She has a pretty face but you can find more meat in a 6 pack of Chicken McNuggets than on Odette's arms (http://www.imdb.com/gallery/granitz/3413/Events/3413/OdetteYust_Vespa_5579033_400.jpg.html?path=pgaller y&path_key=Yustman,%20Odette). :oldrazz:

[Lane & Kent]

What are Taylor Cole's vital stats.

[blksuperman2]

That Is So Cool!

Thanks

What are Taylor Cole's vital stats.

I thinks she's like 5'8 1/2"

[Lane & Kent]

That's tall enough.

[SUPERSEBAS]

Alana De La Garza should be Wonder Woman!!!!!! she is perfect, only need blue eyes, and Linda Carter should play the Queen mother.

Alana looks like a modern and actual version of Linda

[SUPERSEBAS]

Why she is not in the poll ?

[wolfman7367]

Hello. New here, but like all of you, huge WW fan, and very much interested in who gets to take Lynda Carter's place. My friend the shredder suggested I join.

Personally, Im glad Whedon is off the project. I can imagine the movie being done "buffy" style with him at the helm. I wouldnt mind seeing Chris Nolan directing, seeing the job he did on Batman Begins.

Lynda will always be Wonder Woman in my eyes, but Im hoping she will get the role of the Queen Mother. I think it's only fair.

As for the starring role, Monica Dean is my top choice. Morenea Baccarin, then maybe Jennifer Connelly. Afer seeing all the pics of the choices, decided to add one of my own. Here's a manip I did of Monica as Wonder Woman.

I couldn't agree more. I suggested her a long time ago. The only problem with her is her acting skills. They still need some work. I do think she's a stunner though.

A lot of these actresses will be or are to old for the Wonder Woman firm silvers problaly wants an actress between the ages of 20 to 25. No disrespect to anyones choices (http://www.superherohype.com/search?hl=en&sa=X&oi=spell&resnum=0&ct=result&cd=1&q=choices+&spell=1)meant, but we should probibay be thinking of young actresses

Yet that Odette chick looks the part too. She was in Kindergarten Cop? Really?

Just cannot see Monica Dean as WW. Don't like her face. :down

[SufferingSappho]

NADIA!
http://i46.photobucket.com/albums/f111/batboy99/wwnad.jpg

Nadia Bjorlin is a crappy actress and she looks like a trashy stripper not a classic beauty like Wonder Woman. We need an elegant woman for the role and Nadia Bjorlin is not at all elegant.


And Diana needs to be angelic not demonic looking like Nadia, she'd give children nightmares if she played the character.

[Steelsheen]

^^ she could play Circe :p

[Lane & Kent]

TAYLOR COLE IS DIANA/WODER WOMAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:woot:

[phoenixflight]

Welcome to the hype. Don't know who Cobie is but Taylor Cole is my hands down favorite.:woot:

Here is Cobie Smulders. I didn't really know who she was until the casting rumors, however she has quickly become a favorite of mine. I love her in "How I Met Your Mother"...great show!!! (just started watching).

Some people may complain that she has a gummy smile (and in some pics she does), however, she is truly beautiful. Seeing her on the Grammy's...she has an elegant quality to her that I can see as an Amazon Princess.

I would love to see her cast, and at 5'9", she's got great height!

[Lane & Kent]

the former Miss Universe 2005, Natalie Glebova, would make a great Wonder Woman. she's 25, has dark hair and blue eyes and is 5'11" all she need are acting lessions

Sorry, but I've seen her try to act and she's lousy. And I'd like to see the character and film taken seriously and for that to happen we need a very good actor in the role, if not a great one.

[Venomfan]

some kid posted this in the spider-man forums. its a hot pic so i thought id pass it on
I MADE THIS PICTURE WITH KATE BACKINSALE WONDER WOMAN DRESS!

WHAT YOU THINK?

[terry78]

Nadja does look like she belongs on Skinemax in a movie that's a parody of Law and Order...only with butt sex.

[darkseid26]

all the other choices are great, but this is my opinion that they all look a little to young their all great but maybe more of a donna troy or artemis to me


my vote catherine zeta jones:trans:

Jessica Biel has the body, the look and showed she can act in The Illusionist.

what?! dont tell me she's Betty Ross? :(

[SufferingSappho]

I'm gonna say she'll be playing Jennifer Walters/She-Hulk if anyone. Which I think is a lot better fit for her than Wonder Woman.

[jrpstarwars]

How about Shannon Doherty? She's already good at hitting people and has a nice rack.

Shannen Doherty? She's too old, too short, too infamous and she doesn't look like Diana at all. I hope you are just joking.

Shannen Doherty? :huh:

[Antonello Blueberry]

After Shannon Doherty and the transexual wrestler every other option won't seem so far off.
Simon Pegg as Wonder Woman.

[batboy99]

Kate Beckinsale is my only choice for Wonder Woman.
so,i see you want another female superhero movie to tank lol

Taylor Cole For WW!

[Steelsheen]

P.S. I think Catwoman should play Wonder Woman.

[batboy99]

NO NO NO!it should be plastic man :o
STEELSHEEN-you are so right!i dont think he knows anything about the character,c'mon,first it was julia roberts,than liv tyler(which,i admit has the looks but isnt that great of an actress)and now dorhtey?Lets just all be glad he isnt a pro casting director

[Katsuro]

i'm 98% convinced every word that jprstarwars types is a complete joke. No one could have taste THAT bad in casting. I mean they just cant.

you'd be surprised how many supposed "Wonder Woman fans" know nothing more about her than her T&A.

so they dont know that she was made from sand and has no father? :p
oh and that her lasso isnt just for kinky sex?lol

[Lane & Kent]

My second choice to Taylor Cole for the role of Wonder Woman is Denise Quiñones. She played Andrea Rojas/Angel of Vengeance
in the Season 5 Episode of Smallville titled "Vengeance" She's 26, tall at 5' 10" (1.78 m) has exotic looks and dark hair. Now all she neede are sone blue comtects.

Oh, I always love that tactic. When losing an argument on the internet, all you have to do is point out how big of a nerd the other person is, then act like you're not one, even though you're arguing about comic books on the internet.

[pifpaf]

[FVD]

Alana de la Garza who's currently on Law & Order. Looked stunning on CSI Miami Season 4 she was always a favourite for me to play WW. Needs to work on her acting though.

She's only 4 days older than me too. Useless information I know. :D

[Lane & Kent]

I still say either Taylor Cole or Cobie Smulders for the role of Diana/Wonder Woman!:woot:

[dpm07]

I still say either Taylor Cole or Cobie Smulders for the role of Diana/Wonder Woman!:woot:

I don't have any problem with your choices. I wouldn't mind Alana De La Garza either.

Probably my more favorite option would be Taylor Cole. Especially after seeing her last season in Supernatural.

[Justice Bringer]

My major issue with Alana De La Garza is she can't convey emotions well on screen.

She's my least favorite female character addition to Law and Order. Shes really bland and boring.

I doubt she could play the innocence of a young WW either; only the fiercness.

I'd say shes better suited for a villian.

[Lane & Kent]

Does anyone know if Taylor Cole is interested in the role of Diana/Wonder Woman?

[zanos]

I was the first to mention Alana's name way back when she was doing the Mountain on the WB. She's got the perfect look.

[bulok]

My second choice to Taylor Cole for the role of Wonder Woman is Denise Quiñones. She played Andrea Rojas/Angel of Vengeance
in the Season 5 Episode of Smallville titled "Vengeance" She's 26, tall at 5' 10" (1.78 m) has exotic looks and dark hair. Now all she neede are sone blue comtects.



I don't know about her acting but looks wise she has definite potential...

http://www.serienjunkies.de/Seriendarsteller/Denise-Quinones/denise-quinones.jpg

[Justice Bringer]

Ya, her acting is really bad (typical of Smallville freaks of the week). And shes got an obvious hispanic accent in there.

[Steelsheen]

So tell us, what is WOnder Woman about?:dry:
certainly a whole lot more than a pretty face and tight T&As. go find the answers yourself. if you could find smut you could definitely find some worthwhile information on Wonder Woman.


Wow. Your vast Wonder Woman is of great value to society. You should be proud.:whatever:
i am :) as well as the society around me :)

[blksuperman2]

LOL, 4 post sethwolf. We get it, she's hot.

[bulok]

Ya, her acting is really bad (typical of Smallville freaks of the week). And shes got an obvious hispanic accent in there.

What sort of accent should Wonder Woman, an Amazon, have? American? British? Greek?

[Justice Bringer]

Greek or how Lynda Carter spoke is fine.

[FVD]

Has anybody ever suggested Caterina Murino who played Solange on Casino Royale. If Monica Bellucci can't play WW then why not her? She's frakkin' stunning.

IMdB has her listed as being 32 when in fact she's actually gonna be 30 this year.

M.E.W is a definite ringer for MJ. Better than Dunst

:woot: My Wonder Woman is still Taylor Cole!:woot:

[Steelsheen]

i'm all for Jolie as WW, unfortunateky her star is too big for this sort of thing :(

[The Shredder]

http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a380/ringdeacon/wonderwomanteaser.jpg
My vote goes to Anglina Jolie. She would be one hot Wonder Woman.

Nice poster. :up:

Although Angelina is one of the more frequently mentioned names for more than a few comic book franchise films, I would be perfectly fine with the announcement of her casting. As I believe she would turn in a portrayal that the character most definately needs, and deserves for her first major motion picture debut. Obviously Angelina isnt my first choice for WW, however she is up there though. :word:

[Reptile]

I'd pick Megan fox

[DrayvensCrow]

Nice pic, just not my pick.

Here's an intersting choice....

What about Allison Stokke, National age-group pole vault champion?(She's 18)

Pictures of her have been taking the internet by storm. She has the look to play a young WW and definitely has the athleticism :

yes lets cast someone who is an athlete and probably has no acting skills for one of the biggest characters in the world :)

[Jyn]

Can we actually start casting actual actresses for a large scale movie please. Enough with the athletes and the singers (Katherine McPhee fans!!) Its a movie not a game of celebrity look-a-like

[natnut]

Perhaps we should think out of the box :

after all, the actress who plays WW not only has to act but be able to perform some stunts and look believable athletically.

Instead of finding an unknown actress and training her up to be buff, why not find an unknown athlete and train her to act?

Perhaps, the producers should find a heterogenous group of promising actresses, dancers and sportgirls, train each up in whatever she's lacking(acting skills, athleticism etc) for 6 months, then conduct a screen test.

Lord knows, considering the time they've spent getting this project started up, they could have trained any girl they plucked from the street and taught her the necessary acting and stunts skills by the time actual shooting starts.

Joel Silver could even make a reality show out of the training of the aspiring actresses. Maybe call it "Who wants to be a Wonder Woman"?

[FVD]

Thank you! At least someone agrees.

You and me both my friend. :)

[Jyn]

This movie should have been made a few years ago. If seems like all the best candidates are too old now:csad:

[The Shredder]

Personally, I feel that the success of a Wonder Woman film would greatly benefit from casting an actress that the public and the general audiences can accept as Wonder Woman (which honestly wasnt the case with Routh), but also an actress that can portray the character on a level that is very much akin to Christian Bale's portrayal of Batman in Nolan's Batman Begins.

Also, count me in as one who prefers the idea of Wonder Woman being a contemporary to Bale's Batman. And with that being said, Jennifer Connelly still has my vote. And rightfully so. :)

[dnno1]

Joel Silver could even make a reality show out of the training of the aspiring actresses. Maybe call it "Who wants to be a Wonder Woman"?

You mean the one where the fans call in and choose the winner? I can see it now. Nadia Bjorlin enters at the last minute and wins by a landslide because some hack called 1,000,000,000 times. I think this should be more serious that that (although it could be leveraged to raise money for the production budget of the film).

[terry78]

I hope they don't get so desparate to get this off the ground that someone is like, "hey, Lohan is now a brunette and has light colored eyes, let's just throw her in there." :csad:

[Deadpool876]

How about Jaime Murray? :cwink: The chick from the TV series Hustle. They made an episode there where she dressed up like WW. The costume isn't exactly the same but you can tell it was a reference to WW. She can act and I think she looks the part. There are good choices here. Damn, Monica Belluci would make a hot WW and Jennifer Connely too. Since it would be an origin movie, then Morena Baccarin is a good choice...and they should consider Jaime Murray too. :yay:

Here are links for Jaime Murray:

[Antonello Blueberry]

How about Jaime Murray? :cwink:
She was suggested here and elsewhere, there are even a couple of good manipulations with her as WW. But she's 30 and I'm sure they're looking for someone in her mid 20s max.

[Steelsheen]

because its easier to get an actress physically fit like an athelete rather than to teach an athlete the intricacies of acting.

there is some truth in this.

Before the great cinematic disaster called Catwoman opened up, I wouldnt doubt that might have happened. But Post-Catwoman, I would like to think WB/Silver would be very aware that they would essentially be digging their own hole with that kind of logic, and casting.

[p4poetic]

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.

That is true. Hell, its what they did for Xena as well. Had I seen this photo and was told this young Kiwi girl would be playing the ferocious warrior princess, I would of laughed at them.

However I have a problem with the blue eyes thing. 95% of the actresses who are suggested to be cast in WW don't have blue eyes. Most of them are named cause the guys think they're hot. lol

But I disagree on your last statement, Xena is nothing like Wonder Woman. I wish people would stop saying that. The only similarities are physical; raven hair and piercing blue eyes. And thats where they stop. Xena was an anti-hero, a mere mortal, a former sadistic wild serial-killer like villain, a flawed character. Whereas Diana Prince was a flawless, perfect immortal molded by the Olympian Gods with limitless superpowers which makes one think, how can somebody be able to beat her anyway? Even Superman has his kryptonite (okay, regardless of the fact that only Lex Luther is able to obtain it).

[DrayvensCrow]

Casting someone with the same hair color just keeps from having the whole dye problem and wig problem from rearing their ugly heads at the wrong moment during .

Steelsheen, while training an actress may be easier in general, you know as well as I that you leave yourself open to her being completely unathletic. She couldn't play pickup sticks without going on the DL for 4-6 weeks! Wouldn't it be fair to at least give some of the female athletes a shot? One of them could be a natural-born actress....

Victoria Pratt was a surprisingly good actress (at least, from the two episode she played an Amazon in X:WP. I haven't seen her in anything else) who was just a former body-builder fitness lady. I wish I could say the same for Tsianina Joelson, who also played an Amazon on Xena, and was Miss Fitness 1997. She's still hot though...lol Her body is amazing. Vicky's is a bit too muscular/manly to me.

[DrayvensCrow]

Victoria also played Shalamar on Mutant X and I don't remember the character's name from Cleopatra 2424....She has a long line of credits.

hey i'm willing to give anyone a shot, actress, athlete, bodybuilder or geek. but its very important to keep everything in balance: the acting as well as the physicality.

also you gotta give some credit to the actors. even if they were stick thin, if they landed a part that would require them to be in the best shape and health of their lives they will do anything to get there. case in point: Christian Bale going from The Machinist to Batman Begins.

she can still be defeated, magic can still get to her, and there is that age old debate of her strength level against Superman (which could get really messy, so lets not go there ;))

Point taken with Bale but you remember what happened when he was told to bulk up at first, right? We almost had Fatman Begins! That's my big sticking point with some of the names thrown out there; not getting the point about bulking up the right way. At least with Routh, he got it the first time.

Baleman likes to cram, its his nature.

but yeah Routh is a good example of bulking up the right way, given that he wasnt exactly built to begin with. as i've said i have faith in the dedication of actors (specially those that have yet to prove themselves) to get in the best shape they can be for a role of a lifetime.

NOT BAD BUT TOO GIRLISH WONDER WOMAN FACE IS MORE MATURE.

[ANTOINE X]

Personally, I think Brandon Routh was wonderful as Superman. And by the way, Christopher Reeve was no bigger and had no more muscle than Brandon Routh.

http://www.patfullerton.com/superman/pix/christopherreeve/christreevesup6.jpghttp://fratelliditalia.altervista.org/_altervista_ht/superman_returns.JPG

if only we could put the head of christopher on top of Brandon body :woot:

[DrayvensCrow]

Actually, Routh is bigger than Christopher muscle wise but only in the fact that Chris trained differently. Christopher had leaner muscles but was just as strong. He had more of a swimmer's type training because it would have taken longer back then to get to Brandon's size.

[p4poetic]

if only we could put the head of christopher on top of Brandon body :woot:

And Dean could work too. :cwink:

[Antonello Blueberry]

Christopher Reeve's head on Monica Dean's body?

Alana De La Garza should be Wonder Woman!!!!!! she is perfect, only need blue eyes, and Linda Carter should play the Queen mother.

Alana looks like a modern and actual version of Linda

Most definitely. I basically started the Cole bandwagon 3 years ago while Summerland was on the air

Um...That pic of Reeve was taken near the begining of filming when they shot in New York, and he was not as big as he was later on in the production. Here is a photo of him later on in the production:

As you can see, he got way bigger than Routh.

Reeve had a wider jaw line, bud the build looks exactly the same to me.

That last pic looks photoshopped.


If people complained about Supes colors being too dark then they'll complain about WW's reds too,phoenixflight. I like it though.

[The Question]

JJDiyA8Ak2s

Well, I do, as I watched it and don't see her as Diana. The thing is, Diana isn't just a pretty faced action star. She's a polotician, a military leader, and a spiritual leader for her people. The things she does or says from behind a desk or a podium effect the world more than the adventures she has in her spare hours. I might be wrong, but I just don't see any of that in your kid.

[Ring Deacon]

http://img78.imageshack.us/img78/9363/wwcobiecy8.jpg

I could see this being used. It seems to me like the costume discribed in the script review. I like it. But i would like them to go a little more true to the comic, but that may not traslate well on screen.

[The Question]

I honestly don't see why everyone thinks Connelly is "too old." Age is only an issue if your apearence has changed signifigantly over the years. Connelly looks great, and I think she fits the part better than anyone else mentioned here.

[Ring Deacon]

Exactly. Age is just a number. She has a great look and would do the role justice. Think about this for a minute. If Chris Reeves was still alive and could walk we would all have wanted him to be Superman again. I know I would.

I don't see Wonder Woman in her 20's anyway. She should be in her 30's. Batman is in his 30's so is Superman. So it would only make sense for Diana to be in hers too.

[TheComicbookKid]

Connelly wouldn't work for 2 reasons.

1. Diana is described as being in her early 20s. If Connelly plays her then Hippolyta would have to be 50. ( A cougar as best):woot:

2.As a franchise going over seven years, she'd be pretty old by the end. Then you'd have to continually recast older women in the role to continue the franchise.

[The Question]

1. Diana is described as being in her early 20s. If Connelly plays her then Hippolyta would have to be 50. ( A cougar as best):woot:

It really doesn't matter if she's in her early 20s or not. The WWII script that's out there isn't even what's going to be made. The producer just bought it because he didn't want it floarting around independantly forever. Also, Hippolyta is 3,000 years old by the time Diana is born. So the actress' age doesn't matter too much.

2.As a franchise going over seven years, she'd be pretty old by the end. Then you'd have to continually recast older women in the role to continue the franchise.

If she still looks good for the part, what would it matter?

[Ring Deacon]

For real. Wolverine is said to be older then Professer X, but a guy in his 30's plays him. Diana is desendent of Greek Gods, the actress that plays her can be just about any age as long as she looks good in the role. Age should not be a factor.

[dnno1]

I honestly don't see why everyone thinks Connelly is "too old." Age is only an issue if your apearence has changed signifigantly over the years. Connelly looks great, and I think she fits the part better than anyone else mentioned here.

She will be over 40 by the time this project gets released (or even starts filming). I think you are dreaming to even think that she should be considered nowadays.

[The Shredder]

I will have to agree with The Question, in that I also believe Jennifer Connelly is definately not too old for the role, and that she would certainly make a terrific Wonder Woman if everything came together to where she would ultimately play the part. As she would also make a great contemporary for Chris Bale's Batman, IMO.
But unfortunately, this is Hollywood we are talking about. And the chances of Connelly being cast are fairly slim to none in this age of youth obsessed Hollywood. Also, the idea of Hippolyta being played by an actress in her 50's wouldnt bother me in the slightest. Perfect opportunity for utilize Lynda Carter for a part if I ever saw one.

As you can see, he got way bigger than Routh.
He will ALWAYS be Superman to me!! And another point is that Routh was indeed wearing a muscle suit under his costume. Reeve wasn't!
And just look at Reeve's face. He has the perfect face for the character! His brow his eyes his glare his jaw line . . . he just screams Superman. Routh looks more like something they just made due with.

[DrayvensCrow]

Ummm....ok, batbat.....you did watch the behind the scenes stuff on SR, right??? The "muscle suit" Routh wore wasn't as much of an enhancement as you make it out to be. Chris' supersuit was made of a different material than Routh's. If Chris were to have been able to wear Routh's suit, he too would have needed the "muscle suit" and vice-versa.

[kevinpenni]

Mary Elizabeth Winstead or Megan Fox

[kansas boy]

I say that Hollywood, breaks it down to like 10 actresses or something like that. Then WE watch their auditions and pick the best 3 or so. Maybe have a contest or something, who knows.

Just get the right actress to play the part. Not based on looks alone, although, Taylor Cole does have the look, but can she or whoever is cast be believeable (act and willingness to do some of her easy stunts) and have that charm we all love.

[batbat_29640]

I can't, because I don't know what episode it is, nor do I have access to old episodes of Supernatural. In any event, I just don't see Diana in anything you've shown here. I really can't place it, but she just doesn't look like Diana.
I've shown you nothing. But you can access old episodes of Supernatural at alluc.org along with other TV shows such as The Dresden Files in which there is an actress named Joanne Kelley Whom I believe would be a splendid Diana.

it was probably inspired from Pre-Crisis Cheetah.

the current one looks human with some spots over her body.

i remember that episode of Supernatural, as soon as i saw her on screen, and watched a couple seen of her, i thought or her for wonder woman, (not that she acts like wonder woman in the episode, just on her looks and on screen presents) i jumped on to the computer to look her up, and then when to some forums to suggest her in the role

so, she could fit that role

Right!! She does not look like the quintessential WW!!! Why put someone in a role if they don't look the part. You want biel as a superheroine? Cool. She'd be a better HawkGirl anyway.
Considering the script that WB has calls for someone young anyway. Taylor Cole is the best choice I've seen in the age range.

Mary Elizabeth Winstead or Megan Fox
no to MEW, shes Mj and a BIG ASS no to megan fox as WW,i d actually take MEW over her for the role

Are you a Biel voter?

[TheComicbookKid]

After watching the four clips, my initial reactions are:

1.She has no screen presence.
2. If she were cast, I know she's hot enough to put some butts in the seats.
3. I'm not sold on her as an actress. She's no where near turn the tv bad, but she's not I empathize with her good either. If it's an upbeat script(FF) type then she'll work. If it's(BB) acting then she'll totally suck the life from it.

With the right director, acting coach, and enough push in the right direction she'd be perfect.

[Slipping_Halo]

It's ridiculous that people just put their favorite sexy actress/model for Wonder Woman. Do we want a good movie or just eye-candy? Yes, the actress has to be beautiful, but haven't we had enough of mediocre movies?

Jennifer Connelly, because she's hot.

No, she can act. She looks the part. She's NOT too old. If you ask me, she looks more the part than she did in her 20's. She's perfect.

[DieSmiling]

People need to calm down about the geting the perfect look for WW. You're not going to find it, and if you do, chances are it will be in an actress who can't act.

hey I've always loved the idea of her as WW. But I'm just thinking in terms of what the script calls for. Just want to show that there are better choices than jessica Biel out there. Ya know?

Then what's the point of making a WW movie if you can't properly fill the role. That's like saying they'll never or have never found the perfect Superman.

They haven't, and they won't. No literary character will ever be perfectly brought to the screen by a given actor. For every guy who swears by Keaton, there is a guy who swears by Bale. Is Christopher Reeve the perfect Superman? I don't think so.

But they got a perfect Hellboy. Spiderman, when masked (almost zero screentime) is perfect. Iron Man is also perfect.

but you cant deny the fact that the look is as important as the acting skills.

the problem with a lot of these WW casting threads is that its lopsided towards the favor of appearance. i mean take a look at the poll fer cryin out loud. most of those cant even act out of a wet paper bag. going through this lengthy thread is even worse.

from all the years i've been at SHH and following the thread there are only two actresses suggested that meets the standards (beauty, talent, height): Jenniffer Connely and Monica Bellucci. both of which, according to Hollywood standards, are "too old" :whatever: but there you go, those ladies are the gold standard, now the trick is to find ladies who comes as close to those standards as possible.

I do. i mean the was the embodiment of everything I saw as Superman . . . on screen anyway. I have only seen one other actor that could have surpassed him physically and it wasn't in any Superman project.
And btw most of those who LOVE the Burton/Keaton Batman chode . . . weren't familiar with the dark Batman until that movie came out.

I disagree.

[TheComicbookKid]

Part of the problem is that WW is seen to many of as a late 20s, early 30s woman, but that's not how Hollywood will cast her. Many of these choices haven't been in enough serious roles in their early careers to shine enough and become a well-rounded actress. I'm sure WW is out there in some indie,foreign film that most of us haven't seen or doesn't immediately come to mind.

[The Question]

I've shown you nothing. But you can access old episodes of Supernatural at alluc.org along with other TV shows such as The Dresden Files in which there is an actress named Joanne Kelley Whom I believe would be a splendid Diana.

Fine. But I still stand by my statement that she really doesn't look much like Diana, at least to me.

Are you a Biel voter?

No. Why would you think that?

[Steelsheen]

TQ, who would you cast as Diana?

[The Question]

TQ, who would you cast as Diana?

Connelly.

[Justice Bringer]

A JL script was turned in to WB; its becoming more likely that WW will make her debut in a JLA feature; most likely to come out after Superman:MoS and The Flash.

With that in mind; I'm still pushing for Taylor Cole. She'd be the perfect age by then and would match well with Bale and Routh if they are contracted for this.

[Steelsheen]

i'm sorry if i'm a bit too hung up on the process, but i've been through this way too many times before to just throw cares to the wind. the article said that its only a draft that was turned in. looking for a director based on a first draft isnt impossible, but it doesnt happen often. that's why i'm a little skeptical. and when will they hash out a screenplay? shouldnt that be done first before spending time and money looking for a director to helm this? unless of course they're looking for a director that can also write the screenplay based on this draft.

so unless they announce a director by the end of the month, casting for WW is still a long ways off.

[batbat_29640]

Fine. But I still stand by my statement that she really doesn't look much like Diana, at least to me.



No. Why would you think that?
Just wondering. I take it you're looking more for the George Perez/Brian Bolland look for Wonder Woman. Which is a good direction I think.

[batbat_29640]

Connelly.
I'd LOVE to see her play WW but she too old.

[Lucid]

I completely disagree. Christopher Reeve is universally accepted as Superman and Superman is arguably harder to cast than Wonder Woman. As far as literary characters in general, here's what Annie Proulx, the author of Brokeback Mountain, said about Heath Ledger as Ennis Del Mar:

"Heath Ledger is just almost really beyond description as far as I'm concerned. He got inside the story more deeply than I did. All that thinking about the character of Ennis that was so hard for me to get, Ledger just was there. He did indeed move inside the skin of the character, not just in the shirt but inside the person. It was remarkable."

And that's from the author! Also, some classic British novel adaptations come to mind (Sense and Sensibility, Wuthering Heights, etc.) and what about Malcolm McDowell as Alex in A Clockwork Orange?

Now, I will agree that these great casting choices are rare, but it's not fair to say that they have never and will never happen. It's also important to remember that the acting in a film like Wonder Woman or Superman doesn't have to be Oscar-worthy, so I don't think the 'looks and talent' combination is impossible to find. Hard, yes. Impossible, no.

[The Question]

Just wondering. I take it you're looking more for the George Perez/Brian Bolland look for Wonder Woman. Which is a good direction I think.

Definately. I also think that Rags Morales and the other artist who worked with Greg Rucka during his run captured her look perfectly.

I'd LOVE to see her play WW but she too old.

I hardly think she's too old to play the character. But she is older than what Hollywood would allow. Which is a shame. Way I see it, as long as your capable of playing the part convincingly, age shouldn't matter. Besides, Diana should have a level of inteligence about her that suggests her being older, albiet with less actual worldly experience.

[batboy99]

she looks younger than she is, but from what they probably want for age for wonder woman, shes too old and would probably work for their hippolyta tho ithink that role belongs to ms. carter

[Justice Bringer]

Lynda Carter sucks as an actress. I'd rather they give Hippolyta to a Hollywood bigname like Connelly or Monica B

[batboy99]

BLASPHAMEY! ok so yeah ,she isnt that great, but c'mon, who wouldnt love the original wonder woman playing a part in the new movie?

[batbat_29640]

LINDA CARTER FOR HIPPOLYTA ALL THE WAY!!!!
Justice Bringer?? please

[batboy99]

Exactly!

unless you want to walk around with a mark on your head, you'd better be careful when saying that in a WW thread/ forum;)

i know Carter is no Blanchett, but she isnt Jessica Simpson. she did pretty well in Sky High, which i thought was commendable given that she hasnt done much for decades (since she opted to take care of the family).

i think she would actually do rather well as Hippolyta. there's a regal grace about Lynda Carter that's almost royal.

[Justice Bringer]

I found her acting pretty bad on Law and Order SVU and Smallville.

I think Monica Belluci has a much more effective regal presense for Hippolyta and visual look.

[Justice Bringer]

BLASPHAMEY! ok so yeah ,she isnt that great, but c'mon, who wouldnt love the original wonder woman playing a part in the new movie?

I wouldnt mind a cameo from her (like Noel Niel and Jack Larson in SR) but Hippolyta is a pretty big role.

[Steelsheen]

i gotta get around watching those taped episodes of Smallville :(

i want Bellucci for Wonder Woman dammit! :cmad:

well Bellucci can play Hipollyta so long as WW is considerably younger than she is. and personally i'm having a hard time seeing very young actresses meet the basic qualifications of WW.

also Bellucci has this ethereal quality about her, she would make a really good Athena.

[Justice Bringer]

Yep Bellucci is way too old for WW/Diana though.

Hippolyta shouldnt look too much older than Diana however. Old enough to look like a mature adult but still youthful looking; like Bellucci is.

Lynda Carter would be practically 60 by the time this thing comes out.

[batboy99]

I wouldnt mind a cameo from her (like Noel Niel and Jack Larson in SR) but Hippolyta is a pretty big role.
so, its lynda, watch, if they make a WW movie, shes gonna get the role

[Justice Bringer]

Depends on the director; its not like Burton cast Adam West as Thomas Wayne or the mayor

[batboy99]

true, but i bet she'll get a role in the movie

[Justice Bringer]

I wouldnt put your money on the line just yet. Who knows when this thing will come out.

Like I said I'm more inclined to think if she had to have a role in this; it would be a brief cameo.

i think her name will definitely make the rounds, and i'm pretty sure the suits will ask her, but i remember an interview she gave that she isnt interested in appearing in the WW movie for the sake of a cameo. she wants to have a role that has significance to the story. this is where a lot of the fans have thought that she could either be Hippolyta or Athena.

[batboy99]

id prefer hippolyta, is like she was the orginal WW(The mother) and is now passing on the crown to her child( new WW)

[Steelsheen]

we dont know the details of Whedon's script but according to the spec script bought by WB its more in accordance to WW's 1940s origins, so no post crisis influence.

[batboy99]

no i dont mean interms of story, i mean like if lynda is in, shes passing on the ''crown'' to someone else who is taking on the WW character

[Steelsheen]

that's what i meant. Post Crisis has this ridiculous story that Hippolyta was the Wonder Woman from the 1940s, and passes on the torch to Diana who is the present day Wonder Woman. the original/ Pre-Crisis version is that Diana has always been Wonder Woman. Hippolyta is the Queen of Paradise Island and didnt become WW at all.

but thats not what I meant lol

ok i think i get it.

you just mean that outside the context of the story, it would be Lynda Carter (who played the original WW on TV) would be passing the torch to the whichever actress will be playing WW in the movie? kind of like the way Christopher Reeve made a guest appearance in Smallville, original movie Superman passing the torch to the then current Superman (or Superboy).

[Two-Face]

I think WB should cast unknown actress like they did with Superman.

[Steelsheen]

yeah, but i was hoping the actress has had a bit more work experience before taking on the lead for a behemoth movie.

when it comes to "unknown", i'm thinking of having them look into experienced stage actors, or perhaps look into well known actors from other countries like the UK or Australia, you know something like what they did with Hugh Jackman and Eric Bana. Jackman and Bana have been acting for years in their own countries but was an unknown when they came to Hollywood.

[Lane & Kent]

That's not a bad idea Steelsheen

From wikipedia:



A day before Whedon's departure from Wonder Woman in February 2007, Warner Bros. Pictures and Silver Pictures purchased a spec script (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spec_script) written by Matthew Jennison and Brent Strickland in order to prevent future legal action about similarities in the scripts. The spec script, set during World War II, had impressed executives at Silver Pictures.[17] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wonder_Woman_%28film%29#_note-15) Silver purchased the script as he didn't want it floating around in the industry, and though he felt it had good ideas he didn't desire to produce a period piece (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Period_piece).[18] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wonder_Woman_%28film%29#_note-16)

[Steelsheen]

From wikipedia:

oh come on TQ, i think you're smart enough to know that you shouldnt believe everything you read in Wiki.

anyway i remember reading an article where that blurb was based from, and from how i understood it as well as with discussions with other WW fans the reason why WB took the spec script off the market was because they might use some ideas on that script, but it wont be a period piece, instead the setting is modern day.

they will not use that script as is, they will hire their own writers (or maybe the writers who originally penned it) and rework that script into the kind of movie that WB wants. but trust me WB will use something from that script, its is the big reason why they took it off the market. it doesnt make sense to buy a script and not use a thing in it, thats wasting money.

That does seem to be the most likely possibility.

[The Shredder]

If WB & Silver can find some way at all possible to include certain aspect/aspects of the Whedon script that ties into the script that the studio will ultimately go with for the green light, then of course they would. Doesnt necessarily mean that's going to happen, but it's better to have all of your bases covered in developmental hell projects like this.

[Steelsheen]

^^ yes, Whedon's draft, although rejected, is still technically owned by WB. educated guess is whoever will be the new writer/ director they will use some parts of the spec script and a few stuff from Whedon's draft.

[The Question]

I really hope they play up on the political and spiritual aspects of Wonder Woman. I know it doesn't seem likely, but I actually enjoy the religious undertones and West Wing-esque political aspects of the character much more than the action/adventure stuff. I kind of like to think of her as a major political and spiritual figure similar to Ghandi, Princess Diana (you know, the other one), and Sathya Sai Baba in various respects.
