Katie Holmes Joins Latifah In Mad Money But leaves The Dark Knight
As career choices go, this is about as weird and ill-advised as Kevin Federline ditching his perfectly lucrative job as Britney's sponging bum of a husband and becoming Britney's useless rapper ex-husband. Katie Holmes has just signed to star opposite Queen Latifah in comedy Mad Money, to be directed by Thelma and Louise writer Callie Khouri. The film tells of three women who work at the federal reserve and plot to steal a large amount of money that's about to be destroyed. The film is based on British TV movie Hot Money, which starred her who played Martin Clunes' girlfriend in Men Behaving Badly. That bit is all normal. All fine. Nothing odd here, your honour.
But at the same time Holmes has announced that she will not be returning for the Batman Begins sequel, The Dark Knight. Why Katie? We know you're busy looking after the baby and shopping with Victoria Beckham. And obviously she's going to be demanding more of your time now she's moving to your neighbourhood. But you could have done both. We liked you in Batman Begins. You were good. OK, you were the Doogie Howser of District Attorneys, but we went with it. We're disappointed Katie, we won't lie. We'll be over here, shaking our heads ruefully. We'll only cheer up if someone tells us that Rachel McAdams is taking your place.

Good riddens, she was the only bad part in what wasa brilliant movie, it may be a bad move for her but great news for audiences world wide. ... Read More
I didn't mind Holmes. If people dislike her, then Nolan could have written her character out properly. Unless body doubles, camera angles and a beginning kill by the Joker are what they're aiming for. ... Read More
is finally the film that they run with the tagline "Once again, Queen Latifah is BACK!" just like the song what she wrote years ago.....
I dunno , maybe La Holmes just isn't trying anymore, or possibly that she was over-rated to begin with (the nips oot bit in 'The Gift' notwithstanding) ... Read More
Er....wasn't finished!! ..where was i?.......I heard a rumour on Latino Review that as Matt Damon had passed on the part of Harvey Dent, it was being offered to Ed Norton instead.

I'm pretty glad that Holmes wont be back for The Dark Knight, she was the worst part of a great movie so no biggie! But i like the idea that she could of been Killed off or crippled by the Joker like in Killing Joke so my happy/sad scales are pretty balanced at the mo.
Also heard a rumour on ... Read More
Although Holmes was the worst thing in Batman Begins I was kinda hoping she would be in the sequel, basically so she could get killed off by the Joker. You know how their trying to make the Joker all sinister and creepy and pure evil? Well, in the Killing Joke he cripples Batgirl-no Batgirl in your series? have him cripple Katie Holmes! Unless....maybe she's transferred to make way for new attorney Harvey Dent...... ... Read More
