Official Wonder Woman Casting Suggestions [merged-13]

[BT18]

People. When quoting posts with pictures, remove the pics from your quote, it's not necessary that we see the same picture 2 or 3 times and it clogs up a thread and also increases bandwidth use on both sides unnecessarily. In addition to longer load times for the poor souls with dial up. There are certain instances where quoting a specific pic is necessary, like in the case of identifying one pic out of many or something. But most of the time, especially when you end up up quoting a post with a bunch of pics like what happened here, it's annoying.

[Masut]

Sorry, won't do it again. If you have dial-up, haha, I laugh at you.

[Showtime]

It is kind of annoying. Just depends on whoses in the photo.

[BT18]

Sorry, won't do it again. If you have dial-up, haha, I laugh at you.

You are aware of the ability to edit posts right?

And no, I'm on broadband.

[BT18]

It is kind of annoying. Just depends on whoses in the photo.

No, I really don't see how it has anything to do with who or what is in the photo. It's unnecessary consumption of time and bandwidth for people, that a 1 second edit while you're writing the post or 2 seconds afterwards (like now for instance) would prevent.

It was a joke....

[BT18]

thanks for the edit showtime

[Showtime]

thanks for the edit showtime

Just tryin to help the cause and I do find it annoying as well.

[batdude]

I'm a little embarrassed I didn't think of Sophia Bush, but with high heels, she would be a definite candidate. She's hot and one of the better actresses on One Tree Hill. ( setting the bar low I know, but still.) plus she would fit in with Joss' age limit,

[Captain Wonder]

I think Sophia Bush would be an awesome Barbara Gordon/Batgirl, but she is totally wrong for WW.

[Showtime]

I think Sophia Bush would be an awesome Barbara Gordon/Batgirl, but she is totally wrong for WW.

You might be right about that.

[pimpernel]

He is right about it... she is a bad choice. Also her acting is pretty crappy.

[Showtime]

He is right about it... she is a bad choice. Also her acting is pretty crappy.

She isn't exactly creme of the crop acting wise. I guess shes banished with all the other Wonder Woman wannabees.

[Lobo]

I dont find Sophia all that pretty :(

well to each his own

[Milkman95]

Catherine Bell or an unknown like Sophia..........

[terry78]

Here's some more shots of the Bush.

http://web.quick.cz/tryst2002/cserka64/8.jpg

Are you telling me you don't want to see that on the big screen....

rather have her in my bed.

[Showtime]

I am not seeing her as Wonder Woman but I might want to see her in some other capacity.

[Aethea]

Nah Sophia is NO Wonder Woman. Next!

[igotatromboner]

Pretty but not intimidatiing.

[Showtime]

Pretty but not intimidatiing.

It seems as if she would have the opposite effect on some people. Some people would commit a crime just to see her naked.

[igotatromboner]

I was talking about the Bush girl. She's pretty but not intimidating like WW should be.

[Showtime]

I was talking about the Bush girl. She's pretty but not intimidating like WW should be.

I know. I am agreeing with you.

[The Kid]

we need someone who's not an anorexic model, but who's not a man like some female bodybuilders....

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm........

[Thot]

CZJ works well because she is shapely but also trim and athletic looking. Her face is perfect and stunningly beautiful. She can definitely act and has done the Zorro films so she has action film cred. Would she do it? I hope so!

[Fused]

I gotta say Kate Beckinsales interest has me piqued. I would be satisfied with her as a casting choice. She's not overexposed, not an unknown but has enough star power/ability/talent/sex appeal for the role.

[BT18]

If you can try to find for yourself the pics of Nadia Bjorlin at the Dukes of Hazzard Premier.

All I can say is DAYUM

I'd still prefer Kim Smith. But if Kim can't nail the acting, and Nadia is good at acting herself, she'd def. be the best choice along with Biel

[Fused]

both gorgeous. both would be perfect in a photo shoot. probly both awful at reciting lines, which is why I cant agree.

[Caliber]

She could do great or not, its hard to tell. But she is fricking hot.

[dpm07]

I'm not interested in Sophia Bush as Wonder Woman, either.

[BK]

Here's a concept drawing that PtByNmbrs (http://member.php?u=21595) from the fanart forum did:

http://prophouse2000.com/wwmovie.jpg

Of course with a few more classic elements to the costume, this would be perfect. The redesign of the chestplate I'm especially surprised about. We also need to find an actress who looks like that drawing, perfect balance of maturity, beauty, and age. :up:

[Aethea]

I like it, just cover the bare belly abdomen part and we are good to go!

This is a very excellent and innovative costume. You should post it again in the Wonder Woman Costume thread.

[dnno1]

Some of you have suggested that the person casted for the role of Wonder Woman be very tall (about 5'11") but have wound up settling for an actress in the 5'7"-5'8" range. I did some research and found a list of (super) models from the Ford Modeling Agency (http://www.fordmodels.com) that fit the bill as far as height and looks. Here is my list:

Daria S. (http://www.fordmodels.com/standard_card.cfm?model_id=3435&assn_id=5790&sex=&div=16&h1=&h2=&s1=&s2=&w1=&w2=&hp1=&hp2=&d1=&d2=&hair=&eyes=&client_id=&client_email=&search=Daria%20S.&office=)

You can click on the links to their pictures and their body coordinates. Feel free to post your comments on them.

[igotatromboner]

The Grasso lady is hot.

[BT18]

can you link to where you can do searches on that website?

[dnno1]

can you link to where you can do searches on that website?

Just pick the Ford Modeling Agency Link (http://www.fordmodels.com/) in my previous post (http://www.superherohype.com/forums/showpost.php?p=6338948&postcount=2893) (or in this one). At that site you can have your choice of either going through the icons of the different models that are listed by category and city or by just typing in their names in the search field at the top right of the page. I also updated my post (http://www.superherohype.com/forums/showpost.php?p=6338948&postcount=2893) to include hot links to the info of the models that I listed.

[BelieveInAngels]

i reckon Evangeline Lilly from 'Lost' would make a great Wonder Woman :up:

[BelieveInAngels]

^ Pretty, and if you've seen 'Lost' can be tough and intimidating!

[dnno1]

^ Pretty, and if you've seen 'Lost' can be tough and intimidating!

All I see is Jonh Travolta and Samuel Jackson from a scene in "Pulp" fiction. Are you submitting their names for the role? I did hear that Whedon was open to anyone right now. Even Morgan Freeman.

[BT18]

Evangeline has been suggested a million times. But she's too short and one of the worst actors I've ever seen as a lead female on a hit show. The former is a fact and the latter is obviously an opinion I know. I've paid plenty of attention to it though believe me. I'm as big a Lost fan as anyone.

Wow, that is an excellent drawing. However there is too much deviation from the classic costume. It has to remain as close to the original as possible.

heres another he did
http://prophouse2000.com/wwmvie2.jpg


And i for one think they are perfect.

By the way the model is real girl by the name of luba hegre or something like that if you google you will be amazed beautiful body. Any ways he used her body but obviously added a little muscle tone.

[RAMORE]

Wow, that is an excellent drawing. However there is too much deviation from the classic costume. It has to remain as close to the original as possible.


thats a ridiculous statement it doesn't have to be just like the book:mad: And then which book are you referring i mean she's had tons of alterations and different looks. :(

[BT18]

Does she wear pants in the current comic? Cause I think pants are to much of a deviation. And also sort of "Elektra" like, which this movie cannot be. In the case of Elektra though there would have been a bit more justification, seeing as how her classic costume was both less iconic than the WW costume and more whore-ish.

[terry78]

The greek warrior xena-ish skirt should suffice. I think that coupled with a few stars or just making it blue would make everyone happy.

[Lobo]

Here's a Taylor Cole as WW manip done by Kazuya. I think it looks good but he says it's not his best work and that he'll be doing another. Anway here it is


http://tinypic.com/9scowj.jpg

[BT18]

that isn't her body

[Polomontana]

Roselyn Sanchez from Rush Hour 2 would be the Right choice for Wonder Woman.

[Lobo]

I know that and a lot of these manip's use a different person's body

[The Question]

You're right about Conelly now. A few years ago she would have looked finr, but now she's gotten kinda skinny.

[BT18]

You're right about Conelly now. A few years ago she would have looked finr, but now she's gotten kinda skinny.

It isn't the weight or shape thats wrong it's the age.

[The Question]

How old is she?

[Lobo]

Connolly is 33/4

[The Question]

33? That's not so old. And she certainly looks a biy younger than she is.

[Drunia471]

If you can try to find for yourself the pics of Nadia Bjorlin at the Dukes of Hazzard Premier.

Here ya go:

[Drunia471]

One more, because I couldn't get both pics into one post. :(


http://img159.imageshack.us/img159/8410/1nadiadukespremiere0tu.jpg

[The Question]

.......no

[Polomontana]

Sorry, she has nothing on Roselyn Sanchez:

http://www.imdb.com/gallery/granitz/2008/Events/2008/SandraVida_Mazur_1161885_400.jpg?path=pgallery&path_key=Sanchez,%20Roselyn

[SolidRoar]

Please, only suggest naturals! :o

And try to be more inspired with your choices when you do; don't just suggest the girl/woman of your wildest dreams, OK? :rolleyes:

[The Question]

......also no. I say Jennifer Connely. "She's 33. She's too old" I hear you say. Well Christian Bale is only a year or two younger than 33, and he played year one Batman (buitifully I might add). Give her a personal trainer for a few months and a tanning bed and she'd be perfect!

[porotoparker]

What about this girl? Danneel Harris. You can see her in "Joey". I didn´t find any more or better pictures. If someone likes her as a possible choice, please look for pictures and accurate data.

http://www.600.org/tv_stars/pictures/danneel_harris.jpg http://a.abc.com/daytime/onelifetolive/images/gallery/oltl_harris_1.jpg

[The Question]

Hmm. I guess. I've just always thought that Connely looked more the part.

[BT18]

Danneel Harris def. looks too petite in those pics, porotoparker

[haephestus]

http://digilander.libero.it/giomusical/gale6.jpg

Has anyone suggested Megan Gale yet?

Probably too old, but she's a pretty perfect physical specimen.

Cheers.

[ColbyCo]

After months and months of watching this debate closely, I've decided to throw in my 2 cents. First, Jennifer Connelly would be great for Wonder Woman.......if it were Jennifer Connelly from Career Opportunities and The Rocketeer in 1991. The pictures that I've seen people post of Jennifer are professionals that have been airbrushed. Nowadays, Jennifer is way too thin in the face and starting to age. She doesn't look bad, but she's too...."mature" for what the producers are looking for.
Second, I feel that they should go for an actress who naturally has BLUE EYES (or aqua or blue-grey). Many suggestions on here are of Actresses/Models with dark hair and brown eyes. Wonder Woman is supposed to be striking and one of the things that make her (as well TV's Lynda Carter) so alluring was that she had dark hair on top of piercing blue eyes. It's the one thing that drew me to Nadia Bjorlin's as well as Angelina Jolie's faces (Although I feel both have the face of what I feel Wonder Woman should like, Jolie especially, I wouldn't go with either) and if you want the movie to be as faithful to the character as possible, her eyes to be blue or close to it. Contacts, you say? They tried this with Jessica Alba in Fantastic 4 and it looked fake. Not everyone with brown eyes can pull off blue lenses. I wouldn't be entirely offended it they went with an actress who's naturally blonde haired/blue eyed but could pull off dark brown hair really well (Rachel McAdams comes to mind). Diana/Wonder Woman should be as authentic as possible.
Finally, I think they should go with an unknown actress who can define the role and make it her own. She should also be no taller than 5'10" and no shorter than 5'8". I think 5'9" would be the ideal height (taller than the average woman, but not to the point where she looks awkward) and her body should be toned but not overtly muscled (Angela Bassett in What's Love Got To Do With It? or Hillary Swank in Million Dollar Baby comes to mind when I think of toned). It's a look that can be acheived in a relatively short amount of time.
Just my 2 cents:up:

Just my 2 cents:up:I can buy inot that and agree totally. Plus your right Jeniffer Connelly would have been Perfect for WW in 91-92. But I disagree as to whether she could pull it off now. I'm kind of conflicted in that area.

[JBElliott]

Angie Harmon is perfect for the role of WW.

http://www.posters.ws/images/841850/angie_harmon.jpg

[Timstuff]

I posted this in another thread, but I'll re-post it here.

This is wonder WOMAN, not Wonder Girl. But then again it's not Wonder Mom either, so I'd have to say no to Jennifer Connely and Monica Belucci (even though they are still kinda hawt).

Wonder Woman needs to be in her early to mid 20s, but most importantly, she cannot have that "teenage girl" look that so many of today's young actresses are sought out for. We need someone who looks like a woman, but is still young and has potential for the future. I'm speaking hypothetically, but suppose the movie is such a sucsess that Warners orders two sequels? If the starlette is already in her late 30's/early 40s, by the time we get to film #3 she'll look like a soccer mom.

I think that whoever plays WW is going to be someone who's not exactly on the chart as of yet, but is going to gather alot of attention once she's cast. For all we know the actress may not even have much acting experience, and might be a slashie (that's model/actress) with lots of untapped talent. Or, it could be someone who's really good with the indie-film scene and hasn't gotten any attention from the mainstream. Point is, I don't think it's going to be someone well known, because there aren't really any well known actresses that I'd say are "perfect" for the role. Wonder Woman is one of the more tricky female roles to cast in many ways, but I'm interested to see who ends up getting the part.

I second that! I've been seconding that;) Not Wonder Girl, not Wonder Teen, not Wonder Mom, but Wonder WOMAN.

[ShadowBoxing]

I kinda like this Morena Baccarin chick. She has a few pictures on the net where she is wearing make-up and has her hair done and actually looks very pretty on screen. She could pull it off

[ShadowBoxing]

She is not perfect but with the right hair and make up staff I think she would look good and convincing as WW

No keep in mind we would be talking some major work here in terms of all the working out she would have to do and all the make-up and hair involved but she could do it.
Notable TV Guest Appearances

Plus she has experience with Super-hot-heros you might say

"Justice League" (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0275137/) playing "Black Canary" (voice) in episode: "Double Date" (episode # 4.6) 4 June 2005
"Justice League" (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0275137/) playing "Black Canary" (voice) in episode: "The Cat and the Canary" (episode # 4.1) 5 February 2005

[The Question]

I supose. But she looks a little.....young. Even year one Wonder Woman has to have a certain ancient grace and presence.

[Lobo]

She's 26

Good job with the pics. I've been trying to find some good ones, and it's been hard. I want to see some full body shots with good pictures of her legs to get an idea what she might look like in costume.

Morena would definitely have to hit the gym a bit to condition herself for the role. I agree. I believe she has a dance background of sorts, so that could help her if she is considered for the part.

[ShadowBoxing]

I supose. But she looks a little.....young. Even year one Wonder Woman has to have a certain ancient grace and presence.
hair and make-up can take care of that....they made Jennifer Connelly look 75 in a beautiful Mind at the end they can make her look 26-28

[The Question]

True. But I'm just sking about her presence on screen. Wonder Woman must have a graceful, calming, aw inspireing presence. Can she pull that off?

[dpm07]

If you listen to Morena in interviews or if you watch Firefly, you'll see that she carries herself with a poise and intelligence in her speaking that really belies her age. I don't think it's just the Inara character from Firefly either. I've seen interviews where she really seems well-poised and intelligent, and that could be to make her appear older than she is...intentionally.

[The Question]

Alright then.

[sfer1]

Jennifer Connelly should play WW. Morena Baccarin isn't in the league as her.

Reasons why Joel Silver should cast Jennifer over Morena:

a) Jennifer is one of the most beautiful actresses ever.
Harpers & Queen magazine asked 1,000 experts from the worlds of fashion, arts and the media to compile a list of the top 25 most beautiful women. Jennifer is on the list.
She has a perfect, ageless face. Morena has chubby cheeks.
b) Jennifer looks the part so much that Adam Hughes' interpretation of the character is based on her.
c) Jennifer has a way better body than Morena.
http://img225.echo.cx/img225/7601/jenniferconnellyprof4fc.jpg (http://img225.echo.cx/img225/7601/jenniferconnellyprof4fc.jpg)
d) Jennifer is the favorite among WW fans to play the role.
e) Jennifer is a great, Oscar winning actress. All Morena's ever done is play the same secondary character (with not much screen time) first in Firefly (that lasted 14 episodes on the air) and now in Serenity.
f) Wonder Woman already has a relatively unknown (and not highly appreciated by many people) director. Jennifer would lend credibility to the movie.

a) Jennifer is one of the most beautiful actresses ever.
Harpers & Queen magazine asked 1,000 experts from the worlds of fashion, arts and the media to compile a list of the top 25 most beautiful women. Jennifer is on the list.
She has a perfect, ageless face. Morena has chubby cheeks.
b) Jennifer looks the part so much that Adam Hughes' interpretation of the character is based on her.
c) Jennifer has a way better body than Morena.

d) Jennifer is the favorite among WW fans to play the role.
e) Jennifer is a great, Oscar winning actress. All Morena's ever done is play the same secondary character (with not much screen time) first in Firefly (that lasted 14 episodes on the air) and now in Serenity.
f) Wonder Woman already has a relatively unknown (and not highly appreciated by many people) director. Jennifer would lend credibility to the movie.

Hey I loved Jennifer. My entire Laptop My Pictures folder contains over 100 pictures of her. More than any other actress by far. All my girlfriends even said I could cheat on them if it was Jennifer Connelly. I love Jennifer Connelly, hands down most beautiful actress.

However she is too old to play Wonder Woman at this point. We need someone in there early to mid twenties to insure three films...sorry Jen Con fans buts thats just the way it is.

[sfer1]

Jennifer is 34 now. If they did three movies in six years (ala Spider-Man), she would be 40 in the third film. And considering that she looks several years younger than her age and that she hasn't aged significantly in the last decade, I don't see a problem.

Famke Janssen started playing Jean Grey when she was 35 years old. They're filming X-Men 3 and she's 40. Does she look too old to play the role? Nope, she looks great.

Jennifer doesn't look much, if any, older than Lynda when she played the role.

[The Question]

:up: :up: :up: :up:

[dpm07]

I think Connelly is older than what Whedon is looking for. Does this mean that I would scream in horror if she got the part? Absolutely not. However is has been mentioned that Whedon is looking for an unknown or relatively unknown actress for the part. Jennifer Connelly does not fall into that category.

Trust me, I love her work. She's a great actress. Wasn't crazy about Dark Water, but that's another story.

You should be commended for putting forth the work you did to outline your issues and points. That said, it was likely done in vain. No one is saying Connelly couldn't or wouldn't make a great WW. However, it is the director's approach to cast someone in their early to mid-20's for the role. Jennifer Connelly is sadly not in that category, and nothing can change that. Hey, I'm over 30, but still get carded going to the dance clubs, and pubs. However, the fact is, no matter how attractive (or unattractive) I may look, I'm still over 30.

[The Question]

Yes, but that's why it's called acting! The actor's job is to convince the audiance that they are something they are not. Tell me, Christain Bale is what, 31? 32? He not only played year one Batman, but he also played an 18-20 year old Bruce Wayne in a flashback and looked like he was 18-20 years old. Connelly already looks five or six years younger than she is. And she is a good actress.

[sfer1]

WW isn't supposed to look early twenties.

When Joss Whedon signed on, he said that he was a "Marvel Boy" and admitted that he had never read Wonder Woman. And he made that comment about wanting an actress in her early twenties shortly after. Considering he was busy with Serenity, I'm pretty sure that he didn't have the time to read the comic book and that he had no idea how old the character is supposed to look when he made that comment.

And after reading the interview from In Focus, what worries me is that he still doesn't seem to know anything about Wonder Woman.

Don't get me wrong. I'm a big fan of Joss. I used to be a moderator in the largest BtVS forum in Latin America, but I don't think he's put an effort on this project so far. As Steelsheen said: "It sounds like he still hasn't done much about it. That thing he says that he's working on some aspects of it is BS. He sounds just like every college student who's 3 months away to graduation and hasn't done a thing about his thesis."

Until he does some research and starts writing the script for real, I won't take anything he says as definitive.

[The Question]

Yes. Exactly. Wait until the script is finished to worry about his casting disicions.

[Timstuff]

Not every actress in their early 20's looks like a little girl or a teenager, you know... Just the ones that we always see. The world is currently obsessed with immature looking actresses, which is why I'm glad Whedon is looking outside of the mainstream.

[ShadowBoxing]

Its too bad all the GOOD pictures of Jennifer Connelly on the net would get me banned

[The Question]

No. Just most of them. And that is in no way bad. ;)

[dpm07]

I think Whedon knows what he's doing. He's always had a habit of playing with the media, and I think he's doing this right now with regard to WW. One thing about Whedon is that he is very structured, organized and meticulous with regard to his approach on things. Sure he flies by the seat of his pants on some issues, but overall he does have a structured way with his approach.

I think he's throwing a few curves at the public to turn everything topsy turvy. I really believe he's doing research behind the scenes in a way that most people don't realize.

Whedon doesn't want to screw this up. This will be his biggest film to date. As far as a 30-something actress. Sorry. I don't see it happening. Maybe I'll be proved wrong, but I doubt it.

If it were another director, I might have less confidence, but because it's Whedon who does have a connection to empowerment of females, I have to believe that he will do the right thing.

I think we're going to be looking at a mid-20's actress for the part. Whedon's even commented on this himself. I don't see him deviating from that. He is going to have to cater to a mass demographic which will be going to see the film, and Whedon works most effectively with females in the 20's range.

Just relax. Wait till a script comes out and you'll see. Everything will be good.

[Hades]

I say just find an unknown. There's lots of tall pretty women out there..in fact i know a couple. I mean...there has to be some of them out there that can act right?

[sfer1]

I don't think it's a good idea to cast an unknown, unexperienced actress.

Don't bring up Christopher Reeve, Lynda Carter and Hugh Jackman.
- Reeve was one in a million. And they took a chance with him, because times were different. Back then, most famous actors would have declined such a role, afraid of looking stupid in tights. Now, they're willing to play comic book based characters. Besides, Reeve had a theater background.
- Carter was very beautiful, but she wasn't a very good actress and the TV show was campy. The movie needs to be a lot better than the series to do well. And Silver and Whedon need to cast a better actress.
- 'X-Men' had a large cast. Jackman was fine as ONE of the MANY characters in the movie, but 'X-Men' didn't depend on his performance. None of the movies he starred ('Swordfish', 'Kate & Leopold' and 'Van Helsing') was very good. He's not such an amazing find.

Unknowns who played lead roles and did well are exceptions. One can name maybe 10 in the last 50 years of film history. The fact that casting an unknown worked a few times in the past doesn't make it a good idea to give a demanding lead role to an unexperienced actress and hope that she can act.

Besides, Wonder Woman isn't as popular as Superman, Batman, Spider-Man or X-Men. There's a reason several animated series of Superman, Batman, Spider-Man and X-Men have been made in the last decade, but none of Wonder Woman.

And there're many people who think like this guy:
locutus374: "Am I the only one scared that his only major movie credit is Alien 4 and besides that his writing credits are Buffy and Angel? I dunno it just gives me the willys about this guy."

This movie already has a relatively unknown director. Some of us know Whedon because we watched his TV shows (I personally loved 'BtVS' and 'Firefly'), but a lot of people didn't. Even worse, many of the people who didn't watch 'BtVS', judged the show by its title and assumed it was dumb. So "from the creator of 'Buffy'" doesn't have a good connotation for them. There're also those who blame Joss for 'Alien: Resurrection' not being as good as the first three. If a great, famous and artistically integral actress like Jennifer Connelly played Wonder Woman, it might help validate the film in the mind of these people. She would lend credibility to the movie.

A relatively unknown (and not highly appreciated by some people) director + an unknown lead actress + Wonder Woman = a movie that might look small

Even if they found a fantastic unknown actress, who can do the job like the more experienced ones, I think the movie would have an unknown too many.


Don't bring up Halle Berry either. 'Catwoman' didn't suck because they cast a famous actress, but because they cast the wrong one. The bad script had also a lot to do with it.

And don't tell me people would associate Jennifer with her previous roles. She "is" Wonder Woman. She looks the part so much that Adam Hughes' interpretation of the character is based on her.

kimberleekay2002: "When I heard of the Wonder Woman character coming to life again I immediately thought of JENNIFER CONNELLY."

So did all my friends and I.

[sfer1]

Two more things:

About having big supporting stars. Some people bring up Batman (1989). I don't think the movies are comparable.
It was Batman. He had a new cool black suit. Tim Burton made Gotham City look great. And it was the first big film about a comic book superhero in many years. Of course the movie was a smash.
Wonder Woman isn't Batman and Joss Whedon isn't Tim Burton. A villain played by a famous actor wouldn't make a movie about WW, directed by relatively unknown director, look big. People would wonder what's "Jack Nicholson" doing in it.
This film needs big supporting stars AND a great, prestigious lead actress. Otherwise, many people might presume it's a small and/or dumb movie.

About Whedon being good at casting nonames. That's only partially true. In his TV shows, he cast unknowns in the secondary roles, not in the leads. SMG, who played Buffy, had been working since she was a kid. Nathan Fillion wasn't an unknown either.

[The Question]

In other words....




CONNELLY DAMMIT!!!!!

[BT18]

Wonder Woman isn't Batman and Joss Whedon isn't Tim Burton. A villain played by a famous actor wouldn't make a movie about WW, directed by relatively unknown director, look big. People would wonder what's "Jack Nicholson" doing in it.


Joss Whedon is not Tim Burton, Tim Burton is not Joss Whedon. Who is better is completely subjective. Tim Burton has never done anything I thought was particularly good. He's done alot of stuff I loathed. Joss Whedon in my opinion gave the world 2 out of the 10 best tv shows of all time. You may have the opposite opinion, doesn't mean it's any more virtuous.

This film needs big supporting stars AND a great, prestigious lead actress. Otherwise, many people might presume it's a small and/or dumb movie.

About Whedon being good at casting nonames. That's only partially true. In his TV shows, he cast unknowns in the secondary roles, not in the leads. SMG, who played Buffy, had been working since she was a kid. Nathan Fillion wasn't an unknown either.

The notion of "prestige" as it's used most of the time, is intangable, artificial bull*****, and simply a way of inflating ones own taste above others, baselessly. You using this DEVICE to argue your preference of what this movie "needs" is completley transparent.

And what qualifies as a "noname" or an "unknown" is a completely inarguable relative. To state flat out that you can't call a kid actress who did a soap and some commercials or an actor who I, a complete lifelong movie/tv geek/addict, still has no clue about what else they've done besides Firefly/Serenity/Buffy/Angel an unknown is simply ridiculous.

[sfer1]

First of all, I loved 'BtVS' and 'Firefly' (I used to be a moderator in the largest BtVS forum in Latin America), but creating a TV show and directing a movie aren't the same thing, so don't mix apples and oranges.

Besides, even though Tim Burton is most likely a better director than Whedon, I didn't say Burton was better in general than Whedon. What I meant is that Whedon doesn't have Burton's reputation. Whedon hasn't written/directed any successful movie. Before 'Batman', Burton had directed 'Beetle Juice' (1988) that grossed about 80 millions in the US alone.

If you didn't see Sarah Michelle Gellar in 'All My Children' (1993-1995) and Nathan Fillion in 'Two Guys, a Girl and a Pizza Place' (1998-2001), you "need" to watch more TV. He was also in 'Saving Private Ryan', directed by Steven Spielberg.

[BT18]

Um, I do not need to watch more tv if I didn't watch some lame soap operah in the mid-90's or some lame sitcom in the late 90's. I know the qualifier of "lame" in these cases is redundant and unnecessary because soap operahs as a rule are lame and awful as are all sitcoms (with the only possibly exceptions being All in the Family and Seinfeld).

[Masut]

Who are all these people voting for Jennifer Connelly? No way, unless she plucks those eyebrows or something...

[sfer1]

Harpers & Queen magazine asked 1,000 experts from the worlds of fashion, arts and the media to compile a list of the top 25 most beautiful women. Jennifer is on the list.

They seem to think her eyebrows look fine.

[Lobo]

Who cares what "experts" say I find Morena Baccarin far more attractive then Connolly. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and no magazine is going to tell me who I should find more attarctive. If he finds Connolly's eyebrows unattractive that's his right. Not everyone thinks Connolly is the beautiful woman alive. Deal with it sfer.

[dpm07]

SFer, is everything ok? You seem to have an adverse reaction to people who do not share your exclusive view, and you seem to want to impose your views on others as the absolute truth.

I think it's important to stop and consider that everyone does not share your sense of absolutism or view your points as the be all to end all. Now, I've seen you do this on both this board, and The Planet.

No one is saying Jennifer Connelly isn't attractive. Many actresses are attractive. Like Lobo said, "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder." While beauty will no doubt be a prime factor in choosing who Wonder Woman is, it will not be the only factor. Many things have to be considered. One thing is the complement between Director and star. Some people gel, and others don't. Another thing is availability; A director or studio might want a certain star, and that person may be unavailable. Your dedication to Jennifer Connelly is admirable, and she is a beautiful lady. However, please don't let your fetish for her lead you to a point of fanaticism.

Relax. Everything's going to be ok.:)

[Apocalypse Dude]

I definitely agree with Liv Tyler as the physical embodiment of WW but whether she can harness the soul of the character is to be seen.

My other thought was Mia Kirschner from 'Not Another Teen Movie' and 'the L word'. Whoever it is, blue eyes and black hair is an absolute must.

[BT18]

welcome to SHH Apocalypse Dude

and I think Liv's voice is too baby-ish for the character of WW

[Mr Sensitive]

Who are all these people voting for Jennifer Connelly? No way, unless she plucks those eyebrows or something...

Baloney.

The poll only confirms the obvious:

Connelly is perfect.

[Timstuff]

She'd be perfect 10 years ago, but not today. Why is this so hard to wrap your heads around? :confused:

[The Question]

But she doesn't look much older than she did ten years ago. Plus, a good actor (which is what she is) can convince the audience they are something they are not. Bale played a very convinceing late teens early twenties Bruce Wayne in Begins.

[BT18]

No, he didn't. I just assumed he was the age he looked, 30-ish. How was I supposed to know he was "late teens/early 20's?" I must have missed how I was supposed to know that.

And Jennifer Connelly does look older than she looked 10 years ago to most people. How she looks to you is not something I can argue because I'm not psychic or whatever but most people see her as the mom in her 30's she is.

[Mr Sensitive]

Plus, we are talking about Wonder Woman (not Wonder Girl nor Wonder Baby) aren't we?

A thoroughly beautiful and talented young woman in her mid 30s is to be considered already old?

They will be casting foetuses in a near future, I see.

[ColbyCo]

Whoever it is, blue eyes and black hair is an absolute must.

Agreed! And for all you Jennifer Connelly fanatics out there, I did some research and found that she's only about 5'6" (according to http://www.celebheights.com). According to the website she "Actually looks bigger than she is, which is why she gets listed as being 5ft 8. She doesn't look it, I thought she looks just under 5ft 7, a strong 169cm.", so she's definately out of the running as far as I'm concerned. 5'9" is the perfect height for a movie version of Wonder Woman.

[sfer1]

Everyone says beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but there're standards of beauty accepted by society.

There aren't many beholders who would find a fat, short and toothless woman attractive, are there?

A perfect oval face like Jennifer's is most likely closer to the ideal of perfection than one with chubby cheeks like Morena's.

Who cares what experts say? Considering that's kinda what they do for a living, it's safe to assume they can interpret what most people find attractive. If they can't, they have the people who pay them fooled.

As dpm07 said, there're many attractive actresses (or celebrities in general). These 1,000 experts from the worlds of fashion, arts and the media had a lot of women to choose from. To be chosen as one of the top 25 most beautiful women, a woman has to be stunningly beautiful. I don't think any of the 25 needs to have anything plucked or done.

I know everything's going to be OK. ;)

I think by a very wide margin a greater number of people would find Jennifer Conelly to be more attractive and/or hot than Morena Baccarin.

I don't think either of them are going to be considered for the role however.

[Lobo]

You're right BT18 most probably would find Jennifer more attractive but it's just that there's something about Morena that really appeals to me. As for "experts" on what's attractive I don't care what they say we should like I'll use my own eyes to judge. I've got a good friend who is more attracted to chubby girls than thin ones so you see there are people who like that and by society's standards Kate Winslet is fat so meh. As for toothless women there's about a million jokes that could follow and I'll let someone else do it. Now I think Jennifer is beautiful and could make an excellent WW, however I just don't see her doing the role or being offered it. You have the right to your opinion sfer but if someone disagrees that doesn't make them wrong.

[Aethea]

What's with this Jennifer Connelly thing? I mean she is beautiful, but when people go to the movies they will not be seeing Wonder Woman--instead they will be seeing Jennifer Connelly dressed as Wonder Woman. I think for people to really get into the character and appreciate the mythos behind Wonder Woman, we need an unknown and Morena is pretty much an unknown, just like Christian Bale is to Batman.

[Timstuff]

Jennifer Connely is good looking, and a talented actress. But she does not look like an amazon. She looks like Jennifer Connely. And as much as Connely fans want to fight it, Wonder Woman is most likely going to be played by a woman in her mid 20's. Call it unfair, discriminatory, close minded, or whatever, but that's the facts. Christian Bale was just barely able to convince the audience that he was playing a college aged guy in those few flash backs in Batman Begins, but if he had to go the entire movie trying to convince us he was a day younger than 28, no-one would buy it.

Jennifer Conelly looks good at her age, but she's not getting any younger, and you have to think about the possibilities of sequels. Would people be excited to see an actress who's pushing 40? This is Wonder Woman we're talking about, not "Soccer Mom". They need an actress in her mid 20's who's tall, beautiful, and has a mature womanly look. Despite the fact that many of today's young actresses are sought out because they look like teenagers, there are plenty of little-known actresses in their 20's that have mature womanly looks to them. It's up to Whedon and crew to pick the right one.

I don't think there's anything I could add to what you three just said. Excellent posts, and well presented.:up: :up: :up:

[Dark Knight]

thats why you get actress' that look there age for certain scenes within the narrative in flashbacks for what not. I would love to see Connelly in the role. She doesn't look old by any means. It just depends on the story what she will be like in the screenplay. I keep on thinking Jessica Biel may be considered.....she is filling out nicely, she is athletic and she do fight scenes. Can her acting improve a bit? She needs to bring more emotion and intensity. :up:

[Dark Knight]

No, he didn't. I just assumed he was the age he looked, 30-ish. How was I supposed to know he was "late teens/early 20's?" I must have missed how I was supposed to know that.

whos most people?? Connelly still looks 29.

[Masut]

There are many more candidates for WW that would be better than Jennifer Conelly.

[Dark Knight]

Connelly did a good job in Dark Water. Connelly would rule as WW! All she would have to do is tone up and get into Linda Hamilton shape from T2. She would gorgeous and great in the role. She is a WOMAN! Not some low to mid-20's little girl......I want Wonder Woman....not Wonder Girl....

[Dark Knight]

There are many more candidates for WW that would be better than Jennifer Conelly.


Find them.....and have them audition against Connelly.....hmm....i wonder who would win?? :spidey:

Let's see. Gorgeous Oscar award winning actress. Unknown pretty girls who lookk 16. Gorgeous Oscar award winning actress. Unknown pretty girls who look 16. Damn. Tough call. :D

[SolidRoar]

Why can't the Connelly supporters understand that casting her as Wonder Woman is nothing more than a pipedream?

[The Question]

Because it's a good idea.

[sfer1]

Just one thing, Christian Bale (Empire of the Sun, Little Women, American Psycho and Reign of Fire) was NOT an unknown before playing Batman.

http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000288/

[The Question]

True. But I think people meant that he wasn't very well known amungst the general public.

[Timstuff]

I'm sick of hearing "This is Wonder Woman, not Wonder Girl!" from Connely advocates. You don't have to be in your mid 30's to look like a woman. It's just that many of today's popular actresses are sought out specifically because they look younger than they are, because half of today's movies are about teens and college age kids. That doesn't mean that there aren't mature looking actresses in their mid 20's that look their age though. That's why Whedon is probably going with a lesser-known actress for the role.

No. She looks nothing like WW. Haveing a big rack does not mean you're suited for the part of WW.

[Antonello Blueberry]

She's a perfect Wonder Woman for the Baywatch fans

[sfer1]

Do you want to rephrase every time the same woman who can't act gets suggested?

My opinions aren't unsubstantiated. I watch a lot TV (more than you, that had never seen SMG before BtVS and Nathan Fillion before Firefly) and I've seen most of these girls/women, who get suggested for the role solely on how they look, work.

[Kane]

No. She looks nothing like WW. Haveing a big rack does not mean you're suited for the part of WW.

Did I even mention her rack? No. Look at her face, it looks so much like the JL Animated version and the Sup/Bat artist renditions. Shes got all the classic features, big blue eyes, wild and alluring amazonian look, thicker body frame...etc

With the exception of Lynda Carter (when she was young) name another actress who looks the part better than Nadia does..

When they dye her hair Black for the role, shell look like a perfect clone of her.

[The Question]

She looks nothing like Wonder Woman. She kinda looks like JLU wondy, but that's it. Her eyes are way to squinty. She doesn't have that regal beauty that Wonder Woman has. She looks like a bloody porn star.

[Kane]

She looks nothing like Wonder Woman. She kinda looks like JLU wondy, but that's it. Her eyes are way to squinty. She doesn't have that regal beauty that Wonder Woman has. She looks like a bloody porn star.

Eyes squinty? Look at her other IMDB pics, maybe I didnt choose the best ones. She has nice big beautiful eyes. And you may think she looks like a pornstar in those clothes, but once you see her in the wonder woman costume and makeup, shell have that 'regal amazonian beauty.' Shes the perfect frame to work with. Again, who else looks better for the part than her?

Edit: her eyes are sooo not squinty. http://www.imdb.com/gallery/hh/0004294/HH/0004294/glamourshot.jpg?path=pgallery&path_key=Bjorlin,%20Nadia

Theyre pretty nice.

[The Question]

To answer your question, Connelly does look better for the part. I'm not saying she'll get it (even though she should), but she does look better.

[Kane]

To answer your question, Connelly does look better for the part. I'm not saying she'll get it (even though she should), but she does look better.

Connelly would be nearly 40 by the time the movie comes out! She may have looked the part in her youth but not now. It would be beyond weird, having Christian Bale and Routh for Sup/Bats and then an older WW.

Plus, she doesnt even have the right body for it, it doesnt look exquisite or Amazonian at all. Shes skinny and doesnt look too athletic either.

Not the best choice..

[The Question]

But your choice bears no resemblance to Wonder Woman. How does she look like Wonder Woman to you? And by the way, Connelly is 34. So unless the movie comes out in six years she'd be fine. And thats only two years older than Bale.

[Kane]

But your choice bears no resemblance to Wonder Woman. How does she look like Wonder Woman to you?

I already explained how. Her face is perfect; big beautiful blue eyes, young looking, alluring and exquisite looks (perfect for an amazon)..wild untamed beauty. Her body is also a thicker frame like WW's Amazonian build and shes young and athletic, in good shape (something the role of WW would need) because of her modelling. Shed look great in the costume... I cant say the same for Connelly.

Jennifer's birthday is on December 12. And they film the movies BEFORE the movies open in theaters. If they filmed the movie next year, she'd be 35 in it, not nearly 40.

It doesn't really matter if Jennifer (or any other actress) is too skinny at the moment. The actress who gets the role is going to have to hit the gym, ala Hillary Swank, who gained 19 pounds of muscle for her role in Million Dollar Baby.

I mostly agree although I don't think Connelly being "skinny" is the apt identification of why she she either would be wrong or more importantly why she isn't going to be considered.

It's not like the character isn't pretty consistantly, atleast for the last 35-40 years, been portrayed pretty model-like/idealized/15 % body fat looking with extra curves only in the right places.

Connelly is neither that skinny nor remotely overweight, but she doesn't really appear to have a ton of tone and more importantly people just see her, from watching her consecutively for a number of years, as an attractive 30's mom type /professional. Joss made it clear he wants someone franchise-able just recently. He did nothing to go back on his earlier statement that early 20's is the range he's gonna look at. And no ammount of claimed opinions stated as unprovable facts that she doesn't or never "looked" that age is going to change that.

That's all true. But she doesn't look like Wonder Woman. Her eyes stretch out to the side. She looks too baby faced. Now I haven't seen her act, which is a major part of deciding. Now tell me, can she act? Well?

[Kane]

She doesnt look as young and vibrant anymore...she certainly doesnt look like Wonder Woman at all, whos young and ageless. They usually cast superheros pretty young and she wouldnt match up well next to Routh and Bale. The movie has to draw in young girls (through being able to relate to WW) and guys (through the hotness of the actress).. Theres no way Connelly could do that better than Nadia could.

I feel she's the best choice. She's a damn good actress. She doesn't look old and doesn't look too young either. This is all IMO, but many people seem to feel the same way. Can we at least keep her as an option?

[Kane]

That's all true. But she doesn't look like Wonder Woman. Her eyes stretch out to the side. She looks too baby faced. Now I haven't seen her act, which is a major part of deciding. Now tell me, can she act? Well?

She can act decently from what I'm told. I dont watch Soaps... thats just too much torture. Routh was a pretty medocre actor prior to Returns too but I heard theyre working on his acting chops to make him believeable in the role.

And Lynda Carter had a baby face too, but she was still perfect as WW.

First of all, she's only two years older than Bale. And how rae they supposed to relate to Wonder Woman. It's not a bloody teen movie. A Wonder Woman movie must be epic!!!! Not trying to draw in target demographics. And Connelly could do beter than Nadia because she's a damn good actress. And IO still don't see how Nadia looks like Wonder Woman. She looks atractive, yes. She looks like she's in good shape. But she doesn't look like Wonder Woman. To me at least.

Lynda Carter had a baby face? I guess. But she still looked regal and wise. I just don't see it in Nadia.

[BT18]

Right it's your claimed opinion how old she looks and "old" is a relative word.

I personally think she looks her age. Yes she looks BETTER than most people her age, but that's a seperate issue. Most people don't take care of themselves as well as she and most top actresses do and most people aren't born as attractive as her.

I'm not not keeping her as an option. Whedon's not.

[BT18]

Lynda Carter had a baby face? I guess. But she still looked regal and wise. I just don't see it in Nadia.

Come on. It's impossible to discuss or argue in a non frustrating manner when people resort to completely intangable abstractions like the claim of who does or doesn't look "regal" and "wise".

[The Question]

Well I am. I still think she'd be perfect. But hey, to each his own.

[Kane]

She looks atractive, yes. She looks like she's in good shape. But she doesn't look like Wonder Woman. To me at least.

Actually shes 4 years older than Bale. I agree its not a teen movie and needs to be epic but Nadia would still be awesome for it. And doesnt look like WW to you? What do you perceive WW looking as. I'm looking at the Jeph Loeb/Micheal Turner Coverart for Superman/Batman Issue 10 right now, and the modern younger sexier WW on the cover looks exactly like Nadia.

[The Question]

Come on. It's impossible to discuss or argue in a non frustrating manner when people resort to completely intangable abstractions like the claim of who does or doesn't look "regal" and "wise".


What are you, the argument police? I was stateing my opinion. Wonder Woman should have something to her that I don't really see in Nadia.

[sfer1]

If they're going to decide who gets to play WW based on Brandon Routh, we're doomed.

He's an awful choice for the role of Superman. He hardly looks old enough to have a drink in a bar (he hardly looks 21). Tom Welling, who plays high school Clark Kent in Smallville, is older than him. Besides, all Routh has ever done was being fired from a soap.

If I'm not mistaken, Superman Returns is a sequel to Superman 2. Superman 2 takes place when Clark Kent/Superman is 31-35. So 21 year old looking Brandon Routh is playing the part of a 32-36 year old. It doesn't make sense.

[Kane]

If we're going to decide who gets to play WW based on Bradon Routh, we're doomed.

He's an awful choice for the role of Supreman. He hardly looks old enough to have a drink in a bar (he hardly looks 21). Tom Welling, who plays high school Clark Kent in Smallville, is older than him. Besides, all Routh has ever done was being fired from a soap.

If I'm not mistaken, Superman Returns is a sequel to Superman 2. Superman 2 takes place when Clark Kent/Superman is 31-35. So 21 year old looking Brandon Routh is playing the part of a 32-36 year old. It doesn't make sense.

Agreed that Routh Sucks. If you look in my Casting the Justice League Movie thread, Donald Standen is a much better choice.

I guess Nadia could work, but she's not quite perfect in my mind. And everything Turner draws looks "younger" and "sexyer". And I thoight Bale was 32.

[BT18]

What are you, the argument police? I was stateing my opinion. Wonder Woman should have something to her that I don't really see in Nadia.

You stated

But she still looked regal and wise

that comes off, I think most people would agree, alot more like a blanket statement than your opinion. I'm just trying to keep things honest and trying to reduce the amount of vagueness and feeling being "debated" substituting for specificity and logical external if not facts atleast aproximations.

[Antonello Blueberry]

Agreed that Routh Sucks. If you look in my Casting the Justice League Movie thread, Donald Standen is a much better choice.
Yes, right. Academy award winner Donald Standen who's biggest role is the henchman of the Red Skull in the 1991 Captain America movie.

[BK]

Agreed that Routh Sucks. If you look in my Casting the Justice League Movie thread, Donald Standen is a much better choice.
You think that an unknown like him would suck, despite not seeing one film footage of him and being cast by a director with a superb casting eye in his movies. Yet you expect us to believe Nadia, who has done nothing significant in movies, would be a perfect WW?

Now I'd be lying to myself if I didn't think you just like her for her appearance.

[Kane]

Yes, right. Academy award winner Donald Standen who's biggest role is the henchman of the Red Skull in the 1991 Captain America movie.

Well casting an unknown is still casting an unknown... and they were insistant thats what they wanted to do with Superman.

He just looks the part way better than Routh whos had equally as little experience.

[Kane]

And I thoight Bale was 32.

The IMDB has him listed as born in 74, Jennifer born in 70. I dont know if IMDB is correct, someone could check that out.

[The Question]

IMBD is almost never correct when it comes to that stuff.

[Kane]

Well in this case they are, I checked it out on their respective fan sites and yahoo actor profiles.

[sfer1]

Christian Bale was born on January 30, 1974 and Jennifer Connelly, on December 12, 1970. She's 3 years older than him.

[Timstuff]

Christian Bale was around 28 when they started filming Begins, correct?

[BK]

29.

[BT18]

Christian Bale was around 28 when they started filming Begins, correct?

no, he would have been 30.

born

30 January 1974

Filming Dates
2 March 2004 - 17 September 2004

[Timstuff]

Well still, Jennifer Connelly will probably be about 36 or even older by the time WW starts filming, and she'll probably be past 40 by the time a sequel comes out.

[Kane]

Maybe then she could play Diana's mom

[Dark Knight]

Let's see. Gorgeous Oscar award winning actress. Unknown pretty girls who lookk 16. Gorgeous Oscar award winning actress. Unknown pretty girls who look 16. Damn. Tough call. :D


my point exactly..... :up:

[The Question]

Well still, Jennifer Connelly will probably be about 36 or even older by the time WW starts filming, and she'll probably be past 40 by the time a sequel comes out.

No. Filming only usually takes up to six months. She'd be about 38 when a sequel would come out. But hey, we'll see who's cast. Whedon has a good eye for casting so he probably won't screw up.

[sfer1]

Well still, Jennifer Connelly will probably be about 36 or even older by the time WW starts filming, and she'll probably be past 40 by the time a sequel comes out.
Jennifer's birthday is on December 12. If they filmed the movie next year, she would be 35 in it. And if they did a movie every two years (ala Spiderman), she would be 37 in second film and 39 in the third one.

[Ciella]

So, wow, I'm coming out of Lurker-ville. Scary. I really didn't want to get in themiddle of this whole debate, mostly because I don't think that any of the actresses mentioned so far are really perfect for the part. But in my humble opinion, of all of them mentioned so far, Morena seems the best choice to me. Also I realize that nothing I say is going to change any minds, but since a picture says a thousand words, I thought I'd post some. :)


Hey look everyone, she can fence:

Someone mentioned earlier that they wanted to see what her legs looked like. This was the best I could find:
http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y204/breo_saighead/objects338.jpg

I thought she looked very Greek in this one:
http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y204/breo_saighead/inara3.jpg

And last, but not least, a very Amazonian pose. I even added a tiara for *****s and giggles:

[BK]

There any more shots like the last one? Looks very warrior-like but it's a bit dark to see her.

My only real problem with her look is her cheeks are a bit "full". Don't know how to explain it, a tad chubby in that area I guess...?

[Lobo]

Glad you decided to come out of Lurker-ville Ciella. I'm one of Morena's supporters though dpm07 and Aethea are her biggest supporters for the role here. Thanks for the pics I've looked all around and it's hard to find nice Hi Res shots of Morena where did you get those?

Thanks Lobo. I got the first three from this site: http://still-flying.net/images/ They have a lot of nice Firefly screen caps. The last one I captured myself, it's from the new Serenity trailer. It's only there for a second and yes, kind of dark, but I saw a pre-screening back in May and it's a very exciting scene.

[Timstuff]

How tall is she? She shows promise in those pics.

[Lobo]

Her bio's have her listed at 5'9 Timstuff

http://us.ent4.yimg.com/tv.yahoo.com/images/he/photo/tv_pix/fox/firefly_photos/_group_photos/morena_baccarin3.jpg

Nathan is listed as 6'1 so I have to question if Morena is really 5'9...she's likely closer to 5'7.

[Lobo]

I know but still her bio's have her at 5'9

[The Question]

I bet if Morena worked out more and built up some muscle, she'd look great for the part.

[Kane]

I agree that Morena would be great for it if she beefed up quite a bit. She was actually my first choice for WW the minute I saw Firefly on TV but Nadia has more of the body for it.

This was the Turner cover that reminded me of Nadia;

http://www.sufferingsappho.com/wrap/other/supesbats10.jpg

But again, Morena could be great for it if she beefed up and put on some blue contacts. I dont care about her cheeks, Lynda Carter had cheeks like her too and she was the best.

[The Question]

I dunno. I just don't see "WONDER WOMAN" when I see Nadia. I think Morena is the better choice if she got in the shape for it, which she probably would do if she got the job.

Wow! I am impressed. Especially with that last picture. Great Job. :up: :up:
Welcome to the Hype!

Everything I've read has Morena Baccarin at 5'9. That one picture that Lobo posted having her lean against Nathan Fillion could be deceiving. He's 6'1, and always wore boots in the show. It looks like an outtake, or a promo shot, and it's hard to say if she's even wearing shoes. It is possible she could have been barefoot in that picture. Which could give the illusion that she's shorter in that particular picture.

If you ever have the chance to listen to her speak, she carries herself with a very classy grace. She sounds older than she is. A good barometer of this, is to listen to her play Black Canary on JLU.

[sfer1]

Morena is 5'9" according to IMDB, but she looks shorter.
According to most other sites she's 5'7" or 5'8".
I even found a site about some kind of Firefly game that says Inara Serra, her character, is 1.67m (5'6½").
http://64.233.161.104/search?q=cache:hu0oEt1DnfMJ:madness237.com/Firefly/Inara/Inara.HTML+morena+baccarin+height&hl=es

[sfer1]

Oops, IMDb has Morena at 5'7¾" (1.72m) now.
http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1072555/bio

[Aethea]

Morena is perfect for the part. Love those pics!

[Timstuff]

Morena is definately the best choice I've seen so far. Also, since she was on Firefly, she and Whedon are obviousely familiar with eachother. I wouldn't be at all surprised if she's on his short list. I could definately get to liking her as Wonder Woman. :up:

[Antonello Blueberry]

http://www.celebheights.com/s/Morena-Baccarin-2044.html
Brazilian Actress from Firefly and Serenity. In 'Way off Broadway' she is asked how tall she is, to which she responds "5 foot 8". Hmm, she doesn't really look that tall...

[dpm07]

http://www.celebheights.com/s/Morena-Baccarin-2044.html

I'd take her at 5'8 in those red boots as Wonder Woman. Hell, I'd just take her period.:up: :p

Add 3-4 inches because of the boots and she's at 5'11-6' Wonder Woman height.

Lynda Carter was 5'8 and did Wonder Woman.

Here's a couple of interviews with Whedon. Not sure if either has been posted. One is from 7/1/2005, and the other was at the San Diego ComicCon. He touches on a few interesting things in the first interview, and the second is Serenity-based, but there is an interesting note about Wonder Woman. It looks like Morena Baccarin wants it, to put it mildly. My apologies if the information from the interviews have been posted.

Here are also some Morena Baccarin pictures. Man, it's hard to find good pictures on her. You're starting to see some things, here and there, but she's a good example of an unknown. Known, but unknown for the most part on the web. I took some of these from a fan site Morena-Baccarin.com. References for that site, and also from some other areas.

I still haven't found the money shot pictures I'm looking for. I've seen some, but they're on WireImage, and it costs an arm and a leg to get those photos.

Here's the pictures:

So, wow, I'm coming out of Lurker-ville. Scary. I really didn't want to get in themiddle of this whole debate, mostly because I don't think that any of the actresses mentioned so far are really perfect for the part. But in my humble opinion, of all of them mentioned so far, Morena seems the best choice to me. Also I realize that nothing I say is going to change any minds, but since a picture says a thousand words, I thought I'd post some. :)


Hey look everyone, she can fence:
http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y204/breo_saighead/shindig360.jpg

Someone mentioned earlier that they wanted to see what her legs looked like. This was the best I could find:
http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y204/breo_saighead/objects338.jpg

I thought she looked very Greek in this one:
http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y204/breo_saighead/inara3.jpg

And last, but not least, a very Amazonian pose. I even added a tiara for *****s and giggles:
http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y204/breo_saighead/inara1asww.jpg

she looks like a viable candidate. Can she act?

[The Question]

Just a small nit pick but Amazons are not from Greece. So the notion of WW looking Greek is baseless. Esp. when you look at her comic incarnations from the Beginning. (she os very fair skinned and not tan or ethnic looking)


First of all, while The Amazons were not origionally from Greece they did live there. Second, everyone is of an ethnicity, and thus everyone is ethnic.

[dpm07]

I think she did a good job with her role on Firefly with what she was given to do. She really played up the sexual tension with Nathan Fillion's character, the Captain of the Firefly. I think she does a good job playing Black Canary on JLU, and definitely sounds more mature than her age would have her.

I've heard good things about her in an independent film called Way Off Broadway, but it hasn't been released yet. Supposedly it will be released soon on DVD.

I haven't seen Rodger Dodger, but my brother says it's something of a cult favorite, and she's got a cool scene where she kind of stands out. She just plays a girl in the bar though.

I am looking forward to seeing her in Serenity, and seeing how her role is in that film.

[igotatromboner]

She doesn't have the face of WW. With all the pics people have posted, she just doesn't look like WW to me. If she is cast, I'm blowing off this movie. It's bad enough Whedon is directing, at least he could do something original with the casting.

[The Question]

I think she's got the face for a young WOnder Woman, which is what they're going for. And how is her casting unorigional? And what's wrong with Whedon?

[BT18]

First of all, while The Amazons were not origionally from Greece they did live there. Second, everyone is of an ethnicity, and thus everyone is ethnic.

You do know they were/are mythical right ?

This is not just directed at you but also who your responding to.

[The Question]

Yes. So? You do know Wonder Woman is fictional right?

[igotatromboner]

She has cheeks, I know that's nit-picky, but seriously. She doesn't have a slender face. She doesn't look strong. Whedon is only loved by fanboys. I'm a massive sci-fi guy, and Firefly is unbearable to me. When I first saw it, I didn't even know it was from the guy who did the Buffy crap. Don't get me started on how lame everything was with Buffy and Angel. He has never done anything I've liked and to this day, I've never seen a good fight scene from anything he's done. He's B-movie director at best. He seems like a guy that would cast Baccarin just because it's convenient. Not because she's the best for the job.

[Timstuff]

Give me More-ena. :D

Buffy and Angel were gret shows! What wasn't there to like about them?

thats true about Morena.....she would defintely need to tone it up...

[dpm07]

thats true about Morena.....she would defintely need to tone it up...

I don't think it would be a problem to do. She's young, and I believe that if anyone gets the role, that the first order of business among other things would be to get themselves in some kind of conditioning. Morena's also big into dancing, which carries a bit of physicality to perform. Bale did it after dropping 60 lbs, BJ Routh did it to prepare for Superman. Ron Perlman did it to prepare for Hellboy and he's over 50. Brad Pitt did it, and he's over 40. I believe if Morena Baccarin were given the role, she would definitely prepare herself physically. This would be the biggest break and role of her life, and I can't help but feel she'd really do everything she could to transition herself into making us believe she's Wonder Woman.

All indications through interviews I have seen lead me to believe that she is genuine and sincere about the role, and physical preparation would definitely be in order for any actress obtaining the part.

[Kroc1138]

First of all, while The Amazons were not origionally from Greece they did live there. Second, everyone is of an ethnicity, and thus everyone is ethnic.Actually They didn't. Their Homeland was somewhere in Asia minor, they often got into skirmishes and wars with the Greeks. (namely the Trojan War) But that's besides the point. In the comics they aren't the Amazons referenced in history or in the myths. As for my "Ethnic" comment, I guess I used that word out of context, but what I mean is that WW never had dark/tan appearance in the comics.(not to say that she should never)

[The Question]

Alright. I just hate when people misuse words. Like how people say "gay" when refering to homosexuals. Gay means happy, not homosexual. Also, wouldn't you think WW would have a bit of a tan since she grew up on a tropical island?

[BT18]

gay formerly applied exlusively to the "happy" use, it no longer does.

http://aolsvc.homeworkhelp.search.aol.com/homeworkhelp/search?query=gay&source=webster

It's not a misuse at all.

And yes it would be perfectly normal for WW to have a tan. The person arguing with you can't seem to articulate the physical traits I believe he wants to. I believe he's addressing her normally being drawn to look pretty consistantly drawn to look like someone with an ethnic background not overlapping with that of Morena Baccarin's.

[Fused]

I'm used to idiocy on these boards but we're going for a record with this post. Every homosexual I know uses the word gay to refer to that lifestyle. In addition to that there's nothing wrong with either context. I hope youre just 13 and simply don't know any better.

Also, wouldn't you think WW would have a bit of a tan since she grew up on a tropical island?IIRC, Themiscera(sp?) isn't really categoried as a tropical island. It's a mythical island. I don't think it's climate is any less dissimilar than the climate of the actual Amazons. Which was variable. Then again I'm not too sure.

CARMEN ELECTRA IS WONDER WOMAN!
The voluptuous actress is a trained gymnast, dancer, and martial artist. Her flowing dark hair, radiant face, and toned physique mirror every incarnation of the amazing amazon far better than anyone else (excluding Lynda Carter, of course). Electra has proven her abilites as an actress through her work in television and film projects such as Tripping the Rift, Summerland, and Scary Movie.

[dpm07]

That was a real waste of time loading all of that information for a woman who will never even be considered for the role. Think about it.

Do you honestly believe she will be considered for the role? I'll be kind and instead of delving too deep into reasons, will simply say she's too old.

[BK]

I agree.

Though I must admit, she had the ideal look 10 years ago (a pretty much flawless body, especially when compared to a WW of the comics). And if she was a very good actress, she would've been perfect. :(

[SolidRoar]

Carmen Electra again? *sigh*

[dpm07]

Carmen Electra is like 5'4, and that's in heels. She's really quite petite in real-life. She's pretty and that's about it. I don't think anyone will ever take her seriously as an entertainer. She's one of those people who's more famous for something she did a lifetime ago, and is still clinging on to that past fame.

She's more of a tv personality, and less of an actress.

[The Question]

Yeah, dude, can she even act?

[Timstuff]

OK, this thread was going along pretty good... But then someone had to come in and say Carmen Electra.

She's a terrible nomination. I'll just leave it at that and not bog you down with the hundreds of reasons why.

[Kane]

Yuck...Carmen Electra. Shed make a better evil no-name vixen for one of the villians in a superhero movie.

[ZeroCorpse]

I want to point out something here: I want a post-Crisis on Infinite Earths Wonder Woman, not a pre-crisis Wonder Woman. There's a difference. Perez really changed her, and the Lynda Carter Wonder Woman was based on the pre-Crisis version.

We've SEEN the pre-Crisis Wonder Woman on TV. We don't need a rehash. Let's see a movie version of Wonder Woman as she's been since 1987 when they rebooted the DC Universe.

This means I want an AMAZON, standing 5' 10" tall at least, with a toned body- She doesn't have to look like Chyna or anything, but she should have muscles; Think Linda Hamilton in Terminator 2.

I don't want a doughy, skinny, weakling with a model's body. I want to believe this woman can make Superman wince from a punch. I don't want a cheesy martial artist, I want a classical warrior. I don't want a snarky young woman- I want a mature adult who earns the title Wonder WOMAN.

It sounds to me like Joss wants to make Wonder GIRL. He and the producers want to cast a young woman (meaning under 24, most likely) and Joss doesn't want her to wear the stars and stripes. Expect someone like Kristiana Lokken, but with no real indicators that she's Wonder Woman.

Carmen Electra wouldn't get the job, by the way, because Whedon has said he wants a young actress. In Hollywood, "young" for a woman means 20. Once they hit 30, they aren't considered young, and that's a shame because I still think Lucy Lawless was born to play WW.

You think Kristanna Loken looks like a little girl? Okaaay.... :confused:

Just because an actress is young doesn't mean they look like a little girl. If they came off of some teen angst drama, then they probably look like a little girl. But there are plenty of actresses who look like young WOMEN avalible. You might argue "She's wonder WOMAN, not wonder GIRL!", but I could fire right back with "She's WONDER WOMAN, not SOCCER MOM!"

The only reason I can think of why someone wouldn't want an actress in her 20's as Wonder Woman is because that means it won't be Jennifer Conelly or Monica Bellucci. Well that's part of life. Morena Baccarin is the best nomination I've seen for the role, and I personally think she would be great as Wonder Woman.

I think we'll actually be getting a bit of both Pre-Crisis and Post-Crisis Wonder Woman. One clue that tipped me off was the fact that Warner Bros. now has a URL http://www.dianaprince.com set aside. Pre-Crisis Wonder Woman was the one I grew up and fell in love with, but there's things about Post-Crisis Wonder Woman that I like as well.
I think in order for this movie to work with a general movie going audience, you'll have to bring back some Pre-Crisis elements, such as Steve Trevor, Etta Candy and Diana Prince while also striking a balance with her Post-Crisis elements (Themyscira, Ares and the whole Greek mythology which I find fascinating).

Check out the archive section which features a detailed synopses of many of the pre and post crisis WW comic issues. Very informative. Also check out:

This site shows you the many changes WW's costume as undergone since her first appearance.

[The Kid]

thanks for the links.:up:

[BT18]

Yeah, dude, can she even act?

She was one the worst actresses on BAYWATCH. Just think about that for a second, it tells you how bad she is.

Maybe she's improved since then (I think it was among her first roles) but she'll never let that awful performance down.

The superhero movie role Carmen would be perfect for is Fartman's love interest in the Fartman movie. I hope they make it soon.

[The Question]

Yeesh. Anybody but Electra. Morena, Connelly, whoever, I don't care. As long as it isn't Carmen Electra I'll be happy.

she looks like she wants me! i want her also! LOL... :up:

[dpm07]

Definitely Morena Baccarin over Catherine Bell. Bell is hot, but her better days are behind her. She really doesn't look the same after having the kid. Not all, but many women lose their sex appeal after having a child. They get the soccer mom syndrome.

[green]

Not sure if her name has been tossed around in this thread yet, but what do you guys think of Camilla Bell. She's young though I believe 18 or 19, most people will remember her as the little girl from Jurassic Park : Lost World that got attacked at the beginning by Compys. She's grown up a little though. I think she's got a good look, pretty exotic.
I cant find her height though. She's getting great reviews for Chumscrubber which showed at Sundance.

Well, I still think she may be a better choice than Belluci, Connelly or many of the others names that fanboys have been going on about for months that are in no way being considered because of age. This girl can hold her own in a movie alongside Daniel Day Lewis, she's definately got some chops.

Bellucci and Connelly aren't being considered. They are in their mid to late 30's. Whedon has gone on record saying he was looking for someone in their early to mid-20's.

This girl is cute, but I don't see her making the cut as Wonder Woman. Give me Morena Baccarin any day over this girl. This girl looks like she could pass for Jennifer Connelly's daughter. She's pretty, but I'm not feeling her for Wonder Woman.

[varga]

I really wish that the story of the Wonder Woman movie would be about Queen Hippolyta & Princess Diana resolving their conflicts over time, wars, loves and possible futures. This follows the post-crisis story and bends it a bit for better cinema appreciation.

This will be great action and visual effects, costumes, characters over time. Ares as the war-god is also essential to Wonder Woman's story, more than anyone else. Demi Moore will be great as a virginal Queen Hippolyta - both majestic and tactical in her beauty and intelligence. She would be great in an action flick as the previous Wonder Woman fighting it off with a new equally strong & beautiful actress who's the present day Wonder Woman.

This would be good storyline to follow because it attracts and satisfies all parties - comicbook, TV, old, young and altogether new fans of our superheroine Wonder Woman.

If Whedon is going for the younger look, then J. Scott Campbell's version is probably the closest thing that it will look like. She looks barely legal here.:p
