Screenwriter Behind Michelle Pfeiffer's Catwoman Spinoff Shares His Rejected Story Pitch

Screenwriter Behind Michelle Pfeiffer's Catwoman Spinoff Shares His Rejected Story Pitch

In the world of Hollywood, there are millions of ideas that go on unproduced. Not everything makes it to the big screen, and not every movie pitch is a home run. Or maybe it is and some particular executive just couldn't see it. Professional screenwriters have of stories about rejected screenplays, and John August is one of them. The writer of Big Fish and Corpse Bride was once involved in a pitch for a Catwoman movie, and while his idea was ultimately rejected, he decided to share the story on social media.

Back in 1998, Warner Bros. was developing a Catwoman movie that would have seen the return of Michelle Pfeiffer in the role. John August was at one point involved with the project, and while he was never hired to write a script, he did pitch an idea for the movie to an executive. As August recounts on Twitter, the exec was more interested in figuring out how to get Sarah Michelle Gellar and a hair washing scene in there. (Ironically, the world would see this very scene in The Grudge).

John August's Catwoman movie went on to live forever in his computer, which is where he found it years later, inspiring him to share some of it online. In his Twitter thread, John August reveals the basic premise of this Catwoman pitch, and what's pretty much the first 15 or so minutes of the movie. August's version opens with Halloween at Gotham City, and Selina Kyle is lounging on a psychiatrist's couch, bemoaning that she's thinking of leaving Gotham. Only, she's not in therapy and she's actually talking to a gagged man tied to a chair. Yep, she's robbing him. She then moves on to her second robbery of the night where she encounters Nightfall, a D-list supervillain, who's robbing the same place. He's rigged the place with explosives and Catwoman goes flying through three glass windows.

Selina then wakes up in a hospital in Lake City (Chicago), her hometown. She gets a visit from Bruce Wayne, who learns that Selina has no memory of her time as Catwoman or her relationship with Batman. As August explains, a fall created Catwoman and a fall destroyed her. We also learn about Selina's family such as her city council father and successful sister. Selina attempts to create a new life for herself, but there's still a little Catwoman left in her.

It's definitely an interesting direction for a Catwoman movie, and I doubt there's anyone who thinks it's worse than the Catwoman movie they ended up making. Catwoman languished in development hell before making it to theaters in 2004 with Halle Berry as the lead, and it's considered one of the worst superhero movies ever made.

We may not have a good Catwoman movie, but DC is always announcing new projects so stick with CinemaBlend for all movie news and updates.

How This Is Us' Dan Fogelman Feels About The Horrible Life Itself Reviews

How This Is Us' Dan Fogelman Feels About The Horrible Life Itself Reviews

You might have heard about Life Itself by now, but probably not for any good reasons. The film, which follows multiple seemingly unconnected storylines about life, is being torn apart by critics. As it stands, the movie has a 13% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, and the negativity is all the more crushing because Life Itselfi comes from Dan Fogelman, the creator of the NBC smash-hit This Is Us. Negative reviews can be tough to deal with for any filmmaker but Fogelman sounds like he's taking it as best he can, saying this about the bad reviews:

I think I just have a wildly different creative palette than the cynical film critic. And that's OK. I like different things than they like sometimes but not --- not in a bad way. My hope is that it will be warmly received in that way and kind of be able to split the difference of both worlds the way that [This Is Us] has.

I can imagine that its difficult for filmmakers to deal with any negative reviews about their movies, but when multiple critics are saying it's one of the worst films of the year? That can be soul-crushing, and plenty of directors and actors have had to deal with this blowback in the past. Dan Fogelman, who both wrote and directed Life Itself, now has to come to terms with this situation, and he told the LA Times that he thinks it boils down to him having a different "creative palette" than the critics who roasted the drama. Directors' responses to harsh reviews aren't always so graceful, but Fogelman seems accepting of the fact that not everyone is going to love Life Itself. Another way of reading that is the age-old "I didn't make this for critics" defense.

For the most part, reviews have not been kind to Life Itself across the spectrum. Here at CinemaBlend, though, we had more of a tempered response to Fogelman's work, giving the movie three out of five stars. The widespread meh-ness is likely not the reaction that Fogelman was hoping for, but he went on to say that he knows he's not going to get great reviews all the time.

Obviously, it's always disappointing, especially when it happens to something so personal to you. But it's the life I've chosen: Critics have generally been kind to me over the years, and part of the gig is that you don't get to pick and choose when you get to listen.

While critics can have the power to sway how a movie performs, bad reviews don't always mean low box office. Transformers movies, for example, usually get scores of bad reviews as they go on to make billions of dollars. Sadly, it seems that bad press did have some influence over the premiere of Life Itself, which opened outside of the top ten with $2.1 million, according to Box Office Mojo.

Having been acquired by Amazon Studios, Life Itself is in theaters right now if you feel like seeing what all the commotion is about.
