We knew that Sharon Stone had signed on to play Halle Berry's nemesis in the hotly-anticipated comic book adaption of CATWOMAN, due in 2004. But exactly how "hands-on" was she going to get for the role?
Currently on tour promoting her new movie COLD CREEK MANOR, in which she co-stars with Dennis Quaid, Stone let it out that she's already begun martial arts training for the movie. That seems to indicate she's going to have at least a few fight sequences with Berry. Halle, for her part, has shown considerable athletic ability using both knives, swords, and hand-to-hand combat in DIE ANOTHER DAY and both X-MEN movies.
Additionally, FOX News' Roger Friedman reports that Village Roadshow Productions has committed over $100 million dollars to the CATWOMAN movie.
If your pulse isn't racing and your mouth salivating at the prospect of two of the big-screen's most dynamic leading ladies fighting to the death, you just aren't alive.
