In February 2007, Whedon departed from the project, citing script differences with the studio.[25] Whedon reiterated: "I never had an actress picked out, or even a consistant [sic] front-runner. I didn't have time to waste on casting when I was so busy air-balling on the script." Whedon stated that with the Wonder Woman project left behind, he would focus on making his film Goners.[25]
A day before Whedon's departure from Wonder Woman, Warner Bros. Pictures and Silver Pictures purchased a spec script written by Matthew Jennison and Brent Strickland (presumably to prevent future legal action due to similarities between the scripts). Set during World War II, the script impressed executives at Silver Pictures. However, Silver has made clear that he purchased the script because he didn't want it floating around in the industry: although it has good ideas, he doesn't wish for the Wonder Woman film to be a period piece. (Wikipedia info)
I think the producers will find a new director and try and re-build the Wonder Woman film which was set to come out next year in July.
But i still go with my choice for wonder woman-
:ww:MEGAN FOX!!!:ww:
Ugh....Megan Fox can't act worth a damn....

Yeah, it does get to be a bit much. But as you said, atleast Jolie is an actress with actual talent that can take a role, and make it her own. Which is exactly the type of actress needed for Wonder Woman. With Fox, and others, it's a bit more irritating since most of us are already well aware that actual acting ability more or less takes a back seat to looks. Which suffice to say, is exactly not the type of actress needed for Wonder Woman.

Much as I hate to say it, I think a Wonder Woman movie will not make the numbers the greedy exces want. I would love to see it.
She might be better off in a JL movie. I would love to see that as well.
I'm starting to think that a JL movie is a good springboard for solo movies, other than the other way around, kinda like in the Timmverse...

Female action hero movies don't bomb because they have women in the leading roles. Movies like Elektra, CINO, Aeon Flux, Ultraviolet, etc. bombed because they were BAD MOVIES.
A successful WW movie can be made if the right people got together and actually tried to make a good movie that's faithful to the comics. Instead of hiring someone like Jessica Biel or Megan Fox and then focusing on the T&A at the expense of the story.
Introducing WW and other characters that the WB hasn't brought to the big screen yet (Flash, Green Lantern, J'onn J'onzz, Aquaman) in a Justice League movie first would be terrible IMO, and risk turning that movie into a shallow action fest that asks viewers to root for characters they don't even know. People can recognize WW and Flash, but do they really KNOW their origins, personalities, motivations, or personal problems? And trust me, if a Justice League movie is ever made, Superman and Batman will receive the lion's share of the focus. There won't be time to flesh out the half dozen other characters in the film very well.
A Justice League movie should be the big payoff AFTER all of DC's other major heroes have been given films of their own. People say that it's "risky" to make a WW or Flash film, but it's somehow not risky to cast half a dozen superheroes and cram them all in one ultra-big-budget movie with minimal backstory? If Iron Man or the Fantastic Four can get their own movies, then so can the other leaguers.
If the WB can't get these other characters on film, then it can just not make a Justice League movie. I'd rather not see things get rushed.

The question is why do superhero movies with females bomb? Even when they have women at the helm they still bomb, so something is obviously going wrong. The first Tomb Raider was the only one remotely good and received a decent profit. Jolie probably had something to do with it, but the character, while easy on the eyes, actually wasn't all guns and boobs, but interesting to an extent.

There's nothing mysterious going on. These superheroine movies just sucked, and had bad writing, bad casting, and phony visual effects. I suppose maybe the filmmakers thought they could get away with these things because they had a hot babe.
The first Tomb Raider was the only one remotely good and received a decent profit. Jolie probably had something to do with it, but the character, while easy on the eyes, actually wasn't all guns and boobs, but interesting to an extent.
Thank you for mentioning this. It didn't just receive a decent profit, it was a hit, making $274 million in worldwide box office on a $115 million budget (Box Office Mojo). Critically, this was not a "decent" movie, scoring only 20% at Rotten Tomatoes. But it proves that female action hero movies can be financially successful.
Better examples are the two Kill Bill movies, which made $181 and $152 million worldwide on $30 million budgets. Not only did they make money, but they were also considered artistic successes, with both of them achieving 85% at Rotten Tomatoes.
It really annoys me when people act like female action movies will fail by default, because that's something which is completely disproven by the facts. To say that a movie will fail because its star has X chromosomes and breasts is just a shallow, stupid analysis. Even though a lot of these movies fail, Tomb Raider and Kill Bill have already shown that it can be done. But somebody on the internet says that superheroine movies will all fail, and then other fanboys just follow along and repeat that without thinking.

Megan Fox is an unproven actress and looks like a slut (not a strong, dignified princess, which is what WW is). Cast her and you'll just be casting for T&A. Then when the poorly-written and acted movie flops, people will just blame it on the female gender again.

It's the demographic problem. Who are the main audience for comic books anyway?? Boys.....who grow to be men. Boys don't emulate female superheroes.....thus the fan base is smaller for those characters. that translates to dollars at the movies. Even females are attracted to the male superhero. The "protector", the handsome, dashing guy who saves the day. Very few women look to the female hero as a protector.
Poor writing doesn't help. but I think the root cause is a social norm.

I don't buy that as an explanation. Sure, some guys may not want to go to a "girl's" movie. But movies like Kill Bill, Tomb Raider, and Charlie's Angels all appealed to guys, and were successful.
Guys want to see action and special effects, and they like to see hot women. A quality WW movie can draw in crowds of men with these things, and then wow them with a good story as well.
The common threads between CINO, Ultraviolet, etc. are bad writing, bad casting, bad acting, and bad visual effects. That's all the explanation you need.

We are way too fickle when it comes to this casting. Either she's not hot enough, or she's too hot. Or she can't act, but she looks good. Or she has good acting ability, but she's not tall enough and her tits aren't big enough. There's always something. I don't want her butt ugly, but she has to be able to act, she can't just phone this **** in.

WOW. WW's costume is basically a one-piece, HARDLY oversexed by today's standards. It wasn't considered slutty in the 60s or 70s either. Besides that, whether a girl looks like a slut or not depends a lot on how she appears to carry herself, and the image she gives off (through facial expressions, posture, makeup, etc). WW does NOT look like a slut. On the other hand, Megan Fox in that picture looks like a pornstar.

Truth be it known is that this has been going on for centuries and it stems from at least two different causes: bad expeiences with women, and a fear of a woman's power. Yeah, that's right, a large number of men subconciously still fear that if women are ever freed from their restrictions they will become the master of men. Female action heroes and, in particular, powerful comic book heroines, symbolize this premise (women who are freed from restrictions) and are of no real interest to most men. That is the real reason why these films don't do well. You only say that they were bad because you are just looking at the box office results. In truth there were millions of people who went to see these pictures. It is just that not enough went to see them to meet the studio's financial expectations (i.e. they spent too much money for the actual market). There is no and there really never will be such a thing as a good comic book heroine film so long as people still believe in chivalry and that men feel that a woman should always take a back seat to a them.
A successful WW movie can be made if the right people got together and actually tried to make a good movie that's faithful to the comics. Instead of hiring someone like Jessica Biel or Megan Fox and then focusing on the T&A at the expense of the story.
You will never get enough people to watch such a film and make a profit. History has proven that. You have no proof that that will work.
Introducing WW and other characters that the WB hasn't brought to the big screen yet (Flash, Green Lantern, J'onn J'onzz, Aquaman) in a Justice League movie first would be terrible IMO, and risk turning that movie into a shallow action fest that asks viewers to root for characters they don't even know.

And trust me, if a Justice League movie is ever made, Superman and Batman will receive the lion's share of the focus. There won't be time to flesh out the half dozen other characters in the film very well.
An ensemble cast is the only proven what that you can successfully make a comic book superheroine film (just look at" X-men", "Charlies Angels", and "Star Wars", "Star Trek", and "Lord of the Rings"). By filling out the female characters with male couterparts you give the audience the impression that they are just supporting cast members and give them the choice as to who is really in the lead role. An ensemble also helps out the weaker (sometimes male) characters since you can place a popular character (like Superman or Batman) in the film to draw the audience and then let them see the aspects of the weaker castmembers.
A Justice League movie should be the big payoff AFTER all of DC's other major heroes have been given films of their own. People say that it's "risky" to make a WW or Flash film, but it's somehow not risky to cast half a dozen superheroes and cram them all in one ultra-big-budget movie with minimal backstory? If Iron Man or the Fantastic Four can get their own movies, then so can the other leaguers.
Look at it this way. If I made cherry lolly pops I would only sell them to people who liked that flavor, but if I sold cherry, strawberry, lemon, orange and grape, I would sell that much more and lower my risk since I would be selling it to a larger market. This is what a film like "X-Men" did and is what a film like "Justice League" can do. You can not tell me that films like "The Dirty Dozen", "The Magnificent Seven", and "From Here to Eternity", which had all star ensemble casts were not great films and were risky.

Girls, grown women, comic fans, horny adult men, regular guys who AREN'T as hung up about "strong women" as some people in this thread claim, people who want to see an action-packed blockbuster movie, families, and fans of the 70s show. Even little boys will want to go see it if there's action and cool effects.
You won't even need to sell action figures to sell the movie. I don't know of any 300 or Blade toys, and those movies are way to violent for kids. Adults alone can carry the movie to success. It's not like kids even buy movie tickets. Their parents do.

Tomb Raider was a critically panned movie that still made a ton of money. People caught on to that, and the second film was not nearly as successful. Angelina Jolie also became too much of a "respected" actress for a cheesy franchise based on a video game.
Kill Bill was supposed to be one movie that got separated into two parts because it got too long. They told the story and that was that.
Nobody said they didn't want any more sequels because they just couldn't accept women in a leading role. :whatever:

And they wouldn't have done it without an ensemble cast. Also take note that you only need to appeal to a smaller audience on television (about 5 million or less roughly). If you want to make it on the big screen you have to appeal to a much larger audience (try a factor of 4).

Xena is as ensemble as Batman is.
Buffy, Agent Sydney Bristow and Ellen Ripley have ensemble but they do not outshine the superheroines.
Lara Croft, The Bride/Beatrix Kiddo and Selene are not ensemble superheroines.

Tomb Raider it technically not a comicbook superheroine. The first film drew from video gamers and Angelina Jolie fans not comicbook fanboys.
So what? A HELL of a lot more people have heard of Wonder Woman than Lara Croft. Wonder Woman had her own TV show. Jolie was also not the A-list star in 2001 that she is today. The role she had immediately preceding Tomb Raider was a girlfriend supporting role in Gone in Sixty Seconds.
The trend corrected itself in the second film though. You will not see any Tomb Raider films in the near future.
Which proves nothing. The first film already wasn't considered good, and was apparently lucky to make a lot of money off of people who didn't care to read reviews. People wised up the second time around, and the sequel wasn't good enough to turn around perceptions. So what?
And when she made "My Super Ex-girlfriend" what happened?
Yeah, use a poorly-reviewed ROMANTIC COMEDY as an example of superheroine films not working. Just because it parodies superhero movies doesn't mean it actually is a blockbuster superhero action film. :whatever:
"Kill Bill" was a success partly because it had an ensemble cast.
Yeah, people went to see the movie because it was an ENSEMBLE (supposedly according to YOU, I don't hear many other people describing it that way), and not because it was a well-reviewed movie with tons of gore and action.
It was also because it was directed by Tarantino who has a captured market of fans.
Tarantino is a geek fanboy favorite. He does not have a large "captured market of fans." Before Kill Bill, he directed a whopping three full movies:
Resevoir Dogs: $2.8 million
Pulp Fiction: $107.9 million
Jackie Brown: $39.7 million
Later, he made Grindhouse, which flopped by making a mere $25 million domestic on a $67 million budget.
Numbers are total domestic grosses, taken from Box Office Mojo (http://www.boxofficemojo.com/people/chart/?view=Director&id=tarantino.htm)
Pulp Fiction was his only huge hit before or after the Kill Bill movies. The fact that it was nominated for a multiple Academy Awards probably helped it a lot. But as you can see from Jackie Brown and Grindhouse's unremarkable earnings, Tarantino fanboys are not this huge force to be reckoned with.
The film also had misogynistic undertones in it.
Are you saying that these "misogynistic undertones" you noticed (whatever the hell they were) were a significant factor in Kill Bill's success?
I'm sure people went to see Kill Bill for the "misogynistic undertones" and "ensemble cast," and not because they heard it was a good action movie.
Even with that both you or I do not expect a film like Wonder Woman to be made from the mold of "Kill Bill".
And your point is? Make it in the mold of other good superhero movies, only make it undeniably WW.

So that explains why the film did so well the first time. It doesn't matter how many more people know Wonder Woman, statistics show that comic book super heroines do not do well in films unless they are in an ensemble cast. This might be the reason why the Wonder Woman project is on the back burner and the "Justice League" project is on the march.
Which proves nothing. The first film already wasn't considered good, and was apparently lucky to make a lot of money off of people who didn't care to read reviews. People wised up the second time around, and the sequel wasn't good enough to turn around perceptions. So what?
So according to what you just said "Laura Croft: Tomb Raider" was a fluke.
Yeah, use a poorly-reviewed ROMANTIC COMEDY as an example of superheroine films not working. Just because it parodies superhero movies doesn't mean it actually is a blockbuster superhero action film. :whatever:
Like I said before, they don't do well at the box office - even the poorly reviewed romantic comedies.
Yeah, people went to see the movie because it was an ENSEMBLE (supposedly according to YOU, I don't hear many other people describing it that way), and not because it was a well-reviewed movie with tons of gore and action.
I think I said that the film did well partly because it had an ensemble cast. I didn't say that people went to see it because it was an ensemble. Some might have gone to see Uma Thurman or Lucy Liu, or David Caradine, or Vivica Fox, or Daryl Hannah. There might have been a good number who went to see it to identify with the different genres, which was another reason why it did well. But in any case it did have an ensemble cast and it was successful.
Are you saying that these "misogynistic undertones" you noticed (whatever the hell they were) were a significant factor in Kill Bill's success?
No, I am just pointing out that "Kill Bill" is not a good example of how you should make a Wonder Woman film.
And your point is?
Female super heroine films do not do well at the box office. Only the ones with an ensemble cast have managed to do so. I don't care if you can bring up a couple exception, the odds are against any film in that genre being successful. This stems from the misogynistic nature of a lot of males (and this society).

So that explains why the film did so well the first time. It doesn't matter how many more people know Wonder Woman, statistics show that comic book super heroines do not do well in films unless they are in an ensemble cast.
So now you're just restricting this discussion to superheroine films that are based on an actual comic, and not movies that are basically in the same genre except for that one minor fact? I'm sure people give a crap that Kill Bill DIDN'T come from a comic.
You don't know crap about statistics. Going by YOUR artificial criteria here, how many actual comic book female action movies have been made? Elektra? That was a crappy spinoff to a Daredevil movie that people generally weren't very enthusiastic about in the first place. CINO? That wasn't even the actual character, and was rightfully killed by all the well-deserved bad buzz.
What irrefutable statistical proof.:whatever:
This might be the reason why the Wonder Woman project is on the back burner and the "Justice League" project is on the march.
Because Joss Whedon couldn't get his act together before being fired.
So according to what you just said "Laura Croft: Tomb Raider" was a fluke.
Which is still proof that moviegoers don't go "ew, GIRLS!" and run away from any action movie starring a main character with breasts.
Like I said before, they don't do well at the box office - even the poorly reviewed romantic comedies.
Your point is? My point is that using freaking Ex-Girlfriend is stupid.
I think I said that the film did well partly because it had an ensemble cast. I didn't say that people went to see it because it was an ensemble.

But in any case it did have an ensemble cast and it was successful.
Do you SERIOIUSLY believe "names" like David Carradine, Vivica Fox, or Daryl Hannah (who was a serious sex symbol...20 years ago) were box office draws? :whatever:

You are seriously deluded if you don't see the fact that most of these superheroine movies were just bad movies that were hated by critics, audiences, and fanboys alike.
Kill Bill was successful, and (surprise!) it got good reviews.

I find it hilarious that people question WONDER WOMAN'S popularity, when Marvel apparently has enough faith in freaking Iron Man to get a reputable cast for it and make it their big movie for 2008.

I bought the sunday paper today and looked at the TV guide. This person caught my eye, so I looked her up on the internet. Her name is Jolene Anderson.
Anderson is an actress recently cast in the role of a nurse in the Australian medical drama "All Saints". Apparently this is her first major acting role.
As far as I know she was born in 1980, is a trained dancer, studied at the Actors Centre Australia, is physically active and is into swimming.
I have heard that she was on the show "It Takes Two" on Channel 7, apparently besting all the other celebrities. I didn't watch the show until today, albeit on the YouTube.
There are video clips of her singing in "It Takes Two" on YouTube, if anyone wants to look.
There was a recent photoshoot that involved the entire "All Saints" cast. From the look of it I am guessing she is about 5'9" ish, as I'm using another cast member in that particular pic, Alexandra Davies, as a reference point. Davies is 5'9". Someone with the knowledge can clarify that detail if they can, because I can't find a single reference to her height at all. If she's below this height then I'll be crushed:(

The ideal WW actress would probably have to that young right now for a movie franchise to work in the future. WW will not come out next year (as an example, Iron Man is, and they've been doing actual work on that movie for a while now), and will probably not be coming out for several years. They will be looking to make a trilogy (most likely 3 years between each movie), as well as to put her in Justice League movies after that.
Even an actress who's 25 now may be in her late 30s by the time a hypothetical third movie comes out.
For a character who's supposed to be immortal, they can't have anybody who looks older than a young thirty-something in any of the movies.

Certainly nothing wrong with that.
By just simply going off appearance, I wouldnt say she's a bad choice to be quite honest. Thank you for throwing in a new name into the hat. Of course alot of us have our favourites, but it's a good thing to keep an open mind with this type of project.

I would never argue that he is as well known a character as WW is now. After the movie might be a whole other story. I myself don't see her being that big of a draw. Not because of the character herself, just the bad taste in peoples mouths from Cino and Elektra. I think DC should stick to bringing someone like Green Lantern or Flash. Or better yet, a Superman movie with an actual super villain that will involve some serious city destroying fights with supes.

Judging by how Terry Dodson draws Wonder Woman, Angelia Jolie would be my first choice. All you need to do is dye her hair black. She has the acting and phycial part for Wonder Woman thanks to her other movies. She is also very attractive which Wonder Woman is supposed to be. Here is how she should look like for the movie.
Sorry for spelling and grammer.

Though it will never happen, I would cast Katherine Heigl either in the upcoming JLA movie or a WW movie. Not because she's a rising star right now, I imagined her for the role ever since I saw "Roswell" back in '02. She has the right age and natural body to play a sexy but mature woman (at least right now).

Just thought I post a little interview here. Nothing mind-altering or earth shattering.http://www.ew.com/ew/article/0,,20049318,00.html
''I couldn't stand the idea of one more person asking me who was going to play Wonder Woman,'' says director Joss Whedon, explaining why he — a perennial Comic-Con favorite — didn't pop up on a panel in 2006. Now unlassoed (javascript:openLink('/ew/article/0,,20010831,00.html','_new')) from said movie project, Whedon last week returned to speak at the Nerd Prom, unleashing a spate of projects — a number of them Buffy-related — to orgiastic effect. Among the crowd-pleasers: Ripper, a 90-minute TV movie for the BBC about Buffy's watcher, Giles; Goners, his original movie for Universal that's still in development and presently in rewrites; Cabin in the Woods, a horror movie coscripted with Drew Goddard (Cloverfield) that he's shopping around; and two comics, a Buffy ''season 9'' story arc and a Serenity miniseries. As Comic-Con wound down, Whedon sat down with EW to elaborate on his breakup with Wonder Woman, his larger designs for the Buffyverse, and how Comic-Con helps him forget about his day job.
ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: You mentioned during your panel that it's been a rough couple of years. Are you speaking, in particular, of your aborted Wonder Woman movie?
JOSS WHEDON: I in no way want this to be a slam on Warner Bros., but the fact of the matter is, it was a waste of my time. We never [wanted] to make the same movie; none of us knew that. And it was a waste of their time because I had a lot of trouble writing — not just writing that, but writing at all. Part of it had to do with having just finished Serenity. I ran into James Gunn, who'd just done his first film, Slither. And he was like, ''The director in me killed the writer in me.'' And we fell on each other. It was like finding a support group. After you direct and edit something, you just realize everything is negotiable. The line that you died for, you pull without hesitation because [the script] seems a little long. He was like, ''Every time I sit down to write I think, Is this even going to make it in?'' And you can't write like that.
Joel Silver bought another Wonder Woman script while you were still on the project. Did you see that coming?
I was warned by a friend that it was happening. And I was already well aware that people were not liking what I was doing. So I don't feel like I was blindsided. I sent them an outline for a new draft that I felt was exactly what I wanted, and they didn't want to do it. Joel told me that. And I was like, ''Can you tell me what they want? Can you tell me what they don't like?'' The answer was ''No.'' Then I was like, ''Okay, but I'm certainly not going to start from scratch.''

Some plot points from Whedon's Wonder Woman.
http://www.avclub.com/content/interview/joss_whedon
VC: Can you say anything about the plot you had in mind for your version of the film?
JW: Well, I'll tell you one thing that sort of exemplifies my feelings. The idea was always that she's awesome, she's fabulous, she's strong, she's beautiful, she's well-intentioned, she thinks she's a great big hero, and it's Steve Trevor's job to go, "You don't understand human weakness, therefore you are not a hero, and you never will be until you're as helpless as we are. Fight through that, and then I'll be impressed. Until then, I'm just going to give you **** in a romantic-comedy kind of way."
There was talk about what city she was in and stuff, but by the end, she had never actually set foot in America. Wonder Woman isn't Spider-man or Batman. She doesn't have a town, she has a world. That was more interesting to me than a kind of contained, rote superhero franchise. I think ultimately the best way I can describe the kind of movie I was wanting to make—it was a fun adventure, not gritty, or insanely political, or anything like that. There was meat to the idea of, "Well, why aren't you guys better? What's up with that?" Her lack of understanding of how this world has come to this pass.
My favorite thing was the bracelets. I mean, the bracelets are cool, but how do I make that work? In the original comic book, they needed them because they fire guns on Paradise Island. I don't think I'm going there. So, I thought about it for a while, and I realized, "Oh, right, this is how this works." So in my version, she left Paradise Island with Steve, who was a world-relief guy bringing medical supplies to refugees, which is why he was so desperate to get off the island. She goes with him, and the moment she sets foot on land outside of Paradise Island, somebody shoots her in the chest. And it hurts. [Laughs.] She's just so appalled. And obviously, she heals within a few hours. She pulls the bullet out herself, and kind of looks at it like, "What the hell is this?" She heals, but she's appalled and humiliated, and the next time someone shoots at her, she puts her bracelet in the way because she's terrified of getting shot. It's just a reflexive thing. She has these bands that they all wear, just a piece of armor, and she puts it up. And then she gets good at it. By the end, it's kind of her thing, but it's because she got shot one time and didn't think that it was awesome. I think that is probably not the feeling the producers wanted to have. Though honestly, that could have been their favorite thing. I don't know, because when I asked Joel Silver, point blank, "Well, if they don't want what I'm doing, what do they want?" he said, "They don't know."

There are a number of actresses who have the potential of securing the spot of Wonder Woman. Many variables will factor in to who is chosen.
Looks and height are an integral part to a degree, but availability, as well as cohesion with the rest of the potential cast will be a determinant as well.
5'6 will likely be as short as the studios will go. However, 5'8 is a fine choice to work with.
I don't envision a WW film being made until after a JL film. I believe that the JL film will actually showcase WW to a large fanbase, and that will ultimately be the deciding factor as to moving forward with a spin-off film.
Steelsheen
08-09-2007, 06:51 AM
5'6 is too short any which way you shoot it, specially if the first time WW hits the bigscreen is next to a real tall guy like Routh. hell 5'8 is already bare minimum here, and i bet you she'll still look so much shorter than Routh (Routh btw, is a real 6'3 guy, but by Hollywood standards of padding height, he'd be 6'5).
i know its tough finding a competent enough actress with good height, but i firmly believe there are women like that out there, its just the question of looking for the right one.

By the end, it's kind of her thing, but it's because she got shot one time and didn't think that it was awesome. I think that is probably not the feeling the producers wanted to have. Though honestly, that could have been their favorite thing. I don't know, because when I asked Joel Silver, point blank, "Well, if they don't want what I'm doing, what do they want?" he said, "They don't know."
thanks for posting these interviews. i closely followed the WW developement and all the hearsays and rumours finally has some validity with this. it breaks my heart but hey, that life.

no not nightwing,robin, and i dont really want megan anymore, i just got no other avatar to use. But seriously, Diaz isnt that good. Though i wouldnt want her as WW, i like swank and shes a great actress, but Diaz, as someone said, plays basically the same role. I like diaz in some of her movies though.

5'6 is too short any which way you shoot it, specially if the first time WW hits the bigscreen is next to a real tall guy like Routh. hell 5'8 is already bare minimum here, and i bet you she'll still look so much shorter than Routh (Routh btw, is a real 6'3 guy, but by Hollywood standards of padding height, he'd be 6'5).
I mean, she'll be wearing heels... This is Hollywood man. It doesn't take much to create the illusion that Supes is 6'3" Bats is 6'2" and WW is 5'11".

WW is 6 feet tall.
thats why i said the bare minimum is 5'8, you add 3 inch heels that brings her up to 5'11, (still a little short but should do). but trust me when i say that no woman would want to do running or jumping on 3 inch heels. they're gonna insist on the flat heeled boots when they can. and the height difference will show, at one point or another.
if you get an actress thats 5'6, on 3 inch heels she'll come up to 5'9, compare that to 6'2 Bale (with cowl) or 6'3 Routh (w/o boots). she'll come up short, and unless she has this special quality about her that could convey the presence of an Amazon, a short pretty chick is a short pretty chick, not an Amazon and not Wonder Woman.

A beautiful woman who's 6ft. (or close I.E. 5'10/5'11) usually aspire to become models rather than actresses. Fortunately, or unfortunately.

Because Hollywood is often youth obsessed. And it's a bit more probable to think WB would be considering someone unknown/younger for the role in a possible franchise like this. Which I don't particularly agree with, but that's the way it goes. If and if it's decided for Bale to have a contemporary in Wonder Woman, my vote is definately Jennifer Connelly.

Karen Cliche, Mackenzie Previn of Adventure Inc.,was born July 22, 1976, in Quebec, Canada. Karen stands nice and tall at a towering 5'9" (I would say that qualifies as an "Amazonian Stance"). Still, she decided that she wanted to be an actress as opposed to a model. She has a personal obsession for Marilyn Monroe, and was raised a tomboy - schweet!

The only ones choices from the poll I like so far are Tsianina Joelson and Morena Baccarin.
I also thought about Monica Dean, even if she doesn't portrait Wonder Woman she would be great as Queen Hippolyta:

I've thought Monica Dean was perfect for the role of WW ever since I saw her on Lost a few years ago. Too bad the movie isn't being made. After Monica hit the weight room she would have been the ideal WW.

I don't know if someone has mention this woman before:
Her name is Krista Coyle, she has the looks to be a great wonder woman, i know the only problem has to do with her acting experience but did Christopher reeve had any real acting experience before he "became" Superman? I have to say that acting can be coached with the right director and a well-written script.
She's 5' 9
Eye Color:Blue
Ethnicity:Caucasian
I haven't found anything about her age.

Ok you got a point, he had tertiary study, but if we really think about it, he had minor roles before Superman (2 movies), and he won his first award (BAFTA) in 1979. So he was an unknown before Superman.

They did the auditions for the wonder woman movie! (since it is out next year)
These people are considered:
Sandra bullock
Catherine zeta-jones
Eva longoria
and considered to be wondergirl and troia:
Lindsay Lohan (wonder girl)
Jennifer Connelly (troia)
Ashley tisdale (wonder girl)
Rose Mcgowan (troia)

Believe me, she has the depth of maturity required for the role if given an opportunity. I've seen her work on-screen, and I've been impressed with her performances and ability to adapt to the roles she has been given.
She had amazing chemistry on-screen with Jared Padalecki from Supernatural (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0761316/), and many people would have liked to have seen her join the cast if possible. She was that good in one episode alone.
Taylor Cole would do the role justice, and be a great asset on a Wonder Woman film playing the lead role if provided the opportunity. She would not disappoint the fans. The real question is how good would the material be. Taylor Cole would do a great job with her performance, but could only act within the confines of the script and the direction given to her.
