Maggie Gyllenhaal on Her Katie Holmes Role

by Eliza Ferree

British Magazine reporter recently asked Maggie Gyllenhaal about her role on the new Batman Movie, The Dark Knight, and why she thought she got the part.

“I’m not walking into Katie Holmes’ performance. I’m not thinking of it as a role that anyone’s played before. I’m thinking of it as an opportunity to play somebody who’s alive and smart. Chris asked me to do this because he wanted me, not because he wants some generic lady in a dress.”

The truth is I agree and that isn’t meaning to be mean, but if you take on another person’s role you don’t want to be always compared to them. Maggie is her own person, she was chosen for this role for a reason, not because she is Katie but because she is herself. I can’t wait to see how this will all play out. I know many thinks it is because she was disses on Katie Holmes but the quote, “…not because he wants some generic lady in a dress,” might’ve meant that just because Katie wasn’t playing it meant the director would just pull anyone off the street. He pulled her in because she can act.
