Holy Strange Career Moves, Batman: Katie Flies Out of the Bat Cave
Katie Holmes, 28, has decided not to reprise her role as assistant district attorney Rachel Dawes in The Dark Knight, the sequel to Batman Begins.
According to the Wall Street Journal, the studio is now searching for an actress to replace Holmes in the big budget picture, the salary for which will likely be in the $1 million to $2 million range.
"Katie was offered [Dark Knight] but was unable to accept the role because of scheduling conflicts,” Julie Polkes, a spokeswoman for Holmes, tells the WSJ.
“She was in the process of negotiating for another project. In addition, when she returns to work, she would like to tackle a new character."
The new project she’s leaning towards?
Mad Money, a comedy about three female Federal Reserve workers who plot to pocket old currency before it's destroyed. Holmes would take a pay cut and receive only $250,000 for her role in the film, which possibly costars Queen Latifah.
Begging the pardon of the Queen, but isn't this the sort of "wacky caper" that should be reserved for a Duff or someone of the Wayans bloodline -- while in drag?
Also, the woman who wrote Thelma & Louise and directed Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood is planning to direct.
We can only imagine what happens when you put those two films into the atom smasher, but it's probably safe to say that, upon leaving the theater, everyone will be synched up on the same menstruation cycle. Including dudes.
