Uh... sorry don't think so. HUge MB fan. I got most of her foreign movies off eBay. She can act.
really? Have you seen "Agents secrets", her last one? Maybe, she was nearly ok in that, nearly.
Have you seen "Ricordati di me" or her early movies like "I Mitici" or "La Riffa", which was shot in my birthtown 13 years ago, where I saw her live for the first time?
Look she's still a gorgeous woman, but she's far from being a good actress.

[ultimatefan]

The problem I see with casting WW is that clearly there isn´t a clearly ideal choice that everybody can agree with out there... Looks like every fan has their own choices, so whoever gets the part, there´s gonna be mucho bitsching and moaning... We don´t have a female Christian Bale, the kinda person that looks taylor-made for the role.

[SolidRoar]

They keep mentioning that the movie will be based on the old TV show. I expected something bigger and better. :(

Aye i like Vincent Cassel too so i quite liked Agents Secrets. He is pretty cool but his accent screws him with Hollywood. I've got La Riffa too but not the other two yet. See now i'm all jealous that you met her. :p

See for the vast majority of people Bellucci is WW's Bale... but then the age thing gets in the way and people convince the supporters that she is too old.

Meh... Connelly dammit. :p

[SolidRoar]

I fear we're all gonna be disappointed in the end. The only way they're gonna have an A-lister is if the movie took an epic fantasy direction. But when I hear "Whedon", "SMG or Carpenter" and "70's TV show", I get discouraged. :(

I met her twice and last month a close relative was in the medical equipe (team?)that helped her deliver the baby girl...
The same doctors that a couple of weeks later helped my sister in delivering my nephew Davide.

[pimpernel]

They both suck as WW. WW is supposed to look perfect and Gellar has that funny nose and is too wee and soetimes looks kinda skanky.

Charisma Carpenter just plain can't act. Trust me... Angel is my fave TV show but the lady can't act. She can do funny and sarcastic, but ask her to do an emotional scene and its like watching a fish flopping around out of water.

Eliza is slightly better but she looks kinda girly.

The only woman to appear in a Whedon show that even comes close to WW material is whatsername that played Jennie Calendar. But no.

[pimpernel]

They keep mentioning that the movie will be based on the old TV show. I expected something bigger and better. :(

Please tell me you're shietting me? I love WW but i downright refuse to watch it if its gonna be based on that. Thats like basing Batman Begins on the Adam West TV show. :( :( :(

Me too. We SHOULD be getting a greek myth version of Superman:TM... but i've said all along we are actually gonna get CHarlie's Angels with powers. :mad:

Thanks. If you happen to be in Rome at the same time as Monica maybe we can arrange a meeting.. :p

I want Charisma Carpenter as Wonder Woman so good news to me. And Joss will deliver a good Wonder Woman adaptation.

It's too bad that DC feels the need to fill out their superhero films with a camp element. One would think they would learn from Marvel. Granted, Batman is not going to be camp, but I think that has more to do with the influence of the writers and director than anything else. I love Superman, but I cringe when I think of the possibilities of Singer putting in the camp element, and after hearing of what DC/WB were going to do with GL and Jack Black a while back, and now Wonder Woman being based off of the television series, and I won't even mention CINO (oops, I did), it's more a set back than anything else to the potential of what could be genuinely good films.

Let's not also forget that there are generally no happy endings in Whedon's universe. You won't see Wonder Woman find happiness, or in a relationship that works. Whedon has proven that in both Buffy and Angel.

[pimpernel]

I think her name is Robia La Morte.

Aye there ya go. :up:

That pick has got to be from a good 7-8 years ago minimum. She'd probably be pretty lousy IMO. I was SOOOO into her when Buffy was first on, couldn't take my eyes off. But she lost it around the same time Angel got bad.

[Slipping_Halo]

A few of you have wondered if Connelly would take the role if offered. Here's what I think.


She is ALWAYS getting type-casted as the girlfriend of someone with serious problems, "HULK" "A Beautiful Mind" or as someone with serious problems herself "House of Sand and Fog" or both "Requiem for a Dream". I think she'd jump at the chance to do something she is obviously a fan favorite for as Christian Bale was for Batman and also to do something she's never done.
Her kid would love it also, I'm sure.

She's an award-winning actress, she's beautiful, as shown before somewhere up there she's got the eyes, and she'd definitely be down for it in my opinion because it's something new that appeals to a much wider audience and gives her a chance to be a role model (despite what she's wearing, little kids will want to see this movie...it's never been a problem before, so cut it out with the whore schit) to children as well as giving her a role where action is involved. There's no friggin way she can't do it. Check out "The House of Sand and Fog" and tell me honestly that she doesn't look as beautiful as ever; and she plays a friggin drug addict in the movie. Imagine if she toned up and got actually prepared for this role. I'm sure she'd love to do it after getting type-casted so much.

What we Connelly for WW fans need is a REAL picture, not a manip. We need somehow for her to get involved in the movie and tried out in full costume with a photograph to be released to the public. Then all the naysayers will shut up, I'm sure, as they witness the comic book character embodied in real life just like Christopher Reeve as Superman before her. Not that it will ever happen, but that would seriously help our case. Send letters to WB, tell them how badly we want Connelly for the role. Her knowledge of how much we love her for it will tip her closer to doing it, in my opinion. So why don't we get to it.

Oh, and that thing about her having to be pure and not have kids is a crock of schit. Carmen Elektra, Jenny McCarthy and the like are the furthest you could be from pure, but we still beat it to them mercilessly. Having a kid would be the purest thing Carmen Elektra and the like could do. So cut the crap.

BOOYA

:up: :up: :up:

I don't think we really need to get on it tho. Whenever i hear WW mentioned in magazines or newspapers they always say that Bellucci or Connelly should get the role, so somehow there is already this vague general knowledge connecting her to the part.
As for her taking the part... i think she probably would for the exact reasons you said. You always hear actors saying they wanna do big blockbuster stuff like this cos it allows them to relax and be more picky about their other roles. I read pretty much the same thing just before Hulk came out, but that movie didn't give her the huge boost she was expecting, so i think she would jump at WW. Also, she doesn't really make stuff her kid can watch and sooner or later ALL parents cave and make at least one kid-friendly movie. And she clearly has no problems with genre stuff (Labrynth, Rocketeer, Dark City, Hulk, Dark Water).
Its annoying that she has mostly tried to stay covered up since she became a mum, cos it has led to some people doubting she still has the figure. Go watch Waking The Dead, Requiem For A Dream and House Of Sand And Fog tho and you can see she clearly still has a killer body. Manips are the best we can do right now, but IMO ANY photo of her just proves how right she is for this.

[Slipping_Halo]

i'm glad to hear that she's being connected to the role. no doubt it's because she's a fan favorite. in that case lets just keep it up, maybe our dreams will come true. i wouldn't be able to stomach minnie driver in a wonder woman outfit knowing how good connelly would have been in it. if connelly isn't picked, i'm seriously probably not going to go see this movie. i'll wait for HBO.

[dpm07]

I think Jennifer Connelly would be a decent choice. Here are a couple of things to note:

- She is already 34 years old. She is over the 30 mark that Hollywood generally looks at for a female.
- Definitely has an interesting ethnic mix as she is part Irish, Polish, Norwegian, and Russian
- Could people distance her from The Hulk? If that movie gets greenlit for a sequel, will they replace her or could she do The Hulk and WW?
- At 5'8, she definitely has the height, and has the skillset as an athletic swimmmer and gymnast. These are her mediums of personal exercise.
- Without a doubt she is a great actress as this has been evidenced in so many films

[Dark Knight]

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

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

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


i agree.....this film is easy to cast IMO. Connelly all the way...she is a name, and solid actress who bring alot to the role, beautiful (her eyes scream Diana) doesn't have have a huge ego, is not overhyped ala Zeta-Jones. Plus she still looks like she is in her late 20's. Going with an unknown actress would be a mistake....i want credibility, and someone who can act great and bring intensity and strong emotion to the role of Diana. Connelly can certainly do that! All she has to do is tone up that hot body of hers and get in great great shape.

[Dark Knight]

See for the vast majority of people Bellucci is WW's Bale... but then the age thing gets in the way and people convince the supporters that she is too old.

Meh... Connelly dammit. :p


Belluci and Moss are wrong for the role. Perhaps they would be good as Hippolyta but not Diana. This is not difficult people....Connelly all the way!

[Dark Knight]

Me too. We SHOULD be getting a greek myth version of Superman:TM... but i've said all along we are actually gonna get CHarlie's Angels with powers. :mad:


me also. I want to see greek myth version in the beginning at least and then see her wind up in America later in the film....

[Dark Knight]

The problem I see with casting WW is that clearly there isn´t a clearly ideal choice that everybody can agree with out there... Looks like every fan has their own choices, so whoever gets the part, there´s gonna be mucho bitsching and moaning...

great points..and i agree. if the script is right..i'm sure she would jump at the chance to be Diana. i just Whedon makes her costume more of a amazonian battle armor type suit instead of a spandex costume. I hope it is like a brownish golden color that does not have have all the glitter and primary colors. Cause on film it would look kinda cheesy.

not a decent choice...but the ideal choice....

[Paradoxium]

Neither of them are going to get it. Like it was said before SMG even said hereself she is all wrong for the role and would not persue it. This is just a cheesey zine that has no clue about the Wonder Woman character and thus is trying to put 1 and 1 together to get 2.

Whedon would go for an unknown more than likely.

[RAMORE]

Since when did charisma pose for playboy? Out of 2 i would take carpenter but i'd rather someone else.

The hype must have forgotten to post the rest of the TV Guide story

Whedon tapped for 'Wonder Woman' flick

LOS ANGELES, -- The mastermind of "Buffy the Vampire Slayer"
has reportedly been tapped to develop "Wonder Woman" for the
big screen, TV Guide Online reports. Warner Bros. is close
to signing Joss Whedon to write and direct the long-planned
adventure film. The deal -- which is reportedly nearly signed
-- comes only two months after Whedon announced he was leav-
ing the TV biz to focus on the silver screen. His next effort,
he said, is a film based on the Firefly TV series called
"Serenity." Meanwhile, there's no word who will play "Wonder
Woman," the role created by Lynda Carter on TV.

So hang on... is that the only reason people are saying the movie is gonna be based off the TV show? Cos it says so there? If so then relax cos that article is just crap, like Para said.
Its just a crappy magazine trying to connect dots with no real knowledge of the character.

[Hunter Rider]

I'm not a WW fan as ive only read her in jla and cameo's in bats/supes but are there any actual WW fans on here who have read the books as ive never seen so many cast a model suggestions in my life.I hope they cast a proper actress whether it's belluci/connely/moss.on the whole gellar/carpenter thing well...charisma may be a good choice but gellars to small.WW is an amazon

Uhuh... i am that rare thing: a WW fan. Got a few pf the TPBs and the Ultimate Guide and stuff. I like the mythology aspect of the character a lot... sets her apart IMO.
Anyways i'm a fan which is why i get annoyed at the crappy model suggestions. Obviously most people think the character is a joke so its OK to cast any crap actress so long as she is hot... well i want better than that. I am really hoping this will do for WW what Batman 89 did for Batman... totally erase the memory of the cheesy TV show and reinvent the character on screen as the iconic and more serious character she should be.

well i'm with you there as i think i'm right in saying she is probably the most famous and longest running female superhero character there is so to make wwino would be a disgrace........I think they may well cast moss as silver is the producer and if they stick to her origin it would work better.but it definately needs a proper actress not just some hot girl that looks a bit like her.

[pimpernel]

Obviously i would prefer Connelly but i think Moss is a real contender right now for the following reasons:

1) Silver is producing.
2) She looks the part.
3) She is the perfect age for it.
4) She can act.
5) She is good at action.
6) Hollywood likes her.

What they need to do is gut WW. I'm a huge fan and even i wouldn't mind them doing it. Just plain get rid of half of the origin for starters. It is way too long and contrived and cheesy and needs to be stripped down. Get rid of the Cavewoman thing. Get rid of the previous WWs. Get rid of the trial by bullets. Get rid of that bloody Trevors woman crashing on the island years before. None of it is needed.

[Metamorpho1977]

There was a mention in one of these "cast wonder woman" threads a while back of Megan Gale. Not sure of her acting credentials, but Wonder Woman seems like a role kind of like Superman that would benefit from an unknown actress. Personally I'd prefer a real actress for the role too. Megan Gale I'm suggesting mostly on looks, but also for the unknown factor. She definitely has the exotic look that Wonder Woman should possess. I'm a Wonder Woman fan from way back too. I want to see a proper movie made that will respect the history and power of the character.

well i'll take your word on the best way to adapt her story and i agree with your reasoning behind moss is solid (belluci is my pick) but i was wondering.......all superhero movies need a good villain so who would you choose for ww ?

[Darko]

Tsianina Joelson for Wonder Woman.

[pimpernel]

Depends on the villain and on who they cast as WW.

Ares is the top villain and i think i'd use Udo Kier...
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v310/simonpimpernel/uwuw.jpg
I'd go nasty and creepy with him rather than hard-as-nails kick-ass. Let the armour do a lot of the work.

Next villain should be Fury, cos there is a great dramatic arc that comes with her. I think Jolene Blalock would be perfect...
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v310/simonpimpernel/Image7.jpghttp://img.photobucket.com/albums/v310/simonpimpernel/Image3.jpg

Final villain i'd probably want would be Circe. I'd kinda like to see Lisa Marie as Circe...
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v310/simonpimpernel/lm1.jpg

Those are probably the ones i'd use in the movies, along with a smattering of mythological beasties and stuff.

not a decent choice...but the ideal choice....
I'm sorry. I probably should have rephrased myself. Sure, I believe she is definitely an ideal choice. However, would DC/WB think this also, as well as Whedon? Unfortunately, we don't have the ability to cast the actress, only contribute our ideal choices (ala Connelly). One thing I do not want to see, and that is Connelly performing as Wonder Woman in a camp film. She deserves better than this (Connelly)

[The Batman]

You're wrong but thanks for the input.

Actually, I'm right, and I never say that about myself. Drop your overblown ego and realize it. You're not a casting director, you're a FANBOY.

[Captain Wonder]

Wonder Woman: Carmen Electra

Ares: Sala Baker

Circe: Cher

[The Batman]

wow....thats just...

Cher as circe....

.........

who did you suggest ?

[The Batman]

I didnt suggest anyone, because I know whoever i choose is because she's hot and i want to see her in the wonder woman costume. there, i've just admitted what everyone here is afraid to admit.

[Hunter Rider]

I didnt suggest anyone, because I know whoever i choose is because she's hot and i want to see her in the wonder woman costume. there, i've just admitted what everyone here is afraid to admit.okay then but wouldn't you prefer someone who's hot and can act so we don't get wwino ?

[SolidRoar]

Whedon would go for an unknown more than likely.That's what I think they should do. Go with an unknown. Everyone seems to just randomly cast the hottest woman of their dreams. There are some not bad suggestions, but unfortunately, the actresses are older than the target age. I'd cast someone around 25yo - not too young, not too old.

[The Batman]

okay then but wouldn't you prefer someone who's hot and can act so we don't get wwino ?


I'd prefer it if people would:

1. Stop suggesting casting choices that are too old

2. European actresses who cant act

3. Hot pieces of ass of just happen to have black hair.

4. Act anal retentive when it comes to casting Wonder Woman, who's a FICTIONAL CHARACTER by the way, and badger others about their casting choices, because thiers is sooo much better...

That's what makes up 90% of this thread....

Well I wasn't badgering you i was just wondering what you thought,As for casting choices that are to old what age would you suggest ?
and if by european actressess that can't act you mean belluci.....well have you seen her in irreversible or tears of the sun or brotherhood of the wolf ?

[The Batman]

I'm not talking about you....I'm talking about people saying certain casting choices are bad just because a persons not Wonder Woman's height, not greek, or they're blonde. Because eveyone knows for certain that they're using her complicated Greek origin in the movie.

A right choice for Wonder Woman would be someone from 25-34. Most of the choices here are too old, yet most people over look that because they're so hopelessely in love with their choice.

And Monica, without a shadow of a doubt, fits the first category.

http://videoeta.com/person/1154


but i'm not against other choices, i agree that there is hair spray so if the right blonde actress came along then they could use her but i do think WW should be played by a real actress and not some model.

[Sardaukar]

Let me make this clear:

Anyone older than 29 will never be considered for this role.

[Head>On<Collider]

Let me make this clear:

Anyone older than 29 will never be considered for this role.especially if they go with an unknown/ especially if they want someone smokin'.........

[Sardaukar]

They want the actress who plays WW to have as long a "shelf life" as possible in case there are sequels. Plus, younger actresses tend to get paid a hell of a lot less.

This means:

NO Charisma Carpenter
NO Monica Belluci
NO Carmen Electra
NO Jennifer Connelly
NO Carrie-Anne Moss
NO Lucy Lawless

So stop dreaming, plz.

[pimpernel]

Actually, I'm right, and I never say that about myself. Drop your overblown ego and realize it. You're not a casting director, you're a FANBOY.

Wow... that was un-necessarily sarcastic. And you AREN'T right BTW... you don't have to be a casting director to see if someone is good enough for a role or not. You seem to be a Batman fan... fair enough... now just try to accept that someone might actually give a damn about the WW character as much as you care about Bats.

[pimpernel]

I didnt suggest anyone, because I know whoever i choose is because she's hot and i want to see her in the wonder woman costume. there, i've just admitted what everyone here is afraid to admit.

Not everyone is doing that. If i was gonna do that i'd most definately be pushing for Bellucci as WW. I'm not. I'm pushing for Connelly cos she is the most like WW and she is a terrific actress.

[pimpernel]

Let me make this clear:

Anyone older than 29 will never be considered for this role.

I don't think that is true. I've repeatedly said that if you look at who people like Connelly or Bellucci or Moss or Zeta Jones are cast opposite, its the kinda of guys that are being put in superhero movies. If they are not considered too old to be the love interest for superheros then they are not too old to be superheros. What counts also is how old they LOOK. Movie stars generally look a wee bit younger than regular folks, and in particular Connelly doesn't look a day past 30. It really all depends on the director and the vision of the movie. If they go for a crappy Charlie's Angels superfilm then aye i agree we will get some 25 yo model. But if they go for a "real" quality movie like BB or Superman then they go for a talented actress that is right for the role, and they will open up the age range. Look at Superman... they want Caviezel for chrissakes.

See i agree about the shelf-life but i disagree on your view of who qualifies for that shelf-life. The film is Wonder WOMAN and i don't think some girly 25yo should get the role.

[Head>On<Collider]

I think Dana Hamm would be ssssooooooooooo friggin' hot!

[Sardaukar]

See i agree about the shelf-life but i disagree on your view of who qualifies for that shelf-life. The film is Wonder WOMAN and i don't think some girly 25yo should get the role.
Uh, last I checked, womanhood arrives at 18.

[Red Mask]

It's like trying to cast the Venus de Milo. We're giving life to something that's immortal and subjective. This is why I prefer WB chooses an unknown actress. She won't come with the excess baggage of her previous work and studios can truly judge her on her skills.

But she has to be tall and fit for the role.

[Darko]

Tsianina Joelson!!!!!:mad::up:

[pimpernel]

Uh, last I checked, womanhood arrives at 18.

Yeah... but look at how many women in their late twenties play high-school kids cos they are so girly-faced. Thats the point. Someone who looks so young shouldn't be playing Wonder WOMAN.
And technically "womanhood" arrives at puberty.

[Dark Knight]

I'm sorry. I probably should have rephrased myself. Sure, I believe she is definitely an ideal choice. However, would DC/WB think this also, as well as Whedon?

One thing I do not want to see, and that is Connelly performing as Wonder Woman in a camp film. She deserves better than this (Connelly)

yeah...i agree....i'm sure Connelly wouldn't be a part of it if the script was a crappy campfest film....with Silver producing, i would highly doubt it.

i don't think Connelly is too old...34 is not old....and Connelly doesn't look 34 she still looks around 28 or 29.

[pimpernel]

Y'know i was just thinking... Joel Silver... Kiera Knightly... god i ****ing hope not but its a strong possibility with him on board... and for some reason Hollywood LOVES her. :rolleyes:

*cough*over-rated*cough*

Oh no....so according to you we may get Eliza Dushku?? Nothing wrong with dreaming.....i want Wonder Woman....and Connelly screams Diana. It would be a shame if Whedon pulls a Singer and decides not to even give a good actress a chance at the role. IF there are sequels....then i still don't think Connelly would be too old for the part. One film at a time fellas.....

Tsianina Joelson is the best choice. She is practically an unknown actress like Brandon Routh (The actor cast as Superman) and has the physical capabilities required for the role of Wonder Woman, she's also one fine ass brunnette, and a good actress.:cool::up:

[Hunter Rider]

LOL...well i'm not that convinced on connely as she has no stunt expierience and the role will call for physicality but she would work without a doubt.

1)monica
2)moss
3)CZJ
4)connely

but any of the above could work as long as it's not a model;)

[pimpernel]

See, I'm not so sure about that last part. I never saw her acting. If she's a good actress, then I hope they cast her.

Personally i'm not all that keen on her look or age, but if they are going younger and IF SHE CAN ACT then she would be a pretty good choice. Better than a lot of names mentioned.

Someone suggest Megan Gale too. She definately has the look and doesn't seem TOO young but i checked her bio on IMDB and she seems to have only ever acted as herself, which doesn't inspire confidence.

[Metamorpho1977]

wow....thats just...

Cher as circe....

.........
and on top of that, they're almost the same age.

[The Techno Bat]

http://hedda.television-series.com/varia.jpg

The more and more I think about it I think that Tsianina Joelson would be a great choice to play Wonder Woman. I have read a few of the members here, throw her name out and really thought about it; over the other actresses that are being thrown out there, and this one makes the most sense to me. She can act, she is beautiful, and would be perfect.

Actresses like Catherine Zeta Jones, Jennifer Aniston, Sandra Bullock, and even Jennifer Connely don't seem to be all that realistic and believable in that type of role.

Somebody mentioned Lucy Lawless and she could work but I see her playing a role like Big Barda if they ever had Big Barda and Mr. Mircle in a movie...

That's my two cents worth...

[Captain Wonder]

1. Carmen Electra
2. Julie Strain
3. Geena Davis
4. Lucy Lawless
5. Angelina Jolie
6. Krista Allen
7. Alana De La Garza
8. Charlize Theron
9. Famke Janssen
10. Monica Bellucci
11. Demi Moore
12. Catherine Zeta Jones
13. Charisma Carpenter
14. Liv Tyler
15. Kate Beckinsale
16. Brooke Burns

[The Techno Bat]

1. Carmen Electra- can't act
2. Julie Strain- don't know her
3. Geena Davis- too old
4. Lucy Lawless- perhaps, better off playing Big Barda
5. Angelina Jolie- Not doing it for me
6. Krista Allen- don't know her
7. Alana De La Garza- don't know her
8. Charlize Theron- Doesn't look the part
9. Famke Janssen- too old
10. Monica Bellucci- doesn't do it for me
11. Demi Moore- too old
12. Catherine Zeta Jones- has the look, but don't see her pulling it off
13. Charisma Carpenter- possibly
14. Liv Tyler- ahh maybe
15. Kate Beckinsale- possibly
16. Brooke Burns- can't act.

What about Tsianina Joelson ? Her name has been thrown around alot in the thread

[RAMORE]

Moran Atias...I don't care if she speaks the language or if she can act.

[pimpernel]

She is hot but she has never acted.

[RAMORE]

I said i didn't care. We can do voice overs...right...it could work please make it work pimpernel.

[Captain Wonder]

what about a stuntwoman with Lynda Carter providing the voice?

[ultimatefan]

she is overrated....and she is waaaaaay to thin.....even if she tones up her body...she still would be too thin and frail....
My love for Kiera died down a lot after finding out she won´t do her own nude jobs...

[ultimatefan]

yes there is. Connelly...easily.....
Look at the thread and you´ll see she´s not nearly as much an unanimous or vast majority choice as Bale was. Plus there´s the age problem.

[superion]

I posted this under the Whedon says no to X3 yes to WW thread. But I predict if he does it he selects Monica Baccarin. Unknown actress from his failed Fire Fly series. Beautiful Brunette, I believe under 30 so age not a problem, don't know about height.

[pimpernel]

Look at the thread and you´ll see she´s not nearly as much an unanimous or vast majority choice as Bale was. Plus there´s the age problem.

Y'know i think the thing with Connelly and Bellucci is more that people are worried they won't get it cos of the age... not that they don't WANT them. I think if WB turned round next week and said either of those two were cast (thereby putting the age issue to bed) then pretty much 95% of people would be happy as hell.

I'm praying there's no HULK 2. Why? So that someone, somehow, somewhere can convince Jennifer Connelly to take this role. The woman was born to play Diana. She has the look, the kind, caring presence, the acting skills. She's the best choice I can possibly think of.Agreed!! Although, I do think that it would have been better to make a WW movie w/ her in 1992, I still think she would own:

Jennifer Connelly may have the TLC for the part, but she needs to TONE up big TIME!!!!! Remember Amazons are self-sufficient women--not dainty ballerinas.Personally, I can see her doing both. Being both soft and tough as nails Amazon. Which is why I think she is the best choice. Most others I've seen only really have one look to them.

Hey,

Ever since George Pérez run on Wonder Woman, back when I was a kid, what impressed me the most was Diana's beauty. Diana is beauty, in all its meanings. And the only actress I see playing her role is Jennifer Connelly. There really is no one else. No other actress is as beautiful or as talented as Jennifer Connelly. She really is the best actress of her generation, you uttlery believe in every line she says, she becomes the character like no one else. And for a Wonder Woman movie, you need the best to pull it off. Because it will not be a easy flick to make.

I'll go see the movie if it's Jennifer Connelly.

B.Cool.

I think Tsianina Joelson is the perfect choice.
Now Jennifer Connely has the look, but I really don't think she could pull off that warrior attitude that Diana needs to have. And alot of the other choices don't really get me all that excited. Maybe Kate Beckinsale, but other than that come on Angelina Jolie, no friggin way! ! ! The Tomb Raider movies should be an example of why she would be wrong for the part, she seemed awkward in certain scenes. And I think alot of guys want to see her because of her big cans, and if that is what they want go rent Gia, because being hot as Angelina Jolie is, doesn't mean box office success. Look at Halle Berry's Catwoman.

Great post. I agree with you big time. Once again....Connelly IS Diana!

[Spike_x1]

True. *points to sig*

[nolefan32]

FYI, the actress from Firefly is Morena Baccarin, not Monica Baccarin. She is indeed a very beautiful actress who could possibly handle the part. Although the one role I've seen her in was on Firefly, and it wasn't a very physical performance -- I can't say if she'd be up to the physicality of Wonder Woman. But she is indeed talented.
http://www.morena-baccarin.com/pictures/public1/public13.jpg
Here's the link to her webpage if you want to check out more of her .... http://www.morena-baccarin.com/index.html

A better choice, I think, though, is Robia LaMorte, who played Jenny Calendar for the first two seasons of Buffy the Vampire Slayer.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v380/nolefan32/RobiaLaMorte.jpg
She looks the part, she's a former dancer so she's fit enough to handle the physicality of the role, and she's a talented actress. She also has the advantage that she's not terribly well known, which Warner Bros. has said they want (which is why they aren't interested in Sarah Michelle Gellar). Morena isn't terribly well known yet, either, but that may change next summer when the Firefly motion picture, "Serenity", hits the big screen. Likewise for all the suggestions of Catherine Zeta-Jones or Jennifer Conolly, as talented as they may be, they are also very well known and therefore more than likely won't be selected.

*sigh*

Didn't know recapping facts was considered a vendetta.

Pursuing an argument after someone has told you to drop it... vendetta. Why "recap the facts" after the thing has supposedly been dropped?

Who call your momma a whore? Tell me and I'll kick his a$$ in the head!! OH wait...it's just more of your own perversion. You really baitin hard to get me to call her a whore don't you? That sh%t turn you on?

I almost hate to do this to you...

I hear they're looking for someone to play a hooker, would your mom be interested?

Are you retarded? It's you who's been calling me sexist, I never call or accuse you of that!! Even if I wanted to, you're the whooped kind, you ain't qualify to be sexist.

And again i'll let you're own words speak for themselves...

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

I'm merely stating a fact. And the fact is people around the world other than your little part, DO have different standards and expectations. Yes homme, there's a great big world out there full of people of different race and ethinicity. They have different cultures and beliefs of which yours is in the minority. But for someone with with tunnel visions, I can't expect you to see that.

Riiight... and as i said before... i totally agree with and respect that... what i DON'T agree with is you hitting people over the head with your morals or calling people whores cos they don't stand up to those morals.
Which BTW is the ACTUAL reason i took issue with you. :rolleyes:

Quick, someone contact the local Scotland mental health institution... blah blah blah i talk too much.

See i've actually CHECKED the previous posts, so i know for a fact that i only called you a name once... and that was after you insulted my mum. You however have made a point of insulting me and name-calling several times in every one of your last few posts.

If you truly want this to end, try shuttin the he!! up. I'll bet you can't do it. Go ahead, prove me wrong.

Oh dear i guess you won your bet.. Oh well.

Anyways yet again i'm sorry for showing you up so blatently, but...

It ends here. If you absolutely feel compelled to keep it going then i suggest you send me a PM before a mod notices you are being a **** and bans you.

...and i let it go until you fired it all back up again.

Now drop it instead of making an ass of yourself. Like i said before, if you absolutely must act all immature then feel free to do it via PM instead of making all the other posters suffer. I'll ignore your PMs, but feel free anyway.

Either way this crap ends now.

I'd forgotten about morena,she'd be an excellent choice,not to well known,can act,all she needs is stunt training,She's probably got a good chance if whedon directs as he cast her in firefly

[pimpernel]

She looks like a girl. I love her in Firefly but... girl.

[nolefan32]

LOL seriously? Either way thats totally priceless. :D :up:Not according to her bio on IMDb, which credits her birth name as Julie Ann Strain. If that's a boy's name, he was picked on a lot in school, I'm thinking.

Aye but if he/she was willing to get their penis hacked off then i'm sure they wouldn't have batted an eyelid over changing their name. :p

[nolefan32]

Aye but if he/she was willing to get their penis hacked off then i'm sure they wouldn't have batted an eyelid over changing their name. :pMy point being that was her *birth* name, not what she changed it to after the operation.

[nolefan32]

She looks like a girl. I love her in Firefly but... girl.Maybe it's just me, but I'd sort of prefer a girl to play Wonder Woman. I just can't imagine some big hairy guy running around in the tights and tiara. Actually, I just did imagine it -- and it wasn't pretty. Eww.

Maybe it's just me, but I'd sort of prefer a girl to play Wonder Woman. I just can't imagine some big hairy guy running around in the tights and tiara. Actually, I just did imagine it -- and it wasn't pretty. Eww.

I meant girl... as opposed to a WOMAN.

[nolefan32]

I meant girl... as opposed to a WOMAN.I figured that's what you meant, but I still couldn't resist. Guess I'm just irresistable.

She's 25 and looks in her mid-20s. There's been talk about maybe the producers might want someone younger so they can have the same actress continue in the tiara and tights for a lengthy franchise. Morena would fit that bill quite nicely. She's not a teenager (i.e., not Wonder Girl), but not old enough to play Princess Diana's mother, either.

I've only seen her play one role, though, and that Inara the prostitute ... rather, *companion* on Firefly. Inara is very prim and elegant, not the least bit physical of a role. Now it's my understanding that in real life, Morena is very much the tomboy and not at all like Inara, but still I know of nothing to convince me she's suited for this role. She doesn't have a history of physical, action-oriented roles. But then that doesn't mean she isn't capable, only that she's not shown it as of yet.

There's also the added element that she's got a very hispanic look to her, which might be considered too much of a departure from the original character. Wonder Woman has always had a very Anglo-European look. That's not to say that a hispanic actress couldn't be considered for the role -- Catherine Zeta-Jones, for example, has been suggested a lot, and except for her age, I could see her in the role.

Morena's also got the problem of notariety -- Warner Bros. has said they don't want a known actress in the role, someone more up-and-coming. Sandra Bullock and Jennifer Lopez both expressed interest early on, and both were passed over, presumably because of their notariety. Morena isn't well known yet, but Serenity is due out next September and has the potential to be a huge blockbuster, making Morena a household name. That wouldn't bode well for her Wonder Woman chances.

even if serenity is a big hit she still wouldn't qualify as a star as it's an ensemble cast so she'd still be a up and comer,plus she can train for the role like scarlett is for Mi3 or like moss did for matrix,actually given her age,look and connection to whedon she could be the best choice

[superion]

FYI, the actress from Firefly is Morena Baccarin, not Monica Baccarin. She is indeed a very beautiful actress who could possibly handle the part. Although the one role I've seen her in was on Firefly, and it wasn't a very physical performance -- I can't say if she'd be up to the physicality of Wonder Woman. But she is indeed talented.

Ah Morena. Didn't watch Firefly enough so couldn't remember the name correctly. I think she is a good choice if you want a unknown for the role which I think would be the best move. I am not sure people like CZJ or Connelly would want to do this movie. It's not like it has guaranted hit written on it.

I love Firefly and hence I love Morena, but I think Robia's just a better choice. Robia's also 34 (although she looks considerbly younger), which would satisfy those on here who think 25 is still too girlish. http://www.superherohype.com/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif She's also got the look and the connection to Whedon.

I posted some cool pics of Robia a few pages back. You should check them out. :)Those are some good photos of her. Glad to know I'm not the only one who thinks she's the right actress for the role. Sorry I missed seeing them, but I admit -- joined late and didn't go sorting through all of the nearly 20 pages of posts, many with tons of photos and therefore slow loading. I now know about the nifty search function, so I don't have to repeat the efforts of others anymore.

As for Robia, I wrote her hoping to convince her she'd be perfect for the role. In addition to her own resume (i.e., professional dancer, worked with Joss Whedon, etc.), she has said that the roles she'd most like to do are the ones being done by Sandra Bullock and Jennifer Lopez -- both expressed interest in playing Wonder Woman but were passed over (probably because they're too well known). Her response -- "It would be cool, but they will go with a big-name actress. Thanks, though!!" As I just stated, Warner Bros. has been quite clear they don't want a big-name actress, so I'm not giving up on Robia until she flat-out tells me she's just not interested. I think she would be perfect, provided we can get her to call Joss or Joss to call her.

Robia would be more suited to Zatanna.

Keep on her case man she at least should audition for it. :up:

I don't think WB have stated they want an unknown tho. I think Bullock and Lopez didn't get it just cos they are bloody awful choices.

And i think WBs concept of "unknown" is not as strict as you think anyways. Ryan Reynolds is being considered for the Flash, Ben Browder was rumoured for GL, Bale got Batman... those guys all had starring roles in TV shows and a few movies already, so i don't think they mean "total unknown"... but of course if a total unknown does come along and blow them away then they'd go with her. :)

Buffy starts battle for Wonder Woman role
http://www.examiner.ie/breaking/2004/12/18/story181020.html
Ex-Buffy stars Sarah Michelle Gellar and Charisma Carpenter are allegedly competing for the lead role in forthcoming superhero movie Wonder Woman.

The actresses - who played Buffy Summers and Cordelia Chase in the hit TV series - are battling for the iconic role after their former boss, Joss Whedon, agreed to direct the movie remake of the 70s television show, reports British newspaper the Daily Record.

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

[pimpernel]

Aye but i think they just mean cos everyone thinks of her as Buffy. Its different with a semi-famous actress who isn't famous for one particular role. They don't come with the sort of baggage that SMG does, they just have the usual baggage. :)

[SolidRoar]

Does anyone know how old is Kim Smith? Never saw her acting, but if she can act, they should give her a shot, too. (along with Tsianina)

Does anyone know how old is Kim Smith? Never saw her acting, but if she can act, they should give her a shot, too. (along with Tsianina)Assuming you mean the Kim Smith that was in Catwoman and Van Wilder (IMDb lists more Kim Smiths than I'd care to count), her birthday is March 3, 1983 -- making her 21.

[pimpernel]

I figured i'd throw a few more names into the hat. These are kinda left-field but i think they could do really well.

First up... Bobbie Phillips...

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

Sure her age is on the cusp again, but that really doesn't bother me. She looks sooo much like Lynda Carter in that first pic. :up:

Ashley Judd...

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v310/simonpimpernel/judd.jpg
Only 5'7" but she makes up for it in almost every other way... she has the look and the chops and is bad-ass. She was first choice for Catwoman dammit!

If they insist on going younger then maybe Katherine Heigl...

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v310/simonpimpernel/heigl1.jpg

Just darken her hair. Her natural colour is really dark anyways but all the pics of that are from when she was even younger than here.
Her most recent pics show she has even lost the puppy fat and is looking way more womanly than ever...

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v310/simonpimpernel/heigl2.jpg

[Erzengel]

I wouldn't mind if Kim Smith was Wonder Woman if she can act.

[nolefan32]

Talking about Katherine Heigl, and darkening her hair -- she'd be a better choice than Charlize Theron. I've seen Charlize's name thrown around a lot. I don't deny that Charlize is about as hot as they come, and a very talented actress, but she's also about as blonde and as fair as they come. Put a black wig on her and she'd still look to pale, even with her best spray-on tan, making the wig look really unnatural. And yes, I have seen the pictures of Charlize as Aeon Flux -- the hair looks fake, it only works because it fits the Aeon Flux character.

[nolefan32]

There's a lot of talk about who to play Wonder Woman, not just here but all over the bleeding place, and obviously, a truckload of excellent choices. But of the other major role that will more than likely be in the movie, that of Steve Trevor?

I had thought Jonathan Frakes, but at 6'4", he'd completely dwarf most of the actresses suitable for the role of Wonder Woman. The actress doesn't have to be super-tall to pull off the role (high heels on the boots would compensate for a lot), but since she's supposed to be an Amazonian warrior, it would probably be best that her leading man not completely dwarf her to the point she looks like a midget.

So height would be a consideration. Likewise, age when compared to that of the actress playing Wonder Woman -- I for one don't want an 18-year-old Wonder Woman smitten by a 60-year-old Steve Trevor, that would be simply gross. It should also be someone capable of convincing people he is or at least was at one time a lieutenant colonel in the Army Air Corps (or the Air Force if it's set in more modern times, though I'd prefer a World War II backdrop).

[pimpernel]

Steve Trevor is only the love interest in the TV show isn't he? In the comics he is married to someone else. If i remember right.

[nolefan32]

Steve Trevor is only the love interest in the TV show isn't he? In the comics he is married to someone else. If i remember right.Only in the more recent comics. From the early years through I believe the mid- to late 80s (possibly even the 90s), he was Diana's love interest. They had a relationship for the longest time -- Steve and Diana Prince that is, he didn't know he was dating Wonder Woman -- and nearly got married several times, but alas every time the nuptuals approached, some super-nemesis would interrupt it all. And eventually they did get married at one point, though that was probably one of those Earth One/Earth Two sorts of things, and so the marriage that did happen was an alternate storyline.

Fact is, when they first developed the TV series, they really didn't monkey with the premise much at all. Not until they updated it and made it so that Steve and Diana were apparently the only two employees of a CIA-like agency, answering directly to the President from their secret bunker. But when it was set during World War II, it was very much based on the older comics, back when WW was really at her peak of popularity.

Aye i know that and i know most stuff about the character... got the ultimate guide and a whole bucnch of the comics/TPBs... but my point is that any movie is most likely gonna be based off current continuity... so no Trevor love interest and no WWII. It kinda sucks but thats probably how its gonna be.
In all honesty the Perez re-vamp did as much harm as it did good.

In all honesty the Perez re-vamp did as much harm as it did good.I'm guessing that with the first film at least, it will be a sort of origin story, explaining why Wonder Woman even came to America. Most superhero films begin with an origin story -- Superman, the Hulk, the Punisher, etc., were all the origin of the character. And Wonder Woman's traditional back story has her leaving Paradise Island to bring Army Air Corps pilot Lt. Col. Steve Trevor back to America. That doesn't mean they won't update it to modern times, that is, have him shot down during operations in Iraq instead of WWII. They may or may not choose to bring back the secret identity of Yeoman First Class Diana Prince. But I don't see them monkeying with the premise much more than that.

Maybe Wonder Woman 2 will have Steve dating someone else, and thusly fast-forward Wonder Woman into her current state. But for the first film, I can almost promise you Steve Trevor will be in it, he'll be single, and he'll be the potential love interest.

I'm not trying to insult you... but have you read the current continuity at all?
It just seems like most of your knowledge of the character is pre-Crisis/TV show?
There really isn't any room for Trevor as a love interest if they base it on modern continuity... which they WILL do cos after all they want people to see the film then go out and buy the CURRENT comics.
In modern continuity he gets rescued but he isn't a love interest. Their relationship is strictly platonic, and actually they don't even spend very much time together.
I can't see the secret identity coming back either.
See you say they won't monkey with the premise very much... but they already did. They rebooted the whole thing and the premise you are going by is now not even close to canon.
If anyone is likely to appear as a love interest it will be Trevor Barnes. Failing that they might just do what they did for Batman89 and BB and make up a love interest specifically for the movie.

when did WB's express they didn't want a known actress??? oh no...not this unknown and known actress talk again. The best actress for this role is Connelly...and no she not too old and she can still film sequels if thats what truely happens......but first of all WB's should worry about making a good first film. Nobody should be thinking too ahead of themselves when it comes to any type of WW sequels,,,,,the first film isn't even in pre-production yet! sheesh...

I'm not trying to insult you... but have you read the current continuity at all?
It just seems like most of your knowledge of the character is pre-Crisis/TV show?
There really isn't any room for Trevor as a love interest if they base it on modern continuity... which they WILL do cos after all they want people to see the film then go out and buy the CURRENT comics.
In modern continuity he gets rescued but he isn't a love interest. Their relationship is strictly platonic, and actually they don't even spend very much time together.
I can't see the secret identity coming back either.
See you say they won't monkey with the premise very much... but they already did. They rebooted the whole thing and the premise you are going by is now not even close to canon.
If anyone is likely to appear as a love interest it will be Trevor Barnes. Failing that they might just do what they did for Batman89 and BB and make up a love interest specifically for the movie.

what's wrong with pre-crisis?

why is it that present day comic book readers hate pre-crisis so much? in truth pre-crisis captures what made the superhero succesful in the first place.

i like the fact that WW can have a secret identity, it can show a side to the character that wouldnt normally show when she's busy saving people. it works well for Superman and Batman, why not her?

i agree with the Trevor thing though, and the invisible jet. the film can do without those.

IF the report was a 100% true....which i doubt....why would Whedon say he wants to cast Sara and then Charisma....two actress he has worked with, but aren't great actress? to me....getting a good actress who can bring people in the seats and credibility to the role is #1. getting an unknown for this movie, would be the first step toward mediocrity. I hope Joel Silver realizes this....

[nolefan32]

that report smells of bullsh**t.......It might very well be. After all, all the talk about Joss Whedon being signed to direct X-men 3 turned out to be nothing more than conjecture.

However, just because you don't want to believe it doesn't make it automatically wrong, nor does it give you the right to cop and attitude that makes the Comic Book Guy from The Simpsons look like Mother Teresa. Considering it's my post you're responding to, I don't appreciate being sworn at.

I never said there is anything wrong with pre-Crisis... in fact i'm known on the Superman boards for saying that particular franchise needs to bring back a lot of the pre-Crisis stuff that made it great in the first place.
And i would LOVE a WWII Wondie.
If i were writing the movie i'd want to bring back the secret identity (although i'd get her out of the army). I'd also lose Boston and put her back in Gateway City. For me part of the charm of DC characters is that thye each had their own made-up city which was identifieable with the character. I'd wanna bring back WWs.
But in REALITY, wether i like it or not, DC are gonna want to tie a new movie franchise to the comics AS THEY ARE NOW... not as they were 40 years ago. Its just how things are y'know?

See IMO pre-C is too cheesy and not sophisticated/compelling enough and post-C is too cluttered and clumsy. They should just restart the franchise and combine pre and post with a fair bit of pruning. If i had to choose one tho it'd be pre, cos Perez made such a bloody mess of the new origin. :rolleye:

I figured i'd throw a few more names into the hat. These are kinda left-field but i think they could do really well.

First up... Bobbie Phillips...

Sure her age is on the cusp again, but that really doesn't bother me. She looks sooo much like Lynda Carter in that first pic. :up:


Ashley Judd...

Only 5'7" but she makes up for it in almost every other way... she has the look and the chops and is bad-ass. She was first choice for Catwoman dammit!


If they insist on going younger then maybe Katherine Heigl...

Just darken her hair. Her natural colour is really dark anyways but all the pics of that are from when she was even younger than here.
Her most recent pics show she has even lost the puppy fat and is looking way more womanly than ever...
Pimpernel, allow me to tell you.. YOU RULE! Though, I'd like them to save Ashley Judd for Selina Kyle. Man, you should send your suggestions to WB - SERIOUSLY - and point them to this forum to check the fans reaction for themselves.

Bobbie Phillips, Katherine Heigl, Tsianina Joelson, and Kim Smith. All of them should have a chance.

Look no one is getting banned, just cool down a bit. Its fine you have a strong opinion, we all - including me - get caught up in the heat of the moment. Just keep yourself level headed and prove to them you are by maintaining that. In the end you waste less of yours and his time.

Ex-Buffy stars Sarah Michelle Gellar and Charisma Carpenter are allegedly competing for the lead role in forthcoming superhero movie Wonder Woman according to online celebrity zine Teen Hollywood (http://www.teenhollywood.com/d.asp?r=87018&cat=1027).

The pair, who played Buffy Summers and Cordelia Chase respectively in the hit show, are battling for the iconic role after their former boss Joss Whedon agreed to direct the movie remake of the 70s television show says British tabloid The Daily Record.

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

OK, Now I'm convinced.. The more I see of her, the more I see her as Diana.

TSIANINA FOR WW, DAMMIT!


I posted this in the other thread, but it should have been here:

Let's be realistic for a sec, guys. As much as I'd like someone like CZA, Connelly, or Bellucci play the role, we know that's not what the WB is looking for.

Back in 1998, WB wanted a new WW TV series. The project was canned because they didn't find their Amazon Princess - they were looking for an unknown. Here's the link: http://www.eonline.com/News/Items/0,1,2756,00.html

So, now, if there was no way WB are gonna cast an A-list star for the role, would you agree on one of the suggested unkowns (if they could act, of course)? and who would you pick? (of the unknowns)
BTW, my second choice after Tsianina (based on looks - not sure about the acting, yet) would be Kim Smith.

[Head>On<Collider]

Damn right. WB definitely needs to look her way when a director is officially attached to this project, Tsianina's schedule doesn't look to be as booked as Jennifer Connelly's or Catherine Zeta-Jones, plus she resembles Diana all too well. She needs to be WONDER WOMAN dammit.

She is a decent actress. She just hasn't been given the chance to unleash her true potential as an actress yet, however, I think she is more than capable of pulling off the most convincing performance for Diana, plus, it's not just the actress that counts, it's the director that will lead the actress from one scene to another. If they put the project on sturdy hands I have nothing but absolute faith that Joelson might be the best Wonder Woman of them all!!!!:D

[dk]

I'm a Buffy fan. Both SMG and Charisma Carpenter are horrible choices to play Diana - unless they're trying to make a comedy out of it. If Whedon lands the gig, I hope he sees the truth of this, and casts according to character rather than using his influence to get his actor friends big parts.

Too true. Christian Bale will soon be established as BATMAN. Brandon Routh will be SUPERMAN, and if we are lucky enough, Tsianina Joelson will be WONDER WOMAN. It all fits.

Both don't have what is necessary to be a good WW. In fact i still have a lot of doubts about their acting skills.

On another note, I do wonder if there's an unknown actress out there who could do Wonder Woman justice. I'd be open to that if it's a possibility.

Me too Sage. My thing is tho that they are gonna have to produce one helluva good unknown to beat Connelly and Bellucci as they most perfect candidates in my mind... but if they find an unknown tht can do THAT i will bow down in worship. So far Joelson is NOT that unkown. She looks like a wee girl when she smiles.

Connelly and Belluci, almost neck-and-neck in my book. Connelly only wins slightly cos of her similarity to Adam Hughes' Wondie.

She is yummy. Man its so hard to choose between them. I'd be thrilled with either one. Of course i can always dream about Connelly for WW and Bellucci for Hippolyta. :D
