What happens

Catwoman is a 2004 American superhero film directed by Pitof and written by John Rogers, John Brancato and Michael Ferris from a story by Theresa Rebeck, Brancato and Ferris, with music by Klaus Badelt. It is loosely based on the DC Comics character Catwoman. The film stars Halle Berry as the title character, along with Benjamin Bratt, Lambert Wilson, Frances Conroy and Sharon Stone. The film's plot centers on Patience Phillips, a meek graphic designer, who discovers a conspiracy within the cosmetics company she works for that involves a dangerous product that could cause widespread health problems. After being discovered and murdered by the conspirators, Patience is revived by an Egyptian mau cat that grants her cat-like metahuman abilities, allowing her to become the crime-fighting superheroine Catwoman. Produced by Village Roadshow Pictures and Denise Di Novi's Di Novi Pictures, Catwoman was released in the United States by Warner Bros. Pictures on July 23, 2004. The film was a box-office bomb, grossing $82.4 million worldwide against a budget of $100 million, and was universally panned by critics and audiences alike, with many considering it to be one of the worst films ever made, though it has developed a cult following as a "so-bad-it's-good" film. Additionally, it also received seven Golden Raspberry Award nominations, winning Worst Picture, Worst Director, Worst Actress (Berry), and Worst Screenplay. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
