mia kirshner would be great. she has a solid look and is a good actress.....plus she's relatively unknown.

Totally agree. I wish people would just get past the fact that she was on American Idol and judge her on her merits.....
Also, I want to add, Katharine comes from an athletic background--she took extensive dance classes as a child and still retains a lot of flexibility(go see the outtakes of the publicity shoot she did for the launch of the Crown Princess)and also swam competitively for her high school.
I just can't get past the fact that she is no longer an unkown and that she doesn't remind me of Wonder Woman.

^^ Well, no. She isn't an unknown. But considering the candidates like Lohan, Chopra, and maxim models......she seems a very plausible, and strong candidate. I mean. She doesn't remind you of Diana Carter? At all? She looks a LOT like her imo. Just look at these pics and compare Kat. http://i113.photobucket.com/albums/n203/mcmuffin_2006/WonderWomanface.jpg Diana http://i113.photobucket.com/albums/n203/mcmuffin_2006/Wonderwoman.jpg

IMO, you just hurt your own argument. He said that McPhee doesn't remind him of Wonder Woman. Then you post a pic comparing her to Linda Carter, not Wonder Woman. What if I was to post pics of actors who look like Adam West for Batman Begins? How ignorant would I look?

Again,

Jodi Lynn O'Keefe = Best candidate in the thread.
Give her prep and workout time to get to this again and there you have Wonder Woman.
I'm not saying no to McPhee because she was on Idol. I'm saying no because she can't act. And posting a picture of her next to Lynda Carter's Wonder Woman might have helped if they looked anything alike.
And FYI, Jodi is an actress, not a Maxim model. This pic happens to be from a Maxim photoshoot which many actresses pose for.
I also like the choice of Kirshner but I think she'd be a better Zatanna.

Her name is LINDA CARTER. Not Diana Carter. LOL. The actress is Linda Carter, and the hero is Diana Prince.
Anyway. Thanks to luvai for make a current poster of Kat. She's lost 30lbs during the course of AI, and these pictures speak for themselves. She DOES look like Linda Carter. And it IS important since Linda Carter also looks like the countless reversions of Wonder Woman on comic books. She's dark haired, tall enough, has acting experience, nominated for a prestigious acting award, and she's 22, which falls in the range of 16-24..which Joel Silver has confirmed to be looking for.
I think if one puts the AI stigma out of Kat..she does make a great candidate.
High Cheekbones..dark haired....almond shaped eyes......thin long lips......heart shaped face.......they look like mother and daughter.

Who called her Diana Carter? :confused:
And by the way, if you're going to correct the name, it's Lynda Carter, not Linda.
You're right the pictures do speak for themselves but they're not saying what you want to hear.
Age doesn't affect your range, your range depends on how you look and how well you can act.
Again I'm looking at it sans AI since I don't watch the show; I did happen to see Crazy, McPhee isn't that great, mediocre at best.
She's too short, she's only 5'8".
I can buy them being mother daughter but that doesn't mean she can pull off Wonder Woman.

straight from Joel Silver's mouth... they want to go for an unknown... someone who's face we haven't seen. But Katharine McPhee, though popular, should still be given a shot.

Hey there! I'm a newbie to the site but this was the first thread I wanted to weigh in on.
I've looked and I've looked but I didn't see anyone list Catherine Bell (J.A.G.) as a choice. True she's older than some would like (37), but she carries herself like Lynda Carter, gots the boomin' bod, and her British-Iranian heritage gives her a unique look. She's even got the smile!
As for some of the other choices, I could see Jody Lyn in the red and gold bustier. Monica is older but would give WW a hell of a run with her looks. Julie Strain would have been one of the only choices a few years back. Karen Cliche's eyes staring down Giganta......Yeow!
The biggest thing I have to consider is does she(whomever gets the roll) fill the roll like Lynda Carter did? Can I actually believe that she's WW?
Hal Jordan 8472
07-25-2006, 11:47 PM
Ya Bell is older than Bale... thats way too old for an origin story. Joel Silver said she would be really young. A girl becoming a woman pretty much.
Taylor Cole bears the strongest physical resemblence to Lynda Carter.

Like I've always said, Kat is pretty but she aint WW. She'd make a nice girlfriend/love interest type for a superhero though..
Joel Silver said WW would definately be someone we havent seen before. We've seen Kat everywhere recently thanks to AI......so why do you think theyll actually choose her?

Her name has been there for a few months now, but I take it with a grain of salt. However, like you, I hope it's true as well. Morena is by far my favourite of the names I've read mentioned for the part. Now if we were going with an older Wonder Woman ....

Just so you all know, IMDB.com is not always reliable with upcoming movies. Anyone who is a member can make a change in information on the site. So if you see something you like for an upcoming movie on the site, remember that it could be a fan supporting what they like or someone playing a joke; It's a possibility it's true but it hardly is for upcoming movies.

You're forgetting the most obvious choice for Wonder Woman
DEMI MOORE
Watch her in and tell me she can't fill out the "stars and garters" that Beast of X-Men is always talking about.
It's not a matter if she can fill them or not, more like she's too old and too short for the WW role. Any actress has to be at least 5'9"-5'10" and at least a large C/small DD. Just about anything else can be worked around....:)

I vote for Liv Tyler. She's not the biggest name in Hollywood, which is something that is usually a plus for the leading role of a superhero film, isn't it? Thats not my only reason, I just like her for the role.

She really doesn't look that great anymore. She's lost a lot of her looks ever since she popped out that kid a while back.

She's been on 2 and a Half Men as Charlie Scheen's girlfriend. She would b a good choice.

This is one area that everyone seems to be disregarding. Baccarrin is about 5'8"(and formerly the voice of Black Canary on JLU)and unless you are going to put her in 3-inch heeled boots or cast the entire movie with actors in the same range of height, is going to be a little short. Plus, whoever is cast is going to have to have the build of a fitness competitor out-of season, like a Torrie Wilson or April Hunter.

Adding a new name to the mix, did anybody catch the ASKMEN.com top 99 women for '06? One model/actress that made the list but can really still be considered an unknown is Vanessa Hessler (http://ca.askmen.com/women/celeb_profiles_actress/18_vanessa_hessler.html).
She comes across like a younger Rebecca Romijn or Natasha Henstridge. Vanessa is 5'11, blue eyed, and judging by her eyebrows, she isn't a natural blonde. :cool: :p

she’s a lil younger, then I would personally want for the role, but, they most likely are going to cast someone that young anyway. but, at least she doesn't look too younger for her age like most actress out they, she could pull off looking the right age.

hopefully this link works. it is a picture of her I had someone make, showing her as Wonder Woman.

if not just go to Melissawitek.com she posts tons of pics.
She was also recently on Treasurehunters so her contact info is on treasurehunters.com. She frequents the boards and answers questions so any directors feel free to visit. I highly recommend buying a copy of the pageant for $10 on ebay or getting the treasurehunters season if you want
to see her TV/stage presence.

Not sure if the pic worked. I'm new at this. I still say Melissa Witek although I like the Monica Dean choice if Miss Fl Gator doesn't get it.
She is 5'7 and already very athletic and in good shape. I agree 5'7 is a TAD but short BUT I always say the look and the carma is more important. 5'7 = 6'0 in the boots, and besides - the camera hides alot.
Everyone knows Hugh Jackman was way too tall to play Wolverine. Look how that worked out.

I agree 5'7 is a TAD but short BUT I always say the look and the carma is more important. 5'7 = 6'0 in the boots, and besides - the camera hides alot. No, the camera only does so much, the same for heels and boots. Moreover, it's a never-ending issue. Why go through the bother when you can just cast someone the right height to begin with? Much better to get it right at the start.
Most people—the general public too, not just comic fanboys—expect her to be very tall. It fits the character's description (she is a 5'11" Amazon, afterall) and, just as important, it creates a more imposing physical presence. Lynda Carter is 5'9" and she played Wonder Woman 30 years ago on television—they still kept her in heels all the time, btw—long before the WNBA and female tennis players averaging close to 6' in height.
I'm sorry, but 5'7" simply isn't "tall" in this context.
Everyone knows Hugh Jackman was way too tall to play Wolverine. Look how that worked out. I'm not sure you're helping your argument there. He was convincing kicking butt exactly because he was taller. I could be wrong here, but I think they knew this and it was more or less a conscious decision on their part to go taller. They suspected, it turns out correctly, that it would be difficult to sell someone 5'3" as being such a formidable character on screen, it may even look silly, and that it would be better to have someone taller in the role. Regardless, because it worked that way doesn't mean it will work going the other direction.

Just for you Bilson fans, here is a clip (http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=Rachel+Bilson+as+Wonder+Woman&search=Search) of that scene in that was aired on "The OC". According to Bob Gough (http://www.comicbookmovie.com/news/articles/2979.asp) over at ComicbookMovie.com this is probably "the first, last and only time you'll ever see Rachel Bilson as Wonder Woman". Based on the expression on her face and her behavior during that IESB interview, I am confinced that she actually did know about the (false) rumors about her and the Wonder Woman Project because she (and likely her publicist) made it up.

Paganus, I NEVER SAID 5'7 was tall. In fact, I said it was just "A TAD short." I feel it is adequate in my opinion (as do many here) if you have the right candidate.
Just where did you see ANYONE say 5'7 was tall?
Why not just start off with someone 5'10???? BECAUSE THE RIGHT CANDIDATE IS 5'7. Height is only one factor of many.
I am all for staying as consistent with the comic book as possible, and I am a HUGE WW fan (own all three seasons on recently released DVDs) BUT I have no doubt Melissa Witek would make a great wonder woman - better than most candidates mentioned here and/or in the media by far.
The only one I really liked here was Monica Dean and guess what? She is "only" 5'7 as well.
The face, hair, eyes, and body are far more important than absolute height. Also, the persons demeanor. I don't know monica dean but Melissa is assertive and self confident which is exactly what you need.
Guess what? If Lynda Carter was 5'9 (and was the best Wonder Woman anyone could ever imagine) then I'll take Melissa Witek at 5'7 or Monica Dean at 5'7. They may only be 5'7 but when you look at the person you say "oh my goodness, she looks like wonder woman!"

Paganus, I NEVER SAID 5'7 was tall. I said it was adequate in my opinion if you have the right candidate. I know exactly what you said. Wonder Woman needs to be "tall." Thus if 5'7" isn't "tall", it seems to me that would mean it isn't tall enough. Either way, we arrive at the same place, syntax aside. The fact that you think it might somehow be "adequate" also misses the point.
Why not just start off with someone 5'10???? BECAUSE THE RIGHT CANDIDATE IS 5'7. Height is only one factor of many. Let me explain my point by way of direct example: Candidates have been suggested who are right in every way (in fact, better), including the height. I'm sure there are many others we're not aware of as well. So, once again, why even talk about this? It seems like a waste of time to me.
I am all for staying as consistent with the comic book as possible, and I am a HUGE WW fan (own all three seasons on recently released DVDs) BUT I have no doubt Melissa Witek would make a great wonder woman - better than most candidates mentioned here and/or in the media by far. No, compared to some of the other candidates there's nothing that says she is the *best* (or even an especially good) pick for Wonder Woman. I certainly don't see enough of a difference in anything about her, compared with others, to justify overlooking the height.
The only one I really liked here was Monica Dean and guess what? She is only 5'7 as well. I'd suggest that you spend a little more time looking through this thread then.
The face, hair, eyes, and body are far more important than absolute height. Also, the persons demeanor. I don't know monica dean but Melissa is assertive and self confident which is exactly what you need. Okay, and I can name at least three candidates who have all that and the height.

She looks modestly athletic, but pretty slight too. She'd have to do some serious work in the gym (in her case especially so, just to make up for the lack of height):

5'7" is on the short side. Wonder Woman's statistic is 5'11", and she's often depicted as being taller, nearly as tall as Superman even without heels. It doesn't make sense to cast a 6'3" Superman and then go with a 5'7" Wonder Woman. She needs to look imposing, and height helps greatly with that.
You could maybe go slightly less than 5'8", but only if it's someone with a killer athletic bod (e.g., Jessica Biel or Missy Peregrym) who therefore still looks formidable. It's important that Wonder Woman is gorgeous and feminine; however, she really needs to look like she can take care of business too.
Anyway, my top pick for Wonder Woman is Jodi Lyn O'Keefe, a big girl with dark hair and blue eyes. She seems tailor-made for this to me:

http://www.blazinbeauties.com/images5/jodi_lyn_okeefe/jodi_lyn_okeefe_20.jpg
After that it would be Amelia Cooke:
http://img59.exs.cx/img59/5729/sksfhmapr2005ameliacooke0032tt.jpg
Both women are 5'10" and athletic, not to mention beautiful. Both can act, too.
Amelia Cooke looks GREAT but I don't like her for WW. She needs blue eyes in my opinion.
Katharine McPhee I love also but NOT NOT NOT as wonder woman. Whether she can act or not (don't know) she does not look like WW and does not have the right demeanor. Too soft. Lucy Lawless too harsh.
WW has to look like wonderwoman, be firm and solid YET compassionate, beautiful yet not too sexy. All of this Lynda Carter did and more.
NYTCasual72
09-15-2006, 08:49 PM
This is a great debate and it will probably be nobody here, but before we go further I have to say it's going to be tough even for the director. Lynda Carter set such a high bar in all aspects. Also, it is a very tough role to file and a tough movie to write.
I think everyone has some good ideas, and I dont mean to knock anyone. I mean, look at the poll. This is the first poll I ever remember where "other" was the winning category....and there were like 8 choices given!
I hope they do the part justice. moreso than any other movie, they better make a solid choice, not just the uncles nephew's next door neighbor or the girl who is sleeping with the director or whatever.
If they do, the movie will TANK. I.e. a Katherine McPhee WW would be a huge bust. I say this being a KP lover and thought she should have won AI far and away. Not a hater at all. She's just not Wonder Woman. No way, no how.

It's not just your suggestion, it's basically everyone on here who has suggested someone who has competed in a pageant because their pretty and their only validation is because Lynda Carter was a beauty queen. I'm saying, yes Lynda Carter was a beauty queen but unlike almost all of the beauty queens suggested, Carter had acting experience.

Exactly dude. IT IS A NEWS FLASH because NOBODY knows Lynda Carter was an actress before Wonder Woman. Nor does it matter. Lynda Carter IS wonder woman, remembered for NOTHING ELSE. Also, was she an actress before she was a BEAUTY QUEEN? You did not make that clear.
I say all this being a HUGE Lynda Carter and Wonder Woman fan. NOONE and I mean NOONE will be able to do Wonder Woman like she did which is why she is remembered and known for only that, and not her part in "The Dukes of Hazzard." She is a legend, along with Lou Ferrigno. They played the character like noone else could.
Maybe we're sick of people shooting down beauty queens just because they're beauty queens. The pageant contestants of today have to do a lot more than be pretty.
I doubt very seriously Lynda Carter had much of an acting career before, during, or after her pageant and/or wonder woman. sorry.

I´m sick of all of that. It´s funny the double standard of the boards. If someone suggested a male model or pop singer who never acted for Batman or Superman, the posters would be chasing the guy with a machette... But nobody has a problem if pornstars and playboy models and beauty queens are suggested for Wonder Woman... This role demands a real actress, like Supes or Bats.

If someone suggested a male model or pop singer who never acted for Batman or Superman, the posters would be chasing the guy with a machette... But nobody has a problem if pornstars and playboy models and beauty queens are suggested for Wonder Woman... This role demands a real actress, like Supes or Bats.
Your are agreeing with my statement, right?:ninja:

Maybe, but before Superman, he was more known as a soap opera actor.

I doubt very seriously Lynda Carter had much of an acting career before, during, or after her pageant and/or wonder woman. sorry.
She did have an acting career, but you're right. It wasnt much of one. One movie I'm aware of that she did before landing the role of Wonder Woman is a movie titled, "Bobbie Jo and the Outlaw".
Don't remember it? Don't worry. You're not the only one. It was one of those low budget AIP movies from the mid-to-late 70's. But it did have a few love scenes with Mrs. Carter that showed off that to die for body, which to be honest, was one of the reasons why I bought a DVD copy of it off of eBay. :yay:
Anyways, yeah. I agree that no one will ever touch the greatness Lynda Carter brought to the role. Much in the same way no one will ever touch the greatness that Chris Reeve brought to the role of Superman back in the late 70's.
My personal pick right now would have to be Morena Baccarin (if we're talking a 20-something WW). I've been more impressed with her acting out of the names that have been mentioned in the previous 5-10 pages of this thread. Alot of girls have the look, but it's the acting I'm far more concerned with. And with this movie, I doubt it will be easy for ANY actress to make this movie float.
Because if the character doesnt work, then this movie doesnt work (which can be very stressful for any unknown actress). And it's going to take alot more than just posing and looking pretty for this film to work. And out of the young actresses that have been mentioned, I think I would feel more comfortable with Morena as the lead than any of the names mentioned thus far. So yeah, she's Wonder Woman to me.

Hey gang,
New to the board so Hi to all. Some beautiful woman and great art on this thread so far. Anyone hear this rumor about Rachel Bilson supposedly landing the role.
http://www.pr-inside.com/the-o-c-star-rachel-bilson-is-reportedly-set-to-play-wonder-woman-in-the-new-r18553.htm
I don't know, she's a pretty gal but beyond attractiveness to me it has to be someone who looks convincing while she's kicking butt. Bilson doesn't look tough enough to me.
EDIT: Ok never mind just found the other thread mentioning and then debinking this. Whew! Its a shame as she might be to old if they want a mid 20s Wonder woman but Maria Grazia Cucinotta would have made a perfect one I think. She's got the bod and a tough ass stare and that beautiful Mediterranean look.
Here's a link to a great pic of her

Alot of girls have the look, but it's the acting I'm far more concerned with. I'm concerned with both actually, since I don't see why the two have to be mutually exclusive.
I've seen Morena act, and she seems like a fine young actress to me. But I've seen some of the others too, and I could say the same about them. And often there simply isn't enough data to tell very much, because as a rule many are young, relatively inexperienced actors. (I guess that's what auditions are for.)
It's more than just having the "look," too; it's also about having the kind of physical presence needed to be convincing as a formidable character. I can think of a lot of very good actors that I simply can't imagine—at least not without laughing—as Superman, no matter how great their performance might be.

Well, the acting edges out the "look" for me. But only slightly. Every actress can, and will bring something different with their interpretation of Wonder Woman. It's just a matter of Joss choosing who he thinks is right for his take on Wonder Woman. Again, it will, and rightfully should take much more than just another pretty face.

Yes, very hard indeed...
BTW on the IGN Website where they had the article on McPhee debunking rumors that said she was in the running, it said that Whedon's concept of his WW is a teenage-ish one:huh: :eek: ...like...WTF Whedon???????? We want Wonder WOMAN, not Wonder Stick-figure Girl.

I agree, its not just the look, which is key but so is the right take on the character. I got sick when I heard that rumor about Bilson because she would just not have made a tough looking Wonder Woman. Its hard because most of the younger hollywood women, while beautiful, aren't tough looking in my opinion. I love Alba and Biel but I just can't see them pulling this off.

No, but I've met Manuela Arcuri and Megan Gale that someone also suggested here. I missed Maria Grazia at a party at the Venice Film Festival last year.

I have to say the pics of seen i've Caterina, she does look stunning too. And Manuela Arcuri is another :wow: . I'm going to Rome in November to do some sightseeing but alas I'm sure these Italian beauties won't be on the tour.
Back on subject - has anybody mentioned Denise Quinones? She had a guest shot on Smallville and was in the Aquaman pilot and she pulled off the tough girl image rather well I thought.

Of course, the same can be said of all the other frail, elfin, and unathletic types being talked about.
I love Alba and Biel but I just can't see them pulling this off.Alba most definitely not—and she wouldn't be in the running anyway. Biel, however, I could picture pulling it off, and I wouldn't be too terribly disappointed if they went with her (not my first pick though). At least she has the athletic physique that would make her persuasive as a formidable character.

True. I could see Biel as WW alot more than I ever could Jessica Alba.
If Biel gets it, I wouldnt be too terribly upset. But like you, she wouldnt be my initial choice.
The more I look at Taylor Cole the more convincing she looks as Wonder Woman. She's a stunner. She's only an inch and a half shy of 5'10" so why not. I've never seen her act though. Never seen Summerland (reminds me of the Kings X song) either.
As for Jessica Biel, I love her but I won't be too disappointed. But they can choose a better actress.
I think Charisma Carpenter should give up her pursuit. She's too old.

jessica biel- no, shes pretty but looks nothing like ww face wise, and have u seen her act? or heard her voice? she has a deep voice. and whenever she tries to act tough she comes across as either sulky or butch. i don't think she should be considered. might as well get lindsey lohan, at least she looks more like ww...
maria c g- she doesn't look like ww either. and can she act w/o an accent?
taylor cole- ummm, not really sure on this one, shes pretty, could maybe pass as ww, but is she good at acting? & will she be able to beef up for the role? & also her eyes are really green, and thanks to SR, we all know how good colored contacts look on screen.
jennifer hawkins- i think shes soooo beautiful, & i guess she'd look like ww w/ black hair, but black hair doesn't always look good on blondes, so i'm not sure if that'd work. but if it did, u have the problem of can she act & can she learn how to speak w/o an australian accent! besides, shes really busy working as a spokesperson & model for lots of companies in australia.
evangeline lilly- pretty, good actress, but a bit too slight, & even tho she has the right coloring, doesn't look much like ww to me. plus u have the problem of getting her off that island...
