The latest on WONDER WOMAN!
Hey folks, Harry here... WONDER WOMAN has reportedly been given a complete ass kick in the right direction by its new screenwriter, Laeta Kalogridis. Yes, the same one all of you despise for that "BIRDS OF PREY" show on TV -- but big gobs of that nightmare fall right smack on top of the head of... Warner Brothers Television, which I'd heard was micro-managing the living hell out of Laeta and crew. The result was a show very far from what it had originally been conceived as. That's consistently been a problem with Laeta. She ALWAYS writes great material... that is then micro-managed and second-guessed to hell... Much like what happens to Michael France's MARVEL screenplays... They're both always faithful to their source material, yet always create great translations... that never get made. Due to UTTER STUPIDITY. Laeta's WONDER WOMAN apparently has the entire Amazonian backstory... The God MARS and is vintage old school Wonder Woman! As for Jaime King... she's cute as a button and all... Let's see where this all goes...
WONDER WOMAN POTENTIAL
British movie mag, HotDog, says that Jaime King made an impression in her action boots in "Bulletproof Monk", and is now in talks with the studio about a feature film version of "Wonder Woman". I take it, the Joel Silver thing.
Interesting choice.

How about a chick with some real assets? Unless Wonderwomen has a new power to disguise herself as a 12 year old boy cast someone else. I mean she even had to change her name so people wouldnt get confused.

trying to pass as brunettes. It didn't work for Dolph, it aint working for thomas jane and it won't work for Jamie. Hey! Howzabout castin' an actual GREEK woman (and don't think I've forgotten about Garner's Elektra. Bleeaagghhh...

oh let me guess! could it be another movie that features a beautiful woman going around beating the shit out of men? OH GEE we've never seen that before!

Honestly, she's blonde, built like a plank and she has no kick ass vibe about her. I leave it to the fanboys to worry about the ideal breast size (sigh) but it would do no harm not to cast an anorexic former heroin addict as Wonder Woman.

by timbenzedrine
But I guess if they're going for some kind of origin story, they want to start off with a WW in her mid twenties. I'm supprised no one has suggested Natalie Portman. She has proven that she can act outside of Clones, and even in that film, she proved she could do stunt work without completely embarrassing herself. I think she completely wrong for Lois Lane, But Wonder Woman, why not?
-
Lucy Lawless? I mean she knows how to be a kick ass Amazon warrior. I think she's pretty hot, and has that Wonder Woman kind of vibe. And if not Lucy, then I'd have to go with Catherine Zeta Jones. Thank you for your time.
-
Wonder Woman!?! Next thing you know, we`ll all be talking about who will be cast as Auqaman.
-
hulk hogan for wonder woman "you wanna see my magic bangles brother"

I know she isn't supposed to have them technically, but Wonder Woman is supposed to be a tough Amazon, not some skinny little waif. That casting would be almost as bad as Halle Berry as Storm.

by terry_1978
I'd have to go with Jennifer Connolly, though if that James King chick worked out a little more and wore some lifts(since WW is supposed to be of Amazonian stock), it's a possibility.
-
Jaime used to be cute, but man, she's looking like she's lived a pretty rough life as of late...not that I care too much about wonder woman, but remember how hot linda was? yeah...
...how about Jessica Alba? please? pretty please? me likey... -
If you can't get Catherine Zeta-Jones (and if you don't offer it to her, she might sue!), Monica Bellucci would be great, but Rhona Mitra would be better. She's a little less identifiable with one particular country, and WW needs to be more international as well as being exotic.

You can't go wrong with May Young.

She's pretty, not trying to take that from her, but Wonder Woman needs to have some meat on her bones. Jamie(James?) looks like a strong breeze would knock her twig ass over. Angelina Jolie is Wonder Woman, Salma Hayek is Wonder Woman, Eva Mendes, Uma Thurman(kind of), Beyonce, and Jennifer Garner are Wonder Woman.

... he can so do this part.
-
Come on, she always wanted this role and she isn't a bad actress. Also she is hot.
-
Wonder Woman needs to have black hair, athletic, and BREASTS! She is not some flavor of the month GIRL with the body of a twelve year old BOY.
-
You know it in your heart. Now if only they can give her an invisible uniform to match her invisible plane.

It's all about the tits. Wonder Woman should have big bouncy breasts. Sure, a small waist, great ass, and long lean legs too. Yes, and brunette. But the most important part is the big tits. Though the idea of Natalie Portman in the role is nice, whoever suggested that. But are her tits big enough? They seem like nice, friendly tits. Wonder Woman shouldn't have nice, friendly tits. She should have fall-down-and-worship-me tits. Linda Carter had those tits. Tyra Banks tits. Britney Spears post-op tits. Jenna Jamison tits. Tits that are barely contained by that ridiculous boustier, where you could fill a 3 hour outtakes reel of the tits popping out and saying hello. Those are the tits of Wonder Woman. It's not the lasso that makes men tell the truth. It's the tits. Don't buy a ticket for this movie unless those tits are featured prominently. Don't let them get away with tits that are anything less than what you, as a hormonally driven man, have a right to expect. Jennifer Connelly? NO! She has not the tits. And neither does Jaime King.
-
I can't believe no one has mentioned Kristiana Loken. Dye her hair black and you have Diana/Wonder Woman.
She has the physicality down perfectly. She can act as well as... Jamie King. If WB thinks Jamie King is a big name, Kristiana is already much more recognizable due to T-3. -
They've been repeatedly caught fabricating stuff, like pulling Matrix 2 photos off the internet and claiming they're "exclusives". They're trying to unseat EMPIRE as Britain's top movie mag.
-
Get Rebecca Romijn Stamos out of the blue body paint(it doesnt do her justice) into that skimpy outfit with black hair (see : femme fatale) and you'd have one kick ass wonder woman.
-
Not a supermodel. Not a starlet. She should have MUSCLES and be tall. I don't want to see some little model chick beating people up. I'm sick of that! I want to see a BUFF woman kicking ass! How about Victoria from the WWE? She's pretty, tall, has muscles, has a sort of "ethnic" look (WW is sort of Greek, remember) and can do stunts. Oh yeah, she has big boobs, too. Everything you'd want in a Wonder Woman. I won't pay to see Shannon Elizabeth, Jaime, or any other little skinny model who looks like she can barely open a can of tuna, let alone survive a fistfight with Superman. Oh, and they had better not give us that crappy invisible jet, either. Wonder Woman can FLY, people. She's Superman in a camisole.

The best Wonder Woman is right under Warner Bros. noses, Michelle Monaghan who is playing Ellie the half breed in Constantine for WARNER BROS. looks just like Diana Prince

She is the ONLY person who could do it. If I hear another person who could fill the shoes as well as Mrs. Michael Douglas, I will eat my hat. www.rockithardcore.com
-
Yes, she's a bit short, but she has an uncanny resemblance to Linda Carter (the ONLY thing that stupid TV show got right) and she's a halfway convincing ass kicker. Not to mention the fact that she has huge........Tracts o' Land. Basically she's sex on a stick.
-
Carrie Anne Moss would be perfect. The Jamie King chick is cool. Jennifer Gardner could also do it.
Wonder Woman has potential and with the Lord Joel Silver running things...it could be great with the right director.

I don't think there is any woman hwo better resembles the physical type than Moninca Belluci . . .plus she is already Mediteranian, which can't hurt. . . she is full figured, not a waif, and WW has got to be a strong confident woman- Imagine if she just bullked up a little? Damn boys and girls, Monica is the one.
-
Shannon Elizabeth does not look, sound, or act anything like I'd imagine Wonder Woman to be. She's great for Playboy pictorials, but she's just not an option. I have no problem with Catherine Zeta Jones, Angelina Jolie or Salma Hayek (in that order). Sad to say, J.Lo isn't an unreasobable prospect. I think Monica Belluci is a reasonable suggestion. Jennifer Garner has a lot of Diana's presence and moves, but her look is very wrong. I think James King looks more like Donna Troy, but I' disinclined to throw her out completely. Maybe if you envision Brian Bolland's WW instead of Perez. Sandra Bullock was more like Jill Thompson's, and who wants that? Carrie Ann Moss is too severe looking, and Lucy Lawless is too friggin' butch. Both would be good in villainous turns (Cheetha & Circe?).
-
But I was scanning the TB and swore someone said Shannon Elizabeth wasn't a bad actress. Nah. I must be still asleep.
-
Whoever mentioned it before. Perfect. Top Notch. If they go older, Catherine Zeta-Jones is a must. Is there anyway this can be a hard 'R' with some hot lesbian action? just thought i'd throw that out there.

You know, just to be true to the original comics. And teh solution to this whole problem is to have every single woman above as amazons wearing spangly bustieres and lip gloss. expensive to get them all, but you wouldn't have to waste any money of sfx. just get lots of rope.

1. Wonder Woman's an amazon, not some coked out heroin chic model!
2. "Katherine Heigl" said my girl. So i checked her out and whaddya know, she big. Tall, big ribcage, big bazongaz, the whole deal! Providing they dye her hair black she'll look right. the right, age the right build. She'll fill out that costume with authority and she certainly looks as if she be believable when bashing bad guys!
check out the black hair look! of course it would have to be longer.

now check out the proportions!

by the founder
James King is not I repeat not WONDER WOMAN. Their are plenty of real woman who look the part physicallt in Hollywood and have natural dark hair. Good Lord we don't need a skiny former model blonde chick to dye her hair. The thought that WB thinks this chick can play Diana based off some choerographed fight scenes from Bulletproof Monk shows that WB remains toatally out of touch with it comic chracters.
