Kathie Holmes talks about 'Batman Begins'

Posted by:

Katie Holmes (playing Rachel Dawes, a childhood friend of Bruce Wayne starred by Christian Bale) told SCI FI Wire, that she sees her character as a transitional role to more adult-oriented material. "I hope that as I get older and (more) mature that I will be able to play more adult-like roles, and hopefully it will happen naturally.I think doing "Batman Begins" will be helpful, because it's a movie that brings a lot of exposure."

And Holmes added, that she had trouble with the film's special-effects shots: "I found it to be more challenging to be in a huge effects movie, because a lot of the things aren't there.You have to trust the director and react to nothing."

She than said that her part is more a "talking" role, than an action one. She said "I'm not into stunts. I'm not one of those girls. I like it real easy."

About her collegues Kathie said "With this particular project, the cast was very intimidating. Chris Nolan is amazing, but I was just thrilled to be with these people. I was like, 'I have to do this so right and perfect.' I think if I get to be in another maybe I'll relax a bit."
She also added, that she would be ready to do more "Batman" movies: "They can have me if they want me for two more. I was so excited to be a part of something with such history. The experience was awesome."

According to Zap2it, Kathie also had the chance to do something, most of us moviefans dream of, riding in the new Batmobile. And she really loved it: "I saw the mobile take off and go down the street, and I was like, OK, I get it. I get why guys love cars. I'm in love right now, and all I want is that car. Every day I was on set I was e-mailing my friends, 'I just rode in the Batmobile. Ha ha. What are you doing?'". But she also said that she didn't get to drive the handmade Batmobile.
