Lindsay Lohan wants to play Wonder Woman - brought to you by IMDB

"Female superheroes don't do well at the box office"

That's because they're supporting characters the star. Catwoman and Elektra should not have been made, neither are characters that work as the main role, plus they're both technically villians. Wonder Woman could really work, the character has already worked on the small screen and has big screen potential and with Joss Whedon writing I think will work, he's had success in the female hero genre with Buffy and made a great big screen movie and I think with a character like Wonder Woman, it may actually get the attention it deserves from the general public.

well, Catwoman could've worked, if only they didn't f*** it up. but I guess that's asking too much...

You mean a Jubilee solo movie wouldnt work?

Taylor Cole would be nice.

Shes the best candidate and looks so much like Lynda Carter. It was confirmed that Joss desires a relatively unknown actress too. Shes at the perfect age 22/23 to play Diana in this origins story.


And BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! I love Lohan's sense of humor.

if she were a better actress, she could work...

Both of those movies could have worked VERY well if it wasn't for the poor creative team

 

[Kevin Roegele]

The sad thing is, I can easily see the studio trying to get Lohan cast. Lohan = teenage girl audience, which is the huge demographic which never goes to superhero movies.

 

[Darthphere]

And we all know comic fans will watch it regardless of whos in it.

 

[Stringer]

Well thats the end of this movie

 

[JackBauer]

And we all know comic fans will watch it regardless of whos in it.

well, if Lohan was cast I definitely wouldn't pay to watch it...

 

[Darthphere]

well, if Lohan was cast I definitely wouldn't pay to watch it...

Id get free tickets and make fun of it the whole day and annoy everyone in the theatre for paying to watch this garbage.

 

[Morg]

oh vey! a third thread about Lohan as WW? closing and merge it later to other

This was the original.

If she's naked and doing a crab walk a la Family Guy, I will plunk down 8 bucks for a ticket. And you can quote me on that.

There. Quoted.

For those who say 'female superhero movie' don't work, think about this:

Wonder Woman is probably one of the most admired superheroes around. Trust me, alot of girls out there like Wonder Woman, even if they're not comic fans. Hell, my girlfriend likes Wonder Woman.

Lohan is not the way to go. She should go ahead with Herbie 2 instead.

 

[CConn]

Not to mention this film is actually being given a chance to succeed with a proper writer/director. Whereas most other female superhero films have been nothing more than studio rush-jobs.

Shes fine. Its not such a hard role to play. An outsider who doesnt fit in with humans, her acting and mannerisms would need to be a bit off...and thats about it.

I think honesty... (realistically) its going to come down to 'sex appeal' to sell this film and bring in large numbers to the non-comicbook fans.

 

[Mr Sensitive]

Relax, fellows,
she won't play WW. She's just trying to call attention to the fact she wants another kind of roles. That's all.

 

[The Overlord]

While Lindsay Lohan does fall in the age bracket for the role, I don't think she would be a viable candidate. Most notably because of her height.

I'd rather see Hilary Duff pursue Supergirl than Lindsay Lohan receive the role of Wonder Woman.

She doesn't fall in the age bracket, Wonder Woman should look like she's in her late 20s or early 30s, not look like a 19 year old.

I'm afraid that's very true.

Just remember, films like "Aeon Flux", "Elektra", "Red Sonja", and "Ultraviolet" supposedly had sex appeal but did not do well at the boxoffice. I wouldn't count on the sex appeal factor making "Wonder Woman" a great film for that reason (you just can't count young males taking their dates out to see a sexy woman on film). The film will need to be either family friendly or heavy on the drama and romance with a good seasoning of action to get people to go see it in droves.

 

[comicbookmaster]

Lindsay Lohan is Wonder Woman?? she's hot but not as Wonder Woman!!!

 

[Katsuro]

I dont even know why people would discuss this, it wont happen. She has about as much chance of being Wonder Woman as Michael Clarke Duncan.

 

[MODOK]

everybody knows that pre-crisis lohan was hotter than post-crisis...but even then she shouldn't be let anywhere NEAR this movie

LMAO!
