We have already heard reports of Hathaway injuring a stuntman and tearing her costume while shooting scenes for Nolan's currently filming Batman threequel. Now, if any further evidence was needed that her role as Catwoman will be a very physical one, Harper's Bazaar has published an interview dealing elements of her exercise/stunt training for the movie..
Anne's preparation for her role as Catwoman in Christopher Nolan's The Dark Knight Rises, the next Batman installment (currently filming in Pittsburgh), has been more than cosmetic. She has been working out five days a week — rigorous exercise and stunt training followed by an hour and a half of dance. "I've always thought that skinny was the goal, but with this job I also have to be strong," she says. Anne has always been slim, but if you look at clips of her in her early 20s, when she made The Devil Wears Prada and Brokeback Mountain — films that first gave a clue of her dramatic range — the difference is she stands taller now and with more confidence.
Nothing major, but nice to have an idea as to how she is preparing for the role. Rumors surfaced last week that we might be getting a look at Hathaway as Catwoman when the next
TDKR vial campaign hits, but so far not a peep.
