From The Hollywood Reporter:

Warner Bros. Pictures must be hoping that Sharon Stone isn't allergic to cats because the studio has offered the actress a starring role as the female villain in "Catwoman." The part would pit her against Halle Berry, who's set for the title role. Stone is expected to sign on to the film, which is being directed by French helmer Pitof, with Village Roadshow Pictures and Di Novi Pictures producing. If Stone does accept, she would play Laurel, who is both the public face of a cosmetics company as well as the brains behind an evil operation she runs with her husband. Stone, who signed with WMA six months ago, next appears in the Walt Disney Co.'s "Cold Creek Manor." The "Catwoman" production also has its eye on Josh Lucas for the role of Detective Lone, Catwoman's love interest.
