NOTE FROM KRISTIAN:
Well, “Catwoman” finally made it to the theaters.
The film was plagued with delays for years, from
a lead actress change to numerous script rewrites
to star Halle Berry smacking her head on a
light and spending a day at the hospital.


The Top 9 Other
Problems Making “Catwoman”


9> Instead of Halle Berry, the casting director initially contacted Chuck Berry.

8> Halle refused to come when called and spent most of the day sleeping on top of the video monitor.

7> Every morning, it took an entire ladder company to get her down from a tree.

6> The director was forced to decide if he was a man or a mouse.

5> Hordes of horny tomcats howling outside of Ms. Berry’s trailer at all hours. Male felines, too.

4> The First Unit crew was completely distracted watching Halle clean herself with her tongue.

3> The Hollywood Dog Union led a media blitz claiming the movie was biased and would stir up “anti-canine” sentiments.

2> Production ground to a halt every time someone used the can opener at craft service.

and the Number 1 Other Problem Making “Catwoman”…

1> Constant wardrobe malfunctions with Eartha Kitt’s Grandma Kitty outfit caused two PAs to claw their own eyes out.
