Despite the mauling that Halle Berry's Catwoman movie has received from critics in the U.S., with USA Today saying it "belongs in the litter box" and the New York Post describing it as "about as sexy as a hairball", the actress has not only announced her desire to reprise the role of Patience Price in a Catwoman sequel, but she has also backed out of two more planned X-Men movie sequels.
According to Star magazine, Berry's decision was based on a combination of screen time, money, and the dominant story line demands in the upcoming X3.
"If Halle was going to be in the sequels, she wanted the focus of the films to be on her," a source was quoted as saying. "She priced herself right out."
The news follows the recent announcement that X-Men movie makers 20th Century Fox have dropped director Bryan Singer following his decision to revive the Superman film franchise for Warner Bros.
