Official Wonder Woman Casting Suggestions [merged-13]

[batboy99]

even if she is about 5 to 10 years to old for the role.ya your point? its not like shed be in the movie anyways

[RakuMon]

How about Indira Varma? She played Vorenus' wife Niobe on HBO's "Rome."
She's 33, but I'm not sure how tall she is (she looks 5'9' - 5'10").

She's a beautiful lady, and I personally find her attractive. That said, I don't think the people who matter are interested in a woman her age performing in the role of Wonder Woman. She's 33, and that's only 7 years short of 40. Chances are, if they made a trilogy with her as Wonder Woman, she'd be well into her 40's by the time the trilogy was done. 40 isn't exactly something to be proud of age-wise.

It is highly likely if/when the film is made, it will be made with an actress in her early 20's.

[Darknightnomis]

I'ma Jennifer Connelley supporter myself but If not her Karen Cliche definately looks the part.

I know what you're trying to say. (Though I don't believe 40 is that old :D)

It isn't unprecedented to cast an "older" actress to play younger in superhero franchise. Take the X-Men for example. Famke Jannsenn was 35 when the first one came out in 2000. Halle Berry was 34.

But you're probably right about the casting director aiming for mid-20s for WW. That said, this pic screams "Diana of Themyscira" to me:

i like her but i think shed be a better giganta

[Darknightnomis]

i like her but i think shed be a better giganta

Yeah, I can see where you're coming from with that, but to me she has the physic and personality of being very caring but willing to fight for peace, which is how I view Wonder Woman.

Plus,of all the actresses that's been mention (out JC) she just looks the most like Wonder Woman.

[Cain]

My choice is 5'9 - 5'10 has proven to be a good actress during her time on Law & Order. On that show she played a strong female character so she could pull off both the presence (key) and look.Has proven she's not above live action DC comics adaptations by appearing in Smallville as a superpowered villain, is in her early 30's and not her 20's & is still unknown.

[batboy99]

alana, i still kinda like her

[Cain]

They cast Alana as Diana, Jim Caviezel as Supes and Jon Hamm as Batman and they'd be off to a great start casting wise. The way I see it if they don't plan on using the same actors in solo films anyway might as well go for a more mature JLA that could carry a possible trilogy with gravitas than a bunch of 20 somethings. Too bad it won't work that way.

[Vaportrail]

Man, I can't wait for them to cast this movie already.

They're killin' us. Slowly.

Make this a TV series so it has a chance to actually succeed. LOL

[dnno1]

If Supergirl does well in Smallville this season such that she gets her own spinoff, a Wonder Woman TV show might not be a bad idea.

[Jake Cassidy]

Yeah, I'd love to see a Wonder Woman t.v. show. I think that the proposed Teen Titans movie would work better as a t.v. series too.

Gina Athans

I have to chalk this one up to Vol Kid over at Bluetight.net. Gina Athans is 5'11", Greek, and looks like a cross between Monica Belucci and Natalie Glebova. The only draw back is her accent is heavy and she might not be a good actress (although her resume says that she has done some voice over work). She will be in the Rogue Star Films comedy, "Big Fellas" this November. Here is the trailer:

Catherine was also a best choice for that role but it seem Jessica Biel will portrait the character of Wonder Woman...

I like catherines look for WW, though i dont remember anything ive seen her in. what are some good movies shes in

oh and BTW,I found this older issue of wizard i have from 2005 and it shows possible candidates for wonder woman. I was really suprised to see taylor cole there!

thank you :o

more like 6, whoever's cast for JL will also be our WW for the next 10 years

[batboy99]

uhh no, they said they wanted to cast people 18-35, shes 36.She can still pull it off

[The Shredder]

http://img529.imageshack.us/img529/595/jennifercdarklookingcr9.jpg

Connelly could definately play Wonder Woman. In terms of both looks and acting ability, I wouldnt have no worries with her in the role.

None whatsoever.

Hell, even when she's in her early-mid 40's (and beyond to be perfectly honest), I believe her beauty will still be quite evident. Not "hawtness", but beauty. And for a character like WW, I believe that works best. :up:

[batboy99]

exactly, WW isnt one you would call HOT, but shes more of a beautiful goddess type. hot would be someone like donna troy, or supergirl

[KBX]

uhh no, they said they wanted to cast people 18-35, shes 36.She can still pull it off

The casting call said for females from the age of 20-32....

oh really? my bad then. still, jen can still be wonder woman

[Jyn]

Bale was 30 when he did BB
Routh was 26 when he did SR and they're both doing sequels
By the time they start filming :ww: Connelly will be 37 and if they want to do a sequel then they'll have a 40 year-old wonder woman. SHE'S TOO OLD!

[RakuMon]

Devil's advocate:

Famke Jannsenn was 35 when she was cast as Jean Grey in the first X-Men.

you people make it sound like 40 is ancient or something:huh:

[terry78]

40 year old man vs. 40 year old woman. Yes, there is a difference. Tom Cruise still looks as he did when he was doing Risky Business. There are hot women over 40, but you still know they're over 40. :o

[The Shredder]

you people make it sound like 40 is ancient or something:huh:

Yeah, too much emphasis is put on age. Despite both actor's being in their mid-late 30's, George Reeves and Michael Keaton were both excellent in the roles that they played (Superman and Batman respectively). And honestly, were probably the best choices for their time. I couldnt see anyone doing as good as a job as George did with Superman in the 1950's, and ditto with the time Keaton played Batman (and to a lesser extent, Famke as Jean Grey as well).

Do I believe Connelly could possibly do the same if provided the opportunity? You better believe it.

Personally, I would rather put my faith in a 30-something actress for WW that definately has the look and could no doubt play the role both convincingly, and memorably, than an actress who is young, has the look, but who's acting may or may not leave much to be desired.

Last thing I want to see, is everyone commenting on how "Hawt" Wonder Woman was, but how crummy the acting was on whichever actress who lands the role, part. :o

And 40 is not at all old.

i wouldnt say she cant act, she not that bad for a soap star. she isnt that great but ive seen worse
obviously id rather have someone with better acting but she isnt the worst. I also think shed work fine if they did a WW tv series or something, not a movie

Just a word of advice...just because you have piercing blue eyes does not make you Wonder Woman.

[BobJM]

Monica Dean has so much more going for her than blue eyes. Give any of those girls contacts and they'll have the same eyes.

Dean has a quality to her that sets her apart. A maturity and beauty and a confidence that I associate with WW.

Exactly.

And I couldnt agree with you more on your last post, Lucid. She definately does outshine the rest from that WWcasting pic comparison. To me, Monica Dean looks ALOT like Dodson's current Wonder Woman.

http://img296.imageshack.us/img296/4752/wwmonvy9.jpg

[az824]

she pretty much looks like any incarnation of wonder woman. she has a regal beauty and not just "hot." not to mention, she doesnt look fake like most of the ones in the second set of actresses

[cronosred]

If Monica can act I'm all for her being Wonder Woman.

Wow, from the look of these recent comments, Monica Dean could be on her way to becoming WW fans' Christian Bale. She really deserves it, I think. Everyone here is nailing the reasons why--a true ethereal, regal beauty and maturity, yet still a vibrant youthfulness. These are qualities that can't be acted, so they must be possessed by the woman herself. Monica Dean has it all. Great work, bunk, for putting all the candidates next to each other like that. What a great idea and how much easier it makes it to see the differences. Kudos.

Not seeing where you are coming from in the least bit. More mature, and regal yes. Masculine? Uh, no.

Yeah, I would have been content with Biel. I wasnt exactly jumping up and down, but I would have been alright with her. Not to any surprise, I saw other's remark of her looking manly and what not. Didnt really see that either. And this is coming from someone who was in no way a big pro Biel supporter.

Here's some more of Miss Dean.

i've started supporting Nina Fehren for wonder woman, even tho i've never seen her act, shes one of the best choices i've heard of so far, there's a bit of stuff posted about her over at bluetights http://www.bluetights.net/theplanet/showthread.php?t=2851&page=447,
her face is amazing, and her body seems to be similar to missy peregryms, plus she's the same height as missy so standing the 2 next to each other i think Nina is a better choice. if anyone has seen her act, is she any good?

http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b188/dnno1/Nina_Fehren.png
shes gorgeous, i think she has classic beauty & she really looks like wonder woman, and if her eyes are amazing & so blue!

Mary Elizabeth Winstead Looks really beauty, well my "young option" for WW alwas has been Taylor Cole, but Mary looks really really pretty too!

the more i look at her, the more i think MEW can pull it off, definately not the worst choice from the list reported earlier.

I hope she gets it.

[Penguin]

I'd say Jennifer Connelly

[Lobo]

Can someone do a MEW manip please?

[Silver Lantern]

Here is my idea and I would like to know what any of you think of this idea.

The story begins in 2008, Los Angeles. Diana Prince Trevor (Lynda Carter) and Steve Trevor (NA) are now married, live in the outskirts of the city and has a daughter named Liana. The daughter is a all track athlete and part of the activist program at school and swimming team. Steve now older works as a financial banker and Diana a stay at home mother and on the side runs a internet business. They live a few miles from the city and now retired from the intelligence agency they worked at... in the past Steve found out Diana was WW by accident then later married. Steve is working on some new weopons plan for a group of unknown men in a company when trouble strikes. A terrorist organization soon shows and when that happens the world is in trouble. With no heroes Diana's daughter soon discovers the bracelets hidden away in the attic and puts them on becoming empowered as the new Wonder Woman. Liana is caught in a dangerous world and gets captured and soon Diana discovers that if she doesnt help her daughter will die so for the final time Diana uses the powers and transforms into Wonder Woman but she knows that using the powers this final time will be gone forever ..she goes out and hunts them down, trevor is caught in the middle and tells Diana not to do this again. Diana tracks her down but her powers are now lost once found and the new WW must save the world from destruction.

Lynda Carter reprises her role as Diana Prince but appears as Wonder Woman once more

Lyle Wagner reprises his role as Steve Trevor

Debra Winger comes in as a cameo as the older Drusilla.

The new movie will have Lynda and Lyle but now older return for the roles that made them famous but a new look, a new century and a new threat.

I wouldnt mind that at all for a made-for-tv-flick reunion.

Kinda made me think of the "Back to the Batcave" tv movie from a few years back, but obviously your idea would put it into a more serious realm. I know Lynda probably wouldnt mind reprising the role with some of those ideas intact, as she mentioned on a few of the featurettes found on the Season sets of WW that she would like to see explored the idea of WW with a child of her own.

Wonder Woman R.I.P.?
Rumors persist about solo flick's death.
by Stax

October 16, 2007 - Warner Bros. president of production Jeff Robinov recently tried, via an article in Variety, to put the kibosh on reports that he had decided against green-lighting any more films featuring female leads, a decision which would obviously affect the fate of the studio's long-gestating Wonder Woman movie. Now the same industry columnist who first reported Robinov's alleged decree is back with more, including rumors about the fate of Wonder Woman.

According to DeadlineHollywoodDaily.com's Nikki Finke, Robinov has "nixed Wonder Woman as a stand-alone film, downgrading her to just one of four superhero characters in the proposed Justice League pic."

Finke adds, "Robinov will only make Wonder Woman as a spin-off of Justice League, about four superheroes including Wonder Woman. But his proviso is that JL (no doubt its proper name Justice League Of America would be too jingoistic for the foreign market) would have to do really, really boffo to justify having a female star-driven pic."

The news broke yesterday that Mary Elizabeth Winstead (Live Free or Die Hard, Grindhouse), Teresa Palmer (Wolf Creek), and Friday Night Lights co-stars Minka Kelly and Adrianne Palicki had all auditioned for Justice League, apparently for the role of Wonder Woman.

Both Warner Bros. and reps for Wonder Woman producer Joel Silver failed to respond to IGN's inquiries for comment, confirmation or denial on Finke's report at time of publish. We Wonder why ...

It's a nice idea...very interesting. I think Lynda Carter once remarked that she wore her costume to her children's show-and-tell and PTA fun gatherings...but she also said that she believes she cannot fit in the costume now, so...

Lynda still looks wonderful anyways!

[WonderWitch]

can anyone post a picture of mary elizabeth winstead without bangs? i'd like to see how she looks w/o them.

oh, & here's more pics of Nina Fehren

btw, does anyone know if casting for the jla is conducted on an invite only type basis or can any actor audition? i really don't understand these things... are they looking for any unknowns or first time actors or sticking to people who've worked b4? if i were them i'd be leaving no stone unturned.

[Jake Cassidy]

I think it's an open casting call. That means anyone can audition if they want.

[Last Gunfighter]

Posting this just for fun...not any real suggestion on my part or anything.

same here, but thats cuz i have high standards, but in all honesty, out of all the names i'm hearing of actresses who are auditioning, shes probably the best, honestly, they could do sooooooo much worse. sad but true.

[az824]

i have my fingers crossed that monica dean tried out and made it!

[az824]

nice, that would look nice on screen

[buggs0268]

As one of the reported members of "young hollywood" testing for the role, Mary Elizabeth Winstead wouldnt be too bad...She is a capable actress (she pulled off tough, and assertive in Die Hard-IV)...Plus she is 5'8

I am betting she is the one that wins the role.

[Steelsheen]

you sure about that Buggs?

(because i would do cartwheels if she was cast :O)

[buggs0268]

you sure about that Buggs?

(because i would do cartwheels if she was cast :O)
No I am not sure. I don't work for the WB or know anyone working on the film. I just got a hunch. And I have been pretty right on my hunches so far. And I would too. She seems the most likely choice for Naive princess who is the peace spokesperson of the league. Also, she is the only one with "movies" in her resume. That believe it or not is a big bonus. Miller can say who he wants, but like every other Superhero film, DC has to sign off on choice. And MEW has a following already whereas the others don't.

She is also the one that looks the most like WW without having to do too much to get her there.

the other thing too is the other girls they mentioned are all on existing TV shows and they would have to work around that schedule. MEW is not on a TV show and is free of commitments.

[batboy99]

my top choice is still and will always be Bellucci.

though, for a younger choice, im falling for Morena Baccarin.

and though i know alot of people hate her, if she wasnt known as the druggie she is and if she wasnt in the tabloids so much for such stupid things, i think Lohan woulda made a decent donna troy(obviously not now, her time has passed and her career is going down hill unfortunatly, but oh well...it wouldnt happen anyway)

[Lobo]

I'd be very Happy with Winstead as :ww: and I do think she'll get the part for Justice League

My dream choices tho are

Taylor Cole (I hope she at least auditioned)
Missy Peregrym (She wants it and I think she'd be good)
Jessica Biel (She already turned it down)
Evangeline Lilly (Doubt she'd do it)
Mary Elizabeth Winstead (Looks like she might be the one :))

[batboy99]

taylor, yes
missy,yes
jessica, so glad she turned it down, man face :o
lilly, would work but too short
MEW, maybe, still not sure

[Lobo]

If they went older tho I'd vote Monica, Jen, and Lucy

Maybe Winstead in costume would sway people one way or the other

[batboy99]

connelly isnt that old, shes 36, that isnt old, id still choose her

[Lobo]

So would I but they're going for a young Justice League

Here's a Mary pic from sometime last year I think

http://www.indymotorspeedway.com/images/maryelizabethwinstead.jpg

[batboy99]

ya i think thats stupid, they're basically doing a teen titans movie but with justice league characters

[dark_b]

So would I but they're going for a young Justice League

Here's a Mary pic from sometime last year I think

http://www.indymotorspeedway.com/images/maryelizabethwinstead.jpgwith all due respect but she looks here like a young WW :wow:

[Lobo]

^I agree :)

[Artistsean]

Maybe they are casting too young, but it doesn't make scenes that they would do that at all.
Not when there is going to be a Teen Titans live action movie coming out soon too. (are they different studios?) Because unless the competeing studios are using DC products to compete it doesn't make scenes.

I wouldn't mind a younger Wonder Woman however, as long as she has the presence of an Amazonian Princess (sent to Man's world as a Diplomat to Teach peace.) And as long as she sort of has the look of an Amazon woman, maybe being taller or as tall as some of the males.

[Crazymaverick]

^I agree :)


Plus they can always age her with hair, make-up, camera angles and lighting.

And then there's always wardrobe and prosthetics to *ahem* round out the rest of her look.

[Crazymaverick]

You know, this girl is really starting to grow on me as WW:

http://img138.imageshack.us/img138/4951/89941335wz6.png

Mary Elizabeth Winstead

[Karea07]

she'll work :up:

[dark_b]

give MEW a tan and bulk her up and you have teh best young WW that i could now think of.


for christ sake cast her NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW

[Philly Phanboy]

You know, this girl is really starting to grow on me as WW:

http://img138.imageshack.us/img138/4951/89941335wz6.png

Could she do it, yes. Should she do it...well I'm sure there are much better choices available.

I'm in agreement with those that think MEW would be better suited for M.J. in the Spider-Man movies if the new director dumps Dunst.

[RakuMon]

So would I but they're going for a young Justice League

Here's a Mary pic from sometime last year I think

http://www.indymotorspeedway.com/images/maryelizabethwinstead.jpg

The top of her dress kind of looks like the WW costume, no? :wow:

Someone with Photoshop skills could easily turn this into a WW manip, I'd think.

[Crazymaverick]

Someone should manip that picture.

[dark_b]

there is nothing to manip. this is WW on the red carpet.

[Nighthawk_Fan]

Mary Elizabeth Winstead should not be WW. Her face looks too kiddish. She looks more like Batgirl or something. Mary Elizabeth Winstead looks like an ordinary woman, and WW is far from ordinary.

[batboy99]

MJ :o

[toddly6666]

Mary Elizabeth Winstead is a fair choice. She doesn't really stand out though. I think that's the whole purpose of this young JLA cast, so that no one really outshines someone else, especially since none of the actors are huge actors. Plus, if you have not-so-famous actors, there's a good chance of making sequels without any trouble, as would happen with big-name actors.

The only thing interesting about her is that she sort of looks like a young Lucy Lawless Xena. Maybe that's what they are going for with her. The producers might be assuming that the Xena character/look is the same as Wonder Woman.

If she can pull off playing a feminine toughie after playing a stupid ditz in Death Proof, then she's not that bad of a choice.

[Lobo]

Her role in Live Free or Die Hard was very different than the one in Death Proof

[Lobo]

The top of her dress kind of looks like the WW costume, no? :wow:

Someone with Photoshop skills could easily turn this into a WW manip, I'd think.

That's why I posted it ;)

[Crazymaverick]

Would it be overly critical if I said the only problems I had with her were her height and her figure (both in the context of playing WW)?

Color me superficial/sexist/whatever, but WW looks like a centerfold. A very top-heavy centerfold.

[Lobo]

True but at 5'8 she's not that short

[Majik1387]

Sorry, no to her for Wonder Woman.

[Crazymaverick]

True but at 5'8 she's not that short

True, but that's not quite 5'11" (without heels)

But even that is not that big a deal.

Physically she looks girlish and not womanly. (That's the best way I can put it without being crass)

[batboy99]

ya i agree

[LittleMissVixen]

I don't see how she is girlie. She is not a 5'4 petite waif like many of the actress auditioning for the role. She has a nice feminine figure.

Next month she will be 23....just a year younger than when Lynda Carter first slipped on the satin tights and tiaria.

[batboy99]

no she isnt short,petite waif, but that doesnt mean she doesnt look girlie. i think its her face, she still looks really young(even for her age) if shes cast as WW, i wouldnt protest against it

[Advanced Dark]

Jack Black for Wonder Woman. Make it a comedy as it should be.

[Lobo]

:whatever:

[batboy99]

lol! nah if it was a comedy, sarah silverman for WW!
anyways, seeing as she auditioned i did this VERY quick manip of MEW as WW(as i said, i did it very quick so it isnt very good(edges are very rough etc). but i just wanted to see how she would look)
http://i46.photobucket.com/albums/f111/batboy99/mewww.jpg

[az824]

thank you! :)

[batboy99]

welcome. still dont really like her though

[Nighthawk_Fan]

She just isn't WW for me. WW should look strong and fearless. MEW looks like she's going to cry and have a hissy fit if she gets into combat. And to be honest, I think she's a terrible choice. There's plenty of actresses that's more suitable for WW. I just hope WB cast someone that have the acting chops and resembles WW. But it seems like they are not...

[\S/JcDc\S/]

www.supermanhomepage.com

Cinematical.com reports that Shannyn Sossamon (A Knight's Tale, One Missed Call) auditioned for the role of Wonder Woman in the up-coming "Justice League" movie...

Sossamon did audition for Princess Di and she apparently blew away the writing team of Kieran and Michele Mulroney and has heard back from them since. According to our source, the Mulroneys were so taken with Sossamon that they championed her to director Miller, even going so far as to state that they had envisioned Sossamon in the Amazonian role all along. But now comes the bad news ... our source also tells us that Miller was less than over the moon about Sossamon's audition (or just didn't see her as being the right casting fit), which means that a resulting stalemate will almost certainly break in his favor. The audition apparently took place sometime prior to the recent 'Young Hollywood' open casting call, and that's all we know at this point.

Meanhile, AintItCool.com reports that the 'Young Hollywood" auditions mentioned above (and reported on here last week) were supposedly only for the roles of The Flash and Wonder Woman...

This source said that all those people above (and many more) were only reading for two characters: The Flash and Wonder Woman. The source assured me that the casting is skewing very young only for The Flash because he's the youngest member of the Justice League. And Wonder Woman is a goddess that doesn't age, so it's understandable she'd be cast young.

I personally don't think Wonder Woman should be cast any younger than her early to mid-twenties, but I can see where they're going with making the Flash young and brash... if these rumors are in fact true.

[Ares23]

Well Thanks to God Shannyn Sossamon didnt make it for Diana role! Also looking the manip of MEW, she is pretty and sexy, but she is not Diana, I think if they want a young choice whyn not Taylor Cole? the girl is beautyful, but I dont know about her height or her actor career but she looks like Diana to me!
And well acording to youre sources Diana is a goddes!!! wow!

[Lobo]

Yes Taylor would be excellent and many here support her. We dont know if she tried out or not though. Personally I've been supporting Taylor Cole for WW for close to three years now

But Winstead is my favorite of the ones we know auditioned

[Ares23]

Youre right Lobo Taylor is perfect, and MEW is just bets option right now from the ones that auditioned for the part, but she isnt WW

Why is every actress trying out for WW small chested? I am not saying they have to be 38DD's. But, the girls they are interested in are small for WW.

[toddly6666]

Hollywood is anti-breasts, don't forget that...and look what they did with Elektra...

[Nighthawk_Fan]

I think Taylor Cole is a far better choice than Mary Elizabeth Winstead.

[Lobo]

I think Taylor Cole is a far better choice than Mary Elizabeth Winstead.

So do I, Taylor is my #1 choice, but Mary is by far the best choice of who we know has tested so far IMO

Although Monica Dean would be the perfect choice, she is the best choice out of everyone who tested...

[batboy99]

she is!

I love mary elizabeth. GOd she's so damn hot..cute...(drool). She's not right for Wonder Woman BUT if she does get it, I wouldnt be against it.

She's more attractive than the majority of the crappy actresses out there. She's a natural beauty..

Well the movie is not being made until like 2 years from now. Winstead is what 23? Lynda Carter was like 24 when the WW show started.

[Grinder]

JL starts shooting in less than 4 months. If the solo WW flick ever happens is another story.

i've notice no ones mention lucy lawless. she played Xena who is some what like Wonder Woman. and plus is the voice of WW in New Fronteir.

Lucy would be an obvious choice. what y'all think

[Jake Cassidy]

Why? They don't change Superman's suit why should they change Wonder Woman's? Nobody's going to be offended by the costume, since everyone in the world knows exactly what WW looks like.

[BobJM]

I'd just make the undies into a battle skirt, that's all.

[jmc]

Why? They don't change Superman's suit why should they change Wonder Woman's? Nobody's going to be offended by the costume, since everyone in the world knows exactly what WW looks like.

Most people kinda know what WW looks like. It's not about offending, it's about not look ridiculous, she's an amazon warrior, she should look the part, not just a hot chick in a skin tight, skimpy Americanised outfit. Why the hell would she fight in something that is practically underwear?, how the hell do you take that seriously :huh:. The only reason the would leave like the comic is for sex appeal, somethings gotta bring in all the teen boys :whatever:.

And they should also change Superman's suit, he looks equally ridiculous on film, seriously what the hell is with those briefs? I've never understood why that aspect of the costume made the transition to film.

[LittleMissVixen]

I have been a Wondy fan since I was 5, and I am a long time collector...but I agree, as long as they keep the essential elements intact (tiara, braclets, lasso, belt and breast plate), I am fine with them modifying her outfit. She could benefit from an outfit with some type of shoulder straps.

[bunk]

It's not about offending, it's about not look ridiculous, she's an amazon warrior, she should look the part, not just a hot chick in a skin tight, skimpy Americanised outfit.

And they should also change Superman's suit, he looks equally ridiculous on film, seriously what the hell is with those briefs? I've never understood why that aspect of the costume made the transition to film.

Isn't she supposed to look American-ized though? That's kinda the point. Besides, we're talking about a character who hails from an imaginary island. Maybe they should go ahead and have her chop off her left tit. Of course she doesn't even use a bow does she? Only a magic lasso. They didn't exactly set up that character to be terribly realistic. I get the sense we'll be seeing more princess Diana, and less warrior Diana in this movie anyway. It's like Thor. I hear people complain about his appearance as if it's inaccurate. They seem to forget Norse gods don't actually exist, so who's to say... Though his new costume is much cooler.

And they should also change Superman's suit, he looks equally ridiculous on film, seriously what the hell is with those briefs? I've never understood why that aspect of the costume made the transition to film.

I would worry less about making WW's costume looking more warrior-like. It's who they're gonna cast, the kind and quality of the script they're going to use and the director that should be of most concern.

[jmc]

Isn't she supposed to look American-ized though? That's kinda the point. Besides, we're talking about a character who hails from an imaginary island. Maybe they should go ahead and have her chop off her left tit. Of course she doesn't even use a bow does she? Only a magic lasso. They didn't exactly set up that character to be terribly realistic. I get the sense we'll be seeing more princess Diana, and less warrior Diana in this movie anyway. It's like Thor. I hear people complain about his appearance as if it's inaccurate. They seem to forget Norse gods don't actually exist, so who's to say... Though his new costume is much cooler.

Why is she suppose to look Americanised? Maybe it's coz I'm Aussie, but that's what I don't get, she is suppose to be from an island of Greek Amazons, where the hell do the Yanks come into it?

Agreed, awesome script and good cattle are paramount to any film, especially this one.

I guess she's was just trying to fit in. She operates out of the US and wants her appearance to represent that. It would be ridiculous if the whole island population was walking around in red, white, and blue. Diana has made a conscious decision to look the way she does. It wasn't her intent to look like a warrior, only to look like a superhero.

Steve Trevor's mum, Diana Trevor, was in the United States Womens Airforce Service Pilots or WASP program (it actually existed BTW), that was designed to cover the shortfall in pilots as a result of all the manpower being sent to the frontlines during World War 2. WASP's helped in training other pilots, in delivering new combat aircraft from the manufacturer to Air Force units, and also to assist in flight test programs.

While on a test flight in an United States Air Force F-86 Sabre jet fighter in the late 1940's, Lieutenant Diana Trevor encountered freak navigational and weather problems and subsequently crashed in the sea near Paradise Island. Once ashore she stumbled onto a battle between Cottus and the Amazons. Cottus was trying to get out of his prison, whose entrance was a thick door that was guarded by the Amazons.

They were losing the battle when Diana Trevor intervened and pulled out her Colt 45 semi-automatic pistol and started firing. In the ensuing melee Diana was mortally wounded but managed to force Cottus back far enough for the Amazons to reincarcerate the abomination. She told the amazons her name before she died. The Amazons built a statue of her in one of their temples to pay homage to her,

Queen Hyppolyta subsequently named Princess Diana after the dead female test pilot, whom they considered to be a martyr and heroine.

Wonder Woman's uniform was based on the insignia/heralds/emblems that was worn by Diana Trevor, to further pay tribute to the dead female test pilot and maintain the heraldic tradition (those of you here who are ex-military would know what I mean).

...And that's why Wonder Woman's costume looks American.

Clear as mud?

So if Steve's mother was an Australian pilot she'd be dressed in an Aussie flag? :woot:

Seriously, I get why she was originally drawn the way she was, but is that honestly the best explanation the comic writers came up with? :huh: It's a really weak excuse, why would an ancient culture forgo it's thousands of years of history and iconic gods to base a suit on some chick who just appeared on the island and helped out a bit?

you see, that there is a ridiculous looking costume as it is, but when Winstead wears it, it doesnt look so bad :D.

imagine what she would look like in a kickass Amazonian warrior uniform :ww:


^If you asked me this when Zorro 1st came out, I would have said CZJ all the way
believe it or not, before CZJ went A-list, Linda Carter herself said that she would make a great WW. its as if the torch was being passed. for some of us who's been following the WW movie news for years we know that CZJ wanted that WW role. but development dragged too long and CZJ got too pricey, so when news about looking for a WW actress came around she said what any sour-graping-actress-whose-fantasy-is-to-play-WW would say "not interested in superhero movies". but for those of us in the know we remember how hard she lobbied for the role.

[Last Gunfighter]

Yeah, I like the character, she's a great character who deserves her own film and not be part some artificial ensemble piece they're planning on releasing.

A stand-alone WW movie is obviously a high-risk project. Mitigating this risk is what a JLA movie would be effectively doing, and that is IF they do it and do it right.

Personally I think to travel along this road speaks volumes of the level of testicular fortitude the powers-that-be at WB have.

However I have no problems if it is indeed true that they are dragging their butts on a WW movie in order to do it right.

[batboy99]

CZJ said she doesnt want to play 'stupid characters with powers' :rolleyes:

[TBadora]

I still think Jessica Biel would have made the best Wonder Woman. Granted, her acting isn't spectacular.

Any movie is a high risk project, the JL is a higher risk project than a stand alone WW film. What I don't get is how exactly is doing a JL film is suddenly going to make it easier to get WW's or a FL or GL solo film up and running, why will it take a JL film to suddenly switch on the lightbulb? I'll agree that I'd rather wait 10 years to get a great WW film than be served a half arsed version of the character and be told by WB to call it ice cream. And you're right about the powers that be, it sometimes seems they have no freaking idea what they are doing half the time.

It is easier because they are now in the public conciousness. Everyone knows who Batman and Superman are. Wonder Woman is just about as well known. After that...well, fewer know about Aquaman...even less Flash and Gl...and if anyone other than a comic book fan knows about the Martian Manhunter I will eat my hat! I didn't even know about him until the JL cartoon! (This was pre-comic time for me)

[KBX]

At this point in time any one else other than Winstead would be a disappointment, unless they really blew us away....

How is the public knowledge of the character suddenly going to get a good story written? If they're having problems now with developing the characters, I fail to see how a JL film will change it, hell chances are solo film wont even have the same continuity. I don't buy this whole using JL as a starting block for solo films, JL it's about making quick $$$.

It wont get good stories written...but it will generate more public interest in seeing the characters! It doesn't matter how good a story is, if there is no interest in seeing the character, the studios may see it as too big of a risk. Good story does not immediately mean $$$.

I really like the look of Megan Gale. She's got the right height 5' 11" for the character and is 32 yrs old!! Can she act, not sure,

But she does have great stage presence...

I would love to see her in the role!!!

Finally! A rumor that I can be happy with! I don't know who is she! but I like her!

Teresa Palmer is waaayyyy to short for the role. My lord, she's my height. Now that's just wrong for an Amazon Princess.

Yeah but she sure is easy on the eyes:

She looks abit older this this photo! Nice! Touch! :)

[Milkman95]

Even though she's shorter, she's definitely good looking and she looks like from looks alone she could pull it off.

Doubt this is true though.

They should just dye her hair black.

With her height and perfect blond hair, she is better suited for Black Canary!!!

Cast Monica Dean, although her height bothers me to (only 5'7"), but with some heels and camera tricks...she could pull it off beautifully!!! She IS the physical embodiment of Wonder Woman!!

So let me get this right, if WW is in an artificial ensemble it will generate public interest, but if she goes it alone it won't generate public interest? That's were marketing comes in! :woot:

Good story might not mean $$$ but it means better quality cinema, otherwise you get TF or the Pirates sequels, sure these films made a truck load of cash, but they are junk that no one cares about, they won't be remembered in 5 years time. The appreciation of the work is what counts the most, not how much it makes, not awards, that's what studios seem to have forgotten, they are so hell bent on making quick dollars they are neglecting making good cinema, It doesn't surprise me that people are avoiding going to the movies now, the quality of cinema has diminish dramatically in the last 10 years because studios are treating the audience like idiots by releasing films (and TV) that are weakly written, poorly cast and filled with one-dimensional characters and pointless special FX. 'Oh no, we can't make anything too complicated, we can't have the audience thinking'.

[Crazymaverick]

Monica Dean looks like a stripper.

Not that there's anything wrong with that, but that kind of "sleazy" quality doesn't suit WW, who's supposed to be a superhero, a diplomat and a princess. Not to mention a female counterpart to Superman in pretty much every way.

Yeah, she's really perfect. I wonder if WB has anyone looking at these boards. I mean, there are a lot of bad suggestions on here, but there are some good ones, too. Monica Dean is far better than anyone who's been rumored to audition for the role. So I guess right now the SHH boards are a better casting resource than agents and WB casting directors.

[The Shredder]

Yeah, she's really perfect. I wonder if WB has anyone looking at these boards.

Oh man, if only there was. :csad:

As I would think pics of Monica that members have posted, as well as those comparison pics I posted a few pages back would, in the very least, get her foot in the door. Assuming she would be interested.
