Official Wonder Woman Casting Suggestions [merged-13]

[jrpstarwars]

and i suppose you liked the honeymooners too? wtf? i really am at a loss... what the hell? we arent talking about casting a minority, were talking best actress for the part... i dont want charisma carpetner or buffy to play her either, they are WAY too white... but dude come on!

Best actress? Then go for Julia Roberts. An attractive, talented, tall, dark haired, 39 year old woman!

[Kebab gud]

SHUT UP!
shes to skinny weak and crappy!

[Warhammer]

Julia Roberts?

:confused: :dry: http://www.websmileys.com/sm/crazy/1261.gif

[Kevin Roegele]

I love the idea of casting an unknown.

[DrayvensCrow]

I agree....an unknown in this case makes for a more interesting movie. Using a big name actress isn't going to neccessarily make for a better movie. And Julia Roberts is about as believable as WW as is a talking penguin.

[batboy99]

Wow, blank woman. Yeah she would be great.dumbass,her names aiswarya rai,oh and did i mention she would be way hotter then julia roberts whos what 40?they said they are casting a young person not a person whos fourty

[Ultimate_Superman]

I like the idea of an unknown being casted as well I mean it worked for Routh. He was great as Superman and IMO carried the movie. I think they should have cast a better Lois however Rachel McAdams. But if it worked for him I think it would work for Wonder Woman cast an unknown then cast big around them.

Whoa, lets not get too excited. Ten Rouths couldn't have carried that Superman 1 + 2 remix with a Messiah complex. But casting an unknown, especially one that looks the part and has experience and casting big around the beats the heck ouf of Angelina Jolie playing Wondy.

I tell ya, say what you want about the actual movie (I ain't arguing in favor of it) but Routh WAS Superman. I just watched the dvd again and was so impressed by how he really personified the part. He looks and sounds just like Chris Reeve only has a better build for the physical look of the part.

As for WW, I say go unknown. The only people I could see in the role would be Monica Belluchi (but I think she's too old for the franchise) or Jessica Biel (she's got the build, just don't know about the acting ability necessary to bring the amazon princess to life). There's no one else I can think of that would do the part justice.
IMO she needs to be
a)tall and athletic (not tall and lanky like Angelina before anyone says it!)
b)be Greek or Italian or some other nationality so she's not whitebread American girl ala Lynda Carter (who I loved as a kid and is beautiful, but not the Greek goddess that WW is supposed to be)
c) breathtakingly gorgeous - simple as that
d)have good acting skills

Maybe not necessarily in that order but then order doesn't really matter because I think she needs all those things! To sum up - Monica Bellucci 20 years younger with Biel's body would be deadon perfect as WW!

[jrpstarwars]

I think so. She has a thunder thigh problem there though.

I think Wonder Woman should be a bit more attractive. This woman is not an option in any universe.

Excuse me, But I thought Routh did an outstanding job as THE MAN OF STEEL .

[JackBauer]

This film is F***ED!!! The JLA is F***ED!!! Comic book movies in general are F***ED!!!

Whedon as director!?!?! WTF!?!?! This Bollywood chick as Wonder Woman !?!?! This film is going to fail. The Justice League will never come to be! The Apocalypse is near... :csad:

right... and only Julia Roberts can save us from it. :whatever:

I know he is an inexperienced film director who has done nothing even remotely close to what Wonder Woman needs to be.

and Peter Jackson had never done anything even resembling Lord of the Rings before.

Then they should call it Wonder Girl.

Nice pick, not going to happen though. Next.....

Thanks, that is what I am looking for. Acknowledgement that it is a could choice. I know it will not happen because it is right and would bring me a small bit of joy in this world. Of course it won't happen.:whatever:

[DrayvensCrow]

Thanks, that is what I am looking for. Acknowledgement that it is a could choice.

Had you not brought up Julia Roberts a while back....:whatever: But hey, that's why we're here: to give our opinions.:woot: I don't think any of us are ever going to be sought by Hollywood for our casting choices. LOL

I know one of them is becoming a woman, but casting both of them for Wonder Woman is really a stretch.

[DrayvensCrow]

Oy, that was a good one!:woot:

[jrpstarwars]

I know one of them is becoming a woman, but casting both of them for Wonder Woman is really a stretch.

Are you serious!?! I was using them as a reference as to how possible it is to get a motion picture made. If they were able to get a trilogy from an idea as radical as the Matrix was then surely anyone can get a JLA movie made if they put their mind to it.

http://www.newsfinder.org/images/uploads/uploads/larry&andy.jpg

[Kebab gud]

idea as radical as the Matrix?? wow radical dud!

the matrix was nothing more then a live action Japanese anime movie ..

[DrayvensCrow]

OK, that's just uncalled for!

[DrayvensCrow]

Sorry for double posting, but I think I've got an idea for how to settle this whole thing. I had mentioned in a previous post that a few years back, there was a site where you could vote on who you wanted to be WW. They had set it up like a tournament. What I'm proposing is along the same lines but since I don't have the money or knowhow to set up a web site, I figure it could be done here if everyone is game for it. Comments?????

[Red Mask]

She's not that young anymore...

[Katsuro]

I know he is an inexperienced film director who has done nothing even remotely close to what Wonder Woman needs to be.

Psh, yeah. Silly Whedon has no idea about creating strong female heroines... And fantasy? Yeah, i'd like to see Whedon try to make anything remotley fantasy. Psh. </sarcasm>

[terry78]

Weisz is only 5'7, but that's what platforms and CG is for. I think she's a good enough actress, and obviously though she looks cute in some flicks, with the right makeup, as seen below....

[Dope Nose]

nice choice. she could definitely fill out the costume.

[Fused]

I'd be down with that. Easy on the eyes. Seasoned actress. Knows how to do the CG Action development style films. Good resume for a WW flick.

[Kebab gud]

the problem with her is that she's too skinny...
Wonder Woman issent skinny

[terry78]

^She's not a bodybuilder either. Most comic book live action movies don't make the hero as bulky as they are in the book.

[Kebab gud]

ture.. but i think Joss will makeshure that Wondy has visible strength..
remeber .. he has a thing for stong female characters.. and this time.. he is working on one that is literally stong

[Eddie Dean]

I could see Rachel Weisz.

[Majik1387]

Rachel Weisz doesn't have the right face for Wonder Woman.

[DonnaTroy84]

I agree. She's gorgeous, and has a great figure, but her face is nowhere near Diana. Personally, i think part of it is because to me, she looks like she has a real "baby face", where Diana has a very mature face. Not old, but... wise, i guess. meh, i can't think of a better word. Anyway, I definitely think they should find an unknown, but of the poll choices (if you don't count 'other') I think Jennifer Connelly is the closest. She's got the longer face, good figure... they'd have to do her makeup right, tho. Cuz i've seen some pictures where she looks great, and others... whoa.

[Majik1387]

^She's also too baby faced for Catwoman.

[batbat_29640]

^She's also too baby faced for Catwoman. Nah I don't think so. Just my opinion. But the top pick looks like Selina Kyle to me and she has that Julie Newmar quality to her. That and I think she has a great voice that would compliment Catwoman.

[batboy99]

i wouldnt mind her for catwoman

[Comic Book Boy]

Jennifer Connelly...No battle.
She has the personality and the looks.
She would be the iconic Wonder Woman.

[Majik1387]

Jennifer Connelly would be the perfect choice for Wonder Woman.:up::up:
Too bad we're supposed to be getting a younger unknown/lesser known.

[Bullseye]

I like Connelly for the role as well.

[Kebab gud]

Can some one give Morena Baccarin blue eyes.. i just want to have alook

Yeah man!! I still want to see her as WW. More than I want to see anyone as WW>

[jrpstarwars]

When it's all said and done 99.9% of the choices people think should play her will be wrong. The truth is that none of us will ever get to see 'their Wonder Woman' but will just have to settle for... a black Wonder Woman.:(

[jrpstarwars]

http://www.hollywoodtuna.com/images/bigimages/Eva_Longoria_bikini_big.jpg

I could definitely see her as Woonder Wooman.

[jrpstarwars]

She's not that young anymore...

Dude, she's only 33. That's not old and it is the perfect age for Wonder Woman. How old are you, 19?

According to an insider who confided EXCLUSIVELY to the Comic Reel, actress Blythe Metz was asked by "interested parties" at the studio to create a short c;ip showcasing her martial arts (http://www.comicbookresources.com/news/newsitem.cgi?id=9219#) abilities ... with interest in casting her as Themiscira's finest. The results can be seen in a video clip at a specially created MySpace page (http://www.myspace.com/wonderwoman2007), which also shows production stills from the project.

Ha...actually enjoyed her little video clip. She wouldn't be half bad as WW at all considering how raw and simply choreographed that was. I've seen worse suggestions that's for sure. Thanks for posting.

She looks like a cross between Kate Beckinsale and Lauren Graham.

yeah she looks good in that one.

I'm sure she submitted it - its whether she was asked to submit is what I doubt.

Edit: Also some nice ones on her website too. http://www.blythemetz.com/photos.html

[cujo66]

I haven't gone to the myspace link to check it out, but I think I've seen it before, months ago. There were some articles on line about her and how she wanted the part so bad that she made that movie in hopes of getting the part, it was on youtube I think also. I'm talking last summer.

[DrayvensCrow]

Re: Blythe Metz-Not a large amount of films, but most of them are of the B-Horror variety if I remember right. Clip was OK, but if you're gonna submit a clip like that, I think it would be better if it didn't look so staged. She has a demo tape of what she's done so far at her site. I saw a recent interview with her in Sirens Of Cinema, and they didn't say anything about her being interested in WW.....

Re: Megan Fox- was in "Mean Girls" if I remember right( I didn't watch it, just saw it was by her name), was one of the choices for Mary Marvel over at marvelfamily.com. I can't recall having seen her in anything.

[DrayvensCrow]

Yeah I saw Chyna, she got fat and drunk.

OK, jpr....Once again you haven't done your homework. Yes, while on The Surreal Life she drank waaaay too much and she hasn't really been in her best shape(Though she is still in better shape than most women) since she tried singing(THE PAIN!:wow: THE HORROR!:wow: ), but she hasn't gotten fat. She had straightened her life up and she's making it.

Megan Fox wasn't in "Mean Girls". That might have been Lacey Chabert.

Megan Fox was in the other Lohan movie, Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen.

Definitely, just like Singer's Superman cast (not one of those actors looks like their comic book counterpart--it's a 200 million dollar fan film full of cheap knock-offs) and that's what this woman looks like. Baccarin, Monica Dean, and even Taylor Cole are far superior.

Wonder Woman
(character sketch by John Byrne)

Someone suggested this one over at The Planet. She's Miss Scotland/Miss United Kingdom 2006, Nicola McLean. Nicola is 22 years old and almost 5'11" tall. My opinion is that she looks like a John Byrne version of Wonder Woman. I'm sure there are those of you who don't like skinny models as candidates, but she looks perfectly alright to me. She may need to take some acting lessons and possibly change her name since there is already someone with that name in the industry. What you think?

[Upper_Krust]

Hi all! :yay:

Okay I haven't read through the entire thread, I'm guessing someone may have posted this before but just incase they haven't...

Watch the following television advert and you will see the PERFECT Wonder Woman, I kid you not. :heart:

http://tomztoyz.blogspot.com/2006/12/sexy-foreign-dc-superheroes-tv.html#links

By the way her name is Pamela David if you want to search her out.

[Dope Nose]

can she act?

[porotoparker]

Pamela David has made erotic movies and tv shows for the latin american playboy channel. She is very good acting in comedy, but not in other areas. And if you want to suggest her for Wonder Woman, she cant do it right now because she is pregnant. But she is a beatiful woman wihtout any doubt, and she is very known here in Argentina.

[jrpstarwars]

No it's not Julia Roberts, sadly.:csad: I am kind of serious about this and if I can not get one other person to agree with me on Julia Roberts as Wonder Woman then I would just be fighting a losing cause.

I will have to use Ms. Roberts for Wonder Woman when I return to my domain. In the meantime, my newest selection should garnish some serious consideration as well as the rest of my choices.

Julia Roberts is having another kid, maybe she could be Wonder Woman.

[Upper_Krust]

Hi porotoparker! :)

Pamela David has made erotic movies and tv shows for the latin american playboy channel.

:wow:

Well you have to wonder would DC use a porn star in the role - I really can't see it. I don't think such a person would be seen as an appropriate role model for young girls/women.

Which is a pity, shes a very lovely girl and looks perfect. :csad:

She is very good acting in comedy, but not in other areas. And if you want to suggest her for Wonder Woman, she cant do it right now because she is pregnant.

Well good luck to Miss David.

But she is a beatiful woman wihtout any doubt, and she is very known here in Argentina.

Shes a gorgeous girl with the perfect look.

The voluptuous nature of Wonder Woman dictates that they must cast someone sexy in the lead role.

A lot of the girls touted in this thread are pretty and/or even beautiful, but very few of them are also inherently 'sexy'.

I think the phrase 'sex sells' is of paramount importance to Wonder Woman, because its a female lead trying to sell primarily an action/adventure movie where the key demographic is males 13-35.

[superhero_mania]

Go Chatrine Zeta-jones
She Sooooo Suites The Role Of Wonder Woman!!

[gamemiester]

wonder woman should be played by a white woman like she is meant to be

[Kebab gud]

NO .. WonderWoman should be played ba a greek actress like she is ment to be..

[Seth71]

I don't think so. Throughout the history of film many ethinc characters were played by white actors and no one has complained about it. Cleopatra was an Egyptian queen and I can not think of one time where she was actually played by an Egyptian actress in a major motion picture. I can recall Claudette Colbert and Elizabeth taylor playing the in the role at different times (Colbert was French and Taylor was American, both were white). I can also remember Joey Bishop playing a Native American in the film "Texas Across the River" in 1966, and Ben Kingsley playing Mohandas K. Gandhi in the film by the same name back in 1982. Nobody complained about that. But when someone wants to entertain the notion of a person of color playing a character who appeared to be white in the comic books, thats when people start complaining that it is out of character. Nobody brought up the issue of ethnicity as being important in these intances, but a number of you are now. I find that quite the double standard and out and out racism, dontcha think?.

Never heard more truthful words on these boards.
And then people always say it’s not about race. Yeah right.
Even with Wonder Woman, who is a character that is expressly said to be Greek, most people still want a northern European and or Arian actress. This type of people are probably the same ignorant kind that thought Bruce Lee was too Asian looking to play an Asian character in Kung Fu and had Carradine with some ridiculous make up instead. This makes me sick!

P.S. For those saying this doesn't happen in today's Hollywood, just check Troy, Alexander, Gladiator and all the latest sand and sandals movies. It still much the same. Full of people like this out there:
wonder woman should be played by a white woman like she is meant to be
who can't see an inch beyond their own prejudicious noses.

Her as Wonder Woman??? No Invisible Jet??? No blue star spangled panties??? Uuuhhh... does Joss know this is Wonder Woman he is making because this movie I am reading about smells like a steaming pile of dog *****.

[DonnaTroy84]

I agree that it would be wonderful to have a real Greek actress playing Diana, but to be fair, Diana Prince does pass as a (forgive this) "mild-mannered" American woman. And while I don't believe that there's anything wrong with black heroes, Wonder Woman is quite obviously not black. I'm not sure, maybe the woman pictured above would be able to seem like an exotic Amazon when in WW costume, then blend into the crowd as Diana. But I just don't see her in the role. ((Also, for me personally, it's not just a one-way issue. I would have just as big a problem if they tried to have a white guy play GL John Stewart.))

Wonder Woman should be played by a greek actress such as Nia Vardalos from MY BIG FAT GREEK WEDDING. She is gorgeous and ten times better looking than any bollywood actress or Kristen Bell. I mean - look she is a beautiful looking amazonian woman and would be perfect. Everybody thinks she is hot as well:

NO SHE'S DUMB AND UGLY.


It should be Lucy Lawless

[Manic]

I agree that it would be wonderful to have a real Greek actress playing Diana, but to be fair, Diana Prince does pass as a (forgive this) "mild-mannered" American woman. And while I don't believe that there's anything wrong with black heroes, Wonder Woman is quite obviously not black.
1) the phrase "mild-mannered American woman" applies to black (as well as other races of) women as well. If you mean "caucasian" just say "caucasian." Seriously, I'm going to slap the next person who uses a phrase akin to "regular American" to exclusively describe white people.
2) The actress is Indian, not black.

I apologize for that earlier part, it *was* worded really badly. (hence the "forgive this" disclaimer, i couldn't think of any other way to put it at the time) I didn't mean to sound so excluding. I was trying to say that when she's not in costume, you can't tell that she's from an island of Amazons, or an ancient Greek culture, or any foreign culture for that matter.

As for the second comment, I guess that came out wrong too. I wasn't saying that the actress above was black, I was responding to an earlier comment about how no one gets upset when white actresses play ethnic roles, so it shouldn't be a big deal if it goes the other way.

Again, I'm sorry for any misunderstanding, I was just trying to say that Diana is not so exotic that she attracts attention to herself when she's in her civil persona. That's all. And, once again, I could be wrong, and maybe someone that seems too "ethnic" to some people would turn out perfect for the role. I just don't know. I just wanted to express my opinion.

Go Chatrine Zeta-jones
She Sooooo Suites The Role Of Wonder Woman!!

Maybe when she was younger, but she's pretty old now. She's beautiful for her age, but's like almost 37 now. That's old enough to be a grandma or have a kid in college. Not the image I think of when I think of Wonder Woman. Still, in her prime, she would have had the physicality to do it. That time for her, like other actressses, Jennifer Connelly, or Monica Bellucci has long passed. Let's see a fresh actress in her prime get the role. Someone who will do the role justice, and make us proud. Someone who's career is on the rise.

[CLARKY]

I've seen hundreds and hundreds of women on this thread and, physically, I stuck with my own choice : Ali Landry.

Holy crap. And I thought all those Jessica Biel (or whoever was on the cover of Esquire, FHM, or Maxim at the time) suggestions were bad.

Chyna is too manly to be WW. Plastic surgery has helped her looks, but she's NOWHERE near what WW should be. Not to mention that she's a "wrestler slash actress" who never made it after she ditched the WWE, and has been spiralling downward ever since. BTW, she has a dick (or rather an EXTREMELY big clitoris that looks like a dick). I'm NOT kidding.

http://www.rotten.com/library/bio/sports/chyna/

:wow: Do not click that link if you're squeamish.

Nia Vardalos...Yeah, because everyone wants to see a WW who will be a couple years short of 50 by the time this movie gets made. :whatever:

[ClarkLuther55]

I don't think so. Throughout the history of film many ethinc characters were played by white actors and no one has complained about it. Cleopatra was an Egyptian queen and I can not think of one time where she was actually played by an Egyptian actress in a major motion picture. I can recall Claudette Colbert and Elizabeth taylor playing the in the role at different times (Colbert was French and Taylor was American, both were white). I can also remember Joey Bishop playing a Native American in the film "Texas Across the River" in 1966, and Ben Kingsley playing Mohandas K. Gandhi in the film by the same name back in 1982. Nobody complained about that. But when someone wants to entertain the notion of a person of color playing a character who appeared to be white in the comic books, thats when people start complaining that it is out of character. Nobody brought up the issue of ethnicity as being important in these intances, but a number of you are now. I find that quite the double standard and out and out racism, dontcha think?.

What?! You have things backwards.

White actors played every ethnic character back then because Hollywood was racist, or at least didn't offer very much opportunities to non-white actors. People accepted that because they were also racist.

Back then it was considered OK for a white actor to tape up his eyes into slants, stick out his front teeth, put on a phony accent, and pretend to be Asian. It was OK for obviously white actors to play Mexican or Native American characters. Nowadays, it looks silly and stupid. White actors should not have played those characters, so it's not helping things if you try to "equalize" things by making stupid casting decisions and putting non-whites in white roles.

BTW, as others have pointed out, Cleopatra wasn't ethnic Egyptian. Ben Kingsley, who played Ghandi, was also half Indian.

Wonder Woman is white, and should be played by a white actress.

Ultimately, I would say that it's not even about race, but looks. IF there was a non-white actress who could pass for white and wouldn't make people go "wtf?", then allow her to try out for the part. But there aren't that many actresses like that out there.

[Kebab gud]

Wonder Woman is greek and should be playd by a greek or somone who looks greek..

[ClarkLuther55]

Wonder Woman is greek and should be playd by a greek or somone who looks greek..

Last time I checked, Greek is white. Greeks don't look so much different from other whites that a non-Greek white person could not reasonably play her. Like I said, the important thing is the appearance of the person.

Anyway, WW was formed from magical clay and looks pretty white to me.

[GL1]

Wonder Woman is greek and should be playd by a greek or somone who looks greek..

Obviously, the actress for Wonder Woman should look Greek... after that, who cares what her actual race is? Furthermore, this Indian chick can pass for Greek (though some actual greeks may disagree).

The fact is, Wonder Woman will likely be played by a white actress who does NOT look greek, but that would be more acceptable than an Indian girl who looks greek playing Wondy, right?

[Manic]

Where are all the half-white/half-Latina actesses, these days? Back in the day, you couldn't turn on the TV or watch a movie without bumping into one. Daisy Duke, Raquel Welch, and Lynda "Wonder Woman" Carter herself.

an ethnic greek and an ethnic swed look nothing alike .. yet both are "white"

the fact is if Joss wants to be as true to the comics as he says .. he WILL look for an actress who is greek or whould pass for greek

I don't agree... I think he will look for a woman who can pass for Diana, and that any lack of Greekness could be explained in a single line of dialogue about Themiscira (it could be taken from actual history books, since actual Amazons weren't Greek... of course, they also amputated one of their breasts...)

Was racist? What do you mean by that? Hollywood is still the racist, sexist, money grabbing machine it has always been. BTW, Wonder Woman is not Greek since Amazons are not Greek. There are some who argue that the Amazons may have historically originated from North Africa and maybe even India. For that matter, Wonder Woman isn't even human since her origins aren't that of any normal human beings. Wonder Woman only appears white because insensitive people like you wouldn't buy the comic if she wasn't. Let's not get that twisted.

The character appears white, and has ALWAYS appeared white. This is not about race, this is about staying true to the comics. I don't even care if an actress is white. Lynda Carter looked the part, even though she was part Mexican. I only care about the character looking the same as she has always appeared.

Bush to play Wonder Woman?
Posted : January 7, 2007</B> Writer : Clint Morris

http://www.moviehole.net/img/sophiabush.jpgIf she’s not trying to ride her own pony or increase her rank at IMDBPro, Sophia Bush may indeed be our first ‘official’ contender for the role of “Wonder Woman” in Joss Whedon’s super-spiffy big-screen redo. Well, at least this rumour sounds like it’s got some meat to accompany its vegies, anyway.
IESB.net (http://www.iesb.net/) says they recently recieved a tip suggesting that the “One Tree Hill” star – soon to feature in the unnecessary remake of “The Hitcher” - is up for the role of the Amazonian Princess in Warner’s tentpoler.
This past week, they had the chance to ask Bush - you may remember, she was the girl that was fired a couple of weeks into "Terminator 3" and replaced by Claire Danes - about the rumours (that they had decided not to print, until they had investigated further).
According to the site, Bush didn’t deny the rumours at all, simply meshing a “Maybe” with a smile.

Sounds to me like – well, unless she’s yanking her own chain, as I said – like Whedon may have set his sights on a girly for the lead role. She is, after all, the perfect age for the role and just enough of a fresh face, which is what the writer/director’s been chasing.
Charisma Carpenter, Morena Baccarin and Jessica Biel were also said to be in the running.

Long ways off, but sounds like you can officially push Bush’s name to the top of the contender list.

http://www.moviehole.net/news/20070107_bush_to_play_wonder_woman.html

Gee, I hope not. I had my heart set on Morena Baccarin.

[I Am The Knight]

Sophia Bush is hot. But I'm not sure she could end up being WW. I mean it's a huge role.


Hmm...Well, Routh pulled it off.....

[dnno1]

Where did I say that Hollywood isn't still prejudiced? I simply pointed out that the old Hollywood was racist, and stupid crap like casting white actors in blatantly non-white roles wouldn't fly today.

The fact that you say was implies that they are no longer racist, but that is far from the truth. Hollywood is still racist and you can't try to assuage the condition by using the term prejudice. That is only another word to describe the actions of a racist in disregard for those whom they oppress. Don't be naive by saying that casting white actors in blatantly non-white role is stupid crap and wouldn't fly today because it does. Just recently Hollywood made films like "Honey" and "Step Up" are perfect examples of that.

I'm racially insensitive now, and wouldn't accept a character if she wasn't created white? :whatever: I'M NOT EVEN FREAKING WHITE. Know what the hell you're talking about before you start throwing around accusations of racism.

Based on some of the statements that you have made thus far you could be. If you want to portray yourself as consciouses and tolerant you should be more careful of your choice of words.

The character appears white, and has ALWAYS appeared white. This is not about race, this is about staying true to the comics. I don't even care if an actress is white. Lynda Carter looked the part, even though she was part Mexican. I only care about the character looking the same as she has always appeared.

So if the actress looks the part then she should be allowed to at least sit for it regardless of what race or nationality she comes from, right? I don't see why actresses like Priyanka Chopra or Ashwaraiya Rai wouldn't qualify.

[Honey Vibe]

Wow. Looks like Wonder Woman is heading for a bomb.

[Manic]

I've never seen her perform, so all I have to go on are her looks.

She ain't bad, visually.

[ImperfectIcon]

Yeah she looks nice. Height would be a problem though, that is if we and in particular the people making this movie decide to keep to or be close to the specs of WW in the comics.

[ClarkLuther55]

The fact that you say was implies that they are no longer racist, but that is far from the truth.

BS. Take this scenario:

A man tries to dunk a basketball, but can't make it because he's only 5'10. Somebody says "he couldn't dunk because he was too short." That doesn't mean that person means that later, the man is NOT too short. You're just pulling stupid semantics games to cover your ass over the fact that you were jumping to conclusions about what I said. :whatever:

Don't be naive by saying that casting white actors in blatantly non-white role is stupid crap and wouldn't fly today because it does. Just recently Hollywood made films like "Honey" and "Step Up" are perfect examples of that.

Oh, there are still actors who play characters different from their roles. It's FAR less blatant and common nowadays though.

Based on some of the statements that you have made thus far you could be. If you want to portray yourself as consciouses and tolerant you should be more careful of your choice of words.

You know what, screw you. You're pulling crap out of thin air and labeling me as a racist, just because I want an actress who looks the way WW has always been portrayed. You have NOTHING on which to base your statements that I would not have accepted WW if she wasn't created white. Completely ridiculous, since I'm not even white. :whatever:

If WW was created and has always been portrayed as another ethnicity, then I would want a similar looking actress to play her.

So if the actress looks the part then she should be allowed to at least sit for it regardless of what race or nationality she comes from, right? I don't see why actresses like Priyanka Chopra or Ashwaraiya Rai wouldn't qualify.

That's your opinion. Most people can clearly see these women are Indian, and it would be a bit strange seeing as how WW is white.

[ClarkLuther55]

Let's be honest: Hollywood still thinks it's okay for white people to play Mexicans. Remember Zorro? Anthony Hopkins? Catherine Zeta-Jones? The F were they smoking?

Hopkins and Zeta-Jones' characters were supposed to be Spanish nobility, so it's not quite the same thing.

I wish you would make up scenarios that match what your original point was. In your post (http://www.superherohype.com/forums/showthread.php?p=10907865#post10907865) you made the following statement:

...White actors played every ethnic character back then because Hollywood was racist, or at least didn't offer very much opportunities to non-white actors. People accepted that because they were also racist...

Saying that Hollywood was racist implies that they are no longer racist, which is incorrect. Trying to draw the conclusion that a person couldn't dunk because he was too short even though he was taller than the average male is a poor corelation to what you stated in your previous post. A better corelation would have been to say that the previous season the 5'10" player was on a squad who's team mates were all over 6' tall and this season the squad is all under 5'11". Then you could make a statement like he played guard last season because he was the shortest guy on the team. This would imply that this season he is not the shortest and is more apropos to your statement. I'm not pulling stupid semantics here, I'm just bringing out the point that you claim is erroneous.



Oh, there are still actors who play characters different from their roles. It's FAR less blatant and common nowadays though...

Mel Gibson, Michael Richards, Regis Philbin... Do you want me to name more? Its one thing to want an actress who looks like Wonder Woman, but to blatantly say she's got to be white like you did when there are plenty of actresses out there who are not that could still pass for the character's appearance is actually taking a racial preferance. That's by definition racism and you do not have to be white to be that (I don't event think the definition specifies that).

If WW was created and has always been portrayed as another ethnicity, then I would want a similar looking actress to play her.

I am still not convinced that you would have bought here comic nor would have cared.

That's your opinion. Most people can clearly see these women are Indian, and it would be a bit strange seeing as how WW is white.

The only way I could tell that they could possibly be indian was by the way they dressed in some of their photos (very traditional). Otherwise someone could have told me they (Chopra and Rai) were of a different ethinicity and I would have believed them. I really think that there are a number of you readers out there that are really upset because someone outside of the US and Europe is being suggested.

[ClarkLuther55]

Shure it does else you would replace "was" with "is". I think that's kind of cut and dry.

"Shure" it does?:whatever:

You're an idiot. "Was" is past tense, used when you're talking about things in the past. When talking about Hollywood decades ago, you DON'T use present tense. Past tense does NOT automatically mean that the present conditions are the opposite.

Yes, "was" is a past tense verb that is used when some event or some state that occured in the past has changed. In some cases it implies that ones state is not that way anymore and there is only one other state it can be in (which is the opposite). Saying that Hollywood was racist at one point in time implies that it is no longer racist now (in the present). I have been trying to tell you that that is not true. There is still racisim (as well as sexism) in Hollywood today so using was is kind of misleading and incorrect. I don't know how many times I am going to have to repeat myself but I guess when you are dealing with people who are either in denial or are learning challenged I guess it is difficult.

[Max Shrek]

Not my first choice, but I'd go with it.

End of debate, concession accepted. This is NOT one of those cases.

I'm done arguing with you, moron. I can safely say that you're one of the stranger people I've communicated with recently, and I won't even respond to your next post on this stupid side topic in this thread.

"Hollywood was racist" implies that it is not racist now. That is one of the cases. Unfortunately for you that statement ("Hollwood was racist") is not true and thus my point. I think you are just being in denial because I don't want to think of the other alternative.

[Manic]

Dear god, both of you get ahold of yourselves. You're arguing over the semantics of using the word "was."

We're all agreed that Hollywood is still racist. Leave it at that.

[WonderWitch]

ahhhhh!!!!! this is so dumb!!!! but strangely i must put in my 2 cents....

ww has always looked white, so she should be played by an actress who looks white (as long as she can pull it off,etc,etc), and this is not racist b/c you're just trying to bring a comic to life and make sure ww looks like the ww we've always known, and anyone who says that wanting an actress to look like her character is racist is an idiot and completely rude!

btw, aishwarya rai = goddess, but aishwarya looks nothing like ww so just stop.

[GL1]

More cents from me:

1)
aishwarya rai = goddess, but aishwarya looks nothing like ww so just stop.

I plain old disagree. I think she looks a LOT more like Diana than, say Charisma Carpenter. Twice more, I'd estimate.

We're all agreed that Hollywood is still racist. Leave it at that.

2) Clearly. Thank you, Manic.

3) Whoever thinks that this woman:

http://www.movie-list.com/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=3787&d=1151066145

Can't pass for white, ancient greek, or whatever the heck Diana is is kidding themselves.

4) The Actor's ethnicity doesn't matter. It's their appearance that matters. If the actor's race matters to you, then you have some race issues that you need to examine and be honest with yourself about. Or maybe you just care about actors that much and read all those "Who is Brad Pitt dating?" magazines... Imho, you're better off being a racist. At least then you have some notable people in history to look up to.

Near Rant: How come everyone is like "Oh, Diana has to have that exotic beauty!" But the instant someone non-white is mentioned "Oh, Diana has to be white! White white white! Pasty white! Like sick children locked indoors!" I say: Phooey.

[04nbod]

i don't mind rai i just hope she doesn't have an Indian accent- i cant remember if she does

Shes small and has a high girly voice. She always plays typical dumb hot chick roles.

If shes selected, she'll be a whole different type of WW.

I wouldn't put it pass Joss to do something as stupid as having her play Wonder Woman.

Wow. Looks like Wonder Woman is heading for a bomb.

As long as Whedon and Silver have anything to do with the project then I'd have to agree.

[Manic]

What's wrong with Joel Silver? Granted, he's one of the producers of that damn D&D movie, but I enjoyed Kiss Kiss Bang Bang and V for Vendetta.

I don't find Joel Silver to be that bad. If memory serves me correctly he was the producer of atleast the first Die Hard movie(correct me if I'm wrong here). I just don't feel he is right for producing WW. But he might prove me wrong.

[Manic]

If you don't mind my asking, what creative team would you suggest for Wonder Woman?

[ImperfectIcon]

If you don't mind my asking, what creative team would you suggest for Wonder Woman?

...Whoever would treat this movie project with the respect that it commands.

I would like the team to have the same attitude and approach to this project as Richard Donner and others had when they did Superman The Movie, in that they (particularly Donner and Tom Mankiewicz) decided that they "weren't going to screw with Apple Pie...etc. etc." when the ideas and scripts that were floating around at the time would have turned the movie into a 1960's Batman camp quality picture.

Joss Whedon's attitude seems to me that he's not really that interested or doesn't give a damn. Maybe it is just Mr Whedon's character to be cocky and to tease the public, however it's been quite a while since he has been put on this wagon (the WW movie project), and frankly, if he survives to put this picture into the theatres, it better be worth all this time.

Granted this movie is a challenge to do (but so was Superman The Movie) but I would rather prefer having someone enthused about doing it than someone else who, atleast publicly, has displayed ominous signs of a lack of interest or respect for the character, as Whedon has done. That way you would have a chance of turning out a decent product.

If they deviate too much from what's in the comics then we can all bet it will be a disaster.

I'm not sure if Silver tapped Whedon to direct and write the screenplay but if he did that I'd be wondering why he should be tasked with producing this movie.

This movie cannot follow butt-kicking, death and destruction, cliche action formulas as in the other movies. I don't want this movie to be treated as yet another action-adventure flick. I have the feeling that alot of the movies that come out these days are being made like WW2 Sherman tanks massed-produced, which ensured quantity but not quality.

Though it maybe hard for them to do it, the current team, or a future one if these (Whedon and Silver) call it quits, should not approach this movie in the way that may suggest how much bucks they can make regardless of quality, but do it with "Verisimilitude" as Richard Donner would say. Yes Mr Donner was fired eventually by the producers but if it weren't for his direction and vision Superman the Movie would have floundered.

In case you are wondering I'm not saying that Richard Donner should take the helm, even though he is both a Director and Producer, but if he took over I would not be as uncomfortable as I would be with Whedon.

Still, if the right person/team would come along and they display the desire or intention to do this project right then I'd say go for it and good luck.

Why someone who admits he's not a fan of Wonder Woman but is on the team to make this movie puzzles me. That same person wants to invent a new villain instead of using an existing one in the WW Comics which not only tells me he had no idea but is not interested in the story of Wonder Woman. And the costume...geez louise! Alterations may have worked with Batman but I guarantee you it will not work with WW.

I've always said and still standby my comments regarding the retention of the George Perez version costume. Sure she had extra variation of costumes, including armor plates, shields and weapons, but it'll be hard to take seriously a person dressed in that garb all the time when their job in Patriarch's World is essentially to promote peace. Furthermore the armored garbs were only worn when the situation mandated their use.

Overall if he doesn't leave this project, then I implore Joss to do this thing right, and if he does it right, with "verisimilitude" then it will be a success. If he messes with it anymore than he reputedly has then I can assure you it will bomb.

[Manic]

Joss Whedon's attitude seems to me that he's not really that interested or doesn't give a damn. Maybe it is just Mr Whedon's character to be cocky and to tease the public, however it's been quite a while since he has been put on this wagon (the WW movie project), and frankly, if he survives to put this picture into the theatres, it better be worth all this time.

That way you would have a chance of turning out a decent product.
But where do you get the impression Whedon isn't enthused? Doesn't give a damn? I would think if he didn't want to make this movie, he would've turned it down, quit, and not bothered reading Perez and Rucka's comics.

If they deviate too much from what's in the comics then we can all bet it will be a disaster.
...X-Men franchise...

I'm not sure if Silver tapped Whedon to direct and write the screenplay but if he did that I'd be wondering why he should be tasked with producing this movie.
Thing is, Silver is one of those producers whose name is attached to both quality and sucky movies. He's a part of Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, V for Vendetta, the first Matrix movie, the Lethal Weapon movies, Last Boy Scout, Die Hard, 48 Hours, Weird Science, Predator, Demolition Man (stupid, yes, but fun as hell to watch). But he's also part of the remaining Matrix franchise, House of Wax, Gothika, Dungeons & Dragons, Hudson Hawk, Cradle 2 the Grave, Romeo Must Die, and Exit Wounds (I think we're all agreed that DMX needs to stop making movies).

His experience as a producer tells us squat about how well this movie will turn out. He's in a definite "we'll see" category, to me.

This movie cannot follow butt-kicking, death and destruction, cliche action formulas as in the other movies. I don't want this movie to be treated as yet another action-adventure flick. I have the feeling that alot of the movies that come out these days are being made like WW2 Sherman tanks massed-produced, which ensured quantity but not quality.
But that's the thing. Whedon isn't churning this movie out quickly and haphazardly, like Fantastic Four or X-Men 3. He's been given no deadline, and in just about every recent interview, he's said that he's trying to ensure he gets the movie right. Whedon was tapped for this movie, what, 2 years ago? While he was in the middle of a comic and another movie? If Wonder Woman was coming out this summer, I'd be worried. The re-writes don't worry me too much, because I remember the wait for Serenity. He said he struggled with writing that movie, too, and the critics loved it once it came out.

Why someone who admits he's not a fan of Wonder Woman but is on the team to make this movie puzzles me. That same person wants to invent a new villain instead of using an existing one in the WW Comics which not only tells me he had no idea but is not interested in the story of Wonder Woman. And the costume...geez louise! Alterations may have worked with Batman but I guarantee you it will not work with WW.
Whedon is on the team because he's someone who can treat a female lead with respect. He doesn't reduce women to sex, but he doesn't deny it. When I think of someone in Hollywood who'd make a good movie with female lead, I think of 3 people: Joss Whedon, James Cameron, and Quintin Tarantino. I think we all know Tarantino would be a huge mistake for this movie (we're talking R rating, Wonder Woman calling people obscene names out of the blue, direction cues taken from old 70s films), and Cameron makes a movie once every blue moon (although in truth, he's my dream director for this project).

I'm not going to bring up Wonder Woman's villains, because the only ones I know of are Ares, Cheetah, Giganta, Dr. Psycho, and Circe. And out of them, I'd say only Circe is movie-worthy. Maybe Ares.

What I don't understand is... why do costume alterations work for Batman, but not Wonder Woman? Why can people look at Batman's various movie costumes, and only ever complain about the nipples (and sometimes the lack of mobility), but changing Wonder Woman's pants to a battle-skirt will ruin the movie?

[The Shredder]

Boo.:down:o:down
Pretty much what I was thinking as well, after reading that.

I'd be pretty happy with SB as WW.

[ShadowBoxing]

How about the Bush Twins play naked lesbian Wonder Woman...just a thought.

[Majik1387]

Bush would have made T3 a bit more watchable but she's a terrible choice for Wonder Woman. And Jessica Biel was never in the running for WW, she was just a fan suggestion(A bad one). Carpenter and Baccarin are better choices but they're still not Wonder Woman.

[odiin]

So many names have been thrown out at this point that I don't even care anymore when a new one pops up. I just wish they would hurry up and finally announce the casting, no matter who it is. Ving Rhames for Wonder Woman? Fine with me, just so long as we get an official announcement.

Some very beautiful women on this board, some of which I think would be very good in the role, but I still can't get the lovely Morena Baccarin out of my head for the part of Diana of Themyscira. I like idea of WW having more of a soft angelic face and a strong healthy body. Morena would need a little training time for her physique, but I don't think that will be too hard for her and she's a wonderful actress, she's fantastic as Inara in Firefly and Serenity and she's very formidable and powerful in Stargate SG1.

Bush to play Wonder Woman?
Posted : January 7, 2007</B> Writer : Clint Morris

http://www.moviehole.net/img/sophiabush.jpgIf she’s not trying to ride her own pony or increase her rank at IMDBPro, Sophia Bush may indeed be our first ‘official’ contender for the role of “Wonder Woman” in Joss Whedon’s super-spiffy big-screen redo. Well, at least this rumour sounds like it’s got some meat to accompany its vegies, anyway.
IESB.net (http://www.iesb.net/) says they recently recieved a tip suggesting that the “One Tree Hill” star – soon to feature in the unnecessary remake of “The Hitcher” - is up for the role of the Amazonian Princess in Warner’s tentpoler.
This past week, they had the chance to ask Bush - you may remember, she was the girl that was fired a couple of weeks into "Terminator 3" and replaced by Claire Danes - about the rumours (that they had decided not to print, until they had investigated further).
According to the site, Bush didn’t deny the rumours at all, simply meshing a “Maybe” with a smile.

Sounds to me like – well, unless she’s yanking her own chain, as I said – like Whedon may have set his sights on a girly for the lead role. She is, after all, the perfect age for the role and just enough of a fresh face, which is what the writer/director’s been chasing.
Charisma Carpenter, Morena Baccarin and Jessica Biel were also said to be in the running.

Long ways off, but sounds like you can officially push Bush’s name to the top of the contender list.

http://www.moviehole.net/news/20070107_bush_to_play_wonder_woman.html

Gee, I hope not. I had my heart set on Morena Baccarin.


For a second I thought George Bush was going to play WW.:dry:

Pamela David (the Wonder Woman in the mexican advertising) never made porn. She has made erotic talk shows in the latin american Playboy Channel. And some regular mainstream movies and tv shows, like comedies. So, if anyone looks for "pamela david + porn movie + download" won´t find anything.

Going by the snail's pace Whedon is progressing, by the time this movie is actually in the casting phase, we might actually need manips of all these actresses' grandchildren instead. :csad: :cwink: :woot:

[DrayvensCrow]

Unfortunately, truer words have never been spoken, Phanboy. Or at the very least we're going to have to find a whole new batch of actresses! :(

Well, Terry....I really think that goes both ways....Hollywood can't get away with just tossing some schlubb in leading roles anymore. The general public demands that they be able to act and be believable. After the neon-colored fiasco that was "Batman and Robin", anyways.

[spark627]

Honestly, I can't see anyone but Lucy Lawless playing WW

-she is almost 6'
-bright blue eyes
-looks great with black hair
-fit/hot body
-can kick ass... its perfect

[Majik1387]

2 things.
1 - Lawless is way too old
2 - She is and will forever be known as Xena and nothing else.

[Katsuro]

I have a feeling they wont even cast a brunette, so it'll be someone no one saw coming. They might just cast a blonde and dye her hair.

I just find it funny that with every role people always suggest actors with the right hair color, as if hair dye doesn't exist. It's the same with bald characters, everyone just suggests bald actors.

Open your minds, and stop going the easy route by suggesting the obvious like Lucy Lawless. Where's the imagination in that? She pretty much already did play Wonder Woman.

[FVD]

Sophia Bush ain't a bad choice. I would have still gone with Alana de la Garza but it's a pity that her acting skills are appalling. :(

[Majik1387]

Sophia Bush can't act.

[Eddie Dean]

How about Tricia Helfer from Battlestar Galactica? She certainly has a strong screen presence and a good look for Wonder Woman. She would have to hit the gym and dye her hair, but besides that I think she could work.

I've seen her hosting Canadas Top Model, she photographs well but didnt come off like a strong WW type to me. Maybe if Diana was a runway model.

Also I'd prefer if the WW actress was in her 20s.

[Eddie Dean]

Have you seen her on Battlestar Galactica? She has a very commanding presence.

[terry78]

The problem is we want someone young that has the stature and aura of a warrior woman, but most females in their 20's still have that cuteness or sex bomb thing going on, and don't start hitting that commanding stride until they hit 30.

20s seems ideal.

Don't know if it's just me, but I can't see the pic.

You have to type the url into your address bar. It's basically the old teaser poster showing an arm and some cleavage.

[DrayvensCrow]

The problem is we want someone young that has the stature and aura of a warrior woman, but most females in their 20's still have that cuteness or thing going on, and don't start hitting that commanding stride until they hit 30.

It's not just that we want that presense, but more like the role demands that kind of presense. There are young, stong actresses out there who could fill her boots, but will TPTB have the b***s to cast them....:csad:

[jrpstarwars]

What? No trolling? Nothing negative to say about the poster?


Yeah it looks like my butt.

Well, it is another “Wonder Woman” casting rumour – but at least this one sounds like it’s got some meat to accompany the potatoes.

Jill Wagner, formerly of the short-lived “Blade: The Series”, stopped by FlickDirect to talk up her future plans, and mentioned that she’s actually met – yeah, ‘met’ is one better than ‘stalked casting director’ or ‘have emailed Joss Whedon via his MySpace’ – for “Wonder Woman”.

“I met with the guys over at Silver pictures about some things and Wonder Woman was one of them”, said Wagner, referring, of course, to meeting Producer Joel Silver at the Warner lot.

Another young spunk that supposedly met about the role was “One Tree Hill” star Sophia Bush, so you can see what kind of age and look they’re going for here. It goes without saying that Silver’s initial choice for the role, Kim Basinger (I kid you not! – dude must have been smoking a crack pipe with the Malpaso gang that day), is now clearly out of the running.

They had "stars" on Blade the series? :oldrazz:

Jill Wagner is mighty fine. DOn't picture her as an Amazonian Princess though.

I agree....Amazon, yes. Princess, nyet!

Just to throw in a name that hasn't been mentioned, though I'm pretty sure everyone won't like it: Brooke Hogan. She's young enough in case they want a franchise, she's got the height, I'd be willing to bet that she's gotten more than just a little bit of training from her father as far as selling action, she could bulk back up pretty easily and I'm sure she'd have no problem dying her hair.

To be fair, I know her nose is a bit big and she'd need some "upgrading" in the Pec region. She's not a knockout but she's a beautiful young woman.

ugh lets stick to actual actresses... not hulk hogan with boobs

This issue will never get resolved. Anyone they choose, someone will have a problem with.

[DrayvensCrow]

I did say she has a down side, I just didn't list them all.....but if WB/DC is thinking franchise, then someone her age is going to have to be seriously thought of.

[FlawlessVictory]

Agreed. I could go for Jill Wagner. I definitely prefer her over Sophia Bush.

Pretty much. There's still a ton of people who haven't warmed up to Brandon Routh.

Still holding out for Monica Dean.

So this is just another log to add to the rumor mill but: Smulders open to Wonder Woman (http://www.scifi.com/scifiwire/index.php?id=39730)

But even though it's just another faceless rumor, I wouldn't be dissapointed if she actually got the part. She definately has the face for it, I've seen her in "How I Met Your Mother" and thought she had a lot of screen presence. And her Wikipedia lists her as 5' 9" (though I'm not really sure if that's accurate).

that's Diana right there...

[terry78]

I'd just go with Monica Dean to end the whole debate. She looks close enough, she's got acting experience, I'm sure her ass would jump at the chance. Joss needs to just lay down the law and end it.

[spark627]

monica dean and the chick from 'how i met your mother' are both good choices.

i feel like there is more going on with WW then we know, perhaps it is all being kept hush-hush to keep fans in suspense.

[dnno1]

Me too.
