Affleck Says He'll Do Batman If Paltrow Does Catwoman

- StudioBriefing, 27 December 1999


Ben Affleck has agreed to star as the next Batman but is
insisting that his girlfriend Gwyneth Paltrow play Catwoman,
the London Sunday Mirror reported. However, the newspaper
quoted a Warner Bros. source as saying that Paltrow might
turn down the role. "She can't decide if the part will be
good for her career," the source told the newspaper.
Meanwhile, London papers are also reporting that Natalie
Portman is set to star in a sequel to the 1987 hit film Dirty
Dancing (1987). No word on the nature of her part, or who
might co-star.
