Pussy Wagon
From the what-are-they-thinking department comes a newly minted trailer for Catwoman. I don't understand. Halle's go-go outfit is a pretty strong indicator that nobody's seriously milking the superhero angle, and the discotheque lighting makes this look more like The Apple than a more resolute exercise in style like Burton's Batman movies or Spider-Man.
Director Pitof is an ex-VFX supervisor whose credits include a trio of Jeunet/Caro films as well as Besson's The Messenger and that live-action Asterix and Obelix movie that almost nobody who doesn't speak French saw. Good luck to him, but as near as I can figure from the footage and stills that have been released, the only way this thing makes sense as a commercial proposition is if it's an elaborate, expensive promotional vehicle for selling Berry's hot, half-naked bod to young audiences who crave surface flash. (The folks who promoted Swordfish had some success with this strategy when word of Berry's gratuitous boobie flash hit the papers just before the film's release.) Don't get me wrong; I'd love to see the full-on sexploitation version of Halle Berry is Catwoman, but there's no way the inevitable PG-13 can do it justice.
