Buffy or Cordelia as WONDER WOMAN'
Hey folks, Harry here... None of this is confirmed, at this point it all seems to be speculation, but... Personally I'd rather see FAITH play WONDER WOMAN than either BUFFY or CORDELIA. What? How does Buffy-heathen Harry know shit about any of them? Well - it's all Herc's fault. For my birthday this year he gave me the 4th Season Box Set of BUFFY dvds. Now, I hadn't seen a single episode. I'd seen clips on TV and thought... that looks lame, but here he was, throwing the gauntlet down... and I took the Box Set... thought about re-gifting it to someone that loves Buffy, but then thought... "No - Herc wanted me to see this!" So I sat down and in one night watched the entire 4th season. (ADDITION: I started at 6pm and ended with that really bizarre dreamy episode where Xander got totally screwed out of screwing Willow and Lesbo-Chick!) HOLY SHIT, Buffy is a cool fucking TV SHOW! Specifically, "HUSH" is perhaps one of my all time favorite episodes of any episodic television. And Willow, will you marry me? ANYWAYS - I haven't seen Cordelia yet, so I don't know if she's up to kicking ass Wonder Woman style, but Faith - while a tad short - THERE'S WAYS AROUND THAT! - would kick ass as Wonder Woman. Of course, that may just be me wanting her to get in a WONDER WOMAN outfit all Lynda Carter-style! By the way, did you know Wonder Woman married Robert Altman? How fucking cool is that?
Hey Harrry-
Came across this article that Sarah Michelle Gellar AND Charisma Carpenter were up for Wonder Woman.
There's probably nothing to it but as an interesting side note both CC and SMG were up for Buffy at one time. Besides CC in a Wonder Woman outfit isn't a horrible thought although neither was Halle Berry in a Catwoman outfit and looked how that turned out.
I'm pretty sure they got Charisma's name from a comment from a recent TV Guide interview:
TVGO: What are your plans?
Carpenter: Well, I can tell you what my goals are. I have a son now, so I want the half-hour sitcom lifestyle, where you can have a family and work. And then, during summer hiatus, I'd like to do a Kill Bill or Wonder Woman or some movie like that.
TVGO: Wait, you want to do the long-rumored Wonder Woman movie?
Carpenter: I am actively putting it out there that I want to do Lynda Carter. It's my mission to be Wonder Woman! My agent hasn't seen a script, but some studio needs to do it. She's beautiful, she fights, and I like the concept of an empowerment role. I've always been so passive on Angel, where they usually wouldn't let Cordelia do martial arts stunts.
Charisma wants to kick ass and bust heads!
Whether you can use this or not I'd be interested as to where the Wonder Woman project currently stands.
Your pal,
Rex LuthorOk - Harry here again. I've only seen season 4, I don't even know who Cordelia is at this point. All I know is apparently she apparently did something with Angel and Buffy really hates her. I think she turned Angel into a vampire, but I'm not really sure about that. That's just what I think from Season 4. Herc says he'll get me the other sets for my birthday this year, as he wants to be responsible for educating my ignorant ass. HOWEVER, based upon photographic evidence that Charisma fans have been sending me, I think she could do WONDER WOMAN wonders. Here ya go....

+ Expand All
-
has always been my fan fave choice, but I gotta say, I could picture Charisma C. as a viable wonder woman. No way SMG could do it though.
-
I like Eliza (Faith) and all, but I think Charisma's got the look. SMG, good as Buffy, would be an awful Wonder Woman, in the looks department, anyway. FWIW, my vote is for Cordy, who ought to be back on Angel, but would be a good choice for this role.
-
Cordelia, I hope this lead somewhere great and I hope you never cut your hair short again. This is my prayer.

The Robert Altman who Lynda Carter married wasn't *the* Robert Altman...he was a shady DC lobbyist whose dirty dealings instigated the influence-peddling scandal that destroyed the career and reputation of longtime advisor-to-Presidents Clark Clifford.

Monica's almost 40, for cryin' out loud. I agree, though, that Eliza Dushku would be a better pick than Charisma Carpenter, who would be a better pick than Sarah Michelle Gellar. Me, I'd go with Rachel Bilson...
-
As you can see the story originated from the Daily Star which would be the British equivalent of World Weekly News in terms of factual entertainment reporting. The Daily Star has said in the past, that Britney Spears would be guesting as a demon for 8 episodes of Buffy and that Australian pop singer Holly Valance would take over Sarah's role in Buffy season 8 (and look how true those stories turned out to be).

"The Body" in season five. And Charisma would make a damn good Wonder Woman, though to be honest I could care less about that movie. But Charisma fits the bill, whereas SMG is fat too skinny to ever pull it off.

I'd pay money to watch Charisma Carpenter DO Lynda Carter!
by zer0cool2k2
And as far as the three Buffy actresses mentioned here, Carpenter would be the best choice (not necessarily the bst choice of all, just out of the three). I love Eliza, but she's a little too street tough image-wise for WW. And SMG, great as she was as Buffy, just isn't the right physical type. I mean, WW has got to be able to have that Amazonian physicality, and be able to stand up to a Superman shagging. ........ And while she's too young and girlish, The O.C.'s Rachel Bilson did indeed look quite hot fulfilling every geekboy's dream in that Wonder Woman costume. I think they're gonna' have to get "Christopher Reeve" lucky and find an unknown with the right look, who just happens to have the acting chops to have any hope of making this work. They did get lucky with Lynda Carter before though. ............... And Harry, you really need to watch the other Buffy seasons. Season 2 might be the best season ever, of any television show, and season three will make you love Faith even more. (plus it includes the great ep "The Zeppo").
-
How the hell does anyone watch eighteen hours in one night? You living on Earth time Harry or were you skipping bits, cos shame if you were. Definitely Charisma for Wonder Woman.
-
When Mike Deodato was the artist on WW, there was an updated costume that was mostly blue and had a jacket to it. WW looked very modern and it looked good and worked very well. If they go and update WW's costume for the movie, they should look into that costume for inspiration. I sort of liked the loin-cloth look Alex Ross had, too .. but I actually preferred that Deodato costume to the original.
-
The first bit is from the Daily Star, but the CC interview is both TV Guide. Hardly a rag. It rules that Harry's getting into Buffy.
-
Catherine Zeta Jones has the perfect look for Wonder Woman. I just think studios would look at franchise potential and be afraid she'd be too old, and also look for a younger "name" to bring in the all important youth market,(hence Beyonce' being rumored to star in everything). This is the problem with studios worrying about franchises BEFORE they worry about making one quality movie. One thing about CCZJ, though is you know she'd bust her ass to make the role work. She handled that sword like a champ in Zorro, looked incredible in that heist flick she did with Sean Connery, and got into awesome shape after having a baby to win the role in Chicago. She'd look great in that Wonder Woman bustier, but Michael Douglas is probably the only one who's ever gonna' know. ........... I'm just glad Sean Young has gotten too old to parade around Hollywood dressed as Wonder Woman.
-
Honestly, who cares? WB will cast whoever they want, hire whatever shitty, third-string director they can, and no one will give a flyin` you know what.
-
Great Hera, BROTHER!
-
We all want to marry Willow. And no she is not a lesbian...just ask Oz and Xander and Giles and Memnock.***I like CC for this role but she is a bit short at 5'7''. The T3 chick, Lokken?, has the height for it and she looked pretty good buffed up for that film.
-
Love her!! Make this movie. Doesn't Joel Silver have some creative control over this property? It's not in the best of hands but it's in better hands than Superman. For that matter, how about Charisma as Lois?
-
...wait til you see "The Body" and "Normal Again", two of the best episodes of anything, ever. EVER.
-
Of the recently deceased "Karen Sisco" and the Spy Kids movies. She wasnt called a "latter day Lynda Carter " for nothing!
-
She said she could never marry someone who mangles the English language like you do and tells lies about watching 18 hours of DVD "in one night."
She also suggested that you do some sit-ups. -

WONDER WOMAN needs to be tall and black haired and curvaceous
by spacesheik
Carpenter or Gellar are too short and Valley-girlish. Monica Belluci would rock.
-
why the fuck would they make a wonder woman movie? who's going to see this? kids are, rightfully, going to think it's incredibly dumb. some adults are nostialgic about wonder woman, but mostly nostialgic about how stupid they were back then for liking something called "Wonder Woman". that and comic fans who think wonder woman is cool simply because she's an old comic book character, and all old comic book characters are major dieties to them. that's not a big target market for a film, and even they wouldn't see it, cuz they'd know beforehand it would suck (from going to this site). superman is a mainstay of popular culture, and wonder woman, no matter what some twentysomething comic fans think, really isn't.

by terry_1978
She has always been regarded as one of the big three in DC comics...Bats, Supes, and Diana. Those are like the first ones you think of when the name DC is mentioned. WB took long enough to get her into animation form on Justice League, though I still wish they had gone the earlier route and gave her her own series like Bats and Superman. This is the last of the three that they can try their best not to screw up, and I for one hope they don't.
-
Check: http://babes.bomis.com/article.pl?sid=04/02/08/0327244&mode=thread
-
Terry Farrell would be a great Wonder Woman. She's tall,brunette, has the face, but would need a push-up bra to make the most of what she has. We know she can do action from the battle scenes as Jadzia Dax in DS9. Shake has spoken.
-
Julie Strain or nobody!
-
Ben Stiller, Will Ferrell or Owen Wilson will be cast as Wonder Woman. They're everywhere
-
but that's my point. sure she's one of the most important DC characters, but to most of the world, that doesn't mean much. 'batman' and 'superman' together defined superheroes and comic books for years to come, wonder woman was just a way of saying, "look, women can be superheroes, too, support the war girls!" women heroes today have to be badass femme fatales, not anything like wonder woman, so i don't think anyone will have much of an interest in this movie.
-
I didn't discover BtVS until it was in its 5th season and being shown in reruns on FX. So, though not quite as late as Harry I am a Johnny-come-lately to the whole thing. But I now recognize its genius (even if the last season totally sucked almost...the slayerrets?). Oh, and who cares about a Wonder Woman movie.

by bill maher
Krista Allen might also work, even though she has fake knockers. Manuela Arcuri is another Italian chick who would look the part. So is Sabrina Ferilli. Laetitia Casta also looks good. Why all the foreign broads? Because it's damn near impossible to find American actresses who either (A) haven't starved themselves skinny or (B) haven't gotten those goddmaned plastic tits. Jeez, this one's a tough call!
-
...did anyone see Carpenter after she had her kid? It was kind of sad. Her genes kicked in and she looked like somebody's mom. She looked really frumpy and chunky. All those great angles and cheekbones were gone. Check out some TV movie she did (I can't recall the name), I swear you won't even think it's her. I don't even know if hitting the gym is gonna help. Some girls can recover from having a kid and some never do. I hope she does as I always thought she was gorgeous. All I'm saying is, she doesn't quite look like those pictures anymore. Anyhow, Wonder Woman is super lame anyway...Who really wants to see that movie? The invisible jet, the magic lasso, yawn...
-
SMG - NO way!!! No offense to her, but she's not WW. Fuck off. Elisa Dukashu, definatly too short. No offense to her either (in fact I've rubbed one out while thinking of her on more than one occasion). CC would really be great for the part (and yeah, I rubbed for her too).
-
Acutally, you're dead wrong. If you had tuned into Angel the other night to see her last episode, you'd have seen she's recovered quite nicely and looks just the same as she use to.
-
Actually did not see the pictures you mention, but did YOU see how great Charisma looked on last week's Angel? I'm not saying she's the *ideal* choice for Wonder Woman, but she could definitely pull it off (frankly her ass tattoo, which is otherwise a truly wonderful thing, will probably work against her there). SMG, on the other hand, is delusional if she thinks she makes any kind of sense as an amazon. Somebody needs to refer her to the dictionary definition of the word "amazon" for chrissake ... she's just too damn short! It's like casting Danny DeVito to play Rocky Marciano. Frankly I'm amazed she got the Buffy role, so maybe she's got some kinda casting mojo ... but I can tell you one thing for sure: any WW movie with SMG is a surefire miss.
-
She did still look a little bigger than normal when she did that TV movie, and she definitely doesn't look like a high school girl anymore, but she looked pretty friggin' hot last week on Angel's 100th episode. And I've always said if someone would put Jennifer Connelly on a high calorie diet and put her in a gym to muscle up a bit, she'd make a great Wonder Woman. And I'm not sure she's got the right look for Diana Prince, but Kelly Brook, late of Smallville has got some great cleavage, as long as you're bringing up non-American actresses.
-
Neat idea but I dont know if Charisma has the star power to pull it off. Seems to me Wonder Woman needs a SERIOUS "A" list actress to make the money it needs to make. The male superheroes can be unknowns (punctuated by celebrity villains) but wonder woman - even if it is part of the "big three" is WAAAAAAY third. I don't even know if the right actress to do Wonder Woman is in hollywood right now. All the hot up and comers are young petite blondes. So I pose a question - who fits the following criteria:
1) Late 20s to Early 30s. (2) Preferably a blue eyed brunette (but not necessarily. Hair dye does wonders) (3) Is right on the cusp of exploding hugely like Colin Farrell just did or Angelina Jolie before Tomb Raider (4) Has the presence to give Wonder Woman enough presence and gravity to be taken seriously (Sigourney's too old now). (4) Isnt already tied up in, oh say, a Tomb raider franchise. -
...to tell me how Catherine Bell is not perfect for this role. Adult and Intelligent...
http://www.stuffmagazine.com/cover_girls/html/girl_337.html
-
She's by far, the best looking girl of the bunch. Anyway, she's european so I don't it would work (with her italian accent). besides, playing in a film like wonder woman would be a step down in her career. especially after such films as Mel Gibson's The passion of christ , irreversible , Malena , ricordati di me , and Terry Gilliam's Brothers grimm.
-
Y'know, sitting here looking at Harry's posted CC pics, (that flag shot has always been one of my favorites), I started reminiscing about Lynda Carter's big rack and tiny waist when she was in the WW costume. Anyway, it got me to thinking about current actresses with a similar look. The first person I thought of who's got that reasonably athletic look, curvy and sporting a tiny waist was Rebecca Romain Stamos. Now she's not huge. cleavage-wise, but she's definitely got enough that a little costume padding could fill in the rest. Sure, she's gotta' have the Raven locks, but that's easy.
-
What's really encouraging about Harry finally finding his way to Buffy is that he seems to love the show after seeing what is EASILY the hands-down WORST season of the entire series. Seasons 2 and 3 are the Golden Years, and Season 5 is also pretty gol-darned terrific. Wait 'til Harry gets a load of THOSE...it'll be like listening to Wings and then finding out there was this other band called the Beatles
-
Harry get into Buffy. BUt Harry, you'd probably like Angel even more. Get someone to lend you season 2; it is immense. As for Wonder Woman, maybe Jennifer Garner could pull it off.
-
Jennifer Garner look like a pre-pubesent teenage boy. Forget that please.
-
Let's see, who are the hot names right now? ..................
Cahrlize Theron, nope. ............. Scarlett Johannson, nope. ............... Eva Mendes, nope. .............. Jennifer Garner, nope. ............... Thora Birch, hmmmmmmm. She's probably too young stil, but man, she's shed that baby fat and sh'es just ridiculously beautiful now. No idea about her height though. She might be too short. -
Sarah Michelle Gellar?? God no. That would just be wrong.
-
I just had the worst possible thought. Please, please, please, tell me that there is someone out there willing to take any and all means necessary to ensure that this role is kept as far away from Jessica Simpson as humanly possible! Forgive me for even thinking it. (and for my horrible typing on my last post).
-
I want to do Lynda Carter, too.
-
Yep, that's who. Fairly tall, dark haired, good actress. I'm a fan of SMG and think she's underrated as an actress, but WonderBuffy just wouldn't work for me.
-
Listen to her stern voice then look into those peircing blue eyes and say otherwise. I DARE YOU!!! Terminatrix for Wonder Woman in 2006!
-
...he can so do this part.
-
Still hot as hell. The woman doesn't age.
-
First, I said "maybe". Second, Jennifer Garner looking like a teenage boy is perhaps the looniest exaggeration I've ever heard. Anyway, they'll probably cast some unknown as Wonder Woman, rather than some A list Hollywood actress; on this talkback so far, there hasn't been one good person mentioned that could fill the role. But I definitely agree about SMG: she's too small for the role. The "ugly" comments were a bit cruel though.
-
Amazon means "one breast" so yeah I think SMG qualifies there after the past 5 years of dieting.
-
And she should have an invisible suit instead of an invisible airplane. I've said it before, and I'll say it again.
-
She's tall, has a great body, and can definatly pull of a great fight/action scene. She would make a great Wonder Woman.
-
I'm not sure about that. I haven't seen her play anything but the self centered Cordelia Chase and even when that character turned into less of a bitch over the years she still only had a handful of dramatic moments (last weeks Angel was a stand out). I always thought Jennifer Connelly could play a mean Wonder Woman but given the "success" of HULK, I don't think she'd be up for anymore comic book movies. Also, I'm really glad to hear that Harry digs BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER. It's always been one of my favorite shows and it's good to see that Herc's obsession with all things Whedon actually did some good. Oh, and Macstone... I agree that Jennifer Garner wouldn't work as Wonder Woman but she's a hell of an actress (and a hottie to boot).
-
I guess DC and Warners has just shot to hell the whole concept of wonder woman, being from an isle of Amazonian warriors', ala Zena. Not that I'm campaigning for Lucy Lawless to resurface from the land of 90's 'Where are they now's" alongside Kevin 'Hercules' Sorbo himself. Andromeda doesnt count as a resurfacing. C'mon.
But then, if Marvel can change Wilson Fisk from Anglo Italian Mob head into african american Green Mile, and stretch a comic God such as the great LOGAN himself, a full Feet in inches. 5'3" (Comic height) to 6'3" (Hugh Jackmans' height), then I digress. Maybe it'll work after all.
Awwww who're we kidding? Wonder Woamn'll suck like a cross between the original Dolph Lundgren starred Punisher and Charlies Angels. Untill Warners AND DC prove on the big screen they they can produce anything remotely close to a GOOD comics adaptation to movie, 'Make Mine Marvel'.
But at least give the role to this Charity chic. Buffy would be so wrong for this role. Almost as wrong as Beyonce would be for a SERIOUS Lois Lane contemplation. Wondy and Supes have CAMP written allll over them. Siiiigh, where's my XmEN DVD I need to watch a good Superhero movie, pronto! -
Y'all know who I meant. Charismatic.
-
I love when SMG is on Stern and he talks about how incredibly Jewish she is the whole time, and accuses her of downplaying her Jewishness. She's cute, but she does kinda look like Barbra Streisand.
-
But not SMG. ...
WW is an Amazon after all and SMG doesn't have the stature for it -

by glen quagmire

-
Any of these women - Charisma or Eliza (not SMG, who is too petite) -- would be fine if this is gonna be a TV MOVIE or series. But a feature? My guess is no studios gonna put a big budget franchise flick in the hands of a t.v. actress who's never carried a feature before (has Carpenter ever been in a movie?). Sure, they're gorgeous. Eliza is hotness defined. But they're t.v. actors, incapable of filling up a big screen unless they're riding shotgun (BRING IT ON). Also, what little I've seen of ANGLEL, Carpenter may be one of the worst actresses this side of Madonna. Any feature of WW will probably include Jennifer Garner, the Amazaon du jour.
-
I've been influenced by Alex Ross quite a bit and I have to say that most of the suggestions are TOO YOUNG for Wonder Woman. I picture her as old, mature, and in full power now. Seeing a 20-something actress would be unsatisfying at this point.
-
Sarah Michelle Gellar-too thin Eliza Dushku-too short
Rachel Bilson-too shorty and too valley girl Jennifer Garner-too horse-like catherine zeta Jones-too old and annoying Monica Belucci-not a good actress I could see Krista Allen or Charisma pulling this off. Sela Ward would have been great. Super hot + super talented. Too bad Hollywood considers her over the hill when I think she's way sexier than most of these skanky, fake-titted blonde broads. What about Salma Hayek? -

I really don't think Wonder Woman needs to look like she's twenty something. Hollywood suits trying to figure out how to get all the under 17 teen girl crowd to see movies. Well fuck that when are they ever just going to make a movie for sake of making a good movie? Oh wait they did that already: Hellboy
-
...no. She's not quite right. Anybody is better than Sandra Bullock though. Actually, I don't give a shit. Thanks for the pics.
-
shes young tall muscular yet no one mentions her
-
Of course Im finally screaming cause Sandra Bullock is not being mentioned.cause she wouldve sucked. I remember when Chyna was allegedlly up for the role and I pucked...cause shes really a man, baby!~ Sarah M Gellar........no. I stopped believing after awhile that she was Buffy, as she got more and more anorexic looking, she got less hot. I dont know if Eliza D could act the role, but she defiently has the body. I dont know about Charisma, as Ive only ever seen her as Cordelia.....has she done anything else? She definetly has the body and look though. Is this movie under Warner Bros???? Cause if so, it doesnt matter who we like, they'll either change Wonder Woman to make her black or a handicapped or smoething. God forbid the stick with what works?

5'10 leggy hottie, NUFF SAID.

Angelina Jolie, Claudia Black, Jennifer Garner, Jennifer Connell

But it'll probably go to Halle Berry.
-
Will have to be able to at least run without looking stupid or all girly. ... Monica B from what I've read about her chain smokes. ... I've read that her teeth and fingers are stained brown and yellow. ... So I doubt she'd be able to run 15 feet without doubling over out of breath.
-
She was the only reason to sit through the appalling Ghosts Of Mars. Sure she's a C List actress but with a different hair colour she'd come closer than anyone to capturing the full figured femininity of the legendary Lynda Carter.
-
She's in her late 20's, she's a pretty cool individual, if her ridiculous stint on She Spies is any indication...she'd probably do it up right.
-
She Spies is the greatest trash TV since FastLane. And since Las Vegas is on now, I have to say, while no Wonder woman, Vanessa Marcil is smokin' hot!!!
-
Fits the suit for me. She's certainly tall enough, and I can't think of anyone with better curves.
-
I've met her. She's certainly pretty enough, but she's got no figure at all. She's also tiny.

Cordelia please. If they can't cast my choice Shannon Elisabeth,
by stonemonkey
Gellar has gone from good looking to nearly flat chested and emaciated over the last 3 years.
-
Ask me if I care if she has an accent or nearly 40.
-
Who cares who she played in the past. Bet you'd all shut your mouth at the outcome.
-
LIV TYLER is WW. No other actress comes close to her as fitting this role.
Sorry if you can miss that people -

If you're going by stature, Belluci and Henstridge are a lock
by terry_1978
Monica is 5'10, Henstridge is about 5'9. That's about as close as you can get to the right height without it being too freakish.

Liv Tyler by her own admission weighs 160 now and has no plans o
by charles grady
Anyone who says Liv is clearly thinking of the old Stealing Beauty/Armageddon/LOTR Liv. Since then, as has been well documented in the press, she's gained some weight, and proudly boasts she has no intention of losing it. If you've seen her on Dave or doing publicity for ROTK, you'd see there's NO way she's doing a movie in tights anytime soon.....And anyway, why are you guys making these suggestions that are never gonna happen anyway??? Just because they fit your image of the character, doesn't mean these actresses are being asked to, or would EVEN WANT TO, play Wonder Woman.
-
I could care less about a WW movie. ... WW has never intrested me in the 30+ years I've been collecting comics. ... All of the movies and series have been really bad. ... The char just doesn't translate to live action well.
-
Is 5'6" according to IMDB, and that's stretching it. I worked with her on set for a week, and even in heels she's small. Besides that, she's skinny as a post -- figure free.
Look, she's got a great face, but she's a poor choice for WW. -
As long as the studios are gonna fuck up all the comic movies anyway (see Beyonce Knowles as Lois Lane) we may as well have some fun with this shit. I say we take a new direction and get Kathy Bates for the part. She can show her Amazonic struggle against Obesity and her failing attempt to get under 400 fucking pounds. This shit'll only work if McG directs though.
-
Yeah I know who Linda Carter is. ... I remember her girly run in WW where she took like 4 to 6 inch steps to keep her boobs from jumping around. .. There was a rumor back in the day that she had some ribs removed to get that waistline. ... Don't know if thats true or not, but I do know that the show was a horrible action / adventure show.

SMG=NO, doesn't fit the part at all. Charisma=I'd take her over
by the founder
Fan boys need to get over Faith, so she did a lil bit of martial arts on Buffy, big deal, she shouldn't be WW. SMG is totally wrong for the part, she doesn't fit the bill by a long shot.
Charisma is the best of the bunch, but she doesn't do it for me at all. She's to something to play WW, I haven't put my finger on it yet, but no, and her voice. -
I hate Tom Brady. Lucky bastard.
-
Charisma Carpenter as Wonder Woman? That would be nice. Someone suitable for the role rather then a splasht name like Sandra Bullock. Casting suitable actors in the role...what a novel idea!!
-
My votes for Charisma if they're going for a 'younger' WW; i.e., origin story sorta thing.
Catherine Bell would seriously rock my stones if they went with an "I do my super-hero'ing as a Dept. of Defense Intel Analyst that see's trouble brewing and whisks off to pound the bad guys into submission" kinda thing.
Her tv gig on JAG pays the bills, but she's done enough movies to show that she can hold her own. And she has the voice.
Also, according to IMDB, she body-doubled Isabella Rosellini in "Death Becomes Her". -
If you liked season 4, you'll LOVE season 2 & 3! I too, consider HUSH probably one of, if not the single best ep. in a series, fuckin'f creepy as hell. Season 5 is pretty good, and 6 is mostly depressing (necessary to the arc as a whole), but highlighted by the near genius musical episode and Willows decent. Season 7 is a mixed bag, alot crammed into one season...but hell, a mediocre Buffy episode is better than most good TV shows!
-
To Hell with Buffy The Vampire Bytch and I'm too short for the Role but I've got "Charisma". And before we go 'head and concede the role of every female lead in Hollywood from here 'til June 2008 to Beyonce "Booty" Knowles, let's campaign for a true DIVA to get the part. She's got physical stature, legs to kill for, a wonderful hue of skin tone, and a smile even more beautiful than Michael Jackson's... The greatest female starlett of the modern era, Ru Paul. **Studio applause**
Never mind the fact that she's a man, a mere formality when the magic of Hollywood can turn Charlize Theiron into suicidal, homicidal, genocidal trailer park trash. and while we're at it, let's cast Stuart from MAD TV as that colonel guy she falls for, and Dom Delouise as Darkseid.
-
Eh, 5'3", 5'9", no big difference, right? Jeezus. That's 6" difference of height AND presence that you can't fake with a camera. And besides, WW needs some damn MUSCLES, not string-cheese. Much as I hated the XENA series, Lawless could'a pulled this off in her day.
-
All 7 seasons had great episodes (as mentioned by others here...The Body, Once More, With Feeling, Hush etc) but there was something special about the first three years. I didn't give it a chance based on the stigma of the original movie, but I happened to catch the ep where Xander gets possessed by the Hyena. I knew the show was something special when the students ate the principal. You just didn't see writers going that dark and funny on tv and getting away with it. I also happened to like the film grain when they had a lesser budget (and when SMG was thicker way more attractive). Opinions vary, but as far as I'm concerned from "Welcome to the Hellmouth" though "Graduation Day" is some of the finest TV ever. Almost enought to make me forget season 7 and definately better than the usual lawyer, doctor, and cop shows that always get overpraised.
-
It should be Eva Mendes!!! although Charisma is super foxy too. And ironically like Harry I also started watching at season 4 and Hush sealed the deal considering its one of the best eps ever.
-
Harry I would recomend watching Seasons 2 and 3 before moving on to 5-7 since your obviously missing some much needed back story as you started in the friggin middle of the series. While any Buffy season is greatness personified season 4's story arc was probably the weakest of the series with Adam being a pretty lame Big Bad. My favorite season is 5 followed closely by 6. Love it dark.
-
Eddie Griffin can play her nemesis Man Whore
-
...unfortunately had to split and sever her ties with Hollywood, so I'll have to settle for Amanda Peet.
P.S.: Charisma is cockeyed as shit. -

I dont think theres ONE SINGLE actress that will demand the scre
by rcamacho2278
its true, women are not known for their action roles . so you got me,
I just say they should dump the ww idea and make a DANGER GIRL movie, with britney spears as alley, and jessica alba and some other hot girl, and bruce cambell should be in it.
-
I would love to see Charisma play WW... she's absolutely gorgeous (now that Team Whedon no longer gets to tell her to hack her hair off and dye it blonde). She definitely has the body for the role, and I think she could handle the acting chores as well -- it would certainly be something somewhat new for her.
SMG as WW? Please. I almost could not bear to watch her as Buffy in the last few years, walking around like an anorexic. Suspension of disbelief for fight scenes is very difficult when it looks like a stiff wind would blow her over. -
Sarah Michelle Gellar is too short and has the wrong look for Wonder, she was also horrible as Daphne in the Scooby Doo movie. Charisma would be perfect for the role of Princess Diana/Wonder Woman!!! I am a huge Wonder Woman fan and became a huge fan of Cordelia Chase on BTVS & ANGEL, Charisma is a fantastic actress and I would absolutely love to see her kick ass as Wonder Woman. But who should play Cheetah? Linda Carter should play the part of Wonder Womans mother, I wouldnt mind seeing Mark Lutz as Steve Trevor.
-
Some of you have the most god awful taste as far as casting movies go--the worst suggestions ive seen so far for the role of wonder woman--Laura Prepon (the REDHEAD from That 70's Show), Lucy Lawless (too damn old and short to play the part), Monica Belluci (are you people smoking crack?), Sarah Michelle Gellar (she's called Wonder Woman not Wonder Midget--she's an Amazon not a christmas elf). What next? Halle Berry, Gwen Stefani, Queen Latifah, The Olsen Twins, and Pauly Shore---thank god some of you arent casting movies in Hollywood.
-
Or did she back out?
-
Would it be too much to ask for a Wonder Woman who's not a total tramp? This is shaping up to be another Catwoman-sized disaster... they need to get someone who can a) true, not look ridiculous in the outfit but also b) have the acting chops to pull off the Amazon-heroine. Just cast Rachel Weisz already. -
'nuff said!
