"Was he insane?" I hear you say. Well, while his movie Adulthood premiered on a UK satellite channel, writer/director and BAFTA award-winning Noel Clarke for reasons best known to himself sat down to watch the universally lambasted Catwoman movie. In fairness, the odd time I do the same thing when it's on tv to see Halle Berry in that suit but that's a different story:)
Clarke twittered while he watched...
OH MY GOD! How shit is CATWOMAN?
RE: CATWOMAN Unbelievable rubbish. I wanna slap the director. Classic making a film about a character he actually knows nothing about.
So DC let this idiot make and ruin Catwoman but that won’t let me make BLACK LIGHTING or SUPERGIRL. Unbelievable… So angry, going to bed.
DR Who fans will recognize Clarke as Mickey(Rose's boyfriend) in the revival of the TV show. But he also wrote "Kidulthood," and wrote and directed "Adulthood." Both movies were very well received and he has a sci-fi thriller in the works called "4321" and will star in Neil Marshal's "Centurion."
Maybe when he is seen in something closer to the comic book movie genre, DC will let him make these movies. He certainly seems like a comic fan, and he has the talent, too.
