IGN FilmForce Exclusive: Catwoman Start Date

January 17, 2003 - IGN FilmForce has learned that Superman isn’t the only DC comic book film the studio plans on shooting this year. Catwoman will finally begin filming later this spring or in early summer for a 2004 release. As IGN FilmForce exclusively reported awhile back, French filmmaker Pitof will helm the feline fatale’s big-screen solo adventure with Ashley Judd cast as the title character. Denise DiNovi (Batman Returns) will produce Catwoman. The screenplay has been worked on by both Kate Kondell (Valentine) and John Rogers (The Core).

Owen Wilson has been rumored to co-star but whether or not he remains interested in the project is uncertain. According to Entertainment Weekly, Wilson begins filming Starsky & Hutch (opposite pal Ben Stiller) this March.

This Catwoman will not be “Selina Kyle” as she is in the DC Comics and was in Batman Returns. The film follows orphaned veterinary scientist Patience Price’s (Judd) vendetta against industrialist Simon Church, the man whose corporate assassins “killed” her. She wants to find out why and exact her revenge. Lake City is shocked that a new Catwoman is prowling their streets (but they’re also thrilled to finally have their burg on the celebrity map). Detective Tom Lone (Wilson?), is the point man in the police’s Catwoman investigation. Lone doesn’t realize, however, that his prey also happens to be his mousy next door neighbor and prospective girlfriend, Patience Price.
