Unrealized Michelle Pfeiffer's Catwoman Movie Revealed

Creative differences between director and screenwriter led to the cancellation of the project, resulting in the poorly received Halle Berry's Catwoman movie.

  • Michelle Pfeiffer's Catwoman almost had a standalone movie, but due to creative differences between the director and the screenwriter, the film was left in the development stage.
  • Director Tim Burton wanted to make an $18 million black and white movie, like the original 'Cat People,' of Selina (Catwoman) living in a small town.
  • Screenwriter Daniel Waters had a different approach, wanting to make a 'Batman' movie where the metaphor was about 'Batman,' and had Catwoman move to a Los Angeles version of Gotham City, run by three problematic superheroes.
  • Instead of the Pfeiffer's Catwoman movie, fans were served with the 2004 box-office disaster that was Halle Berry's 'Catwoman', which was poorly received by critics and audiences alike.
  • Despite the failure of Berry's Catwoman, no other filmmaker has taken the initiative for another Catwoman movie.
