    Ah, I see... some sort of local TV show, I assume?

    Nice to know that we'll see Hippolyta in action.

    Not that it wasn't gonna happen, but its nice to see some confirmation.

    Lynda Carter should've played Queen Hippolyta. Would've been a great way to pass the torch so to speak.

    Lynda Carter is 65 years old, and as great a personality as she is and as great an ambassador for WW... She's not the greatest of actresses either. So that would blunt the film in terms of drama and action, as she likely wouldn't be in the shape to handle all the fighting and action we've seen Connie involved with. Changing the story they had just to have Carter do a cameo would have been silly.

    Also, Lynda Carter may look great for her age, but she doesn't sound great. Her voice sounds like that of a little old woman these days, which would not be fitting for Hippolyta at all. It's better that Connie Nielsen is playing the part.

    I adore Connie's accent and she's fiercer than I expected.

    From the trailer, it seems she affected an accent for the role; but in RL, she sounds "American."

    I do wonder how big a role the Amazons will have in this film overall? I mean we know that they're at least present early on on the island. But then once Diana leaves to go fight in WWI, what will their role be then and how large will it be?

    I can't wait to see Connies depiction of Hippolyta. I'm rewatching the WW tv series and Cloris Leachman sadly is not anywhere near as iconic as Lynda Carter was, she seems drunk during the pilot movie lol.

    She's not passing a torch. WW is not hers. She played the character in a TV show, that's great and all. But no, she should not have been Queen Hippolyta because of that fact.

    They made the right decision casting Connie. And I'd have to agree that her accent is perfection. :ilv:

    She's Danish though. Apparently she's fluent in Italian, French, German, English, Danish, and other Scandinavian languages.

    Connie was so great in this! I've never heard of her before but she was so well cast. Can't wait to see her again as Hippolyta. And also I'm glad I know how to pronounce her name now! I used to say Hippo-litre lol

    Loved Connie in her shortish role as Hippolyta. She really conveyed love and care for Diana as well as sorrow when she left. And Connie is still hot as hell also!

    I'm glad she will be in JL. I really want to see a flashback of her leading the Amazons against Hercules though.

    Well, we know one person who has obviously never seen The Devil's Advocate.
