Halle
Berry Defends Catwoman
1/7/08
Hollywood actress Halle Berry has defended her disastrous role in
Catwoman, claiming it's impossible for actors to predict how a movie will
turn out.
The 2004 movie was heavily criticized by reviewers and won four Golden
Raspberry Awards in 2005 for Worst Picture, Worst Director, Worst
Screenplay and Worst Actress - which Berry collected in person.
Catwoman also bombed at the box office, grossing just $42 million -
less than half of its original budget.
However, Berry - who subsequently won an Oscar in 2005 for Monster's
Ball - remains positive about the experience, joking that it was "one
of the best movies ever". But she insists she couldn't have predicted
the film would flop.
She says, "It was definitely different from any other (movie) I
had seen. I thought that we needed a better villain, but I was outnumbered
in that area.
"You just never know how people are going to respond. I thought
that Monster's Ball was going to end my career. And look what happened.
You just never know."
