New WONDER WOMAN Screenwriter Aboard!
Hey folks, Harry here... This morning Variety is announcing that a new screenwriter is taking the writing duties on WONDER WOMAN at Warner Brothers. Screenwriter Peter Levens is the key-tapper at task for this tale of an Amazonian Princess here amongst us.
The project has long been troubled and cursed with scripts the likes of which to turn you kill crazy mad, but recently the project had a change in fates when it wound up in Joel Silver's happy lap. From what I hear, they are now looking to take Wonder Woman back to her origins... Does this mean we'll see her fighting the War God MARS or does it mean she'll take on the Nazis and the Japanese? I'm not sure... Will we find out how she traded identities with Diana Prince, the army nurse that gave Wonder Woman her name, as she married and became Diana White? God, I'd love to see Wonder Woman judo toss a rampaging wild elephant back into his cage! Personally I'd love to see this film have that timeless feel.
It has been a long process of adaptation so far for Wonder Woman... There's been Becky Johnston, Jon Cohen, Todd Alcott, Charles Moulton and Kimberlee Reed... and that's just who I've known about. But who is this Philip Levens chap? Well, he's got a wonder woman script set to shoot soon already. Not the superhero, but the wonder woman known as Patricia Highsmith. He adapted her novel, FOUND IN THE STREET which is set to go into production with Kirsten Dunst, Clive Owen and Christopher Walken aboard. That's actually a film to watch as it will mark the directorial debut of Steppenwolf Theater co-founder, Terry Kinney and is being produced by fellow Steppenwolf legend, John Malkovich. Levens has created a pilot for Joel Silver and now he's tapped to do justice to that woman with the nifty bracelets, that golden lasso and well... that Amazonian warrior look. Personally, I hope they cast this with a WOMAN, not just some hot chick, but a strong and powerful woman with that allure needed to convince us she can kick ass. My ass would definitely be in a seat if Carrie-Anne Moss was aboard... What about you?

would be a terrible Wonder Woman.

Is this really needed?

All this BAD news about super-hero movies lately. Bummer. Carrie Ann-Moss? She's cool, but nowhere near as sexy as Wonderwoman should be. There's really no established actress right now who'd be a good Wonder Woman. Maybe an unknown. Please not some "face" actress that is a money choice. But I suppose that's too much to ask for. And now shitty white costume and no powers storylines, okay?

by arnold horshack
JOSS WHEDON. I mean, really, doesn't Wonder Woman seem perfect for him? She's a chick that kicks ass. He has plenty of experience with that, and he could make the leap to feature films, which would make him happy, and maybe he could break the DC/Warner streak by writing something that's actually good.
-
I'm not normally one of those creepy jerk off to animation type of guys, but every time I see Justice League on cartoon network, I stop and think about how incredibly fucking awesome Wonder Woman would be if she were real. I'm with Harry on this one, we need a babe who is built. Not too young, not too old, but a real woman. if Catwoman hasn't soured Ashley Judd on superhero movies, lets get her ass in the Invisible Jet. Have Joel Silver give her the Matrix trainging treatment, really teach her to fight and get her in shape and stuff. I don't really care where the story goes, as long as its treated responsibly. She's royalty, she kicks ass because she has to. find that line between the slutty and the sexy that Hollywood hasn't been paying attention to lately, and put Wonder Woman on it. She's beautiful and a feminist force.

by pumpymcass
Comic book films as a rule miss the mark because of all the money involved in the project. This forces them to be PG-13 and very safe. So, though that does not affect this feature as much as some others (Batman franchise), we can all sit back and expect a middling movie.
-
She's the only one that I can think of off the top of my head. She's talented, she's beautiful and she definitely has the Wonder Woman look.
-
You have those issues at home or did you get the pics from the net, Harry? Cool. I know Rocketeer, The Shadow and The Phantom are cursed by many but I'd like to see superhero(ine) film set in the past - WW would be ideal property for that. Jennifer Connelly sounds just about right for this, whoever suggested her. Athletic, beautiful, has acting chops.
-
She can't act for shit, but she looks the part.....
-
Carrie-Anne Moss is an inspired idea for casting, but I'm doubtful as to her enthusiasm for the project so soon after a year of bruises, broken limbs, hand-to-hand combat training and suffering filming back-to-back Matrix sequels. . . . I mean, she'd be in decent shape for it, but she's also suggested that Actioners might be off the agenda for a little while (and it's a deserved break). Still, I can't think of anyone *better* for the role: Lucy Lawless would be an in-joke; J-Lo would be woefully miscast; does Wonder Woman even need to be white, just because the comic was? She's an Amazon, which was considered to be Hellenic, but why not have Nubian or Polynesian features? . . . . I think that people might be unnecessarily narrowing the casting field by just thinking of what the comic character looked like (not everyone would agree with me, but I think that Michael Clark Duncan was absolutely the *perfect* Wilson Fisk). While Carrie-Anne Moss would be great, casting could benefit from being wide open at this stage in the project.
-
But yet to be convinced that it's gonna work. Apart from anything else, she's DC and this is surely Marvel's decade. And fanboys, is it possible that there will ever come a time when you think brunette without thinking Jennifer Connelly? Not that I don't like her, but she's never really been action girl, has she? I'm guessing they'll go for someone younger and possibly some unknown or relative unknown
-
Ugh. seriously. Just ugh. I'd want to see Wonder Woman if she was a part of a, fuck I dunno, KINGDOM COME adaptation. Aside from that, negative interest.
-
She might kick ass and be in great shape but they need a woman with a BODY on her for WW
-
Hulk Hogan to play her dad.

Get Krista Allen and i will.. :D

What about Lauren Graham who is on the WB's show "Gilmore Girls" ~ She'd rock!

I think not - the's the hack that fucked the Alien franchise over.

LOTS AND LOTS OF CLEAVAGE.....LITTLE BOYS EVERYWHERE ARE GOING TO NEED THIS TO DISCOVER THE JOYS OF WANKING....BE VERY VERY CAREFUL ON WHO YOU PUT INTO IT.....OTHERWISE...YOU CAN KISS THE
-
She'll be perfect. Old school beauty and the bod to fit (going by the Hulk trailers not her Oscar appearance when she looked like she was on an Allie McMeal diet). Moss simply doesn't have the body nor the face that would fit Diana's role. If Going with an origin story for the flic would be a great decision if they stay with it.
-
Normally I read your posts with a sort of bemused revulsion, but this time I have to agree with you. Without a proper set of wonder twins you're going to lose the horny young boy market. If she could just stop having babies for a while, I vote for Catherine Zeta Jones.

by red raider
...and a well proportioned rack is also a major pre-requisite for portraying the princess! I know that sounds sexist of me, but just look at the outfit she wears, for crissakes! Before she became yet another hollywood bonerack, Jennifer Connelly woud've been perfect to play WW. Personally, I'd love to see a Wonder Woman movie. If done correctly, a WW picture would entertain & inspire all, both men & women. I still get nervous that Warner Bros. is the studio overseeing this project. Lately they seem so inept at handling a superhero film. Batman & Robin have scarred them for life, methinks! Marvel Entertainment must use B&R as a model of "what not to do" when it comes to their superhero movie adaptions. **** Check out this site: http://www.seanbaby.com

In the comics today Wonder Woman can fly, just like Superman. The Invisible Jet I always found quite funny, especially on the old Superfriends show. ****http://www.seanbaby.com**** - the guy who made this site did a Superfriends section, and if you check out the Wonder Woman section, he points out(with images from the show to make his point) that, even though the jet was invisble, WW still couldn't see her feet at the controls. Nor could passengers see the people in the front seat! Hilarious shit! However, the section he did on the Legion of Doom(and especially lex Luthor & Giganta) are a scream! "HOLY SWEATER VESTS, IT'S THE LEGION OF DOOM!!!"
-
I would love to see Jennifer Garner in this role. She has the tough body, beautiful looks ,and intelligent looks we would hope for.
Was she spent on Elektra already, or is this still a possibility? -
I have one word for you all...Julie Strain! She may be a b-movie princess, but she's the only female around with the look, size, build, attitude, and strength to actually pull off an Amazonian Princess. Period. Not Carrie Ann Moss, not Sandra Bullock, not Jennifer Garner. Julie Strain!!

I, Margot Tenenbaum, goes LOTR on the Amazing Amazon.
by margot_tenenbaum
A Wonder Woman movie absolutely must be set during World War II. Imagine a brutal SAVING PRIVATE RYAN-type battle. The Americans are losing badly, and the Germans are advancing. Suddenly, like a vision, Wonder Woman appears walking directly into the German gunfire, nonchalantly deflecting bullets with her bracelets. She walks right through the German line. As she does, the soldiers drop their weapons in more awe than lust. She magic-lassos the German commander, showing him the truth of his cause. He surrenders. Wonder Woman is on a very specific mission that must not be lost under the weight of JJ Abrams prophecy/power-in-suit retardation. She is not Trinity from the Matrix, she is not Meg Ryan, and she is not Jennifer Connelly. She's 18-21 years old and has never left Paradise Island before. Ever. This screams for new talent, man. That's it.
-
How about Eliza Dushku? She'd kick ass and look good in the WW costume?
-
One of the most over-rated superheroes ever!
-
...the invisible plane is magical, not mechanical. Just because it was mostly used for transporting the truly lame Aquaman from place to place on SUPERFRIENDS doesn't mean it's an intrinsically stupid idea. Again, going back to the WWII concept, the clear plane in contrast to the beaten up, mechanical beasts everyone else is using would be stunning. Here's where CGI would be amazing. A glass plane among a fleet of P-51 Mustangs, like a mostly clear version of Queen Amidala's ship from THE PHANTOM MENACE. It would be fucking awesome. Come down off your cynical tree and feel the love, man.
-
...is hire another seven screenwriters, then this would be a sure fire locked in success. Right?

possibly with Hulk Hogan.

She has Amazon written all over her. She's definitely a WOMAN, and she has acting credentials. It could be great!
-
I mean really, an Amazon woman with an invisible jet and a lasso that makes you tell the truth? WTF is that? And the costume is ridiculous. If they do have to do it though, I'd chose Jolie if she wasn't already in Tomb Raider. But like I said, who cares. No matter how hot the acress is, it'll just be a PG-13 cock tease anyway. Better off staying home and watching porn.

Ali Landry as WW, with Lynda Cater as her mom!

I know shes older and although I am totally against an actor playing more than 1 superhero, I think the perfect WW would be Famke Janssen. Shes tall, she has the look and she has a decent rack (for those who are really worried about it), plus those legs, my god.... Yeah I can see it...With the long black curly hair and that costume... I can dream right? Plus she can actually act!! But please, no invisible jet... too damn hokey.

I'm keeping my fingers crossed that LITTLE LULU will be next. Anyone who can actually talk about this with a straight face needs to get a life.

-
I used to think that her role as Betty Ross in HULK put Jennifer Connelly out of the running for Wonder Woman as well but with Halle Berry going from Storm to Catwoman (starts filming in August/Sept) who knows. Perhaps the stigma of "based on the comic book" is going away and a good role is a good role just like other adaptations. I would think the chance to do something in the intelligent action genre might be appealing to Connelly simply because she HASN'T done it before.
Everyone wants to be an asskicker nowadays! -
Either go with amazon armor like in Kingdom Come or take a cue from Promethea and revamp the outfit into something new incorporating some fof the stylings of the stars and stripes with some armor. Maybe the classic swimsuit style suit can make a cameo in a scene where WW strips down her armor for some reason.
-
I would watch Wonder Woman and eat uncooked hotdogs right out of the package. Also, my mother, being the concerned mom she was, wanted me to have more calcium in my diet, and the only way I would eat cheese was if she would cut up slices and put it in apple sauce. What does this have to do with Wonder Woman directly? Nothing, but it's what I ate when watched that stupid ass show.
-
Monica Belluci is just plain gorgious I loved looking at her sweaty in Tears of the Sun and i can't wait to see her in Reloaded.... So if it came down to Jennifer Connelly or her I wouldn't be able to decide... I do agree with a statement from someone before that these two and Moss and who ever else were stated are gonna be too old by the time this gets going, and if the studio wants a franchise they would go for someone young like Christina Ricci.... Who is also hot
-
The more I think about it the more it sounds right, she's perfect for it.
-
Connely is cute and all but I dont think Amazon when I see her. WW has to be tall, at least 5'10', but pref 6'+. You have to look at the woman and just be impressed,-stature, attraction, physique, all of that. Connely dosnt do that, she is a waif who would strike fear into the hearts of no one. Who wants a superheroine that you can blow over with a light gust of wind?... (I dont know why women in Hollywood think thats attractive). Besides, I said it before, you cant trade universes on us, if she is in the HULK she cant play Wonder Woman. Im already ticked at the George Clooney/Mr Fantastic rumor. An Unknown will be best I think... I just wish Famke didnt do Jean Grey, because she'd have been a kick-you-in-the-balls-then-lick-your-ear-smile-and-make-you-ask-for-more-until-you-puke Wonder Woman...

Worthless Hulk Hogan Joke #839: How about MR. AMERICA as Wonder
by notchjohnson
Since it is highly likely that Warner Brothers is gonna suck again, and turn the Wonder Woman franchise into a "Batman and Robin" pink-neon purple-green tragedy, let's rev the camp factor up another degree, and add the WWE'S MR. AMERICA to the cast lineup. Now, get this, Wonder Woman is a female, but that won't stop Mr. America from saying things like "Hey, Wonder Woman, let's get those bad guys, brother!" or "Hey, dude, let me borrow your magic lasso." It would be so cool. Do you think that undereducated hillbillies, who think wrestling is real, have real debates about whether Mr. America is Hulk Hogan? Notch out.

...with a Big-Ass Spoon! As soon as Hollywood agreed with hiring Michael Clarke Duncan as the very caucasian Kingpin of Crime, Wilson Fisk, I knew that comic book fans like me who had waited and prayed for years that their cherished heroes and villains would come to life on the big screen were in for some hard times. Now we have Halle Berry as the very caucasian Catwoman, Selena Kyle. So fuck it - let's have a Cocoa Goddess for Wonder Woman, also! You got me straight trippin', Boo! QUEEN LATIFAH! BEYONCE KNOWLES! VIVECA A. FOX! GABRIELLE UNION! BRANDY! L'IL KIM! You know I be lovin' tha mocha, jizzah! ANGELA BASSETT! TINA TURNER! JADA PINKETT SMITH! SERENA and/or VENUS WILLIAMS! GARCELLE BEAUVAIS! TYRA BANKS! Don't hate tha playa, hate the game, G! And until they cast FUCKING Matt Damon as Luke FUCKING Cage, Power FUCKING Man, MAKE MINE MARVEL! *wink, wink, nudge, nudge*

I'd definitely go with Jennifer Connelly. Hell, she'd still be one of my top choices. But I have to go with Eliza Dushku. She's young enough to support a franchise for a while, she's got action chops from Buffy, she's actually a decent actress and I just plain really like her. Yowza. (Admittedly, the thought of Nicole Kidman with black hair running around in the Underoos made my brain fade off into imaginary land for awhile. Jeepers!)

is perfect for Wonder Woman. Absolutely NOT Lucy Lawless, Wonder Woman is supposed to be beautiful, not manly.

or does every time Harry talks about a comic book, he wants it to take place in the twenties, thirties, or forties. I like and respect the golden age and all, but come on. Although I don't want the studios to take these things and do one of thier so called modern "reimaginings". I like Moss but can't quite picture her as Wonder Woman. Oh God, I can't believe I am writing about wonder woman. Life doesn't make sense anymore.

I like Carrie-Ann Moss but she's not right for this role. -- I used to think how Lucy Lawless would be great for the role of Wonder Woman ... but not anymore, as her age and physical shape may be factors against her. -- Then there's Catherine Zeta-Douglas (whatever name she now goes by), ... who, at the time of "Zorro" (or soon after) would have been perfect. But she just had a baby ... so she'd have to really hit the gym extra hard. -- Shaina Twain is a stunningly beautiful woman ... and how I'd love to see her dressed as Wonder Woman in one of her music videos. But in a movie? Can she act? Would she even want to, even if she could? -- Perhaps the current favorite is already tied into the Daredevil movies, ... that being Jennifer Gardner (though with BLACK hair). -- So I'll settle for the beautiful Jennifer Connelly. Hey, ... wait a second. She's also tied into a superhero franchise, too! Maybe she could kick HULK's butt in a sequel!!!
-
Jennifer Connelly loathes comic books. I've read countless interviews where she claimed the only reason she considered 'The Hulk' is because of Ang Lee. Don't get your hopes up, buddy: the script and director are gonna have to be pretty damn good before J.Co signs on to play Wonder Woman.

by red raider
Memo to Jennifer Connelly: If it wasn't for directors like Ron Howard & Ang Lee, you'd already being doing Revlon commercials on a full-time basis(either that or Glad trash bags commercials! "Jennifer Connelly is MAD...!") I don't see Hugh Jackman, Ian MacKellan, Patrick Stewart, Christopher Reeve, Jack Nicholson, Collin Ferrell, or hell, GENE HACKMAN complaining about having starred in a comic book film. Quite the contrary, I think they're quite proud to be a part of characters that are read & loved the world over. But noooooo, not Ms. "I loathe comic books" Jenny Connelly! Ungrateful bitch.....
-
And that's that.
-
You people are not thinking out of the box. Going with only brunettes...THINK BLONDE! Chalize Theron with dyed hair would be perfect to play Wonder Woman.
-
Invicible jet or not, I don't care. I don't even think this will get made. The only reason people are posting here is to cast their favorite actresses in the WW suit. Suggestion: Make the costume a 2-piece.
-
Wonder Woman needs to have an invisible costume.
-
I'm probably misrepresenting Connelly a little bit with that last post. She didn't actually say that she "loathed" comics, so in order to keep irate fans from attacking me I pulled the quote off of Google. Here you go, in all of its authenticated glory: "At first I thought, 'The Hulk?'" Connelly says. "I have no particular affinity for comic books. But I think he's such a talented filmmaker, he has such a lyrical sensibility. He's the reason I'm doing it." It's probably reasonable to note that the interviewer seemed to coax her into a particular response, since he/she implied that Connelly had outgrown movies in 'The Rocketeer' vein. Hopefully I've been as fair as possible. I should also mention that I admire Connelly's work, I've just observed that she dislikes the superhero genre. Now if anybody spin doctors my fuckin' post for their own grandiose purposes and says I verbally attacked her, I reserve the right to tear you a new asshole. After all, wouldn't want to be misrepresented now, would we?
-
C'mon. Now admit it. You laughed, didn't you? C'mon. I know you did.
-
Connelly would have been good, but as someone mentioned before, she became a "Hollywood bonerack".
Dushku is goodexcept for the fact that she's quite small. Practically a midget, actually.
Katie Holmes....that I like. But don't you think she's a little too "all American" for an exotic Hellenic Princess? -
The only woman that should play Wonder Woman can be found right here: HTTP://WWW.KUMIMONSTER.COM (enjoy the nude photos, fanboys!) Note to Brett Ratner: eat a dick.
-
I just have to say it again...these other choices, like Charlize Theron, Katie Holmes, Jennifer Connelly, Catherine Zeta Jones, et al are cute, sure, but they are NOT Amazonian hero types. As someone else has noted, if they are going to do WW, then they certainly need to do it right. A silly character or not, WW is definitely doable IF they nail the lead. IMHO, if they don't use Julie Strain (in my mind the only person besides Lynda Carter that could pull it off and look the part)...with her thick black hair, 6'1" frame, and large (albeit fake) breasts, and kick-ass attitude...then they should go for a no-name actress that fits the bill. Again, these other choices are cute, but they are NOT ass-kickers! Wonder Woman should be dressed in a skimpy, armored version of the familiar red, white, and blue costume. As noted earlier by someone of far-thinking taste, something similar to costumes seen either in Kingdom Come or DK2 would be the absolute best. Wonder Woman needs to LOOK like she can stand up to a man while still being toughly attractive. She should NOT be a beauty pagent contestant, but something more akin to a tall, brunette fitness contestant (and NOT a bodybuilder-type physique...something in between).
Just my two cents...instead of bitching, fanboys, be part of the solution!!!! The movie will likely be made, so be constructive in your offerings so maybe a decent movie will be made. If you don't like the character, don't see the movie - simple as that! -
...looks like Keanu's twin sister?
Jennifer Connely would need to be feed well first.
Julie Strain can barely MOVE let alone ACT.
given how simple minded Hollywood it'll end up being Jennifer Garner since that's how they cast her as Elektra,"look there's a chick who can kick and look good, let's get her!". she'll probably end up playing Marvels Alias too.
Nicole Kidman is see through? -
Is my first choice.
Gabrielle Reece, tall athletic beautiful. Not much cleavage though.
Catherine Zeta Jones- great but getting old. WW would be a frenchise. The first film probably wouldn't be released unti Summer2005. Catherine would be close to her 40s in the sequels.
Someone suggested Thora Birch, Christina Ricci etc. WW is not a 4foot11 high school girl with a big rack ok.
Julie Strain, come on, this is a major studio production, I guess Dick Steele and Seymor Butts will be the leading man. -
Kate Hudson, maybe?
-
All this talk about how WW can't be taken seriously with her lasso and skimpy outfit - as if other characters with "magic helmets" and laser eyes were obviously so much more legitimate. Geez, fellas, either take the whole package or get off the superhero bandwagon altogether.
I love the idea of a non-white actor for the role - Gina Torres, anyone? -
http://www.comicboards.com/dcguide/Who/WonderWoman_Bio.htm :
"For thousands of years the Amazons kept the gateway to Tartarus closed and succeeded in their duties. They were also charged with rescuing females drowning at sea. Via this route they rescued Diana Trevor a USAF pilot who died by their side keeping the evils of Tartarus captive, she was honoured by a statue in the Temple of Ares. The Amazons mistakenly took the winged insignia and star-spangled flag on her clothing by her insignia and so honoured them." ***** Very plausible and they can follow it word for word. -
You know when I said on the other TB that one of these is going to bomb hard? Well ladies and gentlemen, we have a contender. This will look fucking ridiculous. The only way this will make money is if its aimed at 12 yr old girls, I mean seriously, a golden lasso and an invisible fucking jetpack? On a related note, if they put Trickys version of Wonderwoman on the soundtrack I may download the album.

Carie Anne Moss just isn't pretty enough, sorry. Jennifer Connely is one gettion too old and two has too much of the girl next door look. Wonder Woman needs to be outrageously hot.

If she can drop the baby weight I vote for Charisma Carpenter.

Wonder Woman has got to be BOOB-A-Licious! When they were choosing Lara Croft, they didn't go with a flat chested actress; Angelina was chosen for a reason, her giant DSL's and her huge HONKERS. So why would Wonder Woman be any different? Most of Wonder Woman's appeal in the first place is her sexuality; first as a place for adolescent boys who were denied true porn to jerk off to comic books, then for adolescent boys to jerk off to the 70's TV show with Lynda Carter. So why not give today's adolescent boys something to jerk off to, also? I propose that the brunette Miller Lite Girl from the catfight commercials be used; you know, the one with the gigantic LOVESACKS. She's already proven that she can carry a 30 second commercial, why not a feature film? Who cares if she can't act; it didn't stop the Wachowski brothers from hiring Keanu. I say Viva La Miller Lite Girl and Viva La BAGS-O-FUN!!

1. She's beautiful beyond beautiful. 2. Die her hair black. 3. She already has athletic moves(see the incredibly unwatchable shitfest Mummy Returns to see her in action!). Imagine her in the WW costume...OOOH-FUCKING-LA LA!!! I was going to suggest Kate Winslet for Wonder Woman, but I'd actually prefer more drama pieces like Holy Smoke where she wigs out & gives us numerous scenes of full frontal nudity. Truly Winslet's greatest talent!

She'd be a great Wonder Woman, she is incredibly hot and she can act. Jennifer Lopez would be ok to, I know she hasn't done anything but crap lately, but she was great in Out Of Sight. Also, Carrie Lowell from Law&Order would be good, she probably needs to get back in shape after squeezing out Richard Gere's babies, but that shouldn't be a problem.

Yes, Monica Belluci looks like she'd make a great Wonder Woman. I haven't seen her act yet, but I will this friday when The Matrix Reloaded opens.
Here are some other good suggestions...
Eliza Dushku (Brunette in skin tight skivvies from Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back!), Jennifer Connely, Angelina Jolie, Drew Barrymore, Sandra Bullock (with breast augmentation of course!), Madeline Stowe (Breast Augmented also!)and My wife! But sorry, she'd be way too expensive! -
rachel weisz would run shit in this role. sure she isn't real tall but who gives a shit, have you looked at her?!?! I'd get kicked out of the theatre for having steam shoot out of my cock if she was cast. She's already done one big dumb franchise with the mummy but maybe she's interested in going all the way and becoming a popcorn movie star rather than an actress who sometimes appears in popcorn movies.
Kate winslet is too prestigious of an actress for this role which is really a pg-13 beatoff titty movie. Fucking ridiculous that she doesn't have an oscar and helen hunt and halle berry do. If she was WW I'd get kicked out of the theatre for my boner overheating and catching fire the first time she got tied up. She has what I believe you americans like to call juicy jugs.
Angelina Jolie wouldn't work as she is already doing another titty beatoff summer movie.
As far as foriegn actreses go Monica Bellucci would work. She would really work. Oh hell yes. So would penelope cruz or laetitia casta. Even a softcore chick like veronika zemanova or aria giovannie would be good but i wouldnt get to see, because if any of them were cast I'd get kicked out of the theatre after my cock turns into a bottle rocket and shoots out of my pants.
Catherine Zeta Jones probably wouldnt be interested. Christina Ricci is too young, she should be a teen sidekick and in that case I shouldn't even be allowed into the theatre. Julie Strain wouldn't be right.
Money in the bank: I say get mcg to direct, cast a hot busty brunette, put her in the red white and blue costume, make sure she gets tied up every 10 minutes and you're guranteed to make back your budget on the first weekend.

I really do like Carrie Anne Moss, but c'mon, Wonder Woman is supposed to be drop dead gorgeous with a body to boot. Want my suggestion? I think Aishwarya Rai is the perect choice. She's an Indian actress who won the Miss World title a few years ago. I've seen a few dubbed movies of hers and she's awesome. Perfect for that loving-but-strong Wonder Woman character.Check her out online if you don't beleive me.

If Jennifer Connelly is only "girl next door pretty" I'd like to live in your fucking neighbourhood ;-)

The project has long been troubled and cursed with bad casting.

Enough of this crap casting. She can pull it off.

A true warrior queen, who is not afraid to be a woman!
Superman, "To the fortress?"
Diana, "No our friends may not be able to find us there if were needed."
Superman, "Is it safe?"
Diana,"Scott builds good gyroscopes!"
They then engage in a bout of love making that not only rocks the space station but almost knocks it out of orbit!"
This is from the kingdom come novel by Maggin. The uncensored version of this chapter is even better.
Diana, "WEver do it on a tilt a whirl?"
Clark, "What's a tilt a whirl?"
Diana, "One of those carnvial; rides that spines real fast and presses you aginst the wall."
Superman,"I can press you against the wall!"
Wonder Woman,"Promisis promises!" -
There's only one actress out there right now who would be perfect for this role, and I can't believe only a hand full of people have mentioned her.... Katie Holmes!!! She's hot, she's tall, she's got an amazing rack, and most importantly she

Hey, why not list every actress who is a brunette in Hollywood? I think the point is seriously being missed here - you don't just want someone who can act and is a brunette but someone who can look good whupping ass - i.e. actually look as though they know what they are doing when the wail on someone's ass. Plus all the actresses already in superhero flicks, garner, connelly, jansen, etc., would they want to be in another. My choice: Claudia Black of Farscape/Pitch Black. Looks hot and whups dat ass reeaalll gooood.
