Joss Whedon Wooed For 'Wonder Woman'

Producer Joel Silver confirmed to SCI FI Wire that he is wooing Buffy the Vampire Slayer creator Joss Whedon to write and direct a new film version of Wonder Woman. "I’m trying," Silver said in an interview at WonderCon in San Francisco on Feb. 19. "I’m trying to work a deal with Joss. ... I was just in the other room [where Whedon was talking about his upcoming SF movie, Serenity]. I don’t know if I could work that out. It’s a complicated deal to do, but I would love him to do it. It would be great if he could do it."

Silver (the Matrix films and the upcoming House of Wax) said that Whedon, an avowed comic fanatic and current author of Marvel’s Astonishing X-Men series, came to him with a new twist on the venerable character. "It’s just a great, legendary comic-book hero, and it’s one that has never been kind of brought back to life after Lynda Carter [who starred in the 1970s Wonder Woman TV series]. I mean, it’s a reinvention. ... Tim Burton reinvented Batman after Adam West, and ... [director Richard] Donner reinvented Superman after George Reeves. It’s time to do that to Wonder Woman. It’s a thing that could be great if it’s done great. ... The idea is to try to find a way to make it, and I thought Joss has a great idea, because he understands a kind of female superhero character, and also he’s great at what he does. So I’m trying to find the best way to do it. ... We’re working our way through it."

This has been a rumor since X2 (X-Men: 2) was released. And like I've been saying since, if there's anyone who can do it, a film adaptation of sexy amazonian Diana, it's Joss. He's one of the few writers/directors who - gets - it. He understands what the fans want and he delivers with precision.

Which why he should also be running the show for the seemingly defunct "X3.'

'Astonishing X-Men', anyone?

;)

I am a huge X-Men fan and I hope that Joss is the one who keeps the X-Men movie going!! But that would be great if he did the Wonderwoman movie too!!

[pacofajita]

That is friggin' awesome. Any speculation on who you guys think would do an awesome job as Diana?

I would go with Jennifer Garner, but since she played Elekta, that might be a little confusing.

I don't know, I'd have to pick someone we don't really know that much about. Like how Routh was cast as Supes.

Yeah, I know, I'm in the minority. I like Routh and can't wait for the movie.

[Kal-L, The Original]

I read this, too. I don't see why he can't do both-- just so long as they get done.

As for a favorite WW: I've had my favorite Wonder Women since they were talking about this film in the '80s (!), I've given up caring who they cast. Just want them to make the damn movie now!!! :D

I'm hoping that Joss casts a virtual unknown who can act, and, strut her stuff. The last thing we need is another 'Alba Incident' (see: Fantastic Four, Sin City).

Though this is film, and the only way I can see this movie getting financed is if there is a pretty well-known starlet in the lead.

Perhaps?:

http://img105.exs.cx/img105/7524/t03c52323qu.jpg

A Miss Kate Beckinsale? Mmm.

I would not be opposed to:

http://img185.exs.cx/img185/21/nicolesmaller1rb.jpg

She's old, I know, but still a good actress.

[kal-EltheRebel]

I think that they are making movies for the members of the JL so they can make a live action jla movie

[Spiked]

My pick for Wonder Woman: Catherine Zeta-Jones.

[BeldarofRemulak]

Eliza Dushku would be a great wonder woman! She kicks major butt!!!

[Summers]

I wouldnt mind an unknown to take the task.

[zhuuka]

I love anything in the Whedonverse, never got into Firefly though. If he makes it? I'll see it.

I'm hoping he takes a risk, a very big risk, and tries to cast a virtual unknown as the lead.

Then perhaps a 'Justice League' TV show that is a screen adaptation of 'Identity Crisis.'

It's the Joel Silver stories that make me a little sad, because our ex-Smilin' Jack Ruby used to love the producer so. But we must carry on, and tonight we must report to you the latest words from Silver's mouth in regards to Joss Whedon and Wonder Woman.

SciFi Wire caught up with Silver at Wondercon, and asked him about the creator of Buffy writing and directing a big screen version of DC Comics' Amazon Princess. "I'm trying," Silver said. "I'm trying to work a deal with Joss. ... I was just in the other room [where Whedon was talking about his upcoming SF movie, Serenity]. I don't know if I could work that out. It's a complicated deal to do, but I would love him to do it. It would be great if he could do it."

Silver went on to say "The idea is to try to find a way to make it, and I thought Joss has a great idea, because he understands a kind of female superhero character, and also he's great at what he does. So I'm trying to find the best way to do it. ... We're working our way through it."

Here's my take (I know you're dying for it): Whedon should stay away. We know he can do strong women - now move on to something else. That's beside the fact that I believe there is no audience for female superheroes (movies or comics) and Whedon would be doing this after his Serenity doesn't wow them at the box office (sorry, guys, I have no faith in the film's ability to make money. I am not saying it won't be good, I'm saying no one is going to see it) - he should find a homerun for his next picture. Take that goddamn X3 gig, Joss. If you're going to do a superhero movie, that should be the one.

I don't see why Joss can't play Gumby and do both 'X3' and 'Wonder Woman.' He did it before during the very beginning of 'Buffy', though he has gone on record saying that he never wanted to "nearly kill himself [by working so hard] ever again.":p

[LilWonderWoman]

i think should speak on this :p

i've known a movie has been in the works for a long time
so man ppl have been considered
if Joss Whedon does do the movie I sincerly hope he does not choose charisma carpenter for the role, because she has vocalized in the past she want the role. Carpenter would not be the right choice

that being said, i think they should go with a young unknown, of course she'd have to be at least 5'10, because amazons aren't 5'6 :lol:

one thing i think would be an awesome nod to the next generation would be to have Lynda Carter to play diana's mother Hippolyte .

As much as I adore Charisma, and as much as I loved 'Cordelia', I must concur in saying that she is not right for this role. :(

And once again, I'd love to see Joss make another unknown a star. Much like he did with the people he has cast before. :cool:

If you're going to do a superhero movie, that should be the one. I honestly don't see where there isn't a market/audience for female superheroes.

No one went to see Catwoman because it, well, sucked, basically. And it wasn't the Catwoman the general public knows. As for Elektra, she's an obscure character to the general public, 90+% don't know who she is, and those who saw Daredevil and didn't like it didn't go see Elektra based on Daredevil.

As for comics: Wonder Woman has gone through more than 200 issues since 1987. Birds of Prey is at 80. Spider-Girl is over 80. Those are just some of the female superhero titles. If there's no audience or market, who's buying these books?

But whatever. People have opinions even if they aren't well thought-out.



Anyway, I'd love to see Joss working on a Wonder Woman movie. And I hope an unknown is cast.

[PETER WEST]

I like that their making a Wonder Woman movie & other DC characters movies (It's about time)

For the role of Wonder Woman I'd pick

oh, I depise Joel Silver even more. Who is he say there is no audience. He better check the dvd sales for Catwoman, heck, look at all the revenue Xena and Buffy made for the networks, mechanise, and dvds. Heck, half the time in Hollywood they dont know what the specific target audience is until after they air it. oh, he annoys me and I dont get annoyed easily :mad:

Shrek was suppose to be for the kids, but far more adults loved it more. They were off on their target audience there.

[VersesBatman]

Yeah, the only reason Supergirl, Catwoman and Elecktra bombed because they sucked.

[Summers]

exactly. The storyline, acting, and it was like all thrown together in an hour....I never seen Elektra, so my statement is off Supergirl and Catwoman.

But there are great characters that are female the X-Men woman, Xana, Buffy, Sydney from Alias, the woman from The Matrix, and heck in Charlie's Angels has its moments. Kris Monroe was my favorite. These characters are proof that it can work as long as its executed and marketed well IMO.

I was just really offended by that remark by Silver.

[VersesBatman]

That was so lame. He's also forgetting The Fantastic Four and Batgirl.

[Summers]

Susan Storm, and Batgirl is a great example VB. I always thought it would be interesting to see Batgirl turn into the Oracle in a movie. That just progressed Barbara's character so much with that storyline. Too bad the messed Batgirl up in "Batman and Robin" movie :mad:.

[VersesBatman]

Well maybe if Batman begins does really well, someone can do Batgirl justice.

It wasn't Silver saying there's no audience, it was that Devin Faraci cat that wrote the article, whoever the hell he is.

No audience for a movie about strong women? Oh, okay, Devin, I haven't lived on Earth for the past few decades-- I'll just take your word for it. :rolleyes:

[Backward Galaxy]

The latest rumors have either Kim Basinger or Jessica Biehl in contention for the lead role, depending on how old they want the character to be.

Personally, I don't like either of those choices. I love Kim Basinger, but she's not Wonder Woman. I just plain don't like Jessica Biehl.

Kate Beckinsale, who I also adore (I'm a total Van Helsing mark) isn't a strong enough presence, IMO.

Monica Bellucci is a little ethnic, but if she could drop the accent I think she could pull it off.

You can keep Nicole Kidman. I flat out won't see it with her in the lead role.

Charisma wouldn't be a bad choice, but I wish her voice was a little deeper.

Zeta-Jones, geez I love her too, just doesn't fit the part IMO.

Eliza Dushku, LOVE HER, doesn't look like the character at all, but I'd buy the personality. Heck, I'd be afraid to fight her.

If not for the fact that she was Xena, I'd say that Lucy Lawless would be good in the part. She doesn't really look like the character, but she's got everything else going for her. Again, I'd be scared of her.

Of course, I'm thoroughly agitated because I recently saw SOMETHING with SOMEONE who would have been perfect for the part. Darn if I can remember who or what, though. So frustrating.

[axisoftime]

I also heard someone say Angelina Jolie would be up for the role.
And i hope they do make another Supergirl film 1 day,and this time get it right.Helen Slater was very good in it,and i think that says alot with the movie being so bad.

[VersesBatman]

Wasn't Sandra Bullock slated to be Wonder Woman?

[Yuui]

(On Lawless)

Just because Diana's an amazon, doesn't mean the appropriate actress has to be one as well.

...that, and I don't think Lawless has the chops to play anything other than a folky TV character.

I really despise that use of "ethnic".

If Bellucci is too "ethnic" for you, then why on Earth would you not be opposed to Charisma Carpenter? Charisma looks far more "ethnic" than Belluci. Hell, Zeta-Jones looks just as "ethnic" as Belluci.

Gravity, it lacks gravity. Floats like a bee, stings like a butterfly.

On one area of concurrence, I do agree that Charisma's voice is too nasally. :p

When Halle Berry was cast as Catwoman, people were up in arms that she was black, but I'm not allowed to call Bellucci too ethnic?

Despise anything you want, it's my opinion. In my opinion, she has very ethnicity specific features that don't strike me as features consistent with the way the character is drawn in the comics. Charisma Carpenter's appearance, IMO, is much more consistent. And, as I said above, I don't think Zeta-Jones is good for the part either.

Say whatever you want, the character of Wonder Woman is depicted a certain way in the comics... and it's not uber-Italian like Bellucci.

And don't think I'm slamming Italians here, bud, because I am one.

I only watched about half of that movie, and the only reason I got that far was because of SB. She and Sigourney are the only two women in Hollywood that can get me to watch a movie I wouldn't ordinarily see. I think they're both just fabulous, especially Sandra. There are hotter actresses out there, but none better as far as I'm concerned.

I agree. They also changed the color of Kingpin in Daredevil by having Micheal Clarke Duncan play him. I thought he did an amazing job. He was big, and had a very powerful voice like the Kingpin.

[Backward Galaxy]

Summers, I do have to give you credit for that one. Michael Clarke Duncan was a PERFECT Kingpin, IMO. That is one example that does shoot down my theory.

I still stand by it, though, even though I love Monica Bellucci.

JOSS WHEDON CONFIRMED FOR WONDER WOMAN:

Superhero Hype! (http://superherohype.com/news.php?id=2734):


Silver Pictures, producer of the revolutionary, $3 billion-grossing "Matrix" franchise, has signed Joss Whedon, creator of the phenomenally popular Buffy the Vampire Slayer television series, to write and direct the feature film action adventure Wonder Woman based on the DC Comics character. The announcement was made today by Jeff Robinov, President of Production, Warner Bros. Pictures.

"We are excited about working with Joss," Robinov said. "He brings great energy and creativity to the process. His work on Buffy makes him uniquely qualified to handle the Wonder Woman character."

"There's no one better than Joss to adapt the legendary Wonder Woman comic book character created in the 1940s into a dynamic feature film for 21st century audiences," producer Joel Silver added. "Wonder Woman was the first great female superhero to emerge from comic books and later inspire millions of fans in her television incarnation, but unlike her counterparts Batman and Superman, this groundbreaking heroine has yet to be reinvented for the feature film arena."

"Wonder Woman is the most iconic female heroine of our time, but in a way, no one has met her yet," Whedon said. "What I love most about icons is finding out what's behind them, exploring the price of their power. When Joel and I began discussing the character, I realized there is a woman behind the legend who is very fascinating, very uncompromising, and in her own way, almost vulnerable. She's someone who doesn't belong in this world, and since everyone I know feels that way about themselves, the character clicked for me."

Whedon created and executive produced the hit television series Buffy the Vampire Slayer, which ran for seven seasons on The WB and UPN, based on his screenplay for the 1992 feature film of the same name. Whedon also created and executive produced the successful Buffy spin-off series Angel, and wrote the screenplays for the films Toy Story and Alien: Resurrection. He is currently completing post-production on the feature film Serenity, which he wrote and directed based on his television series Firefly.

Wonder Woman will be produced by Joel Silver and Leonard Goldberg, and is based on the DC Comics character created by William Moulton Marston.

Wonder Woman will be released worldwide by Warner Bros. Pictures, a Warner Bros. Entertainment Company.

yeah i was looking for it yesterday

i dunno how to feel about this.... i hope he doesn't make the movie all campy and what not

and i really really hope he doesn't cast charisma carpenter

but a movie is being made which is awesome. There should be a push like a cartoon or something to get the public to know the character better JLA unlimited doesn't (excuse the pun) do her justice

i think the reason other movies flopped is because people didn't really know the characters

but there has always been a spider man, batman, superman, and x men cartoon

and as for hell boy, it looked cool and i thought it was a bit of a fluke to be honest.

that MHO and im stickin to it :p

[LilWonderWoman]

i heart that!

[Backward Galaxy]

I hope that Whedon spends a lot of time on Themyscera and builds it up as a really amazing place. That society is such an important aspect of the mythos, I think it would be a grave mistake to ground the character on planet Earth and leave her there.

Not that I think Whedon would, I'm just saying what I'd like to see in the film.

[Spiked]

I'm ready for some actresses' names to be thrown out there. I know the script isn't even written but no harm in being anxious. :)

[moody12381]

My pick is either Hilary Swank or Mia Maestro from Alias

[LilWonderWoman]

Mia Maestro i think is too short

and Hillary swank, i dunno i dont think she has that look for wonder woman

[Summers]

I still think either Joss will pick a fairly unknown(which he is known for), or one of his actresses from his shows. At least we know he actually reads the comics unlike some directors or producers.

[PETER WEST]

Their some of things that I'm wondering about this Wonder Woman movie.

(1)Is this an Origin Story?

(2)Is Wonder Woman in this movie Diana princess of the Amazons of Themyscira? or is this some other Amazon.

(3)Is Wonder Woman going to be wearing (The Classic uniform (Red, Yellow & Blue, with the bracelets & Lasso)?

(4) Is Diana going to be living in New York City like in The Comics & Mythlogy?

(5)Is Cheetah The Main villian (as rumored) & is she Barbara Ann Minerva, & is her story the same or mess up.

[PETER WEST]

Some Wonder woman pics.

What version of her costume do you think we see in the movie ?

This is the costume I hope they use.

You've got your removable cape which adds a kind of regal-look to the costume, and a skirt that both serves as an homage to the old school costume AND makes it look less like a bathing suit.

[PETER WEST]

I like this version

I like the above costume posted by Peter. Not sure if I like the skirt version or not. Skirt costumes remind of Supergirl. *shrugs*

I like this one out of all of them. I always thought the skirt was cute lol.

I don't like the skirt version , Supergirl OMG that movie was bad. Helen Slater was a good supergirl, but the storyline was major BS.

[Backward Galaxy]

I just think that the regular costume looks too much like a bathing suit and would make it difficult for audiences to take her seriously. I really think to just throw her out there in the regular costume, you'd get a lot of people who'd see it and think "Baywatch the Superhero".

And you think with a skirt the audiences will take her seriously. You've got to be kidden me right.

All I can say is I hope they try to keep the costume as classic as possible.

[Summers]

well, we know they gotta keep the lasso, wristbands, and crown lol.

Actually, I'm not kidding. I do think they'll take her more seriously in the skirt than they would in the straight bathing suit.

You want to add some kind of leggings? Fine. But with the regular costume, you can tell how long it's been since she got her bikini-line waxed. At least the skirt blocks that.

I don't think you could possibly get away with putting anyone in the regular costume and have people take her the least bit seriously. At least if you add a cape and the skirt, she's more covered than not.

[Summers]

how about modernize it? Turn into a skort. Shorts and skirt together. Some of them can be really cute.

[VersesBatman]

Oh why are they talking about changing the suit?

[Spiked]

IESB.net released an exclusive video with Joss talking about Serenity and Wonder Woman! He talks about the release date, casting, story, etc. One quote I'm sure some would like to hear: "It's not going to be campy at all."

Wonder Woman Costume News
Source: pimpernel
March 20, 2005


The new issue of Entertainment Weekly has a bit on Joss Whedon writing and directing Wonder Woman and mentions what the costume will NOT look like:

A "Marvel boy," Joss Whedon never really connected with rival house DC Comics' Wonder Woman, but now the guy's madly in love with her and is gonna write and direct Warner Bros.' long delayed feature! "She represents something absolutely pure," says the Buffy creator, who says his Amazon will not, repeat not, wear "star-spangled panties" a la Lynda Carter's TV incarnation. Whedon now sees it as a match made in fanboy heaven. "When I was mulling this over, my friend said, 'Joss, look at your freakin' resume. You have two things on it: wonder and woman. That's all you write!'"

Not sure how much stalk should be put into this, but it is interesting.

[Summers]

thanks, Spiked. See we knew it wouldnt be campy :D.

[BuZzArD 8012]

All I know is that Charisma should take this part. She is just perfect for it :D.

[Summers]

we are going to have to wait and see what Joss decides.

[Spiked]

From the video it seems that Joss really isn't considering the casting. I think he's really focused on getting a script written first then the casting. Which I think is important.

[Indigo]

Monica Bellucci is 5'9". Diana really should be 6' or more, if possible, but... I could, err, make an exception for Monica. Meow!

Monica isn't toned and buff enough, but she definitely has the classical Mediterranean beauty to fit the role. Plus... she can, err, fill out the eagle just fine. If you know what I mean. * coughs * Hey, it's part of the character's physical image. Honestly, I'm not being a pig. Really. Diana should be both voluptuous and graceful. That's, err, for verisimilitude, not just for my preference.

* coughs *

So... lots of weather we've been having, eh? How about that local sports team?

Which I love, and another thing he has in common with Singer.

[Spiked]

It's very important, not only for the writer/director to get a great script written, but also for the actress who will play Wonder Woman and the other supporting actors. Look what happened to Halle Berry with Catwoman. She signed on for the movie before even reading the script and was forced to make the movie. It's a shame more actors are willing to sign on without reading a script or with a mediocre script and not push to have it better before committing to it. It's even worse when the writer and/or director feels satisfied with a less than stellar script. Fortunately that won’t be a problem with this project. :)

oh, I know. And now they are stand-bys with sequels. Actor/Actresses are signed on without knowing the sequels script. I just keep remembering his casting on BtVS. Remember he never intended to Sarah to be Buffy, but she was just too optimistic and a versatile actress to be Cordy so he made her Buffy. He ended up altering the character of Buffy just a little bit to suit Sarah more. And Amber Benson was not his first choice for Tara. It was Marti Noxon who got her as Tara on her recommendation and worked. So I dont know. Those two incidences were lucky to a certain extent, and hopefully we get lucky here as well.

[Spiked]

Sometimes things just fall into place. Other times it can be a wreck. You just have to be really careful when casting such a title role.

More Wonder Woman new from Joss thanks to tvguide.com:


Question: Now, I think we all know where you stand on the casting for Joss Whedon's Wonder Woman (Entertainment News 3/17), but I feel obliged to mention my best friend's belief that the one and only (aside from Lynda Carter, natch) choice is Lucy Lawless. If ever the opportunity presents itself, be sure to pass on to Joss this viable second choice (since you would naturally push for Lauren Graham). — Brian Edwards

Ausiello: I've got good news and bad news for you, Bri. The good news: Such a chance actually did present itself last Thursday, when Joss phoned me during a break from editing Serenity to chat about lassoing Wonder Woman and resurrecting a certain 150-year-old, English vamp on WB (more on that later). The bad news: I never got around to pitching Lawless. I did, however, find out that Whedon is months away from finding his ideal Woman. "Everybody is in agreement that casting is not an issue right now," he says. "It's not a vehicle to be built around a particular star. We want to write the thing, find the right character and then figure out who should play her. There are various famous people whose names have come up, because that always happens, but you know, we're talking about Wonder Woman here. Those are tough booties to fill." That said, it sounds like Whedon knows enough about Lynda Carter's successor to rule out Lawless and (sigh) Graham. "I think we will go a little younger than the traditional idea of Wonder Woman," he says, adding that the new Princess Diana will likely be in her early twenties and played by someone outside the Buffyverse. "It's a movie, not a party for my friends." That certainly bodes well for rumored front-runner Jessica Biel. (And I repeat: Sigh... )

I really like how Joss is going about this movie. He's really concentrating on the writing and story then the casting. And I'm sure a lot will be pleased that Joss will not cast any of the Buffyverse actors, which I think is a good decision.

[Summers]

Wow, very impressive. We'll we knew there would be two options either Buffyverse actors or someone else. He's being very diplomatic about this. Which I love. I swear him and Singer need to do a movie together lol.

thanks, Spiked.

[Spiked]

A new rumor for a Wonder Woman candidate is Misha Burton. As we know Joss isn't concentrating on casting until the story is finished. Plus this is an obvious awful choice. I still remember when her name was thrown around for Lois Lane. Anyway, thought I'd give the heads up.

[Kal'sGirl]

TSI just gave me this link and so I share it w/ all of you-

Does Wonder Woman Hail from Orange County? (http://www.moviehole.net/news/5314.html)

Joss is on something. I love the O.C. but Mischa looks like she could be snapped in half. That is NOT wonderful.

[BuZzArD 8012]

Thx for that Kal's Girl :D.

[Spiked]

I wouldn't worry about it. I really doubt she's even on Whedon's mind.

[Spiked]

From MSN.com:


Who Is The Next 'Wonder Woman'?


Power up the invisible jet and get those bulletproof bracelets shined: After years of standing in the shadows, the fabled Amazon princess is finally coming to the big screen. Last week Warner Bros. and producer Joel Silver announced that Joss Whedon would write and direct the first "Wonder Woman" movie.

Whedon is best known for creating "Buffy The Vampire Slayer" and its acclaimed spin-off "Angel," but he has a long career in the movie business, having written the screenplays for "Toy Story" (a group effort) and "Alien: Resurrection." Whedon is currently enjoying good buzz with his upcoming sci-fi adventure "Serenity," which is based on his short-lived Fox TV series, "Firefly." But beyond his background with strong female heroines, Whedon has written a number of comic books, including a current run on "Astonishing X-Men." In fact, Whedon had long been rumored to take over "X3." Whether that was something he was seriously considering is unclear, but he's excited about his new project.

As he said in the announcement's press release, "Wonder Woman is the most iconic female heroine of our time, but in a way, no one has met her yet. When Joel and I began discussing the character, I realized there is a woman behind the legend who is very fascinating, very uncompromising and, in her own way, almost vulnerable. She's someone who doesn't belong in this world, and since everyone I know feels that way about themselves, the character clicked for me."

What does this mean? Well, don't expect a campy homage to the beloved '70s TV show that starred Lynda Carter. Look for a more serious take. I personally hope that includes strong mythological ties the character developed when she was "reborn" by writer/artist George Perez in the 1980s and that continue to resonate in the comic today.

But who will play her? If the filmmakers decide to go for a big movie star, there may not be a lot to choose from. Sandra Bullock has been named as a possibility for the role for years, but at age 41, she might be a tad old for the numerous sequels the studio is obviously anticipating. Angelina Jolie might be perfect, bringing an exotic look and acting chops for the role. However, she's done the icon thing before with Lara Croft, and that didn't end well. Sarah Michelle Gellar made Whedon's Buffy come to life, but rumor has it they aren't interested in working together again. Jennifer Love Hewitt is another actress that people speculated could be a contender, but she might be a bit short for the role. Naomi Watts would be great, but would she do it?

A more authentic idea would be to go with a Latin actress, who would reflect Wonder Woman's Amazon roots. Salma Hayek and Penélope Cruz fit that bill, but Hayek is just way too short and Cruz's accent would be a problem for most American audiences. Jessica Alba is making waves with big movies this year, but one of those is "Fantastic Four," where she's playing the Invisible Woman. You can't play two different super heroes -- those are the rules (sorry, Jennifer Garner). Eva Mendes was great in "Hitch" and would bring some sass to the role, but for a truly inspired choice, I would consider (don't laugh) Jennifer Lopez. I know what you're thinking: "J-Lo? Did you see 'Gigli' and 'Jersey Girl'? Are you crazy?" Yes, everyone knows she has had some tough times recently, but her career is rebounding. And though she hasn't shown it lately, the girl can act when she wants too (remember "Out of Sight"?). She has the star power, the beauty and the booty for the role.

What is more likely is for an unknown to be cast in the role. Warner Bros. went this route with "Superman Returns," and it allows for more of the budget to be spent on production. Expect the real dollars to go to a more recognizable actor as the picture's villain. One lesser-known actress who is already volunteering is Morena Baccarin, who stars in "Serenity." While sitting in on a Los Angeles comic convention Q&A panel with Whedon last weekend, she made her desire to be considered apparent. Baccarin is of Brazilian ancestry, which might fit Whedon's requirements. But a search will likely go far and wide with many screen tests and internal discussions to come. Don't expect an announcement for some time.

Who do you think should be in the new "Wonder Woman" movie? Let me know at buzz@microsoft.com.

The writer just throws around some big names. Personally I think Whedon will cast an unknown. Thought this was interesting and somewhat laughable. Come on, Jennifer Lopez? Yeah right...

[Summers]

Yea, with his record with an unknown or a fairly unknown.

[SteveS]

Jennifer Lopez translates to 'flop' at the box office.

[LilWonderWoman]

lopez's name has been thrown around for a while, and um no. not because she's not a bankable start but she just doesnt have the it factor for wonder woman. she's short too at 5'7

i definately agree with the writer to go with a latin actress for the simple fact or being able to have the look of the amazonian.

the chick from the oc is way too skinny wonder woman had hips for a reason, which is why she represents strength for so many women, she's a classic beauty and has that hourglass figure.

charisma carpenter no way!

[Spiked]

Joss has said that he will not cast any of the Buffyverse actors. I'm sure it'll be an unknown.

[SteveS]

Amazons have nothing to do with Latin America, they were described really only by ancient Greeks. If anything, they might look like Iranians, although some have said eastern Europeans. A female soldier's body was found in a Roman cemetary recently in Europe, but she was described as being broad or thick-bodied.

(except, of course, a very questionable report from some Spaniards during the Conquest coming under some attack by women in South America, but whatever the truth with that report, these people were not 'the Amazons.')

[Backward Galaxy]

It seems to me, being so closely associated with Greek mythology, that casting a LATIN AMERICAN in the role would be a bit absurd.

and why is that, people of other races play different races all the time.

btw lynda carter is half mexican.....and she was a damn good wonder woman but not because of that. but i think her ethnicity certainly played a role in her physique

therefore the was a legitimate reason why the author mentioned it in the first place

I'm not saying you CAN'T cast a Latin American in the role. All I'm saying is that Wonder Woman doesn't look like JLo. She doesn't have those features that tend to be consistent with Latin American women.

Example: Halle Berry doesn't look like Catwoman.
Exception: Michael Clarke Duncan doesn't look like Kingpin.

We'll see.

And as far as Lynda Carter was concerned... I don't care if she was 100% Nigerian, the fact is she didn't LOOK it and so she still fit the part.

Hey, it may be "right" or it may be "wrong", but Wonder Woman is not now nor has she ever been drawn as an African American woman or a Latin American woman or an Eskimo woman. Casting such a woman in the role would immediately put that woman at a disadvantage and would definitely require justification in her performance... in other words, she'd have to be DAMN good because she couldn't skirt through on her resemblance alone.

[Snake_Corda]

Regardless...If the actress is good, I think it will win people over...obviously it would help if she looked the part. Whedon's pension for picking unknowns will alleviate some of this I believe. Why would he want to pick an actress that could carry so much weight or baggage that it would outweigh the film as a whole.

Personally, It would take some time getting used to seeing a woman play her if I didn't think she fit the mold, but I wouldn't hold it Whedon or anybody if she is the right person for the role, and does it justice. Let's just wait and see which way Whedon is going to go :D .

[Summers]

Wonder Woman: Back To The Beginning

Whedon said he will select parts of the Amazon's legend that have integrity.

Joss Whedon, recently selected to helm the upcoming "Wonder Woman" film, said he intends the iconic female character to go back to her roots, according to an interview with cable television network VH-1.

"Originally, I was hesitant," said the 40-year-old Whedon, who refers to himself as a "comic-book geek." "But then it's also sort of why I became really interested, because she doesn't have so much baggage for me, the way, say, Spider-Man would."

Whedon, however, admits he's been handed a bicycle with training wheels attached.

"It's been in development for a lot of years. Producer Joel Silver called me, and I came in. When he pitched it, he had a very clear idea of what he wanted to do, which I thought was really smart," Whedon said. "But it was very unformed, and it sort of formed in my brain.

"What I began to realize is I had no choice but to write it," he said.

Whedon, who is in the process of completing the upcoming "Serenity" film based on the cancelled Fox series "Firefly" said he's anxious to flesh out the back story of the Amazon princess.

"I think she sort of sprang out fully formed, much like Athena herself," he said. "In the '40s, when it was first done, she came to the world from Paradise Island and then went about her business, and so that experience, which is really a rite of passage, the same as any hero has to go through, has never really been investigated the way I want."

How much will he borrow from more than 60 years of continuously produced comic books? While Whedon says he's never been a huge fan of Wonder Woman's ongoing titles, his familiarity with them will likely encourage long-time comics fans.

"I mean, I've seen some really good books, some really great work by people — late-'80s artist/writer George Perez and late-'90s artist/writer John Byrne, a lot of guys," Whedon said. "Obviously, I've seen the covers by female superhero artist Adam Hughes, but who hasn't? However, I've seen her more with the Justice League of America and stuff like that."

When asked if he plans to incorporate important parts of the Wonder Woman legend in the film, Whedon did mention that he's going to be very picky when choosing what to use and what to ignore.

"I have a take on all of them," he said. "It has to do with who she is, and they have a certain integrity. I'm not going to do anything silly.

"There's a reason why she has those bracelets. There's a reason why she's got the lasso. I think it's going to work out really well."

He made no mention of the invisible plane that has been phased out of the most recent comics incarnations, though.

Of course, developing the Wonder Woman film isn't all hard work. There are benefits from this project that Whedon has already begun to enjoy.

During the recent Wizard World Los Angeles comic book convention, actress Jewel Staite approached Whedon with a proposal. "Can I be in your Wonder Woman movie? I'll love you forever," she said.

Whedon's response to Staite and everyone else interested in the part is that he isn't leaning toward any actress — at least, not yet.

"No leaning," he said. "I'm standing straight."

[tiger17]

If Lauren Graham had a few more curves she'd be perfect for this role. She's got the Amazon height, the dark hair/blue eyes combo I love, and most importantly...the acting skills.

[zanos]

But she wouldn't be able to deflect bullets off her ass like jlo would.

[tiger17]

but you can bounce quarters off it!!!

[LexLuthorMetropolis]

The prospect of this film is sounding more and more likely than. I'm proud to see Joss Whedon on the project.

Now, let's see who is going to join the cast?

I'd love to see Jordana Brewster take on the role or at least someone that is truly in the vein of Wonder Woman.

Long Live Lynda Carter.

[LilWonderWoman]

Jordana Brewster is actaully an ok choice, the only one who seems plausible(sp)?

[LexLuthorMetropolis]

She's got a great onscreen personality and she can play coy. THE FACULTY and THE FAST AND THE FURIOUS come to mind.

She's got the looks as well. Girl next door appeal.

[tiger17]

Yeah, Jordana Brewester. Excellent choice. She's young enough to be viable for sequels as well.

[RedKgentleman]

Eliza Dusku, spelled her last name wrong, would be a perfect Wonder Woman. Anyone agree?

[LilWonderWoman]

she's too short but if she was way way taller she would be pretty good

[Spiked]

Now that we know that Joss isn't using the "bathing suit" version of the costume what other kind will he use? Possibly the skirt version?

[Summers]

Perhaps, or a skort? A skirt and short together. Personally I love the skirt.

[Spiked]

I do have to say the skirt is nice. I don't know if there are any other versions of the Wonder Woman costume?

[Summers]

Peter had pics of them on the previous pages, but they were either with the skirt or a bathing suit.

[tiger17]

Isn't there one with shorts like the Hooter's girls wear...or is that what's meant by the bathing suit one?

However, while we (Joss and I) share the same birthday, we don't share the same mind.

[nipvillesmlltuk]

Actually, if you look in IMDB, Lynda Carter had mentioned that in passing the torch, she'd pick "Catherine-Zeta Jones" or "Cindy Crawford". I don't know how C.C. acts...I've never seen her movie (or movies). Is she good?

L.C. is also in the new "Dukes of Hazards" movie!! Sorry, but I didn't know that:) .

Oh, plus. I posted this on another site...but, if you guys look up this name, I think she'd be a close to perfect choice...Nadia Bjorlin...what a WW!!! She's young, the eyes, the body and she acts very well!!

[Spiked]

Some talk with Joel Silver:


Joel Silver was there, since he produced House of Wax, and he also happens to be producing Wonder Woman, so our intrepid journalist took an opportunity to pick the man's brain about the Amazonian adaptation:

Q: Can you give us a quick update on Wonder Woman?

Joel Silver: We made a deal with Joss Whedon, he's on board. He's finishing Serenity, and when that's done, he's going to start writing the script. He has fantastic ideas, and the things he's told me I can't wait for. He really has a feel for the character. it's a full-on origin story, and it's really good. when we have a script, then we'll deal with the casting.

Q: Will it be an unknown?

Joel Silver: I don't know which way we're going to go, but when we see a script, we'll make a decision.

A full-on origin story is interesting, since that would seem to indicate that some reasonable amount of time is going to be spent on Paradise Island, at least going by the more modern iterations of Wonder Woman's origin. More of a focus on the fantasy/mythology element of the character would be interesting, and definitely set it apart from the recent failed sister superheroes.

It will be an origin story (which I think we already knew?) and they're still unsure if they'll cast an unknown or not.

[Summers]

I love comic book movies that are origin stories :D.

Thanks, Spiked :).

[Snake_Corda]

Definately. I prefer those over any others usually. Getting to see visually on the big screen what we've always envisioned. Yes, thanks Spiked :D.

[Spiked]

No problem guys! :)

Glad it's an origin story. Wonder what Joss has up his sleeve for the story? Hmm...

[Darth_Elvis]

I think W W shoul be one of those Ms. Fitness USA women. They're not humongous like bodybuilder chicks but they got enough muscle for me to fear a kick in the nads. *Torrie Wilson* from WWE was a ms. Fitness chick. W W should have that kind of body. A natural brunette though IMO.

More rumors being shot down:


Joss Whedon - ’Wonder Woman’ Movie - No ’Lost’ Actor In The Cast
From Tvguide.com - 2005-04-25th
WONDER NO MORE: Don’t believe rumors that Lost castababe Evangeline Lilly has lassoed the role of Wonder Woman in Joss Whedon’s in-the-works feature film. Sources close to the production insist that casting has not even begun. As I understand it, producers’ first priority is finding her invisible jet.

So, nothing to worry about. Joss is still concentrating on the story before casting.

[manofsteele05]

I was thinking that TPTB should cast an unknown to play Wonder Women but I have been hearing talks about them wanting to cast J-lo, I know someone may have already said it but I just think they just want j-lo to do it because they already see that nice big booty in blue daisy duke type shorts but if that's the case why not have VIDA GUERRA play the part.. if ya dont know who I'm talking about email me and I will fill you in. Don't want to break the rules on the board here but her site would make you agree with me on this one. But seriously I liked the idea of Kate Beckinsale I think she is the best candidate

[Spiked]

I was reading a Serenity article from Yahoo! Movies that had this tidbit:


"I thought, 'Wagon Train' in space," he said on the phone from Cape Cod, where he is conceiving his upcoming "Wonder Woman" script.

So it's safe to say that he's now working on Wonder Woman!

[Spiked]

I think Noa Tishby (http://img326.imageshack.us/my.php?image=theislandpres45uo.jpg) has great potential to play Wonder Woman. Her recent credits include: The Island, Connecting Dots, and guest starred in episodes of Las Vegas, Enterprise, Nip/Tuck, and CSI: Miami.

Wonder Woman news from In Focus magazine! Will Wonder Woman fly? Is there going to be an invisible plane? Who's the villian? Read!


V. WONDER WOMAN:
Flight and Height

I understand you’ve not yet written a word of the “Wonder Woman” screenplay.
Not too many words.

Did you tell Warner Bros. you weren’t keen to deal with it until “Serenity” enters release?
Not release. It’s not that I haven’t been working on it.

You have been working on it?
The way I work, I’m like a vulture. I circle and circle and then I dive. I usually don’t actually write anything until I know exactly how it’s going to turn out. I don’t “let the computer take me away.” I’m an absolute Nazi about structure. I make outlines. I make charts and graphs with colors.

You’ve done that for “Wonder Woman”?
Not for “Wonder Woman,” because I’m still working out the plot. But I’m finding the moments that matter; I’m finding the things that make the story really resonate; the things that I just can’t wait to film. I have great big questions to answer but I’m in that beautiful, free-form poetical place where you just get to think up moments and see if they fit in your movie. And that’s almost more fun than anything. And that work, which is a vital part of what got me interested in doing the job in the first place, is being done.

Will Diana be able to fly under her own power, or will an invisible plane be involved?
I do not believe she will be flying. I think we have a guy who flies. I don’t see her flying. She might jump. There could be some hopping. And there may in fact be an invisible plane. But if there is, it will be because it came out really cool. And I have theories about how to make that work.

As you go about casting Diana, do you set a height requirement? How important is it that the Amazon princess be tall?
It’s important. I’m looking for somebody statuesque, regal, beautiful, who can really act and do a lot of stunts with no elbow or knee pads. I’m asking a lot. So if I happen to find all those qualities in somebody who does not quite meet my height requirement, I will be casting some really short love interest. The height is definitely a part of the package. But the most important part? No. And the fact of the matter is, a woman stands as tall as she makes you think she is. For example, I always thought [“Buffy” writer-producer] Marti Noxon was four inches taller than she actually was. I just found that out last week.

Will Diana contend with a print-derived supervillain?
At this point I’m looking at creating something a little different. I don’t think her rogues gallery necessarily offers me what I need. But that’s not a final decision, that’s just my instinct.

I would love to see Diana fly but a jet would be cool too! Sounds exciting! :D

[Summers]

Yea, jet it next best thing. I love how it looks in JLU.

Its sweet to hear Joss still talking with/about his writing staff :D.

Thanks, for the new info Ryan.

Joss Whedon - "Wonder Woman" Movie - Kate Beckinsale wants the role


From **********.co.uk - By Daniel Saney - 2005-07-31st - (Buffy writer & director)

Kate Beckinsale has her eye on the role of Wonder Woman in next year’s adaptation.

The 1970s TV show /D.C. Comics series is being brought to the big screen by Buffy and Angel creator Joss Whedon but so far lacks a heroine.

IOL.com quotes Beckinsale as saying: "I dressed up as her last Hallowe’en so it would be good to do it again."

Meanwhile according to The Sun TV’s Wonder Woman, Lynda Carter, told reporters in Los Angeles: "People have talked about Sandra Bullock but she’s too old, and so is Catherine Zeta-Jones.

"You want someone that is really fresh. I think she should be an unknown and about 20-years-old."

Other suggestions have included Sarah Michelle Gellar and Charisma Carpenter of the Buffy stable, Katie Holmes or Jessica Biel.

They are never going to let the CC and SMG rumor go will they :lol:.

[Spiked]

I too love the look of the invisible jet in JLU. Hopefully they can make it work for the live action movie.

[Summers]

I hope so too. Its going to be kind hard because its easy for JLU to have it since its a cartoon. But live action is whole other story.

[LexLuthorMetropolis]

The Lynda Carter WW worked exceptionally well as TV Pilot movie - it was a bit slow, but it was the character. Knowing Joss Whedon and his writing style, he's going to play the dynamic that makes the character what it is and play to the strengths of the character.

Joss Whedon - "Wonder Woman" Movie - Kate Beckinsale wants the role



They are never going to let the CC and SMG rumor go will they :lol:.


It´s not a rumor anymore, CC has stated that she in fact does want the role! I think she would make a great choice, and a better one than most of other actresses who have been sugested for the part so far!

[rae19780625]

I'm from Dallas, and one time I heard on the radio that they were considering: Jessica Alba, Mischa Barton, & Katie Holmes. I have my own to nominate, and I may stand alone on this: Eliza Dushku, Jessica Biel, Jennifer Love Hewitt (not much of a fan, she's a bit girly, but I think she would resemble Wonder Woman than the above mentioned--could be way off base), and someone had mentione Kate Beckinsale earlier in a post I think. That would be cool too.

I´ll agree with you on Kate Beckinsale and Jessica Biel, they played tuff roles before, proved they could do it, they still wouldn´t be as powerful at it as Charisma Carpenter, but they could still pull it off.
Eliza Dushku is sadly to short, but other than that, not a bad choice!
The others: Jessica Alba, Misha Barton, Katie Holmes, Jennifer Love Hewitt, Angelina Jolie, no way for various reasons!

[suave_man]

Charisma Carpenter and Jessica Biel are the only ones that I can really see for the role. The others I really don't see, although it's not a bad thought to put Jessica Alba in the Wonderwoman costume! lol

[umm]

Sorry, I just can´t picture Jessica Alba as Wonder Woman! Even though she is 5'7, has played some tuff roles in the past, she still seems fragile somehow, simly not tuff enough to make a convincing Wonder Woman.

[rae19780625]

I agree with you. She's a pretty girl and I haven't seen much of her acting to be honest so I can't really comment on that... but some people feel that Fantastic Four got mixed reviews because the characters lacked chemistry. I wonder if they would feel the same if she were to be Wonder Woman. I think it's because she's a "now" actress at the moment that that's why she might be considered for the role. I guess I need to see more of Charisma's acting because her name is repeatedly mentioned. I watched Buffy years ago but don't remember her well enough to say I can picture her in the role. They need to pick a good actress first of all and then worry about training her to kick butt (if that need be the case).

[Welling_is_pretty]

I am a big fan of Wonder Woman and despair when she is written wrong. When I heard that Joss was writing the big screen movie I nearly screamed with joy. "At last!" I thought, "someone will write Diana right!"
I began to grow wary though when Joss announced that he was not going to have the costume in the movie. It brought back shades of Cathy Lee Crosby (yes, I know she wore that thing at the end of the movie but...) or the I Ching era.
I hope that my faith in Joss (who is a GOD, let's face it!) will be proven correct.
One way or another I can't wait to hear/see more about this project.

Oh, and as for the whole casting thing: I dont' want to see ANY of the women who have touted as playing the Princess in the role. I would rather it be an unknown (like Brandon in the Superman movie; like Chris Reeve before him; like Lynda Carter, etc.). Perhaps Joss should start scouring the soaps? :lol:

Well I was just joking. I know she looks like a fragile person but the only reason I would see her as Wonder Woman would be to see her in that costume. WOW! I'm sure she would look hot in it! But with all kidding aside, I would want either Charisma Carpernter or Jessica Biel for the role.

[j03superbat]

I'd wish she'd fly under her own power. She needs to be the most powerful woman on Earth and there are other superheroines that can fly. Flight is a symbol of power to me. If you're riding around in an invisible jet, it's not the same.

It's still cool, though.

[Backward Galaxy]

I don't see any reason why she couldn't have both the ability to fly and the invisible plane.

[umm]

Any news on who is going to play Wonder Woman? I mean are they even going to do the movie? they have been rather silent.

[Randy G.]

I agree that we need an unknown to play Diana.
I would LOVE to see Lynda Carter as the Queen Mother though. That would seem so appropriate. :)

[1.21 gigawatts]

I can't see Mary Camden as Wonder Woman.

I can completely see the luscious Charisma Carpenter as Wonder Woman. What a sexy woman.

I'd love for Lynda Carter to play Themiscyra.

I hope the costume is a little more risque than Lynda Carter's costume.

[Mysticlies]

whats with the rumour that Satu Rautaharju may get the part? anyone even know who she is? because I don't. :)

[ChlarkKent]

As of right now, they're in negotiations with Priyanka Chopra (http://www.cinemaexpress.com/archaics/150204/images/15Priyankachopra.jpg) I personally think Denise Quiñones (http://www.denise-quinones.com/) (the Angel of Vengeance from episode 5-13 of Smallville) would be awesome!

[k18]

Really? Priyanka Chopra? Her acting isn't really that great.

[Summers]

I thought neither actress was all that great lol.

[BatzarroWWD]

Me either. When the idea of a WW movie started getting bandied about the first names that popped into my head were Geena Davis and Terry Farrell.

Although, the more I think about it, the more I think that Krista Kelly (SV "Heat") could be a pretty decent contender.

Kelly? Don't you mean Allen? Maybe she gets credtited as both sometimes. I'll check it out. By the way...have you seen her in the new Toby Keith video? Even if your not a Country music fan (which everyone should be) it's worth watching. She's, for lack of a better word, perfect.

[yellowqueen22]

According to some sources Rachel Bilson (Summer on "The O.C.") has been officially cast as Wonder Woman.

They can't be serious! The only role she can master is the one on O.C! Come on! Well, I guess we know already now, if the movie will flop or not! And it will, should they cast her in the role!

[yellowqueen22]

It isn't one hundred percent confirmed... it's just the current rumor... although some news sources are reporting it as if it is 100% accurate. As for her acting, I'm not sure. We really haven't seen her in much else. I'm waiting to see "The Last Kiss" before I decide since she is one of the leading roles and it is getting a lot of hype.

[ILuvLoVe]

Rachael Bilson is a horrible actress in my opinion. Plus she's only like 70 pounds and what 5'0?? I don't see that happening at all. I really hope they cast someone unknown or at least someone who isn't that "famous"

[tiger17]

I gotta agree with Luv on this one. I don't want a wafer thin Wonder Woman. Curvy but sans silicone/saline would be great. Alas, that's difficult to find in Hollywood these days.


I have no idea what to think of Ms. Bilson's acting because I only ever saw her on Everwood and she had a small part. She was convincing though.

[ILuvLoVe]

Yeah! Wonder Woman is just that...... a WOMAN...

I don't really watch th O.C... okay actually I don't watch it at all.... but I have seen it and I don't know. I just don't think she's a very good actress :\ . This role needs a strong female, not a little girl.

[tiger17]

Someone way earlier mentioned Monica Bellucci. Persephone from the Matrix movies among a few other things. I think she's got the perfect body type for Wonder Woman...and she's exactly that. A woman. Slightly older than the little starlets runnin' round in their size zeros.

[yellowqueen22]

I'm still rooting for Charisma Carpenter... but I'm not in charge of casting.

[Pal-El]

Oooh I could go for that!

[DorothyFan1]

I didn't know where to post this one...so mods...forgive me.

In any case, I think this place is generic enough for us to consider this intriguing possibility. Could any of the Smallville actresses currently be under the microscope for getting the coveted Wonder Woman role?

I would have to say Erica Durance immediately comes to mind for this role because she "looks" like Wonder Woman right off the bat.

Any takers on this one?



(Mod note: I'm going to merge this thread with the main Wonder-women thread, due to this thread being closely related.)

While she may not be my favorite actress, since I happen to think that they only brought her on Smallville to function as eye candy, of the three actresses she is the most suited for the role, although not the best choice in general! Charisma Carpenter, Angelina Jolie etc, would make a lot better choices for that role!

[F-Stop Blues]

I think it will be a total unknown. For Superman and Wonderwoman much more than batman for it to be believable you need an unknown imo.

[Superboy2]

I agree w/ Charisma Carpenter. Erica Durance, not really for Wonder Woman. How about the Angel of Vengeance from Smallville? Denise Quiones(did I spell it right?). Angelina Jolie? No, sorry. Lucy Lawless, Kate Beckingsale, Rachel McAdams, Dina Meyer, Eliza Dushku, Robin Tunney, and Selma Blair would be my choices.

[HowardFilms]

Kate Beckinsale!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!






...or Allison Mack













...or your mom...

[Wildfire]

Id wouldnt mind Bekensale she did great in underword 1 and 2 plus even though the writting was crappy she did do a good job in Van helsing. Honestly if anyone can play Diana/Wonder Woman in this day it would be her.

[jonpetersbites]

I have an unknown that I would like to see in the role: Rose Byrne. She played Briseis in the movie Troy and was in alot of scenes with Brad Pitt. You can find the pictures of her in the movie(in very Greek Amazon-like attire, no less) here at her IMDb photos page:

http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0126284/photogallery-ss-0

Oh yeah, she's a good actress too.

That's disgusting! Not to mention completely unreal, cos not one inch of those women's bodies has been given to them by mother nature but rather a very good and expensive Beverly Hills doctor! And last time I checked the Wonder Woman was supposed to be smart as well, and I doubt either one of those women shown on the pictures is!

[rebaroz]

Are you guys forgetting that this movie takes place when WW is a young girl, maybe 16 - 18 yrs old?....... so as much as we would like any of those lovely ladies out there, none of them will work.... It will have to be someone young and fresh.....although the only one young enough is michelle trachtenberg... maybe we can throw her in some spiked heels haha

Joss Whedon


Another actress considered for the lead was Kate Beckinsale

No word is on who is gonna play the part of Wonder Woman

I wish it was Kate Beckinsale, she was great in Underworld/II.

No, simply too short for the role! I mean, it sounds shalow to consider such things but the fact is Wonder Woman is an Amazon princess, Amazons were extremly tall and strong any mythology book will tell you that, so no, any actress below 5'7 should be taken out of the consideration!

[CallMeClark]

Well, I just heard recent news from tones of magazines and fans sites that Sophia Bush is in the top running for wonder woman... I think she would be perfect.

She reminds me of SMG so much.

[Chlark Kent]

I don't want to start a panic, but Joel Silver/WB may be sick of waiting for Joss. They just bought another script to get it "off the market." We'll see.

i actually heard Katherine McPhee's name mentioned. if she can act i think it wouldn't be a bad choice. imo she certainly has the right look for it, and has enough curves on her body to pull it off. not sure how tall she is though.

Gah! Is it wrong that I feel they should cast a complete nobody for this role? Well, maybe not a nobody but, someone atleast fairly newish. Like, the first Spiderman movie. I didn't know who the hell Tobey McGuire was. Seabuiscut my ass.
