We are Amazons!! The Amazonians Casting Thread - Part 1

[jokesonm3]

Didn't you suggest them for Catwoman?

Anyway, now we can assume who'll play Hippolyta - Wright, Anaya or Thewlis.

Hopefully Wright.

 

[Lobo]

Wright will be excellent as Hippolyta or Hera. I believe she will be playing the former.

 

[Jekecy]

I'm not so much concerned with lack of A-listers as I am with unexciting casting choices. None of these names inspire a spark in me, and I'm doubly disappointed with the cinematographer (why??) and costume designer.

As of now, Patty remains the confidence booster for this production. Fingers crossed.

 

[Bullseye1]

Robin Wright. Maybe playing Hippolyta or maybe even Hera depending on whether the movie takes largely from the New 52. As Hippolyta is seldom seen in the story or current comic maybe Hera makes more sense as she has a significant part in the current book. Will be interesting to see. Last see in House of Cards.



Danny Housten. Well established character actor seen in many roles with pretty solid rang. Is not a newcomer to the fantasy realm having previously played Poseidon. Could he be Ares or even WW father Zeus.



David Thewlis well known British character actor who has a very good range but normally seen as a scheming villain and likeable friend or confidant.



Ewen Bremner a Scottish actor best known for his role in Trainspotting. Normally plays a geek (Predator) or easily intimidated character such as his character in Lock Stock and two smoking barrels.




Saïd Taghmaoui previously confirmed in twitter post. A solid character actor best known for his work in French cinema and in America cinema normally as an Arab bad guy.



Elena Anaya this one is out of left field an actress from Spain and best known in Europe for her roles in Spanish films. You can see her work in Pedro Almodovar’s The Skin I live In. Is she an Amazonian or a more significant role. Could she be in fact Hippolyta?




Lucy Davis best known for her role in the British comedy The Office but can also be seen in Shaun of the Dead. Possibly cast as Etta Candy.

I think Elena Anaya looks more like a fellow Amazon like Artemis or someone else, or maybe a female villain like Cheetah. She doesn't really strike me as Hippolyta. Maybe she has the role that Eva Green was rumoured for?

Her accent is what makes me pretty convinced she's an Amazon. Then again, her height is a bit on the short side for an Amazon...

Damn me if I know.

 

[Willi Berg]

I'm leaning towards Circe for Elena Anaya.

 

[jokesonm3]

In other words............. a talented cast.

 

[Dark Raven]

I'm leaning towards Circe for Elena Anaya.

Is that who Eva Green was rumoured to play?

 

[Willi Berg]

Is that who Eva Green was rumoured to play?

Yes.

Just because of what I've seen of Elena's personality and the role she played in "The Skin I Live In."

 

[jokesonm3]

Is that who Eva Green was rumoured to play?

Yeah.

 

[KillerWolf]

I'm leaning towards Circe for Elena Anaya.

Yeah, I think she fits this quite well. As I said, I'm leaning toward Amazon based of her rather thick accent:

Anyway, she's a lovely looking lady.

 

[jfurioso]

Amaya was one of the vampires brides in VAN HELSING.

I like the idea that the amazons themselves are mostly of actresses from the Mediterranean, Latin countries or the middle east. I hope this is the case.

 

[Loki882]

-Robin Wright-Hippolyta obviously,
-Danny Huston-Zeus or Ares.
-David Thewlis-IDK, Dr. Psycho?
-Lucy Davis-Etta Candy.
-Elena Anaya-Circe or maybe Artemis.
-Ewen Bremner-Lennox maybe?
-Said-I have no clue.

[Airwings]

Didn't you suggest them for Catwoman?

Strange, huh?

Like how people suggest Gosling, Hunnam or Hedlund for 5 CB characters each

 

[Unbreakable Lex]

So Queen Jennay, eh? Forest and Lt. Dan are down. As is Mr. Underwood.

 

[jaymes_e06]

I like Robin better than Nicole for the role.

 

[KillerWolf]

Heh, fair point.

 

[Rowsdower!]

Oh, SH**. I just realized that I have seen Elena Anaya before.

Gentlemen, if you haven't seen a film called Room in Rome, STOP WHAT YOU'RE DOING RIGHT NOW. GO HOME AND WATCH IT. I BELIEVE IT'S STILL ON NETFLIX.

Seriously, you won't be sorry.

Oh, I'm aware breh. lawd.

 

[Lily Adler]

I'm actually in favor for this thread to be renamed Robin Wright IS Hippolyta.

 

[flickchick85]

Oh ****, I hadn't realized Elena Anaya is the girl from The Skin I Live In. Awesome. Anyone who hasn't seen that, do it ASAP! You will NOT be prepared, lol.

I tried to look away, but could not.
