I really wish she had played Rachel in The Dark Knight instead of Maggie Gylenhaal. Gylenhaal came across as terribly smarmy, smug, and arrogant in that film.
she wasn't bad in batman begins, she's a good actress, the script for her was a bit shit, she sounded cliche, it was also abit shit for bruce wayne. In dark knight there was a big improvement in script and magfie gyllenhaal seemed better because there was more range in that movie. in batman begins rachel is always like a damsel in distress looking for a lover. Would've liked to see what katie holmes would have done in TDK.
rachael leigh cook should play rachel, because for starters, her name is also called rachel just like in the movie rachel dawes, also she looks more like katie holmes! god! nolan you ruined the continuity from the first movie BBs!
christopher nolan really miscast maggie gyllenhaal to replace katie holmes's character rachel dawes, but instead he could've have chosen rachael leigh cook to play rachel dawes in the dark knight! i'm saying this because rachael leigh cook resembles more of katie holmes than maggie gyllenhaal does!
Yea too bad they changed the actor. I didn't dislike the actress in The Dark Knight but its just kind of weird to throw a new actor into the mix. I hate when they do that with sequels.
great interview...Kate Rocked as rachel...FUCK the second one in Dark Knight...i dont even remember her name. she's so ugly...I wish katie did batman 2. Christian and Katie had amazing chemistry...
I really think this movie is better then the other old and the newest one with the joker..! this is batman to me and katie holmes is really SEXY!!!! and im almost in love with her :)
I don't really care if it was Katie or Maggie cast as Rachel Dawes. I just get annoyed when different actors play the same character in the same trilogy. I wish Nolan cast someone who would have acted in both movies. I wish Katie didn't decline The Dark Knight. I hope she regrets not doing The Dark Knight after how successful it was. I hate non-uniformity in casting!
I'm sorry, but Katie Holmes did SUCH a better job than Maggie. And it pissed me off in the movie theater when, watching the Dark Knight, some chick said "THIS IS SUCH A BETTER RACHEL". I just wanted to scream "SHUTUP YOU DUMB BITCH!"
No disrespect to Maggie, she didn't slaughter the re-casting, but she didn't live up to Katie's par or try to mimick her character enough.
@EventuallyWeMerge katie holmes' portrayal of rachel dawes didn't work. She didn't give the charasmatic feel of a tough distric attorney. she didn't look like she could face danger, and the acting was just downright awful. Maggie was everything she wasnt
I saw that too and remember Nolan created Rachel after Katie Holmes. Katie was ideal,the moral compass,girl next door,sweet but Maggie was all smiles and flirting when Gotham was going down and no allies for Batman except Alfred.
I don't think there should be anything like "Maggie or Katie was better." I'd like to point out that Rachel Dawes was an original character in Nolan's Batman movie. So the only reference is the first actress who played her. So Katie shouldn't be put down. Maggie changed the character of Rachel Dawes. She got rid of her stubbornness and hostility, and that fucked the character up. Rachel was independent and ass kicking in brains. Maggie turned her into a fucking flirt.
Some reports did milk Cruise had a problem with Katie filming a long time opposite Bale,Eckhart and Ledger. Do you remember the controversial deleted sex scenes of Katie and Eckhart in Thank you for Smoking?
I miss Katie when I saw how Maggie was miscast and didnt connect with Bale at all. Funny Katie had chemistry with Eckhart on Thank you for smoking film.Katie chose Mad Money because it was only 2 mos.and its her idol Diane Keaton. Her baby was still little unlike TDK it was 8 mos.shoot for her.
Katie was so much better and classier.She gave a good personality and soul to Rachel. She's more real and intelligent,hotter and importantly had chemistry with Bale's Bruce and Batman.
haha does anyone know what "the other rachel's" name!? i thought it was a bit ridiculous that maggie gylenhaal played rachel because she is completly different but she was good
I've always been a fan of Katies! It really does suck to not see her in TDK. From what I read online and stuff she got offered to re praise her role but I guess she decided to make the film Mad Money instead... :( IDC Katie is amazing! I love her as an actress!
