Hey folks, Harry here with the latest on that project to make you purrrrr....
First off, I get the idea that many of you haven't a clue who this chap directing CATWOMAN is... His name is Pitof. That's it, no first or last name, just PITOF. Now, believe it or not, he's got "jack" and "shit" to do with the music video world. Rather, he came from behind the scenes of Jeunet & Caro's films like DELICATESSEN and CITY OF LOST CHILDREN. He was the main man in charge of special effects... which means, "the teardrop that changed the world" sequence was executed by him... which means... he's a genius.
Ok, so we've covered that he's an effects genius, but what about as a director. Well, this is the point where I tell you to get an All Region DVD player and head to EBAY and go get a Dvd of VIDOCQ, a brilliant little film that he directed and shot using that Sony High Def camera. The movie is visually unlike anything you have ever seen. Like a moving Bosch/Parrish Jam piece, the characters, the colors and the story all just leap out at you and the main villain is about as wonderfully comic book as you can get. The movie is a visual stunner and is a good mystery to boot.
Ok, so here's where things become... Hollywood. Warner Brothers and Denise Di Novi saw VIDOCQ and correctly thought, "He's Perfect For CATWOMAN!!!" Now, they had already attached Ashley Judd to play CATWOMAN, but she won't be playing Selina Kyle. In fact, there is no Selina Kyle. Nope, this time, Catwoman's secret identity is Patience Price. And of course there is no Batman this time out and the film isn't even set in Gotham City.
The location has picked up and moved to LAKE CITY and features a former Gotham City detective by the name of Tom Lone, who'll be played by Owen Wilson. He picked up and moved out of Gotham City because he was tired of the whole Superhero/Supervillain thing. He wanted to go where the crime remained pedestrian and the villains stopped when ya pointed guns. I mean seriously, can you imagine going to a Police Academy then having to round up a ton of penquins with dynamite strapped to their backs, or getting cakes with springing out RIDDLES? Well... apparently neither could poor Tom Lone.
So up he moves to Lake City, and no sooner than he gets there than the biggest slinkiest crouching pussy of them all shows up burgling this and that. How perturbing. Well, it ain't all that bad. I mean, at least he has a mousy prospective girlfriend next door... ya know, his neighbor... Her name is Patience Price.
