Official Wonder Woman Casting Suggestions [merged-13]

[KBX]

they are stupid if they cast a girl thats 5'5"

Unless she got some 4 inches on her heals, some of the other leaguers will have to look down to talk to her.

Still think this is bogus

[Rac]

They should just cast Monica Dean. Fans would be happy. She doesn't cost that much. WB would be happy.

[phoenixflight]

Yeah but she sure is easy on the eyes:

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!!

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 $$$.

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.

Monica Dean is far better than anyone who's been rumored to audition for the role.

:up: :up:

[Leon the Professional]

This Monica Dean seems as perfect for Wonder Woman as Christopher Reeve was for Superman.


But hell will freeze over before WB and Miller cast an actual woman for the role of Wonder Woman. If not Winstead it will be some other girly girl.

The way studios reason, it's really a miracle we got Christian Bale for Batman.

[Leon the Professional]

I will go so far as to say that if they were to cast Monica Dean as WW, I will actually begin to care about this Justice League movie.

I would accept her as WW.

She has the looks and lets hope she can act well.

How old is she...and what has she done recently?

[az824]

all she's done is an episode of lost, which she did pretty well. she's 28

Monica Dean has done a little more than just 'Lost'. Here is her resume...
http://imdb.com/name/nm1715144/

She sometimes goes by her real name, Monica Barladeanu, instead of the shortened Dean.

[Jake Cassidy]

Yeah but she sure is easy on the eyes:

This girl is terrible for Wonder Woman. The above picture is the only one where she actually looks good. If you look at other pictures, she doesn't really look like that. That's just a good split-second where a photo was snapped. Here are some more accurate photos:

You know, I kinda feel bad bashing some poor girl just because she's been connected with playing Wonder Woman. Don't get me wrong, she's beautiful, but she just doesn't have the right qualities for Wonder Woman.

Well clearly if the article is true, the people doing the casting obviously feel otherwise, and there is sweet F-all anyone can do about it. If she is chosen, they must have seen an awesome enough performance from her to warrant the role in spite of her not physically matching the characters comic book physical characteristics. If she gives a knock out performance, will there still be complaints I wonder...

[Damiean Dark]

I just hope whoever is cast (and monica dean does look the part) has a vigorous work out plan before filming. when i see WW i want her to have some good muscle not former WWE wrestler Chyna muscle! but good defined muscle i want her to look like she can handle herself. and when i see WW run i dont want to see that girlie run we got with Linda Carters WW i want to see her run like and olympic athelete not in speed of course but in style.

You know, nothing against you personally here, but I've heard this point before, that if a certain actor is cast, the people doing the casting must see something in them that we, the fans, aren't aware of. I think that's total bull*****. Who says that Hollywood casting directors are the be-all-and-end-all of good judgment with these characters? Their judgment isn't necessarily good just because they happen to have gotten the job casting a superhero movie. There are a slew of actors who have been in comic book movies who've delivered crappy performances (or weren't right for the part for one reason or another) and I have no clue why they were cast. I remember hearing this argument all the time about Brandon Routh before Superman Returns came out. Everyone was saying, "Well he won the role, so he must be the best and you don't know because you haven't seen the auditions." Everyone was saying that before they saw the movie and then, guess what? the movie came out and, surprise, Brandon Routh sucked. He sucked hard. Why was he cast? Because he had a vague resemblance to Christopher Reeve? Because Singer couldn't find anyone else? Because Singer was living in crazy land and actually thought he was a good actor? I don't know. The point is, I don't trust Hollywood to make these decisions one bit, whether I can see the auditions or not (and if you think Routh was actually good in SR (although I don't see how you could), then do I even need to mention the X-Men movies? Halle Berry? Anna Paquin? James Marsden? How about some non-Bryan Singer movies, Jennifer Garner? Jessica Alba anyone? Let's face it. Hollywood can't cast these parts right if their life depended on it. I don't trust them to get one superhero right and I certainly don't trust them to get the entire Justice League right. I mean, casting seven superheroes in one movie. They can't even get one superhero in a solo movie right!)

P.S. My rant excludes Nolan's Batman.

P.P.S. This is nothing against you personally, jmc. I don't want to get into an argument with you at all. It's just I've heard your point from a lot of other people on the boards, so I'm not really responding to you, but to your point in general, which I'm taking as an accumulative opinion on these boards.

Just to add something to my post, just look at the pictrues of Monica Dean on this page. Why isn't she cast? Why? There's no good reason. I'm sure there is a reason, but it's a shallow, Hollwood reason. If Hollwood had any interest in casting the right people for the part, Monica Dean would already be cast.

[ZIPBAGS]

Someone posted Monica Dean's agents email address. So I politely emailed them and told them if they haven't already done so....Make sure Monica gets an audition. :)

[buggs0268]

Her agent said no deal is set. And MEW is still the strongest contender we are hearing. Lets wait till we get confirmation. But if they did chose her, boy did they really blow it.

Remember when i came out that Caviezel was cast as Superman and he wasn't.

[Rogzilla]

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'.

This is too funny. You are AGREEING with me yet arguing!

I am not saying this is what I think...I have been trying to explain what the studios are thinking, not how things should be done. We should see Wonder Woman, Green Lantern, Flash and Aquaman movies first and THEN have a cross over.

So yes, this is how the studio is going to do it. At this point, I am quite happy to see these characters on screen at last. But this isn't how I imagined it would happen.

From what I have read, I think it will be a good film (assuming the latter script is the true one). But you need to remember something. These companies are in the business of making money, not making art. They aren't going to put millions behind a film that wont make money...well they do but they think it will.

Nothing personal taken :woot:

You are right about some of the casting in previous movies, some of the casting has been shocking, but they went hand in hand with very,very bad scripts and one-dimensional characters. Maybe it's because the studios just don't care that much about adapting comic book characters, it's sadly still considered by many to be a 'kids' thing.

Casting is so difficult, it's easy for us to say 'he/she isn't right for the role', we're not the ones who have to make the decision, we're aren't the ones who have to sit through hours of auditions, going through the good and the bad. In the end, they're the ones in charge, the fans aren't, you may be right, but you may just as well be wrong and vise versa, sadly we just have to accept it. And lets be fair on Teresa Palmer though, she is an AFI nominated actress (Aussie Oscars) for a really gritty Aussie film about teen suicide, she may not have the physical look, but she can act, that is perhaps what possibly got her the gig over the other contenders, if it is indeed confirmed.

Sadly, it's not about the art, which is a shame because film is an awesome medium, it's just a shame they are dumbing it down yearly with bad story, mind numbing FX and crap characters. 'Give 'em some special effect and some pretty actors and actresses and that'll please 'em". Maybe it's just a generational thing and they're catering for what I like to call Generation X-box, I don't know, I just want good cinema, is it too much to ask!!!!???? :huh: I just want to spend my hard earned $15 and 2 hours of my life enjoying a good story!!!!

Well, I can't argue with that. One thing I will say, though, is that I've done casting before. In fact, I did casting for a comic book movie and it's not as difficult as you might think. If you know what the essence of the character needs to be, then it's easy to narrow it down and cast someone who embodies those qualities. Hollywood really has no excuses. With the resources they have, they should be getting it right every time.

[Nokio]

Well clearly if the article is true, the people doing the casting obviously feel otherwise, and there is sweet F-all anyone can do about it.

Oh here we go again with another miscast. This girl looks more like HawkGirl then WW. What happened to MEW? I can't belive that Wb is starting this miscast crap like marvel. A freaking blonde for raven haired WW? God I get this feeling that this chick is going to be wearing a damn wig.

I think people are A) jumping to conclusions, nothings been confirmed, B) wrong declaring it's a miscast, what if she's good?

And what's wrong with her wearing a wig, it's just part of the makeup!

[CGHulk]

edit: I sent the pictures over to the Teresa Palmer Is Wonder Woman thread.

[Mig-El]

I'm not complaining.

[Jake Cassidy]

Didn't Chris Reeve wear a wig in Superman?

[CGHulk]

Didn't Chris Reeve wear a wig in Superman?
Only in Superman 3 and 4.

[Jake Cassidy]

Still wore a wig though.

[Steelsheen]

She's kinda cute, but a not quite an Amazon at 5'5 3/4"

http://img220.imageshack.us/img220/7807/tphx1.jpg

she's too damn short! :cmad: :cmad: are they casting for Wonder Woman or Wonder Girl?! are they too stupid that they cant tell the difference between WW and WG?!


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,

http://img267.imageshack.us/img267/2070/megangaleds9.jpg

But she does have great stage presence...
hnB-FIPpKpo

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

hmm, you've got a point about the stage presence. quite a magnanimous personality there. has she done any acting?



Didn't Chris Reeve wear a wig in Superman?
IIRC, he wore one in the 1st and 2nd Superman films.

[Last Gunfighter]

she's too damn short! :cmad: :cmad: are they casting for Wonder Woman or Wonder Girl?! are they too stupid that they cant tell the difference between WW and WG?!

If the rumour is true, then I'd say definitely, they are stupid. The "Height Doesn't Matter" crowd emerges victorious!

[LadyVader]

Height does NOT matter. What matters is how one carries herself. I would have no problem with a young Salma Hayek playing Wonder Woman for instance. She may be short, but she is a beautiful powerful woman, I want somebody like THAT for Wonder Woman.

Teresa Palmer looks like a beautiful girl. And I stress... girl.

Man, I remember when Monica Barladeanu was hosting ****ty talkshows on B1TV, romanian television station. I can't believe how popular she is around here. :) I mean seriously though, if we could have a Romanian playing Wonder Woman I would... I can't even describe how I'd feel but I guess it's something akin to pride.

[jmc]

You can fake looks and height easily, this is film, it is nothing but illusion, smoke and mirrors, slight of hand, choose your cliche, but it's the performance that counts the most, it's the performance which brings the character to life, not her hair, not her height, if she embodies the character perfectly I ask, what is there to complain about? Just because she doesn't fit 'fan criteria' doesn't mean she won't do the character justice, Teresa Palmer could very well be perfect, yet people already seem to be dismissing her over a petty issue such as height.

[Crazymaverick]

Listen up kids!



According to infamous_emijayne over at IESB & countingdown:



The information I have so far about the cast list, Teresa Palmer is not Wonder Woman. It may have changed, but I doubt it. Remember, tons of sites covered the Rupert Evans as Superman story and I shot that rumor down in less than 24 hours. Robert provided back up to my post by contacting the same source.

The full cast is coming out in few days. Whether its me or Robert who posts it or not, someone is gonna leak it out.


I have a full list but two names (for Batman and Aquaman) are still being confirmed. As I've said previously, I'm willing to bet Robert has the list too and will be confirming things while in L.A. So either way, everyone should know soon. I will say that I'm not disappointed.





I say we wait a couple of days before freaking out till this thing is resolved one way or another.

[dark_b]

couple of days could be two weeks.

How about Jodi Lyn O'Keefe for WW? She was in some TV series and in the Three Doors Down "Let me go" video. She's 5' 10".

and btw, hi :woot: . First time poster, but I visit the site every day

[Crazymaverick]

Update from infamous_emijayne:


1. Casting is done and everyone from what I'm told is under contract. Only two names are still being confirmed.

2. Jon Stewart is Green Lantern in this film.

3. There will be two people playing Flash. Barry Allen will die and Wally West will take over.

4. Teresa Palmer is not on the list I was given and I'm waiting to hear back from her agent or someone else in the office.

[az824]

um..why didnt you put that in spoilers? thats pretty big for those who dont know, like ME!!

[Psionic Force]

Jon Stewart? As in Daily Show Jon Stewart? bad choice.....

[Jake Cassidy]

John Stewart not Jon. That's the name of the character.

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").

NO!...................

......................................... Indira for Talia:cwink::woot:.

[Majik1387]

^NO

Same goes for Talia

[Ibn]

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:

http://www.hbo.com/rome/img/cast/actor/actor_indiravarma.jpg


Damn though, right there she looks like hyppolyta

[Bruce Logan]

Well clearly if the article is true, the people doing the casting obviously feel otherwise, and there is sweet F-all anyone can do about it. If she is chosen, they must have seen an awesome enough performance from her to warrant the role in spite of her not physically matching the characters comic book physical characteristics. If she gives a knock out performance, will there still be complaints I wonder...

Did Jessica Alba's performance in the FF movies blow people away?

[Ibn]

^NO

Same goes for Talia


Yep. Talia she is.

[Majik1387]

No to her for Talia.:o

[DIRECTOR]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

LOL. QFT. :hyper:

[GNR]

Wow fanboys with no lives taking cracks at a hot actress who isn't even confirmed yet?

Pathetic.

[Kel]

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.


Shouldn't she be brunette? You would think with all of the blond actresses in Hollywood they could cast one for this role....


hehehehehe.......:cwink:

[Laderlappen]

No to her for Talia.:o Agree. Not her for Talia. Actually no Talia at all.

[ant3ros]

Teresa Palmer is pretty. That should satisfy most people. I'm not going to judge her as far as acting goes because WW is a very unique role, so we should all just wait to see what's delivered.

[toddly6666]

Kate Bosworth, Scarlett Johansen, and Cameron Diaz are pretty blondes as well, but they make skanky brunettes. This would be retarded casting a blond for the role of Wonder Woman. We don't want the impression that Wonder Woman dyes her hair.

'Skanky brunettes'...I would have to differ on that thought. They may not always look their best (whether it's their natural hair color or not), but I don't think Cameron Diaz looks 'skanky' in this photo...

http://img151.imageshack.us/img151/7753/cameronso6.jpg

And if it's a good dye job, on one will ever know that WW's hair color is a dye job. With that said, I would prefer they pick a natural brunette. It would just make me feel better.

Genius - casting unknown, unproven, children actors in a movie with characters that require depth.

All they have to do is bring in Tim Story to direct and I'll be sure to throw eggs at anyone waiting in line to see this piece of crap.

Tim Story directing this lol. If they want it to go down the chute.

[Ares23]

Guys I think they (jla producer and people involve) are really smart, maybe they just give us this falses spoilers about who will play Wonder Woman (because she is really important) to freak us out, because they know that is a way to have the fans distract it of the real actresse that will play the part!
I trust in that :D that blond girl is not Diana, and well she is kind of pretty but not for a hero role

[Majik1387]

^I don't know if WB is that smart.

[Nighthawk_Fan]

The only thing WB cares about is money.

[KangConquers]

She's hot...but she's a little young.

She's younger than I am. I always saw Diana, like Superman as being eternally 30.

[Golgo-13]

Teresa Palmer looks like she's barely past adolescence. Just as i suspected this pic is heading down the toilet....this is obviously gonna be geared towards the OC/Smallville/Laguana Beach/Mtv crowd which = flop. :csad:

As yes Indira Varma would have made a great WW.

[lujho]

Uh, are there any acors and actresses who are eternally 30? No, they age like the rest of us, which it's why it's better to cast a little young. I want a LONG running series if this movie's any good - I don't understand people's desire to just knock out a trilogy as fast as you can and call it a day.

That said, Palmer is not really my idea of WW, but it's hardly her age that's a problem. Her wonky eye is a bit of a problem though.

Weirdly, I used to work with a girl who was best friends with Palmer.

[daphonzo]

You guys are aware that this JLA movie is being done as animation, resembling the 'Polar express' movie of a few years ago?

[Ares23]

Im pretty sure that Palmer will not going to be WW!
Thats for sure! in two weeks were gonna have another name to cast as WW!

[lujho]

You guys are aware that this JLA movie is being done as animation, resembling the 'Polar express' movie of a few years ago?

Uh, no it bloody isn't. It's live action. The mo-cap rumour was shot down almost as soon as it started.

Weta workshop sure as hell aren't creating the costumes for an animated film.

[Majik1387]

You guys are aware that this JLA movie is being done as animation, resembling the 'Polar express' movie of a few years ago?
That rumor was debunked a while ago.

[Last Gunfighter]

In my opinion...Height does NOT matter. What matters is how one carries herself. I would have no problem with a young Salma Hayek playing Wonder Woman for instance. She may be short, but she is a beautiful powerful woman, I want somebody like THAT for Wonder Woman.

Teresa Palmer looks like a beautiful girl. And I stress... girl.



Thank you for sharing your opinion:cwink:

You can fake looks and height easily, this is film, it is nothing but illusion, smoke and mirrors, slight of hand, choose your cliche, but it's the performance that counts the most, it's the performance which brings the character to life, not her hair, not her height, if she embodies the character perfectly I ask, what is there to complain about? Just because she doesn't fit 'fan criteria' doesn't mean she won't do the character justice, Teresa Palmer could very well be perfect, yet people already seem to be dismissing her over a petty issue such as height.

The complaint is that Teresa Palmer does not fit the physical criteria of someone who IHMO should play WW. Smoke and mirrors doesn't fool everybody.

BTW it is not "Fan Criteria" as you derisively put it that came up with WW's physical characteristics.

Read the comics people.

If not then we'll just have to agree to disagree on this.

[GoldGoblin]

If height didn't matter,then why not cast Vern Troy as Batman.

[OobeDoobBenubi]

They should have got Amanda Righetti. She is 5'8 & she has the boobs & the heigh & okay acting & a better choice all around then Teresa

I was told as of 5 days ago that MEW was the leading contender but things do change.

It's believed to be False

[batboy99]

thank god!
MEW better get the role

[Lobo]

According to Sanchez she's the leading contender for the part :)

im trying to work on another JLA ensemble pic with MEW as WW, but i just got a new 19'' monitor and all my pics look streched out now :(

I would love to see Sarah Lancaster as Wonder Woman you can watch her every week in Chuck (great tv show). I actually think she would be a great Wonderwoman, every time I see her I think Wonderwoman, she's pefect: slim, brunette, good looking, and tall (5'8).

Not everyone on the forum is in America. Forums have their own laws.

Anyway, I'm glad the actual WW casting isn't up to us. It's a difficult cast because there's so many choices, and none of us really know what sort of Justice League movie they are making so no way could anyone here pick the "perfect" WW for the movie.

[Sloth7d]

I think it's impossible to pick a perfect Wonder Woman for anyone. Finding the woman with the right physique will be the hardest part. WW isn't a tooth pick and she's pretty strong, both of which show. Most of the women mentioned so far are pretty skinny and just don't have the right build for the amazonian.

Well, it's probably for the best right now. As long as this project has been in developmental hell, along with the money WB has spent over the years on this project, it's quite evident that in spite of all of that, WB still are clueless on exactly what to do with a Wonder Woman film. And that's a damn shame really.
Personally, I think a WW flick would have great potential to be a success (Batman numbers are more than likely than Spidey numbers though) under the right direction and story.

But apparently, who knows if or when that will ever happen. :o

That's silly. Films about Ghost Rider and Blade have made a profit. A good Wonder Woman movie with plenty of cool monsters/whatever for her to fight would surely do fine enough.

Quite frankly, these guys are staggeringly inept if they can't figure out how to film Diana; Perez already wrote the perfect source material for a film origin story.

[Kel]

Profit, yes.....how much?

I think it would probably fall among the smaller budgets, therefore needing a smaller amount to make a profit....

So profit? yes.

[Ares23]

It is true about the rumour that Megan Gale made the cast for the role? Because if is like that it will be a amazing option!

[Majik1387]

No, it's not true.

And amazing is the opposite of what it would be.

[Laderlappen]

Seriously, who would want Megan Gale in the movie? The secretary from 'Stealth'?

[batboy99]

bleh, shes ugly too, shes only has 1 pic where she looks good

[Mercurius]

Are you all out of your minds? Megan Gale would be great if they could come up with it.

And is she not beautiful? She is not only stunning but also totally WW material. :ww:

Grab some pics of Gale modelling recently on flickr and tell me with honesty if the woman is not 100% WW. :hyper:

She has my vote. She's tall, beautiful, has an amazing body (huge shoulders) liquid-clear eyes, Mediterranean tan on her skin, and what else. She looks far more than just human. :oldrazz:

Megan Gale is HOT!!! I could envision her as the NEW face of Wonder Woman...

http://img138.imageshack.us/img138/6940/megancolorsqh9.jpg

She's got the right height 5' 11" for the character and is 32 yrs old!! She doesn't need to workout, she's got good 'athletic' size for Princess Diana. Can she act, not sure, but she should be given a chance to prove herself like anyone else.

http://img267.imageshack.us/img267/2070/megangaleds9.jpg

Here is a clip of her on Rove, an Aussie talk show. I like the way she presents herself.

hnB-FIPpKpo

Although an Aussie, she got her fame in Italy. She started out really late as a model (age 24). She has been described in an article as "Italy's hottest star since Sophia Loren". She played herself in the movie, "Vacanze di Natale" and received top billing. She was Viviana in "Stregata Dalla Luna" and spoke entirely in Italian. She also had a very very small part in "Stealth".

How much acting did Lynda Carter (or even Christopher Reeve) have before they became the icons to millions?

I could definitely see Megan Gale in the role!!!

[Majik1387]

Lynda Carter had t play Wonder Woman in a campy TV Show akin to the 60's Batman, no acting skills were necessary.

[phoenixflight]

Still, she did a highly momerable job (and her acting fit with the way the show was written). And what about Christopher Reeve?? He was in soap opera (for 3 - 4 years) before landing the role of Superman.

[Majik1387]

I agree but those require more acting than any of the fashion shows or interviews Gale has done, including the bit part in Stealth.

[phoenixflight]

Not that I am trying to go toe-2-toe with you (lol), but what about the Italian film that she starred, I wonder how she was in that?? Has anyone seen the movie and can rate her acting ability (or lack of...)??

I still like her look compared to many of the choices out there that are rumored!!

[Laderlappen]

You don't cast somebody in a movie based on looks and HOPE that she can act. Play a secretary in a crappy movie is abolutely NOT enough to play the probably second most popular female character in comicbook history. You guys cast with your dlcks. She's not even that goodlooking.

Again, based on the rumored actresses/woman chosen for the role, I would feel most comfortable with Megan Gale as a choice over the others. This choice has nothing to do with my 'dick', it is based soley on who has been rumored. Now, if we were talking about bonafide actress contenders (really great Oscar worthy), that's a completely different ball game (no pun intended).

[Laderlappen]

But you must have a favourit choice of your own right? A sane choice I mean.

[phoenixflight]

But you must have a favourit choice of your own right? A sane choice I mean.

Yes I do...there have been many choices over the years based on whether WW's solo adventure is an origin pic or not.

In my series of choices, I have chosen as my Amazonn Princess (not basing it on 'perfect resemblance to WW' or age of the actresses, but rather the wealth of their acting)...Jennifer Connelly, Monica Bellucci, Morena Baccarin. I really love the look of Monica Dean and also Manuela Arcuri, however, I am not sure of her acting range. I have even looked at Taylor Cole (however, I have never seen anything she has done).

Who are your top contenders?

[terry78]

When casting a female, guys will always go with how hot she is over her acting skills. It's ingrained in us. They'd rather have an attractive female with limited skills than an A-lister that only looks average. I said Eva Green time and time again, but the consensus is that she ain't hot enough.

[ariellem]

Eva Green has striking eyes, but she was way too skinny in the new Bond movie to be WW. Looked way too young there too.

How about looking for some nice-looking ACTRESSES who are good ACTORS and then giving them personal trainers, makeup people, and "movie magic" to help with their looks if needed? That's what they do for Superman, Batman, etc. more often than not.

Alternative: someone, please, make a porn version of WW starring a lot of the women suggested here who probably wouldn't really be acting in a real WW movie so some of the folks here can get it out of their systems.

[DrayvensCrow]

Actually, they have a few times but the preferred thing to do is have pics in a shoddy rip off costume so that WB/DC can't come after them. Although if you can find someone Like Summer Cummings who would do a short for pay, that might get made before Silver's. LOL

[Steelsheen]

It is very much like that, well said. :hyper:

It's not a question of looks versus acting skills: I suppose that when you find someone so fit for the role you should at least consider the idea. If they consider it, she'll be submitted to a test, and so forth.

I also like Eva Green, or Jennifer Connelly, or Taylor Cole, or Monica Dean. They have different ages, sizes and acting skills (Green and Connelly are far beyond the others in that specific department), but they all have great resemblance with the character AND - which is probably more important - that elegance and the ability toconvey the assertiveness we expect from WW.

Megan Gale also has it. When Lynda Carter (mostly a model, back then) was chosen for the part, you can be sure that her experience as a model counted for it: they are trained very hard to express what seems to us just natural elegance and confidence. :o

[Mercurius]

On a second thought, maybe I don't want any of these women attached to Justice League.

Columbus Short just turned down the role of Green Lantern on the basis that the movie will be "too much popcorn" for him. He is the second to do that.

Yikes! maybe I won't even want to watch it in the first place. :oldrazz:

[Laderlappen]

How can she fit when she has never acted before?

[Mercurius]

She did, in fact. Nothing remotely important, but she did.

And that may be her breakthrough role: she is the personal embodyment of WW, perhaps that is her golden part on the big screen.

It will be really hard to find someone with so many WW's physical features and demeanour.

BUT, as I said before, if it s totally popcorn... :dry:

[Laderlappen]

Wow. She must have really impressed you in 'Stealth'. It doesn't bother you at all that she has less acting experience than Paris Hilton? I'm mean it is a MOVIE we are talking about.

dude, be careful in believing what you read. Winstead-- who auditioned for WW, said they werent given the script to read from or even the characters they were auditioning for. so Short getting to read the script itself is baloney, he probably got a hold of the bogus script WB was circulating to throw fans off track and said that he's turning down the role. riiiiiight :whatever:

Where do you think A-list actors came from? They had to start somewhere. Look at George Clooney, he got his first real break in the TV show Facts of Life. All I'm trying to say is everyone started from somewhere low on the totem pole, they weren't a hit right off the bat, with some exceptions to that, there have been only a few to do that.

We have time to see her act some more, since WW isn't going to be made into a solo film anytime soon. I say wait until we see her act some more, before making a premature decision. It doesn't hurt to hire an acting coach and make some more films. Let's see what she can do first.

Maybe she's right for the part, maybe she's not. Don't assume anything based off one and only role she's done. That's doesn't mean anything.

There's the answer.

And it really doesn't bother me. Paris Hilton and Magan Gale: different persons, different situations, etc.

A really impressive Brazilian movie, City of God, used people who had never acted before. They're far better than most actors on regular movies. :o

They're far better than most actors on regular movies. :oSo you are picking some random person(Gale) based on absoulutely nothing(never acted) because sometimes SOME people that never acted before is good(very, very rarely). City Of God was a very small budget film. So they can't use any great actors. And they didn't pick some random people based on looks. They auditioned. Pick a better comparation than a lowbudget foreign film. Never have anybody got one of the main roles in sucha bigbudget movie as this without even doing any acting before. That includes theatre. Never as sucha popular character as Wonder Woman.
You have never seen her act. You have never seen her doing an audition. Still you think she might be good.

Don't pretend it. You just want her in the movie because you think she's hot, and wanna see some hot piece of ass in a sexy costume so you can pleasure yourself. No other reason can you want her.

So please tell me, what other reason do you want her in the movie? If it's not for her acting experience, and it's not becasue you think she's hot, what other reason makes you go: Are you all out of your minds? Megan Gale would be great if they could come up with it.



And is she not beautiful? She is not only stunning but also totally WW material.
?

and don't say it's becasue sometimes unexperienced actors are good because that's not an argument.

[jmc]

^ Wonder Woman is an Amazon, if anything she should look Mediterranean. Just coz she wears a star spangled swimsuit doesn't make her a yank.

[Laderlappen]

I think the actress should. It would be annoying if she spoke with an accent. And it would be kinda out of place if she spoke with a clear american accent but looked foreign. Lynda Carter was american and spoke with an american accent. And what I remember from the animated show, Wonderwoman spoke with an american accent. Same thing goes for Superman. He's not american, but I think he should be played by one or atleast somebody not-ethnic. Because he definetly look and sound american.
