment has something to do with
the craziness that's happening to her
patients decides to take this cat back
to its owner yes I got your cat off a
ledge
I never said midnight you've never
brought a stranger home before please
come in I feel that I gently lead her
into this world that she has entered
without knowing it she's the woman who
really explains to her that you are a
captain fears independence total
confidence in human reflexes
she now has powers no one dreams exists
she's got the powers of a big cat she
has special cat vision
she's a stealthy fighter she looks very
much like who she used to be but inside
her mentality and her thought process is
totally different time to accessorize
first you will be kind of scared and
then she will enjoy
[Music]
there are a couple of murders that occur
and the primary accessibility becomes
Catwoman hey I'm down from there nice
and easy cats come when they feel like
it
not when they're told I'm not gonna tell
you again you turn around you put your
hands on your head oh he's of course you
know like everyone else trying to
capture Catwoman I really love the love
story in this movie because it's kind of
a metaphor for what so many of us
struggle with in relationships pretty
[Music]
thanks on YouTube talking about the fish
will they still love me if they know who
I really am
that jade will hit this will blow fry I
knew I felt a spark between us you know
he falls in love with patience and then
slowly she's turning into Catwoman tell
me about this one that got away general
and she struggles with his cam I tell
him the truth will he still love me you
like bad girls only if they like me back
our struggle is to come to terms with
the duality of who she was and who she's
become not on a first date
don't flatter yourself lady I'm taking
Ino badass Catwoman plays this kind of
hero antihero
through the cat that killed Civic you
know believe everything you see on TV
she is fighting for what many would
consider sort of a very noble cause tell
your husband all about being it's
disease in a jar is she perfect in her
attempt at doing that absolutely not
like my name is she's doing a
red-blooded woman and a girl who wants
to have fun absolutely by the end of the
movie we hope will present a character
that has sort of learned how to control
the duality of this new personality
which in turn makes for a well-rounded
woman which we all I think strive to be
[Music]
one of the most fun things about doing
this movie and the most exciting is that
we wanted to create a new Catwoman
costume every Catwoman costume over the
years has been different there's been no
two women who wore the same costume we
wanted to distinguish ourselves enough
from previous incarnations of Catwoman
that we felt like we were unique as any
other Catherine before she will build
her costume with 11 she had we wanted a
censored contemporary urban texture to
her hence she's all leather we were
reluctant to give her a head-to-toe
bodysuit so there was all about showing
as much skin as possible as well as
giving her enough protection to be the
warrior being able to see the back of
the costume and see the spine sort of
how the ribs are sort of the muscles and
the sinew eNOS is really what she's all
about instead of having they're all
covered up this time you actually get to
see some of that as a weapon she has a
quick which she sometimes uses cats need
their paws so we had open toes and it's
great for jumping and fighting the masks
I think has sort of been reinvented
nothing really just appears it all
tracks nicely there's a reason how she
came up with this costume
[Music]
cats are not easy to train our trainers
were fantastic luckily for us because we
had a lot of very complex things that
these cats had to do we first got
involved in this movie
everyone approached us and says oh cats
can't be trained you can't do this we're
gonna CGI this cat well the director and
the producers came out to our ranch and
we showed them some trained cats and
well maybe you could do a small portion
of the film and then we can intermix it
with CGI cats 99% of this movie is a
real cat I didn't think cats could come
when you fold them like I just didn't
think cats did that up see we're gonna
have anywhere from 15 to 20 cats in the
scene so we have trained certain caps to
move in on a certain sound the other
cats aren't going to move in until they
hear their sound so that way we can get
cats to move in catch to move out give a
little more life to this in
I wasn't a cat person I have two dogs
and I swore I will never have a cat I
don't like cats they are too aloof and I
need a needy dog but I love my cat now I
have a gorgeous cat all the other cats
that were here were just phenomenal
[Music]
catwoman and i start whoopin each
other's tails I do kind of your basic
just pounding the crap out of our
Catherine is not the Japanese fighter or
a CooCoo fighter so I wanted to bring
something different for her a lot of the
stuff that how he does in the movie is
based on actual cat movement I worked
with Anne Fletcher she's our
choreographer and now I call her cat
specialist that should be on her resume
heat up on Catwoman's movement to be
it's exactly like a cat it didn't want
to stretch from the reality of that he
wanted to see how far the human body
could act at like a cat I watched hours
and hours of videotape and he would see
these cats leaping from eight stories
are doing figure eights in midair and
you say how do they do it
you know it's supernatural recreating
that with a female human body was
fantastic
I studied capoeira it's a Brazilian form
of martial arts it comes from the
observations of animals is very flying
it's very close to the ground they use
the hand the foot - it was really the
start points to figure what could be the
Catalan type of fight basically the guys
would go in and do the broad strokes of
the actual fight and while we were doing
that I would throw in some cat movements
like this is what she might do here how
he did an unbelievable amount of
physical training for this role from the
beginning she wanted to do as much of it
herself as she could she didn't have the
attitude of wall just pop in there after
the doubles do all the hard stuff a lot
of what you see in the movie is Halle
Berry
it's a great combination above a great
love story it's superb women the myth of
transformation self empowerment finding
out who you really are your voice and
your power Catwoman
really represents that she's feeling her
power and understanding and discovering
what it's like to be a powerful woman in
the world and what that means okay boys
who can see in the dark
