Holmes Dropped from 'Batman' Sequel

Christian Bale, Michael Caine and Morgan Freeman have signed to star in a second Batman movie, but love interest Katie Holmes has been dropped. Movie bosses are thrilled with the response to Batman Begins - it took $46.9 million in its first weekend at the US box office - and have snapped up the film's stars for a sequel. Bale as Batman was the first to put pen to paper, followed by Caine as butler Alfred and Freeman as Bruce Wayne's business associate Lucius Fox. But Holmes won't reprise her role as district attorney Rachel Dawes - reportedly because Warner Bros is angry her engagement to Tom Cruise has stolen media attention away from the movie. A source tells Pagesix.Com, "Everyone is in agreement that the movie's strength is with Christian Bale, Michael Caine and Morgan Freeman." Adding of Holmes, "She won't be in the sequel... the next romantic interest will be a much stronger actress. Warner is happy that people are now focusing on who'll be playing the Joker rather than Katie and Tom."

I can see why they're pissed though. None of the reporters gave a sh!t about the movie. All they cared about was how many times a week Kate was giving Tom a BJ. Every interview with a cast member was not about the movie, but how Tom is or what they thought of the relationship.

The relationship has been one big smokescreen for the movie and it may have turned some people off

dammit I cant wait! that movie ROCKEDD!!

Very unprofessional. Not necessarily the decision, but the quote.

 

[aswedc]

I'm far more interested in whether the director and screenwriter have signed on again.

Regardless, :thumbsup: for bad things happening to stupid cult members.

 

[anxi80]

They could have said that they wanted an actress with even harder nips and no lazy eye

 

[RMSistight]

Damn..that sucks....Katie was pretty good too. Oh well....I wonder who this stronger actress could be.......


I VOTE FOR ANGELINA JOLIE!!!!!!!!!!

 

[loup garou]

So who does everyone think will play the joker? I've heard they're talking about Mark Hamill...

Well, I don't think it would be Hamill, because people would identify him too closely with the WB animated series Joker. But the folks on teh Intarweb picked Bale to be Batman, and Hamill is leading the Intarweb short list, so who knows?

her character was quite boring in the movie, I felt that she was one of the few weak points in an otherwise spectacular movie. That aside, I understand that it's the business and all, but if they really did it just because her relationship was taking up space on tabloid pages that should have been babbling about BB...that's just pathetic. IMHO, anybody that would ever be interested in the movie would either be into it immediately upon seeing a trailer or ad or hearing word of mouth...BB and Tom/Katie share two different followings. I don't think anybody is going to not see BB just because of WotW.

oh well. I'm still glad that she's gone from the series

She looks and acts horrible on the big screen, so they didn't sign her back. She's just another one of those actors/actresses that can't move from TV to movies.

And didn't we already have a joker? How can anybody top Nickelson?

I don't see how anybody could top that sick sonofabitch

 

[Excelsior]

She wont be missed. Out of all the main characters, she is the first one I would want out.

Maybe they'll cast Lohan. Hope she's looking back to normal by then.

 

[Martin]

As long as Nolan is directing the next one, it'll be good.
