Official Wonder Woman Casting Suggestions [merged-13]

[DarkKnightJRK]

I just noticed this:

The most ideal Woman for Wonder Woman? What, are we like a dating service or something? I mean, she's Wonder Woman, surely she can't pick up a woman herself? :D

[Steelsheen]

I beg to differ, Steelsheen. I'm pretty sure that Angelina has not had work done to her lips. If you, or anyone else, can prove me wrong, then more power to you. Again, I'm not 100% sure, but just enough to be mildly cocky about it. :cool:
its just an observation i made. i saw Bone Collector and thought the lady there looked like she can be Jolie's younger sister, only to realize later that that was Jolie! for some reason she looked different, then i realized her lips arent as "full" as they looked in say, Girl Interupted. can lipstick make so much difference? i didnt think so, so i thought maybe she had it pumped with a bit of collagen (the upper lip specifically)

[scifiwolf]

yeah, I guess lipstick can make a difference. Different shades and textures, mixed with lighting would make subtle differences in appearence. It seems to me that these factors, though somewhat insignificant, would account for such small changes from project to project.

Here's a really hi-res close-up
http://www.dikoplanet.com/Sfondi_Pc/Angelina%20Jolie%20v.jpg

Anyway, the lips aren't the most important thing. Angelina can act, she's proven that with her wide range of roles. She's also shown her more caring, maternal side with her work in third-world nations, which is another aspect of WW that should be exhibited, as some have previously mentioned.

[Steelsheen]

yeah, Jolie would fit the WW role like a glove.

too bad she's not as tall as we would've liked. according to IMDB she's only 5'8 :(

[Donnie Darko]

I think 5'8" is plenty tall. They can give her a little height in the heels, plus maybe cast people who won't tower over her or shoot her at angles that make her seem taller. It could work.

[pimpernel]

Jolie looks nothing like WW. Having dark hair and a nice rack doesn't automatically mean you look like WW. She would be a great "safety" choice tho, for if they couldn't find someone who actually looks more the part.

[Steelsheen]

I think 5'8" is plenty tall. They can give her a little height in the heels, plus maybe cast people who won't tower over her or shoot her at angles that make her seem taller. It could work.

certainly 5'8 aint short, for a woman specially. that's damn good respectable height, its just that WW is supposed to be an Amazon, so 5'11 is average Amazon height. looking at her in the comic books, her height aint so far from Superman, and it looks like she's on the level with Batman.

you got a good point that there's the heels to consider and the angles. if she wears 3 inch heels she'll be 5'11. good enough.

what i'm concerened about is crossover films like JLA. pretending that Bale will sign up to reprise his Batman role, is he too tall for Jolie's WW? google searching his height comes up as 6'2 (although he doesnt look it). we can pretty much assume that whoever will be the new Superman will be of similar height if not taller. i dont want WW to look up to these guys too much (if you know what i mean)

[Steelsheen]

Jolie looks nothing like WW. Having dark hair and a nice rack doesn't automatically mean you look like WW. She would be a great "safety" choice tho, for if they couldn't find someone who actually looks more the part.
Pimp, Jolie is as close to "Amazonian" as we're gonna get in this day and age, and i dont mean the height (read previous post) but the general personality. back up a few posts and you'll see we've outlined who Jolie is as a person. she's the one actress that can come close to qualifying for WW in every respect.

oh and Jolie is more than a dark haired beauty with a nice rack. she's a great actress too (Academy Award winning to boot).

dare i say.... the lady version of Christian Bale (looks+ talent= perfect actor)

[scifiwolf]

I'm in total agreement. Tom Cruise is perhaps the most bankable action today and he's a little shrimp. What's to keep Angelina from the role? Besides, is a JLA movie even in the stars? Warner Bros can't even get a decent movie made nowadays with one character, let alone multiple. (Hopefully Batman Begins and Superman Returns will end that shameful streak)

[Donnie Darko]

I really just don't know any good actresses that fit the "Amazon" description. The closest I can think of is Lucy Lawless. I really don't know how good of an actress she is, though.

[pimpernel]

No but thats my point... in terms of personality, body and acting chops she is totally perfect for the part, but her FACE doesn't look anything like WW. Thats what i mean about a great safety choice tho... she'd be perfect IF we couldn't find someone else with the personality, body, chops AND face.

[Scruff]

Wonder Woman being 5'11 and wearing 2-3" heels does put her very close to Superman's 6'3. 3" heels on a actress 5'8, doesn't give her the necessary height. Of course, Lynda Carter was only 5'9 and no one complained then.

[Crossdive]

Kristanna Loken, Kelly Hu, Catherine-Zeta Jones, Jeniffer Connelly, or, as a last resort, Lucy Lawless. Those are the most appealling ones I can think of, which are incidentally ones brought up already on this thread...

[Crossdive]

I don't know, it seems possible to me, and I figure, as long as it isn't gross, and as long as it isn't ridiculously hopeless, go on ahead, I'm glad to see superhero films arriving to the big screen.

[Steelsheen]

well, that's cuz WW wasnt standing next to Superman in those series ;)

i'm actually happy if they can find an actress who can fit all qualifications and be just 5'8. with the heels they can cheat things a little with the boots she'll be 5'11-6'.

[Donnie Darko]

yeah, we really don't need to cast WW based on the hopes for a JLA movie b/c that will never happen

[Steelsheen]

dont be too sure about that ;)

the BvS movie could well become a full blown JL movie before long.

[Crossdive]

JLA was always my preference for a movie, but since I couldn't seem to find news involving that I figured, why not do them all seperately if they won't do them together... God willing, though, we will see JLA with a movie instead of solo Aquaman and Wonder Woman...

[Metamorpho1977]

Megan Gale

[Slipping_Halo]

I'm praying there's no HULK 2. Why? So that someone, somehow, somewhere can convince Jennifer Connelly to take this role. The woman was born to play Diana. She has the look, the kind, caring presence, the acting skills. She's the best choice I can possibly think of.


ditto...ditto...ditto...ditto..ditto....ditto....d itto.....ditto.........

my GOD is she perfect

drool

[Crossdive]

I would rather that HULK 2 was done than this, JLA would work better in the long run anyway, even if it took more time to pull off, maybe they could still have her do it.

[mythicalheroes]

She looks the part. She was in CINO......but for like 2 nano seconds.

[Donnie Darko]

she could definitely fill the WW costume

[igotatromboner]

I'd hit it.

[pimpernel]

The words "can't act for beans" say it all.

[Mischievous]

If Selma Hayak didn't have such a strong spanish accent, i'd want her to do the role.

[igotatromboner]

Why not try someone from Italy, because WW is a character based in Roman mythology? So why not Monica Belluci? And why would you let Jessica Alba anywhere near another comicbook movie? Fantastic 4 and Sin City isn't enough? Belluci is perfect for the role, quit *****ing.

Wonder Woman is not a character based on Roman mythology. The Amazons were however, a part of Greek mythology. What a lot of folks are losing sight of is the fact that not all of the Amazon women were from Greece. They were from all over the known world and in the comics there are Amazons on Themysceria of various ethnic backgrounds. Wonder Woman herself has always been Caucasian with black hair and blue eyes.

yup and yup :up:

[Spike_x1]

I'm throwing all of my support towards Jennifer Connelly as WW.

She looks absolutely perfect for the role and she can act pretty damn good.
http://www.miserablelie.com/aoa/pictures/jc2.jpg

[igotatromboner]

Well I didn't mean WW was actually in Roman mythology, and I honestly thought it was Greek mythology but I thought Aries was Roman god, so I'm sorta confused about it all. We haven't gone over the gods in Latin class yet, so basically I'm talking out of my ass. But I still want Belluci for WW or an unknown, Connelly just doesn't do it for me.

[Oniwago 18]

Aries is a Greek god. Mars is the Roman equivalent.

My vote for Wonder Woman - Robin Tunney

Bless you Dodger. Kim Smith is #1 in my book and I'm not talking about my Wonder Woman book.

[Spike_x1]

*sigh* there's Arwen right there..... :(Huh? What are you talking about?

[hey yo its sean]

Jennifer Connelly for Wonder Woman. I used to be a Kim Smith advocate way back in the day, but decided Connelly was too gorgeous and too fine of an actress to be passed up. Plus, she could fill out that breast plate mighty nicely. I think she just needs to gain a few pounds of muscle.

[Spike_x1]

Agreed.
IMO she looks exactly how I'd picture a live-action version of WW.

*still don't get the Arwen comment above^* :confused:

[Donnie Darko]

he's probably saying that she SHOULD have played Arwen, since Arwen was supposedly the most beautiful woman in the land and she fits the description. I also find her far more beautiful than Liv Tyler.

[Spike_x1]

Oh. That makes more sense.

And yes, I too think that Connelly is the most beautiful person I've ever seen. I had my jaw on the floor when I first saw her in "A Beautiful Mind."

Kinda like this: http://www.computerpannen.com/cwm/cwm/cwm/eek2.gif

If Connelly regains her curvy, womanly figure, then she'd be a great Wonder Woman, visually. But if she goes stick thin again, hell no.

[SuperheroMike]

among the women already mentioned here, i think the following actresses could be perfect for Wonder Woman:

Catherine Zeta-Jones - never mind if she has kids! she definitely looks the part and we all know she can act. her figure is not a problem. if Christian Bale can go from being very skinny in The Machinist to very bulky for Batman Begins, i'm sure Catherine can get into Amazon shape in no time.

Jennifer Connely - i've never really considered her before, but reading all your messages made me realize she is also a contender. love her face!

Monica Bellucci - for an older, more experienced Wonder Woman? sure! she's a very versatile actress. she can do justice to the role.

my other candidates to play Diana are:

Rachel Weisz (The Mummy, The Mummy Returns, Runaway Jury) - she's done quite well in action movies; her acting's not bad either; she has a beautiful face and a great body.

Shannon Elizabeth (Nadia in the American Pie films) - i think she has potential for the role.

anyway, i really hope DC and WB get this movie right and cast the part right. i was really disappointed at what they did with Catwoman. i hope Laeta Kalogridis comes up with a really good script.

[Steelsheen]

he's probably saying that she SHOULD have played Arwen, since Arwen was supposedly the most beautiful woman in the land and she fits the description. I also find her far more beautiful than Liv Tyler.
DD got it right.

Connelly is not only more beautiful than Tyler, but Connelly is the actlual book description come to life version of Arwen (the way Elijah Wood is the book-come-to-life version of Frodo)

[walken]

ALANA DE LA GARZA. I think she'd be a killer Diana. She's got brown eyes, but hey, there's always contacts. :) I'd post a pic if I could figure it out but you guys can check her out at maximonline.com

[Oniwago 18]

I checked her out, since the name was familiar, but didn't bring up a face, and I'm pretty sure I know why. She's cute and all, but in those pictures, she just looks too mean to play Diana. I always pictured Wonder Woman with full cheeks, and Alana just doesn't have them.

[walken]

I have to disagree, although I've seen many pics of her. Her website is alanadelagarza.com. Anyway, I like the angular jaw. I never envisioned WW as a chubby faced or cherub faced girl. I think she looks pretty authentic:)

[Captain Wonder]

The ideal actor to portray Greg Rucka's version of Ares is controversial rapper and all around badass Eminem. The platinum blonde badboy received critical acclaim for his role in 8 Mile and the resemblance is uncanny. He would be quite convincing as the "G(od) of War".

http://us.ent2.yimg.com/musicfinder.yahoo.com/images/yahoo/aftermath/eminem/0502_eminem_b.jpg

[Donnie Darko]

I really cannot see why Eminem got the critical acclaim for 8 Mile. The movie was decent at best and he played... a white rapper from Detroit! Oh my God! Maybe I can be in a movie as a comic book reading college student from North Carolina!

[scifiwolf]

Eminem's screen presence is what won him critical acclaim. While I respect that you're saying the role itself wasn't much of a stretch, being able to deliver it is certainly not easy, especially for someone who's never acted a day in his life. The intensity in his eyes in every frame of that film is just mind blowing.

And as much as I positively love watching a Jennifer Connely performance, I just don't think she's right for WW. She's perfect for Diana, but not necessarily WW.

[misbegotten3]

8 MILE has the exact same plot as ROCKY. Only with rapping instead of boxing.

[scifiwolf]

8 Mile does not have the same plot as Rocky, it's not even close. Rocky gets a shot at the title to prove himself to the world. Rabbit just gets a shot to be onstage in a local hangout without choking before he can get in a lyric. Rocky fails, Rabbit succeeds. Adrianne is shy and faithful, Brittany Murphy's character is outgoing and loose. And when Rocky gets beat up, he dishes out just as much punishment to Apollo. Rabbit gets the s*** beat out of him and doesn't reciprocate.

Oh, and I forgot. This is a thread about WW and to whom it is the honor should befall to portray her on the big screen.

[The Batman]

Eminem? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!

And I thought Most of the casting choices in this thread were bad...

[Spike_x1]

I prefer chocolate m&m's, not rappers. :mad:

This is about whom should play WW on the big screen so I'll go with Charisma Carpenter. Because whoever plays WW should be a woman and not some Generation Y teenager designed to sell over produced pop albums to creepy guys living in their mother's basement. It wouldn't surprise me if some "brilliant" executive sitting deep in Warner Brothers thinks that Ashlee Simpson should play Wonder Woman. In my opinion CC would bring a lot of presense, personality and simple physicallity to the role. She in underestimated by a lot of people for her work on both BTVS and A:TS; yet both shows lost a certaing pizaaz when she left. This is only my opinion though, nothing more nothing less.

Rabbit didn't reciprocate when he got s*** beat out of him because he didn't have the eye of the tiger. The will to do things right. The eye of the tiger.

[Crossdive]

i never thought about liv tyler, she could also work well...

[Steelsheen]

urk! not Tyler no

she mangled Arwen, dont let her go anywhere near my favorite superheroine.

[scifiwolf]

If I had to pick between Liv Tyler with her bee-stung lips and Angelina Jolie with hers, I'm definitely going with Angelina.

SCHWING!

[Scruff]

Fantasy casting aside,...they're giving us a 30 y/o Batman and a 25 y/o Superman. The casting rumors of about 2 years ago even stated they'd be looking for an actress 25-30. While many beautiful actresses over the age of 30 have been listed, deep down we all know the actress who gets the part will be under 30. (Personally, I'd never have cast a Superman that young, but this thread isn't about that.)

[Phantomex]

EXACTLY! An Amazon. If some of you want to Hollywood it out, that's your deal, but my vote goes to Alana De La Garza.

She has a decent look for the part. But have you actually seen her in anything? Can she act?

And how tall is she? I'm not a stickler for height but I do think any actress playing an amazon should be at least 5'7" or more.

Alana De La Garza is an amazing actress. I don't know if any of you saw her in the episode of Las Vegas that she guest starred in, but I swear, she's the real deal.http://img113.exs.cx/img113/315/TheRock-AlanaDeLaGarza-LasVegas-EP7-ProsAndCons-3.jpg

[Crossdive]

chyna... that is one horrible idea... sorry, I just can't stand her, forgive the rudeness.

[Booker T]

If they are indeed going for someone slightly younger for the role, why not jessica alba. She can act, and with a bit of time in he gym could look the part. Height is not necessarily an issue, camera angles can easily take care of that. She has the exotic look needed. Alternately Kate Beckingsale, Jennifer Connolly and Angelina Jolie could all be good choices for a slightly older WW. An outsider for the role could be Charlize Theron. She's tall enough and would bring credible acting to the role, but may lack the amazon-like look to pull it off.

[tommyboy]

Has anybody mentioned Kate Beckinsale..she is one of the most beautiful women in movies today,has a great figure (check out her Diet Coke commercials) can act, and has proven she can do action movies like "Underworld" and" Van Helsing" and is the right age....she just might be the one!


I second that idea.

[ZeroCorpse]

Alana De La Garza looks like a good choice.

My choice has always been Lucy Lawless, but I never saw De La Garza before, and she's got the look.

Most of the others are too skinny, too well-known, and too model-like.

[walken]

The thing is about De La Garza is she's a real capable actress. That is my major prerequiste. That's why Tobey Macquire pulled off Spiderman (at least in most of the public's eyes :)) We need a good strong not too well known actress. I mean, Alba is already going to be Sue Storm and I'm sorry, but it tarnishes it for me if they try and play more than one character. Jolie was Tomb Raider and she's a little old.

[Donnie Darko]

Jolie is 29. Not that I'm strongly backing Jolie for the role, but she's not old.

[walken]

Jolie is twenty-nine!!! That's crazy, she looks much older to me. I'm 28 myself. She looks like, I'd say, mid-30's. Plus she's been Tomb Raider. And Connelly was in Hulk. And older. I don't like the multi-character thing, I don 't know why it bugs me so much. Darko, who do you like for WW?

[Donnie Darko]

Ideally, I'd go with Jennifer Connelly. I just think she's beautiful and a great actress and would definitely fill out the "Wonder bra." However, I also really like Charisma Carpenter for the role, and based on looks alone, since I've never seen her act, Alana De La Garza looks good for it.

[AGL 2]

Alana De La Garza is an amazing actress. I don't know if any of you saw her in the episode of Las Vegas that she guest starred in, but I swear, she's the real deal.http://img113.exs.cx/img113/315/TheRock-AlanaDeLaGarza-LasVegas-EP7-ProsAndCons-3.jpgShe's a little evil-looking.

[scifiwolf]

Plus she's been Tomb Raider. And Connelly was in Hulk. And older. I don't like the multi-character thing, I don 't know why it bugs me so much.

What's wrong with playing multiple characters? It's the dream situation for an actor to have played many big-name characters. Look at Patrick Stewart. He's got Jean-Luc Picard and Professor Xavier under his belt, not to mention many other roles. I think Angelina Jolie certainly has enough room in her portfolio to tack on Wonder Woman.

[scifiwolf]

My computer fouled up and posted twice.

[walken]

I just prefer someone fresh. I think Jolie or Connelly could both make great Wonder Women. :) But, I like big almond eyes like De La Garza's. Her face looks more like an amazonian warrior to me. And I mean that as a compliment. High cheek bones. Full lips. Full... S**t I'm starting to sweat. I like her acting, did I mention that? :) I wish someone that was keen on Photoshop would do a manip of her.

[swifty]

I love Michelle Rodriguez! Aside from Selma Hayek she would be perfect for Stan Lee's Wonder Woman. But I can' wait to see her in S.W.A.T. And hopefully, she can get that role as Lucrezia (Lucrecia?) Borgia. I'd pay to see her play that.

edit

[swifty]

Chyna (Joni Laurer) whay hasn't anyone chosen her? She would be AWESOME!


why not cast Anold for WW while your at it!!!

[swifty]

DD got it right.

Connelly is not only more beautiful than Tyler, but Connelly is the actlual book description come to life version of Arwen (the way Elijah Wood is the book-come-to-life version of Frodo)

[GL1]

When you want talent, that foreign look and beauty (and someone who's not pushing 40) then there's not many other places you need to look beyond Saffron Burrows. You remember Deep Blue Sea? No... okay... remember Troy? Yeah, Hector's wife. Oh yeah, she's six feet tall.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v107/Hype1/SaffronBurrows1.jpghttp://img.photobucket.com/albums/v107/Hype1/Troy216.jpg
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v107/Hype1/SaffronBurrows3.jpghttp://img.photobucket.com/albums/v107/Hype1/SaffronBurrows2.jpg

The only thing un-wonder woman about her is that she doesn't seem to have a porn-sized rack, however, I think that costuming can cope with that if need be (right bra should fix that, cuz she sho ain't flat-chested)... me listing her other abilities to play wonder woman including: a political upbringing, willingness to change her hair color, restrained elegant fashion sense, high mediterranean style cheekbones and overall acting talent...

She may very well be to Wonder Woman what Christian Bale is to Batman... and she's about the same age...

EDIT:
"Circle of Friends" (1995), Saffron plays Nan Mahon, a gorgeous supermely self confident socialite who is used to getting her way. She is also typically flanked by overeager would be suitors--This isn't too far away from the dead sexy goddess and warrior princess we all know and love.

"Deep Blue Sea" (1999), Saffron plays Dr. Susan McCallister, a brilliant, highly determined marine biologist... the head of her secluded underwater facility, where she, in the end, heroically sacrificies herself to keep the evil sharks from escaping into the world--Not only is the good Dr. believably intelligent, but obviously driven and, when it all comes down to it, supremely heroic, despite the protests of her protective allies.

"Frida" (2002), Saffron plays Gracie, an elegant Metropolitan woman with a great eye for art, character and beautiful people. What is Diana if not a New York resident and a patron of the arts?

"Troy" (2004), Saffron plays Andromache, Hector's wife who oozes reason, devotion and beauty to her warrior husband as an advisor as well as a lover--even in the face of his death. And she's buddy buddy with Apollo and Aphrodite as well... need I say more?

Okay... I'm done...

[RogueyStars2004]

I'm praying there's no HULK 2. Why? So that someone, somehow, somewhere can convince Jennifer Connelly to take this role. The woman was born to play Diana. She has the look, the kind, caring presence, the acting skills. She's the best choice I can possibly think of.
:xmen: I think Jennifer Connely would make a terrific Wonder Woman! She is actually my runner up pick! My first pick is Nadia Bjorlin. Her look reminds me a lot of Lynda Carter. She has the long thick flowing dark locks. She is part Swedish and part Persian, so she defiently has that exoctic look going on. Someone awhile back actually made a photo manip of her as Wonder Woman and she looked smashing! Also, I think that Lynda Carter should play Diana's mom, Hippolyta(sp), what do you guys think?:xmen:

~RogueyStars2004~

[Spike_x1]

Only in America, my man. Only in America.Good thing I'm in Canada then, isn't it? :D

[cokeisit]

I think that Lucinda Dickey the star of the Breakin' movies and Ninja 3 The Domination would be a great choice to play Wonder Woman in the upcoming movie. She is a gymnast and very athletic and looks the part, she practicly looked like Wonder Woman in Ninja 3 The Domination, all she was missing was the outfit. I think she would be great as Wonder Woman.

The Great Wonder Woman I Think Should Be Kristen Krueck From Smallville

The more and more i think about it.....I think Jennifer Connely would be THE perfect actress to play Diana. No one else even comes close....

Ideally, I'd go with Jennifer Connelly. I just think she's beautiful and a great actress and would definitely fill out the "Wonder bra." However, I also really like Charisma Carpenter for the role, and based on looks alone, since I've never seen her act, Alana De La Garza looks good for it.


Jennifer Connelly would be perfect! She gets in the best shape of her life......WOW.....she IS the Amazon Queen. I really want the movie to be a serious war type of film...that is mostly done on Diana's island. Her suit should have plenty of rusty looking gold.....kinda like the Gladiator and Troy style gear....fitted for a woman of course......the Wonder Woman better stay as far away from campiness as possible.....

[Dark Knight]

Hot tip fellas...you can forget all of your suggestions. I have been doing some recce around "the block" and let me tell you, the names put up by everyone here are NOT GOING TO HAVE A CHANCE IN HELL to play the big-screen adaptation Wonder Woman.

Actually, she might be good if she wasn't way too short, thin, young, and have an annoying voice. Other than that, I think it'd be cool to have a bi-racial Wonder Woman. If only we could get her some growth steroids and make her sprout to 6 feet tall.

[echostation]

say whatever you want about Demi Moore, granted she may be too old now for the role but she could still kick any..and EVERY SINGLE other girl's ass listed in this entire topic...seriously, she honestly beat the **** out of every other actress...she's friggin built like a brick house, look at GI Jane and Striptease...she's effin bloody tough... beat the crap out of your average geek any day

[That-Guy]

Oh, come on, echo. You know you really want BOBBY CARSONS to play Wonder Woman. Don't lie.

[tamron]

Tsianina Joelson would be a good candidate, so I'll throw her name out there. She's a former fitness model and martial artist. She had a recurring role as the Amazonian warrior Varia on Xena, and she was also in American Pie 2 and Bring It On. She's got the physicality and the sexuality to play WW.

Connelly or Bellucci or (at a push) Jolie.

[hey yo its sean]

How is Connelly short? She's 5'8.

It's not 5'11, but still, for a girl, that's not bad. I don't understand where this "short" business is coming from. Kiddy? Yeah, her chest looks like that of a kid's. >_>

[The Flash]

I don't know who should play WW, there are so many good choices out there, but 2 I don't like, are Minnie Driver(Doesn't look like WW) and Catherine Zeta-Jones(Over hyped and doesn't look like WW).

Jennifer Connelly is a favorite choice of mine, and so is Monica Belucci. I would accept either one of them.

1) She is too butch.

2) Those pics are years old and she looks way older now.

3) She has retired from acting. She was interviewed when she did Eurotrip and she said that was a special exception and she wasn't doing any more acting.

[pimpernel]

You were doing good with Mandy Moore, Kristanna Loken and Kristen Kreuk, then you lowered your standards by mentioning Connelly and Belluci. Connelly is not "fully growned" as I've mentioned above even if she is indeed 5' 8". Currently she still looks like a teenage girl who's lost all her glow and vitality and is starting to wrinkle. She'll grow old looking like a kid not a woman like Linda Carter or Catherine Zeta.

Bollocks. If Zeta Jones moves her face it'll crack. She is one of the most over-rated actresses ever.

Connelly is a honey and she is every inch a woman, as is Bellucci... whom i notice you couldn't actually find a criticism for. Go look at Lynda Carter. She looked like a cherub-faced high-school cheerleader. And WW the TV series is NOT what a PROPER WW movie should be based on anyway. Thats like basing Batman Begins on the Adam West show.

[Antonello Blueberry]

After looking at all y'alls proposed candidates, Catherine Zeta jones seems to be the only one who exhibits "real womaness". She's mature, graceful, somewhat sofisticated, somewhat exotic(not your average american girl), dark hair, and fully growned(meaning none of her body part have stunted during growth). She looks like a woman, not short and kiddy like Jennifer Connolly, Britney spears, Jennifer Connelly, Kate Beckensale, Carmen Elektra and others.
SNIP

Most of the 90s/2000s playmates are short, stocky, most have fake boobs to make up for their short legs, skanky, not very graceful, child like features(not fully grown), looked like they had too much sex at an early age. Basically no sofistication at all. They could all be pornstars and nobody would flinch.



Catherine Zeta Jones, though a stunning woman, is now a bit old to be Wonder Woman, who should be barely 20 when she comes to the world of the men.
And for the 2000 Playmates being short and stocky, what about Summer Altice who's 5ft10, long legged and with no breast implants?

Monica Bellucci is 40 and just gave birth to a baby girl. Though a gorgeous woman (said by me, who saw her in person) she's hardly the warrior type.

[SolidRoar]

She could play Diana's mother. :p

[TheDarkKnight83]

Connelly would be a top of choice of mine, but there's also someone I've thought of that no one has mentioned. Lauren Graham,
http://www.s515.com/LG/lauren5wb2.jpg http://www.filmandtelevision.com/about/lauren.jpg
She 5'9" and looks a little like Connelly but just not as frail as she's been looking lately. But the only thing I'm not sure about is if she could handle all the action and dramatic stuff since all I've seen her in is comedies. Just a thought though.


Oh, and for pimpernel:
http://www21.addr.com/~almeath/photos/older_1/portrait4.jpg

[pimpernel]

She is not 40. This is a common misconception caused by IMDB having the wrong DOB on their site. Most other sites (including her official one) give her age as 36. My ex gf also says she was cited as 36 in Cosmo or whatever too. The important thing tho is not how old she is, but DOES SHE LOOK GOOD FOR HER AGE... and the answer is yes. She does not look like most women her age. She looks womanly yet not old.

And she could very easily be the warrior type. I find it shocking that some people suggest that girls such as Mandy Moore could be a convincing warrior type yet Bellucci apparently can not. Bellucci has done numerous action roles and pulled them all off easily.

While i will defend Bellucci to the hilt for this role i still gotta say that i actually favour Connelly, and all the same arguments apply to her. In actual fact tho Connelly looks EVEN YOUNGER for her age than Bellucci, and she has the benefit of looking EXACTLY like Adam Hughes' WW.

[terry78]

As I mentioned on the Minnie Driver thread, there is only one obvious choice now for Whedon to make, if he does do it.

http://jackperr.free.fr/carrie-anne_moss.jpg

[The Batman]

As far as I'm concerned, none of you know how to cast Wonder Woman properly.

[Slipping_Halo]

NO NO NO NO NO NO

Jennifer Connelly DAMMIT

how can anybody even SUGGEST someone like Mandy Moore? I don't think people are seriously trying to find the living embodiment of these characters. They just want someone they can beat off to. Well I'm going by it like this:

Superman: Christopher Reeve...BORN to be him. But sadly, he can't be forever. Brandon Routh has yet to prove himself, but I have faith.

Batman: We've been fortunate enough to have found TWO perfect people in the character's history, Micheal Keaton and Christian Bale...both are FANTASTIC.

Wonder Woman: Do you guys really think that someone like Mandy Moore can hold up to those guys? Linda Carter was and is beautiful, and she was phenomenal in the role in her time. Unfortunately, now it's time for someone else to take it on and join those classic powerhouses. Jennifer Connelly is my number one choice because (and you guys seriously can't deny this) she LOOKS like friggin Wonder Woman. Monica Bellucci would satisfy me as well, however, because she is another living embodiment of the character: beautiful, maternal yet sexy, and the ability to portray power and spirit because she's an amazing actress.

the people who suggest Mandy Moore and people of the like, in my opinion, are not taking this thing seriously.i think i speak for the Connelly/Bellucci fans when I say we don't just want some movie with a hot chick in the Wonder Woman outfit (which with a couple of hundred bucks we could do ourselves). we want a GOOD movie.

Jennifer Connelly and that's final



...except if Monica Bellucci does it.

[Antonello Blueberry]

As I mentioned on the Minnie Driver thread, there is only one obvious choice now for Whedon to make, if he does do it.
Carrie-Anne Moss

She certainly looks the part more than any other actress mentioned in this thread, but she's too old at 37. Warner probably thinks of Wonder Woman as a franchise of at least three movies in five or six years. Would she (or Monica or Jennifer Connelly) be a good Diana at 40-plus years?

[Slipping_Halo]

Yes

[pimpernel]

As far as I'm concerned, none of you know how to cast Wonder Woman properly.

You're wrong but thanks for the input.

[SolidRoar]

I hope they don't cast someone under 25 for the role. I can't see WW under that age. Monica Bellucci would have been great for the part years ago, but I understand that she's too old now (and as someone said: she doesn't like exercising). She could play Queen Hippolyta, though.

[pimpernel]

Yes

:up: :up: :up:

You wouldn't even have that kinda discussion with Bale, and the vast majority were more than happy for Jim Caviezel to be Superman.
Connelly and Bellucci will still be perfect at 40.

Nah either Lynda Carter or Claire Stansfield...

...should play Hippolyta.

And you're wrong about Bellucci. Ageist. :p

[SolidRoar]

Bellucci as WW will always be a dream. Trust me, I was a supporter, too. :) But I just know it's not gonna happen. I'd rather see her as Hippolyta than not seeing her in the movie at all. lol

[pimpernel]

I hear ya. Thing is there are sooo amny roles for hot females in a WW movie... i mean if she doesn't land the role she could still be Circe or something y'know? I think in all probability if they have even a shred of decency they will offer Hippolyta to Lynda Carter.

Funnily enough even tho they are around the same age i still think Connelly is way more likely to get it than Bellucci. She just looks younger i guess. She is in the same kinda bracket as Christian Bale and she gets cast as the love interest opposite guys his age all the time, so to cast her as his contemporary in WW is no big stretch at all.

[pimpernel]

Oh, and for pimpernel:
http://www21.addr.com/~almeath/photos/older_1/portrait4.jpg

:up: :up: :up:

Y'know i actually have that Front Calendar. :D

Who says she doesn't have the figure? She may keep the puppies under wraps and pinned down these days but they are still there and perky as ever. Just go rent House Of Sand And Fog if proof be needed.

[SolidRoar]

Connelly is indeed one of the best actresses these days - not to mention beautiful, too - but I'm not sure how she'd look as Wonder Woman. We'd be lucky if she accepted the role. For some reason I doubt it, though.

For now, I'm not worried about the actress as much as I'm worried about the direction they want the movie to take. I hope they don't make it "just another superhero movie". I wanna see them address her origin. I want it to be more of a Greek mythology fantasy film (at least part of it).

[pimpernel]

True. I wanna see it given the same epic treatment that Superman the movie got back in the day, but as you say come at it from a greek myth angle. Could be awesome. The writer definately doesn't inspire hope tho. BoP sucked and i hear Alexander (which i thin is the other big thing she did) is a total mess... which is scary cos thats just the kinda of sword & sandals approach WW would probably need. :(

As for how Connelly would look... c'mon man check out the manip. Her bod isn't tthat much different than Lynda Carter's except she is a bit leaner and more toned, which is actually a good thing.

[SolidRoar]

No, the BoP writer is the one that worked on Tomb Raider. Alexander was written/directed by Oliver Stone. But you're right, she was rumored as working on WW. I hope it's not true. She's a bad writer for such movies, IMO. I hated Tomb Raider and I despised her work on Birds of Prey. However, the latest rumors suggest that Whedon is the one currently working on WW.

[Red Mask]

Does anybody else think that having a kid in real life kills the mystique of the actress?

[Red Mask]

I say... bollocks. Batman, Superman and Flash are all go. Green Lantern is THIS close to go. Wonder Woman WILL get off the ground in the next two years, mark my words.

And I say bollocks to that. There is no guarentee that WW will be made in the near future just because they've reached the script stage. It could take two years, or it could be another seven. And has anybody here know if Connelly or Bellucci are interested in the role? So far all I've read about are comments from Sarah Michelle Gellar and Minnie Driver.

[pimpernel]

Ah see being being interested is another matter entirely and we can't answer that. All people are saying is that they should be offered the part. Sure SMG and MD have expressed interest... but so had Sandra Bullock and Charisma Carpenter and just about every chick in Hollywood... most of whom are not even remotely right for the role.

And whatever you think i can almost GUARANTEE that WW will start shoting in the next year, two at the very most. I'm willing to lay money on it. DC are finally waking up and alomst every one of their big hitters is a go. They are not stupid enough to wait til this boom has ended and then do WW. Sure you don't hear much about it, but then the thing about Flash and Goyer came apparently out of the blue too. The wheels are in motion. And look at Superman. It took them like three months at most to get a director and crew together and get a good script and get greenlit. Its not gonna be years its gonna be months.

And to the guy that said the actress should be "pure" and not have a kid...STFU. She isn't gonna be playing herself you moron. Deal with it.

Also... Connelly isn't exactly picky about her roles. So long as the movie is halfway decent she'll do it... especially since she can now do it under the guise of "i did so i have something my kid can watch me in."

[Babs Gordon]

oh please what is so wrong with being a mother who happens to show off a little skin for the role she is playing? i see NOTHING wrong with that.
besides, its wonder woman. it's not like she's a freakin porn star. she's wearing the equivalent of a bathing suit and she is a fine, upstanding citizen of the world.

[pimpernel]

Not if she's playing mommy roles or regular drama roles.

For superheroine roles where she will be worshiped by millions of obsessed geeky guys, NO!! If she has a kid already, most likely she's still married. Hollywood celebrities already has the highest divorce rate of any group, lets help them out by not adding anymore fuel to the fire by allowing the actress to feel the need to shake it for all to see because she somehow feels sexy or she fits a certain role.

It would be to a married woman with kids interest to exercise restraint by not accepting roles that shows off her A$$ets. I know it's hard when you're HOT, but have some respect for the kids and husband. It's a moral thing.....


Two words to you... angelina jolie. And don't give me that "her kid is adopted" crap either... she is still the kids mother... and while we're at it she isn't exactly shy about the fact that she'd do pretty much most things with legs... yet most fanboys seem to have no problem worshipping her.

[pimpernel]

I hear they're looking for someone to play a hooker, would your mom be interested? You don't have to worry, she won't be playing herself.

Nice to see we can keep a level of maturity here. :up:

:up: :up: :up:

[pimpernel]

She qualifies since she hasn't physically had the kid herself so she fulfills that part of my expectation for WW. Unfortunately she doesn't have the body for it. She's too slouchy and got no "womanly" hips. From her waist down she looks like a guy.

Oh. My. God.

[Donnie Darko]

ok, I'm gonna bring something to everyone's attention... the TITLE of this thread. The title is not "who would you cast assuming that the movie will not be made for another four year, so make sure you don't cast anyone 'too old'." It's your IDEAL WW.

[Franklin Richards]

Here's a female chiming in.

Your arguments are just plain krass and sexist.


Now back to Wonder Woman.


Find me the actor that has these eyes...


http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v418/AuntPetunia/Wonder%20Woman/notiara.jpg


...and make sure she has some skills and that's my Wonder Woman.


:thing: :doom: :thing:

[pimpernel]

I don't know dude, in the world that we live in, chicks running around in bathing suit outfits aren't considered fine, upstanding citizen of the world, but HOES!! They caused more problems than they're worth. Personally I wouldn't mind seeing more of those cuz all our current fine upstanding female citizens of the world are Margaret Thatcher and Hillary Clinton like.:D

oh please what is so wrong with being a mother who happens to show off a little skin for the role she is playing? i see NOTHING wrong with that.

I wouldn't call it a little skin. Not when the role calls for her charactor to do some running and fighting while filmed from certain angles. Plus the studios know that the reason WW will be a hit is because of the "skins", not charactor development or scripts. That's why you and many others wouldn't mind a WW movie. Isn't it kind of weird that WW is being discussed by a bunch of guys and hardly any female members on this board?

WW is going to be 90% sexuallity, not like other comic book charactor that needs unusually good stories and directing just to ensure it won't fail. Thats' why it is more important to get a super HOT chick that isn't someone elses mom. While there are many fine moms out there who would look great with little clothing. This is WW we're talking about, she's so HOT she don't even have a daddy. Millions of male fans around the world will be looking forward to worship whoever lucky enough to play her. The studio must not lower the standard.

Look man if you wanna go rant about the decline of morality and femininity in today's society then go do it in Community. If you wanna make some sensible comments about WW then get your head outta your ass and do it.

[Spike_x1]

Why the hell do people keep typing "y'all"? Is it really so hard to type it correctly?

[pimpernel]

If this is directed at me in anyway, I just like to add that if the WW movie were to ever get made, it's success will ultimately be determine by male movie goers, not females. So if Hollywood set it's standards high and find a super hot actress(preferably one that hasn't had a kid or played dirty roles:D). This movie is guaranteed to be runaway hit, It's not sexiest, it's the truth. Look at what y'all women did to TITANIC. You made James Cameron almost a billionaire and Leanardo a superstar overnight from just this one movie. Now we fightin back, WW will be our TITANIC. Y'all better buy your tickets way in advance and come early if you want good seatings.:D

*cough*moron*cough*

BTW you are just plain wrong. You say fanboys want a "super hot actress (preferably one that hasn't had a kid or played dirty roles)" when in fact fanboys are renowned for their hormones... i think "dirty roles" would actually endear an actress to most fanboys... just look at angelina jolie again for instance. And considering that a quick browse thru the poll reveals most of the candidates to be either men's mag fodder with no real acting chops or just outright bikini models, i really don't think "dirty roles" are gonna bother most fanboys. Also the Titanic thing is so sexist its unbelievable. And crap. In my experience if anything WW is considered to be a superhero for girls, so if anything the movie is gonna be their superhero film in the way that Charlie's angels was thier action film. And before you start. yes i am aware CA is beloved of drooling fanboys too, but it was also taken up by girls to an extent that other action films are not.
Finally, all that matters is who is right for the role... not what other stuff they have done or what is going on with their personal lives.

[pimpernel]

Anyways back on track. Finally finished it...

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v310/simonpimpernel/wwcon7.jpg

[pimpernel]

DAM...I'm pretty disappointed, I thought that by this time with all my somewhat repetitive rambling filled with detailed and colorful descriptions of why I said what I said, you'd at least understand something I've said or get a little smirk from my sarcasm. Especially when just about everything I've posted here revolves around the WW charactor in one way or another.

Perhaps you shouldn't take this so seriously, you're trippin over someone elses disagreement with your choice of actress for the role and you're resorting to name callings. It's a movie that hasn't even been given the greenlight. It's all speculation on everyones part. Chill!!

See that MIGHT be what i'm doing... or i might just "get" your "joke" and think its the least funny thing i've heard all week. I don't suffer fools.

[hey yo its sean]

5'8" is a reasonably good height, but not "fully growned" as you've pointed out. Michael Jackson looks like an aging teanager at 40yrs old. Michael doesn't look "fully grown" like Denzel. Jennifer Connelly doesn't look "fully growned" like Linda Carter.




















What the f**k are you talking about?

[Dark Knight]

I'm praying there's no HULK 2. Why? So that someone, somehow, somewhere can convince Jennifer Connelly to take this role. The woman was born to play Diana. She has the look, the kind, caring presence, the acting skills. She's the best choice I can possibly think of.


yeah Connelly would be ideal....

[Dark Knight]

As the years pass, when WB finally gives the green light on the film, ALL of these women will be too old to play the character. What do you all say to that, eh? Eh?


it would be dumb move if they passed up on Connelly because of age?? Connelly doesn't look old at all, by any stretch of the imagination. Zeta-Jones is overhyped, and is starting to look oldish.....plus she has two kids and i would rather see Connelly get toned up instead of Jones...

[Dark Knight]

As far as I'm concerned, none of you know how to cast Wonder Woman properly.

wow...i guess Connelly is a bad choice?? and give us the reason why? she is a good actress, not overhyped, beautiful in a natural looking way, and is still relatively young looking. Only thing she would need to do is tone up and bulk up a bit......boom! ideal Diana material....

[Dark Knight]

Connelly is indeed one of the best actresses these days - not to mention beautiful, too - but I'm not sure how she'd look as Wonder Woman. We'd be lucky if she accepted the role. For some reason I doubt it, though.

For now, I'm not worried about the actress as much as I'm worried about the direction they want the movie to take. I hope they don't make it "just another superhero movie". I wanna see them address her origin. I want it to be more of a Greek mythology fantasy film (at least part of it).

i want more origin and mythology also in the film....and no campiness...

[Dark Knight]

Here's a female chiming in.

Your arguments are just plain krass and sexist.


Now back to Wonder Woman.

:thing: :doom: :thing:


then that be Jennifer Connelly my friend...all the way. I would cast Connelly on her eyes....alone!

[Dark Knight]

Not if she's playing mommy roles or regular drama roles.

For superheroine roles where she will be worshiped by millions of obsessed geeky guys, NO!! If she has a kid already, most likely she's still married. Hollywood celebrities already has the highest divorce rate of any group, lets help them out by not adding anymore fuel to the fire by allowing the actress to feel the need to shake it for all to see because she somehow feels sexy or she fits a certain role.

It would be to a married woman with kids interest to exercise restraint by not accepting roles that shows off her A$$ets. I know it's hard when you're HOT, but have some respect for the kids and husband. It's a moral thing.....

If it was me with the power to cast. I'd give the job to a hot single actress, not to someone elses hot wife. There are plenty of HOT unknowns out there that Hollywood has left out because they always give parts to those who already made it. So in that respect, I'll be helping out unknowns get their chance to make it and saving some husband tons of headache. Plus I'm 100% sure most of y'all will find a HOT actress who hasn't had a kid much more vibrant and appealing.


oh no.....not again with the going the complete unknown route.......god please no. Connelly IS Diana.....

[pimpernel]

Lame comeback....

As I've said above, you're trippin over my opinion of your favorite pick for WW and just like everyone else with too much pride, you resort to name calling when face with such dilema. So let me remind you again, it's just my opinions, has no more weight than yours or anyone else. But what might surprise you is that your opinions also has no more weight than mine or anyone else also. Sorry to bring you bad news.

BTW...Nice job on the photochop painting, Jennifer is perfect as Wonder girl, now Hollywood just has to find the perfect WW actress.:D

See yet again you prove you're a *****wit. I believe you were the one to start making "yo momma" comments at me, and actually i've been pretty damn restrained, which kinda just makes a mockery of everything you just said.
And i actually i couldn't give a stuff if you like Connelly or not. I was "tripping" over your dumb immature sexist remarks.

[SolidRoar]

oh no.....not again with the going the complete unknown route.......god please no. Connelly IS Diana.....You know? Now that I think of it, they should definitely get an unknown for the part. lol


Anyway, I don't know if this was posted before. Just found it:

BUFFY STARS BATTLE OVER WONDER WOMAN ROLE

http://www.contactmusic.com/new/artist.nsf/0/C05F1160EEE0740280256EAE003C53AF/$File/sarahmichellegellarap.jpg
Ex-BUFFY stars SARAH MICHELLE GELLAR and CHARISMA CARPENTER are allegedly competing for the lead role in forthcoming superhero movie WONDER WOMAN.

The actresses - who played BUFFY SUMMERS and CORDELIA CHASE in the hit TV series - are battling for the iconic role after their former boss, JOSS WHEDON, agreed to direct the movie remake of the 70s television show, reports British newspaper the DAILY RECORD.

An insider says, "Joss has told the studio that Sarah is his first choice followed by Charisma. Sarah expressed an interest, but the producers are more interested in Charisma because she is less well known."

This is bollocks. Trust me. I'm Scottish and the Daily Record is a Scottish tabloid and it often prints stuff like this and its always crap. Take it with a big bag of salt.

[Donnie Darko]

Sarah Michelle Gellar has already said she isn't right for the role.

[SolidRoar]

This is bollocks. Trust me. I'm Scottish and the Daily Record is a Scottish tabloid and it often prints stuff like this and its always crap. Take it with a big bag of salt.Well, it better be all crap. I can NEVER see Gellar as WW. :o

[ultimatefan]

If it´s true that Whedom is gonna make it, it´s more likely that it will be Gellar or Carpenter. Of the two, I think Carpenter looks more like Diana than Gellar. Connelly sounds like a good choice, but not sure she´ll want to work in another comic book movie. She never seemed to show much interest in "kickass chick" kinda roles.

[Spike_x1]

I use to be from the south and we say "y'all" alot. Maybe you are not from america? I know us american have a bad habit of fu$king up the english language.That's okay. It's just a pet-peeve of mine. Don't think anything of it.Personally, "Y'all" just sounds less gay than "you all".How do the words "you all" determine a sexual preference? :confused:

BTW...I thought the reason people write "I'll" instead of "I will" or "haven't" instead of "have not" is to save time?true.

[pimpernel]

You "restrained"? LOL!! That's like Hitler saying he's a moral man. You've managed to call me at least 1 name in just about every post you've made from the last 2 pages. You probably get banned if I didn't restrain myself by not engaging in your immature name calling game. You can't accept the fact that others have different opinions than yours. After 2 reminders from me, you still wouldn't listen.

Let us recap....it was you who first call me a moron because you didn't agree with my "sarcastic" assertion that an actress playing WW should keep the mystique by not having a kid already. I held back and used the "yo mama" route because it was the appropriate answer to your justification of why a "mama" actress should play WW and not a single actress because "she's not playing herself". Then you retreat to accusing me of bringing the maturity level of this board down and pat yourself on the back as victorious.

I'm sorry dude, but it is you who has been made a mockery of......and yes, you do give a dam because I said Jennifer is perfect as Wonder girl, just not WW. You can't weazel your way out like Goyer did with Blade/Trinity, this has always been about "people better accept you and your friends ideal WW choice or you'll call those who disagree a name".

Huh? Riiight. I'll just patiently try to point out again that i don't actually care if you agree with my choice or not... the ACTUAL reason i took you up on what you said was that you were being sexist and immature. If you re-read the posts you will see that i barely mentioned Connelly... in fact i used Jolie as an example mostly... i was just pointing out that it is dumb to dismiss ANY actress for ANY role based on their personal life. Feel free to twist that any way you like.

[hey yo its sean]

I still don't understand what the f**k this guy is talking about.

[pimpernel]

[Darko]

Tsianina Joelson would be a good candidate, so I'll throw her name out there. She's a former fitness model and martial artist. She had a recurring role as the Amazonian warrior Varia on Xena, and she was also in American Pie 2 and Bring It On. She's got the physicality and the sexuality to play WW.

Tsianina Joelson, huh? She certainly got the looks - and the right age I presume. How are her acting skills though?

[pimpernel]

I dunno if this means anything for WW... but i just read in Dreamwatch that Joss Whedon has shut down his TV company, Mutant Enemy... i'm guessing he plans to concentrate on movies.

And SolidRoar: not to p**s all over other peoples choices but the actors and actresses on Xena weren't exactly known for their acting talent. Dunno if they were all genuinely a wee bit crap or if they were just like that on Xena tho.

The two main characters and some of the supporting roles were great. Lucy Lawless, Renee O'Connor, Karl Urban to name a few. A lot of the Xena alumni have broken into Hollywood, thanks to movies being filmed in New Zealand.

Tsianna Joelsen was all right on Xena. Very strong-headed and tough. She certainly is fit and can handle action scenes. I say she should give Wondy a shot.

Let's start a campaign then and hope that WB would hear us! lol

[hey yo its sean]

This Tsianina girl is starting to grow on me..

[pimpernel]

See my concern with the casting ideas floating around here is the level of acting chops. Superhero movies these days feauture top-notch acting talent... yet for WW people seem content to cast actresses that have little or no acting chops purely cos they look hot. Thats bloody awful. May i remind you... Christian Bale, Eric Bana, Tobey Maguire, Ian Mckellan, Pat Stewart... the list goes on. Even crappy Catwoman tried to get an oscar-winner. Now i'm not sure about Routh as Superman, but at least he has the benefit of being chosen by an objective and highly skilled director, so he must have some talent going on.
Anyways this Tsianina Joelson is a case in point. Almost none of us have seen her act and her most famous role so far has been in Xena... a show notorious for its crappy acting... they cast the female roles based on looks rather than talent... for every Karl Urban thre is a Jennifer Sky... yet everyone seems to be throwing their support behind her anyways cos she is hot.
I don't want a really hot WW that can't act for toffee. I want a really hot WW that can own Bale and Bana and co on screen.
Personally i support Connelly but the best suggestion i've heard in the last few days is Moss. She looks the part and Memento proves she can act. I'm not preaching for sure that either of these women should get the part, but i AM saying that there are such actresses out there that look the part AND have the chops and i wish people would raise their standards a bit to the same level they would expect from a Batman movie or any other hero.

Wait, you didn'te let me finish.

After looking at her filmography I noticed that I have seen some of her movies, read her biography, and just now have seen about a couple dozen pictures from the time it took you to respond.;)

I remember her from "Bring It On" as well. She was the girl "with the ass that can form it's own website" LOL.

Tsianina OR NO ONE.:mad::up:

Try reading first, then make an honest attempt to comprehend before commenting. If you're still confused, ask nicely.

I have trouble understanding nonsensical posts, no matter how often I read it.

[Donnie Darko]

I don't really know anything about Tsianina's acting, but I hope people are taking that into account. She looks GREAT for the part and of all the "ideal" people, she would probably be most likely to take it. I've seen Bring It On, which really sucks, and I don't remember her from it. Anyways, if I find out she really can act and it's not just "she can act by fanboy standards who just want someone hot", then DAMN, she's good.

[SolidRoar]

That's why I asked about her acting. The fact that she played an Amazon warrior before is encouraging, too. Not to mention being an unknown - something I believe is as crucial for WW as it is for Superman. Remember that both WW and Supes don't wear masks - I don't wanna see familiar faces for their parts.

I hope they give Tsianina a chance. Fans should spread the word until it reaches WB. If the fans wanted her, I'm sure they'd let her audition.

[pimpernel]

Ahhh vendetta time again i see. OK i'll play along for a bit...

Didn't we already established that the immature one was you?

Maybe in your head we did. :rolleyes:

Oh my bad...you were too busy weazeling your way out you haven't had time to admit that all the unproductive immature name calling was done by you. .

I'm not trying to weasel my way out of anything. I call a spade a spade and a moron a moron. You act like one you get called one.
FYI a certain degree of ribbing is expected in places like this... you however were the one that decided to get all personal and call my mum a whore.

Regarding me being sexist....Weren't you the one who told me to take my morals to another thread all the while you have no problem pushing your sh%t on me? .

See you seem to have this problem understanding basic things. Let me re-explain for you. I never said morals are bad... i said that you can't go around dissing people and calling them whores just cos they don't meet your particular moral code... or at least the one you are pretending to have. You especially can't do that in a WW casting thread cos it is off-topic. I merely suggested that if it bugs you so much you should go and make a thread about somewhere more appropriate. That makes me sexist how?

Maybe in your little world or the "western" world, expecting women to have a certain kind of standard is considered sexist, but in other parts of the world it is not.

This is yet another example of you twisting things. I never said having standards was bad. I said that calling people whores cos they don't meet your personal standards is bad. I also said that an actress' personal life should have no bearing on the roles she plays.
And thats not why i called you sexist... i did that cos you said that actresses are whores if they a) have babies b) have had sex at some point in their lives, and c) wear less than a full-body boiler-suit all the time. Adn FYI i was not the only one to note that you are a sexist.

If you re-read the posts you will see that i barely mentioned Connelly... in fact i used Jolie as an example mostly...
You're right....which is why you almost lost your mind when I said Anjelina Jolie looked like a guy from the waist down and wouldn't be my pick for WW, not because she was a mother. See where this is going?

I almost lost my mind? LOL whatever man. I barely broke into a frown. I really don't give a rat's ass about Jolie, and i certainly don't care what you think of my choices.
And aye i do see where it is going... all twisty.

The thing you can't seem to or refuses to understand is that there are other people out there who don't agree with your views and morals..?

If thats true then why are you the only one i'm arguing with? I have no problem with other peoples' views and morals, but if they submit them to a public forum then i am entitled to give my opinion on them just like everyone else does. I think you will find if i don't agree with someones choice i say so and then let it be... which is what i expect from others also. Thats the whole point of a discussion board. Do i have my own ideas? Yes. Am i hitting people over the head to get them to agree with me? No. I say my mind and let them make up theirs. Again, thats no more than i expect from anyone else on a discussion board.

And BTW... you are the one that keeps bringing this back up after i've let it die.


Just cuz you enjoy seeing other peoples wife or mom run around in a bathing suit fighting crime and justify your perversion by saying "she's just playing a role", that's fine, I got no problem with that, but don't trip and call people names when they don't share your taste.?

So watching someone in a bathing suit is a perversion now? Wow. I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that 99.9% of the male population share my perversion, and a good few of the women too. There's nothing sexual or cheap about WW... she isn't wearing less than the average women does to go to the beach or whatever. If you are reading something overtly sexual or perverse into it then i guess that says more about your state of mind than anything else.
And again with the twisting... i didn't justify running around in a bathing suit (like that even needs justifying) by saying "its only a role." I justified ALL acting that way. I repeat... an actress' personal life should have no bearing on the roles she plays. Being someone's wife or mum has nothing whatsoever to do with it one way or the other. I think you'll find the vast majority of women are wives or mums or will be at some point. And the "pure" childless actresses' you are harping on about... they are gonna be mums some day too, so they shouldn't be allowed to run around in a bathing suit i guess... your rules... gee i guess that means NOBODY can play the role.
I also think you will find most kids would be over the bloody moon to have their mum play a superhero.

Anyways now i've proven you're full of shiet i'm done with this petty immature crap. It ends here. If you absolutely feel compelled to keep it going then i suggest you send me a PM before a mod notices you are being a **** and bans you.

Tsianina wasn't bad as Varia. And the whole "Xena is known for crappy acting" is pretty damn off.

Ted Raimi, Bruce Campbell...

Y'know i love ya really. :p

Didn't mean to diss the show but the acting IS pretty cheesy. Seriously i LOVE Cambell... he is a god... and Raimi, well he is a Raimi so gotta love him too... but they ARE notoriously cheesy actors. Sam Raimi has tried to get Campbell to star in everything from Darkman to the Phantom but he keeps getting vetoed by the execs cos of his acting. He is better than folks give him credit for but he IS a wee bit ropey with the more serious scenes. Xena was fairly tongue-in-cheek an the actors all worked great for that... but do you really think they could hold their own against Bale or McKellen or whoever?

I do love the show tho Batgirl so don't hit me. :o

[pimpernel]

I get what you're saying. That's why I asked about her acting. The fact that she played an Amazon warrior before is encouraging, too. Not to mention being an unknown - something I believe is as crucial for WW as it is for Superman. Remember that both WW and Supes don't wear masks - I don't wanna see familiar faces for their parts.

I hope they give Tsianina a chance. Fans should spread the word until it reaches WB. If the fans wanted her, I'm sure they'd let her audition.

The trouble is double standards. Unknown for a male means unknown ACTORS... but unknown for a female tends to mean "model trying to break into acting" and its not the same thing. Women get away with so much based purely on their looks. I favour Connelly but i do admit that if she doesn't get it an unknown would be better than 90% of the other names suggested... providing that unknown is held to the same standards that guys are held to.

Anyways looks like Whedon is gonna get it so expect to see Eliza bloody Dushku or someone like that as WW. :(

Carrie-Anne Moss, Catherine Zeta Jones and Monica Bellucci are all former models...

[Antonello Blueberry]

And speaking of former models, Jaime King who was once mentioned as being a candidate for the role of Diana, 25 years old and 5ft9, is someone to consider seriously...

Uhuh and those are the exceptions to the rule. For every one of those there is a Giselle or a Cindy Crawford. I'm not saying that a model can't do it, i'm just saying that with women they tend to favour looks and don't hold the acting chops to the same standards as they do with guys.

[Antonello Blueberry]

Monica still can't act...

[pimpernel]

Monica still can't act...

Based on what?

[pimpernel]

I saw yesterday someone suggested Carrie-Anne Moss. I kinda dismissed her before cos she seems all stiff in the Matrix, but she is really good in Memento and i googled here and she looks great in these...

... she looks a lot better for the role in all those. Not all slick like she was in Matrix. She kinda looks like the missing link between Lynda Carter and Jennifer Connelly.
And we know she can do the action easily too.

Gellar or Carpenter: Who's More Wonderful?

Posted by RT-News on Monday, Dec. 20, 2004, 02:38 PM

RT-News writes: "Either Sarah Michelle Gellar ("The Grudge") and Charisma Carpenter ("What Boys Like") may be going from slaying vampires to flinging a lasso. According to Teenhollywood.com, the "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" costars are in competition for the role of Wonder Woman after their former boss, Joss Whedon, took the directorial reins for the screen adaptation of the popular 1970s TV show.

I didn't see this posted anywhere. I know nothing about Wonder Woman and most of DC other than common knowledge. Not even clear on what her powers are. I think Charisma is too old. She lost her ultra-hotness a couple seasons into Angel and having that baby sure didn't help. Her playboy spread was underwhelming. Plus she's like a C-lister now.

SMG I can see, although there's the danger of people just seeing Buffy w/ brown hair instead of Wonder Woman. Pluse she's sort of petite. Very strong on action scenes however.

I definetly wouldn't cast either of them though. I'd definetly go for someone 25-ish.

[ultimatefan]

Well, preferences aside, TV Guide is also running the story that Whedom will write and direct WW, so it looks like the choices will indeed narrow down to Gellar and Carpenter...

[Antonello Blueberry]

Based on what?
On her movies? And I've seen movies with her you probably don't know a thing about...

[Donnie Darko]

I guess I'm probably the only one here that finds Carrie-Anne Moss unattractive

[Morg]

Buffy too short and am not crazy about Carpenter

[Donnie Darko]

Gellar has already said that she isn't right for the role and hasn't really expressed any interest in wanting it. And yeah, it has been covered a couple times already on the boards.

[dpm07]

I think people are assuming things just because these actresses have both worked with Whedon in the past. Actually, I don't think he will go with either candidate. The reason is that Whedon was not very happy about the way SMG pulled the plug on Buffy (Everyone heard about it in EW). Also, Charisma Carpenter burned bridges with Whedon in Angel. The two ladies that Whedon speaks consistently well of are Alyson Hannigan and Eliza Dushku. They have always gotten along well with Whedon, and it is obvious as both of their characters (Willow, and Faith, respectively) actually eclipsed the star (SMG) on her own show. Alyson is really wrong for the part (I like her, but just wrong for this part), and Eliza is the only other option. Eliza may have an outside chance. She definitely has the credentials. However, she is only 5'5, and that may rule against her. Based on Whedon's style, I can't really see him working with an actress who is a heavy A-lister. The reason is that Whedon's management style of directing may go against some A-list actresses styles of acting. Just my opinion, but these are the things I have noticed regarding Whedon and his methods.

[Morg]

Eliza is too short too, I want WW to be a bit tall like Lynda Carter dammit!

[dpm07]

I think Carrie Anne Moss is attractive or at least has been in the past. However, the birth of her child has definitely plumped her out more than she was in the Matrix Films, and may have hurt her stock. I think she might better well be suited for Hippolyta than for Diana.

Remember, Carrie is already 37. This is not someone you want to start a superhero franchise around at that age. Especially a female. I don't mean to sound sexist, but that's the way Hollywood operates.

Bridget Moynahan is one option to consider for Wonder Woman, but even she is a bit older at the age of 34.

The sad thing is that Hollywood is really lacking in finding a female who can justifiably pull off a Mediterranean Look, and/or has the height and physical presence and has the caliber of draw to pull in an audience. Now, one can say well Jennifer Garner wasn't Greek and she played Elektra. To this, I say true, but Elektra is not one of the Holy Trinity of DC's Universe, and isn't the popular cultural icon of feminism and female empowerment that Wonder Woman is.

Whoever the actress is, I don't see Whedon casting anyone who will ruffle his feathers or make demands. I think he saw how that went while working with SMG. I've mentioned Bridget Moynahan (who doesn't have a Greek Look), but there is also Izabella Scorupco (who is Polish, but also can pull off the look, IMO). Finally, I've mentioned Mandy Moore, who I really believe could do it. Granted, she's more the all-American type and not Greek, but physically she is an option, and can act.

I don't know how tall she is, but one actress that comes to mind is Elena Anaya of the Van Helsing films. She is clearly young enough at 29 years age, and if she is tall enough, could be a viable option, as her stock has not risen so high as to outplace her economically.

[dpm07]

I agree Morg. WW should definitely be taller. No shorter than 5'8 (w/o boots).

[GLfan]

My very first pick for Wonder Woman is Catherine-Zeta Jones. Remember The Mask of Zorro..........Visualize it..........she's perfect.

Maybe even Kelly Hu....

But not Sandra Bullock, Julia Roberts, etc. These are ridiculous to request!

WW needs to have an exotic look, long flowing black hair, tough but womanly....

Oh yeah and Lucy Lawless.....people let's stop livin' in the past!I heard they would want to go with Catherine as she's more known, some other lady wants the part but thinks Catherine will get it.

Elena Anaya is very cute, but she's probably 5ft6 and certainly not Wonder Woman material. Try to find "Lucia y el sexo (Sex and Lucia)" to see her and Paz Vega in all their naked beauty.

Uh... sorry don't think so. HUge MB fan. I got most of her foreign movies off eBay. She can act.

[pimpernel]

My Whedon idolisation will turn to downright hate if casts ANY of the actors that have thus far appeared in any of his shows.

[ultimatefan]

I never understood the idolization of Whedom to begin with. To me Buffy and Angel were passable at best. The tone is all over the place, the dialogue is often interchangeable, it goes cheesy and campy all the time...

Actually one of the things i meant to say in my Moss post is that i think she would be OK if she filled out a little. IMO WW should be a wee bit more curvy. I don't her plumpness as a problem. She would get in shape for the role obviously.
And i do wish people would stop saying that 37 is too old for the role. It isn't. Look at who these women (CAM, Connelly, Bellucci etc) are being cast opposite... Keanu Reeves, Guy Pearce, Rufus Sewell, Eric Bana... these are the guys that Hollywood considers to be in the same bracket as Bale and co, and he is roughly the age that Hollywood are setting their franchises at. Look at the recent rumours of Ben browder... he is almost 50. And Ryan Reynols is up for the YOUNGEST member of the JLA and he is 28. 37 is a good ahe for the role. And as i said with Connelly, Moss doesn't LOOK old, and thats the most important thing.

IMO Moynahan doesn't look like Wonder Woman... but if you like her kind of exotic lok then IMO Sarah Shahi would be a better choice.

And i'll say again... enough with the Wonder Woman must look mediterranean stuff... the amazons were from all over the place. There brunettes, redheads, blondes, olive skinned, dark skinned, pale... all types of amazons... go read the comics. And it is a moot point anyway cos WW is made from CLAY, so technically shouldn't have any kind of ethnic look one way or another.

[pimpernel]

I never understood the idolization of Whedom to begin with. To me Buffy and Angel were passable at best. The tone is all over the place, the dialogue is often interchangeable, it goes cheesy and campy all the time...

See my thing with Whedon is he does great drama. He is really good at what he has done so far but i don't think he can pull off the tone of a serious epic MOVIE unless he SERIOUSLY ups his game. He is way better than the woman that wrote BoP however, so i gotta give them that.
