Edward L. McDonnell is a producer such productions as "Three Kings", "Insomnia", and "Shanghai Knights". His current project is "Catwoman"and with so many questions regarding the film, Edward openly and quite extensively discussed his views of the subject with Blackfilm.
Was there ever a thought to incorporate Tim Burton's version of Catwoman into this film?</strong>
"No. I think Denise had produced the Batman film with Catwoman in it, and if the movie had been produced shortly after the original with Michelle, it would have had a different style and a different message, but here we are, ten years later. It's a different world"
<strong>
Was there ever any thought to bring in any of the former Catwoman (Julie Newmar, Eartha Kitt) for cameo appearances?</strong>
"No, because I think the world we are talking about takes this Catwoman to another world they weren't a part of. I think we make one very slight reference to one of the former Catwoman in the movie".
From the clips I have seen on TV, there's a fight scene between Halle's and Sharon Stone's character. How real is it?
It's very real. They went through enormous amounts of training for it, but I do tink that I'm not going to tell you that there aren't stunt people in it, but there's no body doubles in it. I won't put Halle in a situation that might harm her. There are professionals who can do some stuff than any other actor could. The actors would agree to that as well. You're often obligated to use them. In terms of a body double, no, but stunt double, absolutely. The training period was 8-10 weeks over the course of the movie
