Anne Hathaway Defends Catwoman Costume Her Stunt Double Wrecks IMAX Camera
Date: 8/9/2011
Anne Hathaway has reacted to criticism of her Catwoman costume that characterized her Dark Knight Rises togs as ?underwhelming.? Hathway replied to remarks about the costume by telling MTV, ?What I am happy to say is, if you didn?t like the photo, you only see about a 10th of what the suit can do. And if you did like the photo, you have excellent taste.? Hathaway?s functional and understated Catwoman costume is perfect keeping with the overall design of Christopher Nolan?s Batman films (see ?First Still of Anne Hathaway?s Catwoman? for ICv2?s analysis)


Hathaway's Stunt Double Before Accident
Meanwhile Hathaway?s stunt double accidentally totaled an expensive IMAX camera while filming a seen in which she was riding the massive Batpod motorcycle down the steps of Carnegie-Mellon University in Pittsburgh. According to The Hollywood Reporter, the stunt double flew off the bike and sailed into the pricy IMAX camera. Though the camera was wrecked, neither Hathaway?s double nor any of the camera crew was hurt, so it could be said that the Catwoman costume passed its first test at least for durability. With a budget just north of $250 million, the producers of The Dark Knight Rises should be able to absorb the cost of replacing the camera.
