Will Jessica Biel Don The Golden Lasso And Star-Spangled Panties For George Miller's JUSTICE LEAGUE??
I am – Hercules!!
Rumor has it that Brandon Routh and Christian Bale won’t be approached to play Superman or Batman in George “Mad Max” Miller’s upcoming “Justice League” movie, but word from Entertainment Weekly is Warner Bros. is already zeroing in on “Chuck & Larry” star Jessica Biel to play Princess Diana of Themyscira.
Read all of Entertainment Weekly’s story on the matter here.

But Biel is okay.
-
am i right? I have to wonder if they will cg biels fine curves as wonder woman. but then thats taking it a little to far
-
Im sorry but I have a terrible feeling we are in for a giant shitfest with this one!
-
enough said
-
Mark my words.
-
Not only are they predictably going for younger and hipper, the apparently also wanted a butterface. I really think this project would be better of doing the motion-capture approach. and i hate mo-cap, but for this, it would work
-
she's got the build and she's not dainty.
-
Yeah, she looks Ok, but over-rated!
-
She's a nice looking lady chunk
Also thought it meant Alba from F4 and thought WTFck!?Just get Nigela Lawson for Wonder Woman. -
...but she ain't no Wonder Woman -- just not tough enough.
However, Baccarin would be a PERFECT Dejah Thoris. Do not attempt to debate me on this. -
Cheers! Now if we can only get Billy Crudup as John Carter...
-
or Rhona Mitra
-
...isn't this film going to be MoCap?
-
more please (but with much, much less clothing). Thankyou.
-
You think the general public is going to go "oh my god celebrity as superman and jessica biel as wonder woman!" no they are going to go to the ticket box and go "oh my god superman, batman, wonder woman and the flash in 1 movie(they don't know the rest and even the flash is pushing it)". Bale not being in it will make a big difference. that is going to make a lot of people go "huh?". you know those people who can't differentiate between different characters running around.
-
could do with some clothes on
-
5'7"! I know it's movies but it feels more powerful knowing they are that big. Welling is 6'3", the same damn height and build as Supes and you can tell on screen. Try making these small bitches like the goddess Diana who is supposedly 6'0.
-
shouldn't the big 7 be at the bottom? I know Black Canary post crisis started the league but no bad luck.
-
boyblue and Be_a_zed, pray with me!!
-
Why do they have to be young?
Why not go the other way and have them all old!!
Kinda like Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy from Spongebob Squarepants!!! EVILLLLL!
Id pay to see that. -
... since we´re aiming for the "Batman-and-Robin-Effect" all over again... Well, I at least we had a good run with comic book movies... Ahem.
-
Will we get one or will this take it's place??
If so, I want the stupid fucking suit responcible given the Bob Barker treatment!! -
Already the casting is terrable.I know Christopher Nolan and Bryan Singer are rolling around in their graves already.Plus beil isnt hot enough to play Wonder Woman,Maybe Eva Green,but not the little 7th heaven.
-
DO IT!!!
-
Surely, there are better choices for this role.
-
yummy
-
Only give it the Watercolour style of the comic, that would work.
-
...the JLA project must have you spooging harder than when you "discovered" the hidden Venom pic. Now I guess you have the perfect excuse to yell "MELTING OWL!" in every talkback for months on end... ;)
-
Ok, in the books she´s always naked. Any adaptation MUST respect that detail.
-
Jessica is the wrong kind.
What we need is a 6 foot Amazon that other women HATE.
It's Wonder WOMAN and she's supposed to intimidate geeks. This chick is a skinny (yes that's BAD for WW) bit of fluff.
Wrong girl, wrong direction.
Get a white Venus Williams -
I love Fillion but I think the both of them together in another sci-fi project will make it difficult to see it anything other than the Firefly folks dressin' up. One or the other, yes. Both of them, not so much.
-
but she isn't WW!!!!!
-
They could do a lot worse. And this movie could be great, though a large part of pulling this off will be the visual interpretation, in a way (or style) that won't look ridiculous on screen. The director's vision for this movie is going to be a major factor, in how it plays out. "300" owes much to the director's eye. Visual interpretation can make or break how performances come across. I'm REALLY curious how this one is going to LOOK. What, exactly, IS the director's VISION for this flick? THAT is what I want to know, ...know what I mean, jellybean?
-
Those pics are old. In fact, he looks like She-Hulk. She used to be sexy, but now...
-
For the love of all that is good.
Please do not cast that woman.
This movie has a SLIGHT chance of being good, but bad casting will break it -
http://theblemish.com/2006/10/jessica-biel-is-getting-scary/
-
Right now, I feel very good about the choice of Jessica Biel. But a tiny bit more muscle definition wouldn't hurt, either.
-
She is a god awful actress. I would have preferred an unknown for the part, or at least someone who could deliver a line. This thing is starting to look shaky.
-
big deal with this girl? She seems nice enough, but whatever; she can't act isn't nearly as drop-dead gorgeous as everyone seems to think.
-
how can they be rolling in their graves? Singer sucked major cock in making superman, i rolled in my grave when i endured superman returns.
-
Classic or Modern take?
-
for George Miller, so the job is hers. Sorry Yack.
-
while morena baccarin got the face and the color. why not find somebody who's got both? looking forward to see what miller makes of this.
-
Dark Horizons has the breakdown of the "types" of people being cast - 8 to 9 lead roles, with one African American and the rest Caucasian. I think we can do the math.
-
She's not a bad actress, she just gets involved with shit movies and directors. She was actually pretty good in "The Illusionist." And she has the Amazonian athletics down pat.
-
More like The Road Warrior and less like Happy Feet.
-
Wonder Woman, even if cast to perfection w/ a perfect costume, will look retarded on the big screen.
-
Ugh.
-
What else matters?
Oh wait... that pesky acting thing.
LOL pipergates that quote needs to be on greeting cards. -
I would love Morena Baccarin for the role, but she's a bit too tiny and petite...unless she tones up and they shoot her on boxes or put everyone else in trenches like they do for Tom Cruise.
-
GO JLA!!!!!! GO JLA GO!
-
Seriously you cant have someone like jessica biel playing WW and have a no name playing batman... it would fucking be lame.
-
Wentworth Miller for Batman, his character in Prison Break is basically Bruce Wayne in prison, cold, calculating, less talk more actions, and always has contingency plans. As for Superman? I have no idea.... perhaps Henry Cavill or Caviezel?
-
For WW, they do need a woman that could kick someone's @ss.
-
If you're going for the look and a relatively fresh face (as far as casting is concerned of a potential future character series) I'd vote for Idina Menzel (of Rent & Wicked fame).
check out pics of her at at imdb.com or google her.
-
for Wonder Woman. best casting ever.
-
I'm with YackBacker! Why force this JLA down our throats while a hugely successful Bat-Franchise is rolling strong?!?
Fine, have Routh play Superman, as a continuation of Returns. But leave Bats out of it until the Nolan flicks are through. Adding him in the 2nd or 3rd JLA flick isn't going to hurt anything. And by then, if your first JLA outing is a success, you may be able to convince Bale to do it.
At least Marvel is smart enough to protect their X-Men franchise by doing Wolverine and Magneto pics WITH THE SAME ACTORS!!!! -
you need bale and routh as supes and bats. they've proved themselves wothy of the outfit. it has to be hal jordan as GL. He is GL. wonder woman, here's an idea, have an actual woman play her. you need someone with curves, , someone who can act, and some one with presence. THis is the JUSTICE LEAGUE. not ONE FUCKING TREE HILL. although i love morwena, she's too slender and small. Carpenter has the right size and the build, and she coudl pull it off. she's been aiming for this role for ages, give it to her
-
It's no rumor - Brandon Routh and Christian Bale are definitely NOT doing JLA. The third BATMAN film will continue as scheduled but MAN OF STEEL is on hold. They were considering Tom Welling to play Supes in the JLA flick but it has been confirmed that he is out, as well.
-
I think I'd rather see her in a leotard or her bikini/underwear again...can we not have yet another film where she's walking around nearly nekkid? It's getting old, and "Stealth" almost ruined Richard Roxburgh's career.
-
She's too skinny now - but back when she was more full figured, she absolutely WAS Wonder Woman.
-
and not that attractive. I'll take Biel any day over Carpenter
-
Chiwetel Ejiofor is the ONLY choice (at least for me) to play a John Stewart GL. Who can argue with that?
-
I'd much prefer Victoria Hill, who is hot, a brunette (like Wonder Woman), and is a highly acclaimed Australian actress with real talent.
Jessica is hot but is too doofy. I guess they could do worse than Beil but my vote is for Hill. -
You KNOW this to be true
-
I think a lot of people overlook the fact that their "favorites" to play Wonder Woman are far too old for what the studio is looking for. I know. I know. 35 isn't that old. But when you make a movie aimed at young males between 10 and 35 (yes the demo would be greater), then you cast young. Not just because "young is hotter" or some nonsense. It's because if you make three or four movies over the course of 10-12 years, you want your stars to not look rediculous. Women like Jennifer Connely (37), Monica Bellucci (43), Charisma Carpenter (37) while all beautiful, aren't realistic possibilities unfortunately.
And my vote would have been Charisma, but Biel isn't bad. -
Jennifer Connelly just looks like a Michael Turner girl. good lord!
-
i'd buy your realistic argument a lot easier if hollywood women actually aged. Connelly has looked the same for the past 20 years. look at her in Labrynth vs her in requiem, the only thing that changes are her eyebrows.
-
Mention Jessica Biel and a JLA headliner finally appears on AICN. I'm sorry but I don't think she would be good. I think they should get a foreign actress. Wonder Woman is Greek in origin after all. I know that Bale is out for Batman, but Routh still isn't totally out for Superman from what I read at other places. I really would like to have seen Welling as Superman. I think they just need to make sure they don't make this a Hollywood "supercast". Nothing wrong with a headliner or two, but don't make it full of superstars just to get top billing.
-
I'm looking at YOU, Yackbacker and Sirbroiler: Guys, just because this movie didn't languish in development hell for 10 years doesn't mean it's being forced down our throats - and it's certainly not like it's being written, directed and produced by McG...George Miller and Barrie Osborne are high pedigree - I can't think of any other producers that have a stronger record of making monumental movies, and Miller is an inspired choice. Besides, we had 3 Batmen in 4 movies, and we've seen Supes portrayed at the movies and on TV by Christopher Reeve, Dean Cain, Tom Welling, and the dude on the crappy Saturday morning Superboy show from years back - I don't think that the general public's head exploded from all that. The audience will get past it if you tell a good story, and I think the potential for a good story is here.
-
I don't care how "old" she is, she's bloody well PERFECT.
-
She's a bit older, which gives her the cred, and she's unbelievably beautiful. Oh yeah, and she can act!!!
-
if JLA is gonna be CGI/Motion capture characters like Polar Express or Final Fantasy or the new Beowulf then could it be possible that superman could be done so as to resembal Reeve's face? using footage from his superman and other movies as another actor portrays the body movement? (as they normally do in those CGI/Motion capture films)
Reeve is the definitive Superman and in Superman Returns Singer made an intentional effort to hire a guy that sorta resembled Reeve when made up (blue contacts etc)
and Maybe they could do something similar for Batman and hire Michael keaton?... -
...they've only mentioned Superman, Batman (it'd be suicidal to do a JLA movie without 'em), Wonder Woman, Aquaman and Flash so far. Kind of makes sense - GL has a much better stand-alone origin story and could easily support its own franchise. But I sure want to see Green Lantern in this movie. It would balance out the colors for one thing (the big 7 members just look good together) and it'd be another human, relatable character alongside Flash. I say have John Stewart in this film then do Hal Jordan as the star of a solo GL movie. If you can put aside your preconceived notion it makes sense to give Hal another human co-star and it would reinforce the whole "rookie becomes the greatest Green Lantern" angle. And Biel is a good choice! They were obviously going to go with someone younger and more all-American and I think Biel is about the best of the possible choices. Salma Hayek?? She's about 5 ft! Not Wonder Woman material.
-
Biel certainly has the potential for the athleticism that the role would demand.
-
should remember that when you're throwing all these actresses names in the ring that they may be beautiful but they are not Amazonian. Morena Baccarin is gorgeous but tiny. I haven't read all the above posts so I may have missed some amazonian types.
-
If they are gonna have Batman and no Bruce Wayne, why not?
He has starred action movies and the fans would go apeshite. -
Would I like to see Biel in a WW costume? Absofuckinglutely, in several different poses in several different photos...you get the idea. But in a WW costume in a JLA flick? It's not the WORST choice, but it just doesn't feel right. I have a bad feeling about the JLA flick...
-
I don't remember what year it was, but she was either in FHM or Stuff circa 2002-2004. And, let's just say she had the look, and the build. Didn't watch a lot of JAG, but it seems like her acting was alright. She's 39 years old, and I'm largely basing this on one of her magazine photo shoots. Too me, it's far more appealing than Biel or most of the flavor of the day actresses. Admittedly, Lindsey Lohan is pretty hot, and probably needs to negotiate with Hugh Heffner, but she's not right for Wonder Woman either. And, thank God it's not Alba. Let's face it, Bell is too old for your typical casting director. They'll trade acting chops, and the right look, for the younger no-talented chicks any day.
-
I'm moderately surprised. Is Van Wilder still Flash? If Brandon Routh isn't camping in front of Miller's house and washing his car and polishing his balls, he is an idiot. This could be his last shot at a decent job.
-
Any word on who they are suppose to be fighting?
-
Jessica is perfect!
-
They didn't even bother to have the same guy play Batman in the Batman movies, why would you expect them to for this either? It would be smart of them to have already cast Bale & Routh and act like they won't, since that will get them a few extra free mainstream news stories. Story 1, they aren't in the movie. Story 2, Routh is in. Story 3, Bale is in! Story 2 & 3 will of course make no mention of how they got Story 1 wrong.
-
Ick. That'd distract me for the whole flick!
I know it's obvious, but Lucy Lawless. She's not doing anything at the moment is she? And only a quick jump across the pond. I like older for Justice League. Ross' art makes sense as young super heroes getting together seems more like hero college or training school or something. Seems like a natural fit to go out, do your stuff, then years later get together with your mates and kick some arse.
My fingers are crossed. Miller has never made a bad film (as distinct from a film people disagree about). On the other hand, they want to start SHOOTING in Feb., it's almost October and they haven't started work yet. Bloody suits and tail-wagging-the-dog fit the release date mentality. -
Every article says something different. When there was a report that some Australian actress had been approached, they said it was going to be an entirely motion capture film, which is the only way this will work. Otherwise, it totally undermines the other franchises.
-
Zena needs to be WW!! And not having Brandon Routh and Christian Bale in it for continuity (like they are doing for Wolverine & Magneto) is plain stupid!
-
as if this movie needed more reasons to fail. now it is for sure gonna tank. biel ruins EVERY movie she's in.
-

Clooney as Superman, Pitt as Batman, Damon as Flash
by bringingsexyback
Zeta-Jones as Wonder Woman, Wahlberg as Aquaman, and Cheadle as Green Lantern. There, done.
-
Don't you mean Elliott Gould for Aquaman?
-
She would fuck you up!
-
Geez, man!! That girl needs to go chow down and get some meat on her bones! Ok...no meat or bone jokes, please...
-
Hopefully we're talking on the level of Darkseid? If that were the case,
I doubt Batman would just 'have a protein shake and go to bed.' There
are good reasons why Bats chooses to work with the League. There IS a wider DCU out there beyond the one (one!) movie that Bale was in. -
I'll second that notion, Spango. Lucy Lawless!!!!!!!!
-
"Shy Love", the porn star, is the perfect Wonder Woman. She has the look and the body. Also, since WW was created by William Moulton Marston, a Harvard PhD in Psychology, as a way to explore BDSM within the popular culture, Shy Love brings the added benefit of professional experience. We could see a WW movie which ring her creator's vision to the big screen. Also, the fanboys will be happy.
-
Just my 2 cents on topic. Biel is certainly as good as anyone else in her age range...at least she is fit!
Lucy Lawless would have been GREAT...10 or 15 years ago. -
I'll second that notion, Spango. Lucy Lawless!!!!!!!! And, yea...Bale and Routh should be Batman and Superman...period.
-
I didn't even think of Lucy Lawless. I think she would be pretty good actually. If they don't get Routh for Superman, they should get the guy who plays Superman in that World's Finest trailer movie thing that was made a handful of years ago for the net. He looks exactly like Superman. Also, since Batman is supposedly only going to be in costume for this flick, they can focus more on the acting ability and build as opposed to a certain look. I really have my hopes up for this movie to be something good. X-Men was a decent franchise, but I grew up with DC, so this is what I have been waiting for. I just wish Hal Jordan would stop getting the cold shoulder from DC lately.
-
Face it: Zeta-Jones and Bullucci are slghty passed their prime by now. Who cares if Baccarin isn't overly muscuar? It's called super-strength, people! And just look at her performance as Black Canary in JLU to see her acting apropriately fearsome.
-
Perfect to play an Amazonian Super Powered Lesbian.
-
would be a-okay with me.
-

Abin Sur, I was thinking of Carl Reiner for Aquaman
by bringingsexyback
but Elliot Gould would be great. I just thought of Wahlberg cause he's really Matt Damon's shorter clone.
-
I think it would be a mistake for them to recast Supe and Bats. If they can't get Routh or Bale, why not give it to someone else who has played the part previously. Maybe Kilmer or Clooney for Bats? Clooney has always said he wanted to take another shot at the role. As for Supes, there is always Dean Cain, Gerard Christopher, or Tom Welling. Just an idea.
-
Russell Crowe as Green Lantern and Ke Huy Quan as Short Round.
-
Dancing With The Stars is back!!
-
Because Donnie's got that mongoloid look that really creeps me out. Gould is great because he could show off his hairy sweater chest and gold chain ala Ocean's 11.
-
Too sexy!
-
Aquaman can't have a receding hairline ..
-
Another person who had the look, and body for Wonder Woman, was Claudia "Babylon 5" Christian. Probably not as good as Bell, but another good look's choice during the 1990's. Acting-wise...so-so. I do remember a number of revealing pics of Claudia back in the day, however. My vote is still for early 2000's Catherine Bell.
-
...nothing must hinder Diora from playing Barbarella.
Diiioooorrraaaaaa Baaaaaiiiirrrd!! -
while Equinas is free to fuck horses? Where is the justice?
-
Is that Monica Belluci? She'd be good. I also saw a rumor yesterday about some Aussie chick...veronica something.
-
Super Hero Hype shows this relative unknown who tired out for the role and she would be perfect. I am a diehard Supes fan so I am holding my breath until they annouce casting for that role. It will tie this whole thing together. Ryan Reynolds as Flash, and you gotta get Nathan Fillion in there somewhere.
-
Well, not only choice, but the best choice in my opinion. I think she was good as bad ass chick in Blade 3. I'm interested in Justice League, the only thing that bothers me is the parts of Superman and Batman. How can anyone come close to Bale as Batman or Routh as Supes. That is my only concern.
-
That would fucking rock and you all know it. He's playing a detective right now, hell he's been playing a detective/superhero for years now and he's still in good shape and has that super hero jaw. If he doesn't get a role i n this flick i'm out man, unless they have him play Hal Jordan in a Green Lantern flick.
-
Too bad he's not the Lantern in the movie...
-
...when I saw that bottom pic.
-
I hope i'm not double posting but it hasn't shown up for some reason. Anyways he would rule in that role. He's not too old and he can play the Dark Knight/detective role to a tee. He perfected it on Angel.
-
I don't know this twat from Eve, but from the photos it appears that Miller is looking the "get real" with JLA. Requiem for a Franchise, anyone?
-
This movie is a fucked up concept to begin with (going against what the new Batman and Superman movies have already established) but why all the young looking superheros? In the comics, these crime stoppers are portrayed as good looking but mature people with ordinary abilities. Christian Bale as Batman has been the only example in recent comic book movies as the prefect casting. Tobey Macguire as Spidey is suppose to be young so he doesn't count. Jessica Biel is sexy as hell but you might as well call her Wonder Girl. She has that baby face with a sexy body that wouldn't work and people would think is another WB TEEN movie. I agree that Monica Belucci would be an awesome Wonder Woman. She is the prefect age and has the prefect look PLUS, she's taken more seriously as an actor than Jessica. Even, Kate Beckinsdale would be a notch up. Brandon Routh was a good Superman but he still looked more like SuperBoy. Jim Caviziel would have been the perfect choice. I know that Christopher Reeves was in his very early twenties when he played Superman but he is a prime example of someone who was young but still had a mature look about him that allowed his character to be more believable. And don't get me started on all of the Fantastic Four castings. It was not as bad as a WB movie casting but pretty close. FOR ONCE, cast these superhero characters look like their names ask them to be: WonderWOMAN, SuperMAN, AquaMAN, etc. Enough of the teeny bopper looking crime fighters!
-
http://cgi.ebay.com/STUFF-MAGAZINE-OCTOBER-2003-CATHERINE-BELL_W0QQitemZ180150746372QQcmdZViewItem Tell me she's not Wonder Woman. At least back in 2003!
-
...well, I guess they may as well do it all at once. Saves time and money.
-
And Gardner's the shit, hands down. A *much* more interesting character to play around with.
-
and Zeta Jones were the only choice.in the 1990's. Lawless ruled herself out sometime ago. She didnt want to another Kick ass heroine after Zena. There was alot of talk that she may one day do a zena movie. But she shot that down. I think she was sick of zena when she finished it. Catherine Zeta Jones is too frosty though she looks like wonder woman. Wonder woman requiers the female actor to play a dual role and the audience has to have thier belief suspended. Biel is not that good of an actress. though she looks fit. Lynda Carter and Helen Slater had that sixties wholesome appeal which Biel doesnt have. If they were going to cast anyone I would say alba. But many here dont like here. I would be very happy to see the actress who played solange appear in a brassier and panties for two hours or Eva green. those two were hotness in casino royale or isla fisher or melissa George.
-
...with a golden turkey leg.
-
that John Mcteirnan was found guilty in that wiretap case.
-
Thank you Hercules, thank you from the bottom of my heart.
-
It's about time an AICN writer included shots of the actors discussed in an article! Hercules rules!! And when it applies to a SMOKING HOT actress, even better! PLEASE join the rest of us on the Web 2.0 AICN and start posting images with your articles, you old-school poops.
-
...this crap.I agree the best choice for Wonder Woman/Diana has to be Monica Bellucci. She would make an awesome vicious Wonder Woman.Just imagine her in flash back snapping the neck of Max Lord. But from the JL movie angle, Biel just doesnt have the acting chops to play someone has vicious has Diana who could hand a beating to Superman or Green Lantern.
-
Give me a job where i can hassle the WB movie executives all day. There is too much cocaine used in decision making at WB movies.
-
...and can barely speak english. I'd still bang her like there's no tomorrow, but from watching Shoot 'Em Up it was clear she's entering MILF territory now.
-
See Mad Men.
-
I agree with an earlier comment: Woman in Hollywood don't age like everyday woman - they can afford NOT to. Monica Bellucci is an ageless wonder. In terms of actual age, she is much 'older' than Jessica Biel but in terms of appearance, she is far sexier and young enough looking to still play WonderWoman in this film and in any sequels. Remember her in the Matrix 2 with that tight, sexy latex dress? Or in Francis Ford Coppola's Dracula as one of Dracula's brides? She still looks the same today. She's atheletic, mature, sexy and a great actress.
-
This type of movie should at least have time to come together, but the way they are rushing this worries me.
-
I would have gone with Zeta. Somebody used to post here who backed me up on the Catherine Bell. Apparently he's not here today. Check it out Catherine Bell Stuff Magazine October 2003. What could have been. At 39, it's [probably not realistic now.
-
c'mon!!
-
Damned if Jane Seymour isn't holding up fairly well, considering she's 56 years old. That's the only nice thing I saw in Wedding Crashers.
-
Just seamlessly edit old Lynda Carter clips into the movie. Include Debra Winger if necessary.
-
She had a good WW look for the 70's. Body-wise Claudia Christian, Catherine Bell, and Zeta-Jones were among the few who could fill the cups so-to-speak.
-
This film is Warner's attempt at snatching the same crowd that loved Fantastic 4, and for a sense of tone and performance, we should look more to 'Beyond Thunderdome' than the renditions of Max more widely hailed by dork fandom. They want a bunch of youth-friendly characters in a high-adventure setting with pulp and flash, and JLA is a good place to look and has the potential to launch countless franchises, in the same way Fox is hoping to do with X-Men. For a film like that, Biel is a fantastic choice - she's game for stunts, she's ready to have fun, and she's a good actor to boot. This is a movie where we want to see the actors having a good time. We are not meant to believe a man can fly in this one, and showing us the wires a little lets us in on the good time. In a film like this, the cast is a tour guide to movie magic.
-
"BIG NAME! BIG NAME! BIG NAME!"
This movie is going to suck. -
What a surprise Kate Winslet could be. When I was thinking of her for this role, I studied a few photographs of her at www.imdb.com (internet movie data base) and, while finding her Wonder Woman hair style, I would imagine the right hair color. She could REALLY be a surprise pick and quite the blessing for such a motion picture. If she wanted the part, I don't know HOW Warner Bros. could refuse. She really IS a wonder WOMAN.
-
Not sure if anyone else suggested it, but she has the build and acting chops to pull this off. Plus she's friggin gorgeous. Tell me if I'm wrong, I dare you.
-
I used to think Morena Baccarin was perfect for Wonder Woman, but Candice is a much better choice. She is even getting more athletic by the week. But hey, I wouldn't mind Morena, Monica or Jessica as Wonder Woman.
-
damnit! why ruin the movie with her? she's far too slight and wispy to be wonder woman. that just sucks. if they really wanna go that way, they should cast ali larter. she's got the beauty and the stones to pull the role off...
-
A different actor or will they not be in the movie?
At least Biel can act better than Alba, they both need to get naked though. -
http://tinyurl.com/25oubm
-
i am more concerned about respect of the characters and effort than anything else. hugh jackman is a prime example...wolverine isn't anywhere near 6'1", but hugh respects the character and the fans. if jessica does that i'm perfectly fine with her playing Wonder Woman.
-
If they hire Kate Winslet for the role, it would automatically elevate the level of quality and increase the odds for greatness, if only that's what they're going for.
-
This is the same shit I was worried would happen with the Wonder Woman movie, and everyone was all "Oooh, Sarah Michelle Gellar, or maybe Charisma Carpenter, they were sooooo good in Buffy!". God damn it people, Wonder Woman is an AMAZON!!! SHE IS THE EMBODIMENT OF FEMININE STRENGTH, NOT A 90 LB WIREY WB BEANPOLE! Not knocking Biel here, she's gorgeous and all, but she is ABSOLUTELY, POSITIVELY WRONG FOR THIS PART.
-
needs to step away from these silly heroes. The only time him and Supes should be screen sharing is if they do a proper Dark Knight based on Frank Miller's graphic novels where Bats beats Super Man's ass with the armor and tank. And George Miller hasn't directed proper action since '85. Dear lord this will suck.
-
But after reading nearly every modern post rebirth green lantern issue, i think Hal Jordan has to be a better looking guy. What a fanboy post this is.
-
I'm off topic as usual. Monica Bellucci- while having possibly the best rack in the business- can't come off as American with her voice- which Wonder Woman obviously needs to be. Whatever. All these casting ideas are just getting me horny. Mary Elizabeth Winstead- goddamn. She's so fucking hot in Death Proof. Actually- whoever said Diora Baird- I can see her at least looking perfect as WW.
-
But of course, it's gonna be the John Stewart Lantern, so obviously you'd go with Jon Stewart.
-
probably after drinking that thing from the other shot. Not sexy! To me anyway. Taking a dump I mean.
-
Nathan would make a good Hal Jordan too but I'd rather see him take up the whip and hat if they ever do a Indy project without Ford. That said, only Baccarin is worthy of WW.
-
respect thanks to his recent animated fare, but the combination of news that this is going to be live action, no Bale or Ruth, and now this has me doubting the stability of this project. In another forum someone mentioned that Superman and Batman should look older, to insinuate that this takes place years after their own franchises, which I'm in favor of. DC has a lot of catching up to do in terms of number of films (certainly not in quality) because Marvel has really beaten them to the punch in regards to these superhero films.
-
But Denis Leary as Guy Gardner would be PERFECT.
-
A sfx technician died on the set of Dark Knight. Aint it sad news?
-
or great minds think alike. Lawless has the look. I'm sure Alex Ross thinks so. But that's just looks, I don't care as long as the chick can act.
In relation to Bellucci, is WW actually supposed to have an American accent? Obviously I'm not a WW fan (except for the Adam Hughes covers), but she comes from an island of Amazonians right? Is it just off the coast of America? Or was she a kid when she got there? People generally don't lose their accents if they hit the new place when they're in their teens. An accent wouldn't bother me, and fits the whole Amazonian 'exotic' thing.
It's pretty funny, fanboy casting. Ooh! (insert Buffy actor) would be perfect! Then, Ooh! (insert Angel actor) would be perfect! Then Ooh! (insert Firefly actor) would be perfect! Then Ooh! (insert Heroes actor) would be perfect!... -
Sure she may not be an action hero, but neither was Keanu until he trained. With training she could be right. She also comes with a built in audience. Both those lame Princess movies made over 100 mil, and Devil Wears Prada did very well for her. So she could be right for the part Hathaway is a young woman who can act, who fits the look and is tall enough, who coincidentally can open a film on her own. Casting her would be a no brainer, but watch them cast an unknown like that big face chick who is the new Bionic Woman.
-
The whole random casting suggestions that do not go beyond the "Buffyverse" are annoying. Charisma Carpenter is not a good actor. She was good at being a bitch which doesn't take that much acting skill, especially when the quips that she was given to say (by the talented writers) were pretty clever. The chick from Firefly is kinda small framed. And Monica Belluci is beautiful, but does she seem like a low rent Zeta Jones to anyone else?And I agree with the Mary Elizabeth Winstead suggestion someone mentioned above. she could probably handle the role, and she is tall.
-
Eva green as well as the actress who played solange. Catalina Morino. The scene where she is rolling around with bond on the floor in that red dress, she was smoking.
-
Alba, Biel, Simpson -- all no-talented MAXIM fodder given credibility by horndog hollywood producers. I did have hope, but if this is the casting path Miller is taking...PASS.
-
I could see her being a very nice fan convention wonder woman, that's for sure. Would probably fill the cups better than Biel.
-
go back to reading your celebrity magazines. Stars don't make a difference anymore. You think it's going to make a difference if a star is a superhero in a justice league movie, actually not having Bale who isn't a movie star but a well respected actor is actually going to affect the film negatively.
-
Again, Diana is an Amazon. Jessica needs to get in shape for this part and be frakking BUILT. Work those weights, girl. That's why I like Beth Phoenix with dark hair.
-
Emily Blunt - piece of work, that one is. Hope she's auditioning too.
-
The JLA movie is getting built by the studio hacks, and Miller is letting them; this is stunt casting that will ruin this film the way the 1st FF film went.
Look at Alba in that; she looks perfect until she open her delicate mouth; Biel has one film, "The Illusionist" that she actually got to act. At least Baccarin can act, as far as Firefly is concerned.
But WB wants eye candy first, good acting second; if only Nolan was directing this; he'd stand up against them. -
With modern filming techniques, huge men have been made to look like dwarves, and small men to look like hobbits, and very convincingly.
If they want to, they can make Jessica Biel (or whoever they cast) look 6 feet tall to stand next to Superman and Batman. -
Can anyone answer this question?!
-
If Wonder Woman were a hardcore Lesbian and this film was going to be a Direct To "Logo" exclusive film. She is not sexy at all. In T3 all she did was watch "Species" and copy it. And let's not forget her stint in "Bloodrayne". As for Jessica Biel getting in shape, has anyone seen her lately? Jessica Biel is already "built". She never lost the weight she gained for Blade 3, and has only gotten more solid. It's to the point that gossip blogs call her She Hulk. And I agree, Shannon Elizabeth would be good dressed as Wonder Woman only if she is promoting the Justice League video game at E3.
-
Wes Bentley.
-
But since they're using John Stewart, I gotta go with J. August Richards.
-
Someone mentioned "Species." She might be too old, but she's got the body, the stature, AND can act.
-
Dominic Purcell. He's from Australia isn't he? They can save some money. And he's a good actor, already in shape, and Prison Break will be cancelled after this season anyway.But if it aint Bale, then who really gives a shit really
-
Monica Belucci is fine, but theyll never cast her. MARK MY WORDS: They're going to skew these characters as young as they can, because they want the teens and 20-somethings to hand over their cash. Pretty much plan on no one over 30. This'll end up looking like Smallville, but in costumes. Do it MoCap, or dont do it at all, because I guarantee there's no way they're going to portray the characters accurately.
-
For Batman, if they're going mo-cap, Powers Boothe is another good one. Or Michael Ironside or John Saxon. If they're going mo-cap. Which they should.
Or just leave Batman the hell out of it. That's the best way to go. We've already got Batman movies and they are doing a near-perfect job.
For WW: What about Olivia Wilde? -

...since this site should be called didnt-transformers-suck.com, but if they want a young Amazong look, Megan Fox could be a fit.

You may remember me as MrParker..I used to post on here...those who do can vouch for authenticity..I spilled the beans on SpiderMan 3 about a year before release and with an update 6 months later..also lots of stuff on X3..all came to pass, every detail. Anyhoo, not a DC guy (pretty obvious) but close links (link) within the biz and what those on other side of the pond are doing..what I've been told is that the Supes casting is gonna piss people off...Welling is out the picture, in all senses, most casting is going to be of the Biel, Reynolds, hot young thing, young WB type, pretty boys and girls who can last 3 rounds for the planned sequels and will have no quiblles about their artistic integrity..Batman is probably more like the Burton batman of '89 etc, almost a peripheral character, Supes will at as a lead for the team, but the script is cetred around WW and it will be the secondary characters and specifically WW who will have the most screentime..be under no llusions that this is anything more than a springboard for spinoffs and more sequels for the next 7-8 years..GL, Flash, WW, AM, Supes, Bats etc and JL. I have heard a mooted around idea of doing a villain centric JL film down the road also - Luthor, Black Adam, etc sounds crap to me and hope they don't completely flood the market. No Darkseid, no Luthor, load of cameos that most of the audience won't get..the bad guys are the good guys here, no massive threat unfortunately..but a good throwdown between yep, Supes and.......Bats (this has already been leaked I think!?)..I very nearly got into a bit of shit for the SM3 stuff I leaked..but DC not much to do with me. Anything I get I'll post, Harry feel free to e-mail me, as I do not want to post certain specific points (casting not yet signed etc) as I'm not 100% on it and also cause as you probably knwo as much as I do and don't want to post stuff you dont want to leak..sure I'll get 'flamed' but take what you want from the above..
-
I wish you'd spilled the beans the Spiderman 3 was going to SUCK.
-
Looks like Wonder Woman. She has a good height, nice long black hair, and is a knock out. But she is a singer not an actor. Let me shut up though before WB reads my post and gets any ideas about casting a singer instead of an actress and casts Beyonce
-
please no more alba nonsense, give us the blue-eyed natural goddess Diana is - loved the JLA cartoon with the "catfights" and diana just mopped the flooor with everyone else - give us her and everything will be alright, though to be fair Biel's a little not so much tall and athletic.
-
so it's a no dice. Not this year. Fini.
I love George Miller, he's great but the whole project smells like a rushed script and kiddie casting. Haley Joel Osment as Bruce Wayne, or other shitty choices like that. -

If you read web blogs about celebrities, you rarely see her NOT working out. Apparently that's all she does, work out, walk her dog, and dates Justin Timberfag. -
Alana De La Garza from Law and Order. Check her out on IMDB. She can act and she got the looks and height that are just right. On comics2film somebody put a photoshop pic of her in the gallery wearing the WW outfit. This only solidifies my opinion.
-
Well..appreciate what you're saying..tho I did give a pre-warning that the costume designs for GG were worse than before and would not please, well, anyone, and that Venom was barely in it as he was due to be saved for number 4 (not to be now) and the script was kinda kooky (dancing scenes I leaked etc that noone bought at the time)..but sorry you didn't like it..I was disappointed that more wasn't given to Venom as sugested..not Raimi's fault, he really was a last minute addition, really close to the wire he was even going to be in it..but toy companies rule hollywood I'm afraid..as will be the case with JL.hence the new costumes for each and every character, (yellow symbol on bat this time round) and wait for all the 'cool' civilian wear designs that are being developed...
-
It's so obvious! She is young enough to appease the suits, has the right look and build, and might be considered enough of a name by now.
-
As a point of interest..what would people be looking for from a fourth Spider-man film? Robert Knepper as...a certain someone? or more classic designs..Lizard, Electro and Vulture? Less Parker more SM or vice versa?
-
You're damned right about that one. Probably not an actress, but again(like Shannon Elizabeth), she would make a best in show Wonder Woman at DragonCon. And, she could DEFINATELY fill the cups.
-
Now that SpideyK has spilled the beans on how JLA is going to center around WonderWoman, it is of utmost importance that the one they cast be able a capable actress AND be able to fill in the C cups and Jessica Beil is pubesant years from doing the latter of the two. In all seriousness..can you really imagine Jessica Biel carrying this movie? IT MUST BE DONE IN MOTION CAPTURE!!!

Not refuting you being "in the know," but I've read from other 100% reliable sources that Aquaman is NOT mentioned as being part of the team this time out, but you DID mention him. Are you saying Aquaman IS in the movie?

All I know (or have been told) is that he's in the script but not as a character if that makes any sense..from what I understand they are going to set it up so that there is a need to grow the League, replace certain memebers at the end post-fallout from the 'twist' (I think it's best if you imagine this as a scene a la Avengers 2 animated movie) and so a sequel will have the "ooh who are they going to introduce next" buzz..plus more Toy igures to produce..with new costumes for all lead caharacters of course..and posable arms..

According to the article at Dark Horizons... "The characters of Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Green Lantern, The Flash and Martian Manhunter comprise the League.
The 'Lantern' of this film is John Stewart, whilst The Flash is the youngest member and has a crush on Wonder Woman.
Batman has a piece of technology he developed called the 'Redeye', that he can use to spy unbeknownst on the other League members. It becomes a catalyst for events when a villain takes control of it, whilst one of the League members will 'go bad'." -

....in my opinion, it doesn't really matter who they cast in these roles (as long as they get a couple right).
No, there's only one name associated with this production that matters, and that name is GEORGE F#@&%N MILLER! I think it would matter if the director was a Bryan Singer or a McG or (fill in the name of the latest director who's first film was a promising indie) type. But come on, this man's a real director (an artiste even)! Let's give credit to the studios for going with such a bold choice for (what I'm sure they consider to be) their prized character properties. The Mad Max series, The Witches of Eastwick, The Babe movies, and Happy Feet attest to this man's creative mastery. I for one am stoked about this movie regardless of who plays the Martian Manhunter. -
Sorry, cleaning coffee off my keyboard! Well, I believe the OMAC storyline is heavily borrowed from, but I don't think there is a big infux of blue robots flying about..in essence Bats (as per post above) does jeapordise the team via OMAC storyline, and has to learn to be a part of a team to rectify it minus hundreds of costly OMAC's..could be wrong, but can usually rely on my contact on that side..
-
Greatest villain in JLA history.
-
I think there are tons of actresses out there with tons more talent than her and tons more hotness, too. She's not ugly, but I find her kind of plain looking. I'm sure all the Jessica lovers out there will hurl shit at me for that, but that's the way I feel. She's a pretty shit actress and a rather uninspired choice for Wonder Woman. If this goes ahead, I might just hate this casting almost (ALMOST!) as much as I hate that other Jessica playing Sue Storm in the FF movies. But I must say, I'd take Biel over Monica Belluci anyday. Belluci's a hottie for sure, but her "acting" stinks. I'd rather see an unknown in the role, but of all the names being tossed about, my pick would be Zeta Jones, who at least has some acting talent AND looks the role.
-
I'm serious.
-
Someone look back..Anytime J.B. came up in conversation I screamed from the rooftops, "Jessica Biel as WonderWoman!!!" God-Dangit!

is Wonder Woman.

Good. This should stand on its own terms.

Is this the same story line that has Martian Manhunter the villian, but with a twist?
-
...from Rome, who played Gaia: the only woman who was tough enough for Titus Pullo (and I won't spoil the details of how she got him or where their relationship goes). Sure, she's a little short, but comes across about as Amazonian as any woman I can think of in recent memory (in not-so-recent memory, how about Helen Mirren 30 years ago?), and I had to check IMDB before I knew she wasn't particularly tall. If you have questions as to how Robinson would come across as a fighter, just watch her in the gang fight scene one or two episodes from the end of the series. AND she has a distinctly Mediterranean or Spanish look to her, which fits WW's geographical origins. Anyway, if you haven't watched Rome, you may not be able to see the appeal just from still photos of her.

This is the criticism(sp) Singer got for casting too young in SR. TOO YOUNG. I want to see some maturity in these icons. I want to look in the faces of these heroes and see experience...that "been around the block" a few times confidence in their eyes. Battle tested, world weary,etc. Please, no more fresh faces straight from THE OC or latest Fox teen drama to play weighty parts.
-
He makes more greater movies, with more rock solid mythos, style, and action.
Singer is like a film school student with a lot of money, but half assed skills and brains. -
...I couldn't agree more. Singer just seems like a spoiled kid who gets to make movies (trust me, I lived with someone who worked on the first X-Men movie). I would also add that he has no taste or passion.
-
Kind of..just is it THE Martian Manhunter....I was told it is a number of 'turns' that happen, not just one member...to be honest, I know this is all moving ahead and has gone through various incarnations now - animated, mocap, live action, blend etc, but it amazes me that this is going to be pulled off..I do worry taht anyone going in with expectations of some huge, integalactic, epic superhero film are going to be disappointed. This looks more intimate, a scaled down super hero team up film..more about the league relationships and consequences of trust and betrayals within it than a huge external threat..though again, think it's safe to say it will be much mor 'epic' than X-men 1
-
...since they're going for the WB set. I can't wait for, like, a totally major battle scene and like, Wonder Woman has to answer a cell call and a text at once. That would be HOT. Can't wait for the Paris Hilton cameo too.

thx man
-
..do you not think the series will lose it's centre if it's balls to the wall action? Sandman is done with, not meant to eb a villain as it was, Green Goblin is done with, Venom is a completed storyline..names to keep an eye on (I have NEVER been wrong about this) Robert Knepper, Dylan Baker. Very early doors, I expect Raimi as producer not director.
-
These superheros were created as adults. And we kids LOOKED UP to them. That's the point. They weren't the girl next door. They were WAY out of our league but chose to help us. But making it about Indy Jr. and John McClane's daughter and lil' Darth and lil' Boba SUCKS. I want a hero for a change. Not Shia saving the day because my heroes can't get the job done.

I am begging you not to rush this thing. Please!! Think about this for a second....Justice League is a movie made for the fans. You might attract a few people here and there that are not into the comics...but, for the most part, you are making a movie out of characters that not EVERYONE may be familiar with. Sure, superman and batman, but after that? The only thing people know about Aquaman, the Green Lanterns, the Flash, Wonderwoman, and the Martian Manhunter are from the cartoons in the past or failed TV shows. Please wait for the current Batman/Superman projects to pan out. Then, put Batman and Superman together first before a Justice League movie. Not everyone knows all the characters from the J.L. but EVERYONE knows who Superman and Batman are. They are ICONIC!!!! Everyone will want to see a Batman/Superman movie, not just the fans. Then, when you've made a BIG draw out of that movie (with Bale and Routh IN them), create a Justice League movie, with Bale and Routh, and people will be more likely to see it because they have a familiarity to the Batman/Superman project. PLEASE for the first time ever keep some continuity! It worked for the animated Batman all the way to Justice League unlimited....it will work in real-life movies too. Please don't ruin such a cool idea for the fans!!!!!
-
Um, the Happy Feet guy is also "The Road Warrior" guy, which is pound for pound one of the greatest action films ever. And REAL action that holds up, not CGI crap.
But the actors strike is why they are rushing this. And rushing with an incomplete script has never made a good movie. -
What pathetic BS. Why don't you people get a clue.
-
He's already played a poor man's Harrison Ford character once. Why do it again? Just kidding. He was great in Slither!
-
Lemme start by sayin' that I wouldn't have minded seeing Bale and Routh in the JLA movie. Simply for the sake of "continuity." Hopefully, that establishes my bona fides. Now, on to my point.Anybody here ever read a comic book? Checked out the art work? Criticized or lauded the writing? The point is both facetious and serious. Of course we have.Now I ask you: is Miller's Batman the same as O'Neill's? How about Loeb's Superman when compared to, say, Byrne's? Different, right? Same characters, but slightly different interpretations?We've heard the incessant belly-aching about the JLA movie's Superman and Batman being played by actors other than Routh and Bale, but I ask you, is it so hard to look at this JLA movie as simply a different artist's interpretation of the DC universe.Much the same as we don't criticize that Turner's Superman doesn't look like Ross's, I don't think it's too big a stretch to see different actors in these roles, provided it's not a fiasco. I want to give these production (especially with Miller involved) as much trust and leeway as I can.And on the topic of Biel's age and the "WB"-ing of the cast -- first, she's the first one announced so I find the knee-jerk reaction a little suspect and, second, she'll be 26 when filming starts, not exactly "The OC" age.And just so not to miss anything -- I got ZERO problems with Ryan Reynolds as Flash (woo hoo, actually). He'll be 31 when filming starts and can certainly "play" younger, if necessary.I'd definitely go just a little older with Supes and Bats, though. Maybe mid-30s, to establish a sort of "gravitas" to their characters when compared to the others.Martian Manhunter, though, I'd probably go even older with -- 40ish?Just my 2 1/2 cents worth.
-
Biel NOT "announced" yet, if she's even going to be.
-
I agree that George Miller is the major element that will make or break this film.
-
I know what the twist is concerning "Manhunter", as far as what I've read is supposed to be true. If I read the same thing, then I believe we get to see giant robots fights intergalatic bad guys. To be honest, I was hoping for a movie that shows massive superhero fighting damage, you know, like what is in the funny books.Although, it could all be crap, and the movie is going to go in a different direction.

...action. Well if your idea of action is only fight scenes, then perhaps you believe Paul Greengrass should be directing the damn thing. As for me, I think the way the (Sea lion) chase scenes in Happy Feet were choreographed were pure kinetic poetry (and vicious too!). And the scene with those penguins sliding down the glacier (ahead of the avalanche) were rock solid too. How about the way the sequence where the pitbull chases the pig (in Babe: PITG) was staged? Brilliante! It was almost comic-booky yes? That is all.
-
me, and every other geek on here, depsite the haters.
-
This is a no-brainer. She has acting chops, the fight choreography /stunt experience from her years as Xena.
Wonder Woman has to be physically threatening. Just try to imagine Jessica B. or Monica Baccarin trying to take on a Darkseid or Grundy single-handed. It aint happening folks. Lawless could convey inner strength with just a look across a crowded room.
Scrawny, cute girls may work for tv, (Firefly, Buffy, Bionic woman...) but were talking about the mother of all freakin superheroines here. I say lets cut the B.S. and cast someone who looks like they can take a damn punch! -
Hey Abin Sur - YEAH YOU! 3 Batmans in 4 movies is your justification for having an alternate Batman in JLA! I'm sorry - did you actually see Batman Forever/Batman & Robin and how they killed that franchise?
If Warners/DC want to make this movie some kiddie krap - then put in on Kids WB. Don't cheat the mature fans because you're desperate for a summer super hero tent-pole that will sell action figures.
Look how much time, effort and energy went into Superman Returns and the studio thinks that was a bomb (I don't agree and think Brandon should play Supes in JLA). This movie, the should be made, is being rushed. No doubt about it.
And as for George Miller - he may be a good director - but nothing on his resume, especially nothing in the past 10 years, can convince me that he's the best director for this movie.
Smallville's good, but Superman it ain't. Superboy was a heap of super-shit. And go back and watch Lois and Clark. and try looking at me with a straight face and tell me that was good super hero storytelling.
This has Fantastic Four written all over it.

She doesn't look a thing like Wonder Woman. She's too skinny and would need bluer contacts. Wonder Woman has a rounder face.

Top choices:
A Lynda Carter CLONE
Jennifer Connely
Catherine Zeta Jones
Katherine McPhee looks like her but I've never seen her talk or act - just the pic.
Kate Winslet looks nothing like her but has some of the right qualities and could be a really interesting choice, provided she could get her hair to look right.
-
there i said , i know there will b folks who will start this ethnicity debate... but Wonder Woman is basically a Greek Goddess , so she should look, you know, Mediterranean. i mean voluptuous. stacked. full lips. dark eyes. i guess biel can look cute.. with the right make-up...and lighting...
oh hell with it, jessica biel is an averagely cute WASPy chick who can look good in the right clothes, but she aint got it in the body type for an Amazonian Princess. 2 skinny. no rear end.
...and absolutely no stage prescence.
the role of Wonder Woman requires an actress, not a model.
kate winslet, monica belucci, catherine zeta-jones, or callie thorne (from the old homicide show)...any of them... but jessica biel is the one choice ( for me anyway)of who NOT 2 cast as Wonder Woman. -
Unless Supes and Bats are VERY short!
-
Will that be Beverley Mitchell?
-
sure Smallville isn't superman. It's at least 8 years before he becomes superman. Do you not understand character development, in the comics, clark didn't become proactive in being a superhero till immeadiately before he became one, he didn't take a long time to decide like batman with planning etc. Tom Welling isn't Superman but he most definately is Clark Kent. Perfect post-crisis Clark Kent. But he could be Supes, he has the exact look and height, all he has to do is work on the voice.
-
She's kinda ripped, but WAY TOO SMALL FRAMED... IT'S WONDER WOMAN. TOUGHEST CHICK EVER!!!! Now Lilly would make a great body for Black Canary, but she isn't blonde.
-
The one where Superman is now a whiney baby?
-
I'm not sure about Routh, but the reason there's no chance of Chris Bale playing Batman in a JLA film is that Warners have no contract in place for him, but only for 3 Batman films (and he'd want too much anyway) and both himself and director Chris Nolan complained to Warners, as they want them to finish the 3 Batman films they're contracted to make, before starting on a JLA film in maybe 5 years time, but Warners are pushing on anyway, as they're very pleased with the JLA film's script and don't need any A list star actors for it.
-
or Jessica Alba, or anybody else that looks NOTHING like ANY version of WW? I might rather see China or Chyna or whatever that wrestler chick's name was. Or did she OD on crack???
-
Agree with Xiphos in approval of Doc's suggestion of Morena Baccarin for Dejah Thoris.
Morena is meat that has not been overexposed yet.
Meat that has been overexposed is not healthy for consumption. -
maybe Warners will chunk the bat-armor for this movie and go with the classic grey and black like in Dead End
-
I kinda hated the "with yellow" look. When they did the revamp and also took 15 years off the "playboy" it did wonders for the quality of the show.

are you trying to say the clark kent from smallville is a whiney baby? you'd have to watch all the episodes to say that which would say it's not true, considering this is the toughest take no shit clark kent there is next to golden age. second think for a second, smallville at the moment takes place years before he becomes superman, reading too much DC i think where people go 'i have powers, i shall save the world', life isn't that easy, it's been now 7 years and clark still hasn't decided to become a superhero, in the comics he decides right before he actually becomes one. I can't believe some people are this stupid to think people don't change over time, there is nothing in smallville to say that in 8 years he will not be superman. That would be like saying Bale wasn't Batman based on the flashback version because he wanted to kill someone. Character development dickhead.
-
FUCK!!!!!
Jessica "Batface" Biel as Wonder Woman. That would be like getting Jessica Simpson for Black Canary.
I always thought that Oley Sassone's Fantastic Four
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0109770/ was the absolute worst adaption of a comic book to a movie and would stay that way for all time.
I was wrong.
Bring on George "Razorback" Miller.
-
Not that butt-ugly Jessica Alba chick.

I always thought people that like Jessica Biel were..
by cotton mcknight
closet gays. I am not saying its impossible to think she is hot without being gay, but I do thing that if you have an irrational thing for her, you're gay. She has many masculine "tomboyish" qualities. Same thing with Scarlett Johannson.
-
...she's not terrible, but she doesn't have the screen charisma or acting talent to pull off such a major role. Just because someone starred in a Whedon show doesn't mean they are perfect for everything. Speaking of Whedon alum Carpenter I could at least live with, but her acting range aint exactly monumental either, at least from all evidence demonstrated thus far. Honestly though, we need someone statuesque (she is, after all, a damn amazon), and someone who has genuine presence and charisma, as one of the DC trinity she can't be someone who will disappear into the crowd of heroes or blend in, like Bats and Supes she has to be a strong enough presence to sell being a hero that even the other heroes look up to, someone who can sell the authority and dignity of that role, and just hiring someone who looks purty in the costume aint gonna do that.
-
Ivana Milicevic would be WW. She has the exotic looks and at 179cm (about 5'11) she has the height.
-
This is a Kirsten "Eliza Dushku gave me cooties" Dunst as Mary Jane Watson bad casting idea.
I mean what's next, Jessica Simpson as Black Canary???
Wait a minute...tight leather, big jugs...OH GEORGE!!!! -
The way to make this movie is to forget all this bullshit and let George Miller do whatever the hell he wants. I know as members of the nerd community it is difficult to let go of this baggage but holy jesus, you just had ten Christmases fall into your lap by having this guy not only direct a big movie, but direct your dream nerd movie. This is a guy who creates worlds, whether it's a MAD MAX world or the worlds of pigs and penguins. The guy is a genius AND an old school action master, I don't think there's anybody else who has both of those qualities and is still allowed to direct big budget movies today. Instead of saying so-and-so's eyebrows are too rounded to match the drawing on page 23 you should be saying HOLY SHIT, GEORGE GOD DAMN MILLER THE MASTER OF CINEMATIC CHASE SCENES is gonna do a movie with the magic running fast guy from my children's cartoon books!
In my opinion you should put all your action dolls in a pile and burn them in sacrifice to the movie gods for bringing you this gift.
And the best part is I bet he'll finally get to do MAD MAX 4 after this one. -
All I can say is... "WHAAAAAAT?!?!"
-
Especially after seeing her in "action" during the Blade Trinity fight scenes.From the looks of it, One would think that Biel didn't even consider to train before filming the hand to hand sequences. No wonder why Snipes tried to sue New Line/Goyer.
I would rather pick G4's AOTS co-host Olivia Mund,especially since she looks better in tights than Biel.(For those who actualy watch the show,would know what I'm talking about.)Casting beil as WW would be as bad as having Jennifer Gardner as Elektra..OOPS! -
Im sorry but it's still to soon!
I would be hyped about this if we where talking 5 years down the line, but rushing this through because of a possible strike and in the middle of Nolans and Singers runs on Batman and Superman, it just doesnt sit well.
And how much room will george have to flesh out this world when everything is being rushed?
Im sorry but I just dont see the need to fast track this for a tentpole release in 2009 -
there is one thing that would provide some comfort with the whole situation!
A statement from WB announcing that they are still going ahead with a sequel to Superman Returns with Routh and Singer. -
Yowza!
-
How is this film a good idea? Seriously, it will come out as the slightly down syndrome bastard lovechild of Bryan Singer's X-Men and FF. It doesn't matter who you cast in it, it will blow.
-
Remember that rumor about Whedon casting her. She's the hottest living thing on the planet. Would be fucking great. Ackles-as-krik great.
-
oh, it would be so worth it.
-
fit. and pretty...ugly!
-
Jesus, all you TOO SOONers out there - you guys do realize we're in the 21st century, right? The movie won't even be out until 2009, and you guys want to wait for Nolan to finish all 3 of his Batman movies? Listen, this movie will trounce the ever-loving shit out of any X-Men film...you're going to have THREE of the most recognizable superheroes in the WORLD on the screen, along with some big-time geek favorites. And some of you want to wait until 2014? I'll say it again: George Miller directing, Barrie Osborne producing...show me the bad.
-
She got cast very late and spent 2 months training. It was mostly for Archery, but I think she did fine for only 2 months time. Most people get 4 months prior to shooting. Since Blade she has only gotten stronger by training every damn day. It's as if she knew that if she flooded the gossip blogs with candid shots of her lifting weights, doing flips, and getting strong that she'd get this job. And it seems to have all worked. And I don't get the "She has no ass!" comments, Jessica has got a nice bubble now. Maybe the Mods should change the fucking picture already. Seriously, it's giving everyone the wrong impression about her physique. She's not that hot in the face, and I don't think she'd look too hot with black hair, but at least we dont have some 5'4 "Buffyverse" bitch who did a couple of taebo classes to do some stunts and people think she is the next Bruce Lee.
-
I'm not found of the american flag costume... It's so weird. Why would an amazon wear an american flag?
-
Jessica is hot as hell, I hope they give her a sexier outfit than has been used in the past. She was good in Blade Trinity, so I can see her pulling off the fighting/action sequences pretty well. And damn, is her ass not perfect!
-
obviously a WW who's hung up the spandex and now sits on her couch feeding herself nothing but lard.
-
I realize it will not happen, but just find the cover of Stuff Magazine October 2003 with Catherine Bell from JAG. Tell me the hair and body aren't right, and that she couldn't fill the cups. Maybe skinnier than Lynda Carter, but close enough. :-) http://www.mopublishing.com/stuff2003.htm then scroll down to the october cover. A lot closer than Biel. Bell's 39 now, and I'm sure she's still closer to the WW look than Biel.
-
I didn't watch much of JAG, but just remember Catherine Bell in her naval dress uniform, and think of Lynda Carter from the old series. With some glasses, Bell could even have the Diana look.
-
The things they can do with CGI...
-
Rachel Weizs.
-
If vern is WW- Let's have Warwick Davis as Batman. Fuck it- film a JLA populated entirely with "little people". You know that would rock.
-
Warrick Davis is a really nice guy. Not a big fan of the Ewoks, but Davis is a very fan-friendly guy. Of course, another choice for your little-people production of JLA would be Danny "Mickey(from Seinfeld) Woodburn. Also, a very talented, nice guy.
-
Faith from Buffy should have that role hands down!!!!!
-
Yeah, not too bad. But, I still think she'd be like Katherine McPhee and Shannon Elizabeth. Great choices for a top-of-the line, best in show Wonder Woman model at DragonCon, but not entirely right for a movie. McPhee's isn't even an actress that I know of. She's got a great singing voice, and she's definately a cup-filler. hehe
-
And I'm sure Warwick Davis could pull off Batman like Bale. I'm sure.
-
Thomas Jane
-
can Bale face the competition?
-
unless he's on his knees...heh-heh..
-
People have forgotten WHY these characters are so important to us.
-
heh. Seriously, I was talking about this in the office and the consesus was "Green Who?", and "JLA what?" and "Why the fuck are they putting Batman and Superman in this?" Why is this getting made? It smacks of overkill.
-
Billy Crystal as John Stewart/Green Lantern!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
I'm content enough with a good Batman series of movies, but if this is any good, so much the better. And you know why this is being made: spin-offs, spin-offs, and more spin-offs. At least I'm sure that is the hope. Plus what that dude SpideyK said: toys. With poseable arms. Poseable arms bring happiness and joy throughout the world.
-
I'm sure it'll never happen and I have no idea if Pearce would even be interested, but his was a name tossed around a whole lot by us geeks back when Batman: Year One and then later Batman Begins were in the works. Bale rules in the role, but if someone else had to do it, Pearce would be high on my list. Also, greekhammer mentioned Tom Jane above. Another good choice. And I'd wet my pants for days if Dushku signed on for Wonder Woman.
-
The character's outfit/backstory/powers/behavior/etc is so damn ridiculous that once you get anybody we've seen before playing Wonder Woman it'll be impossible to take her seriously. I mean, for fuck's sake, she inexplicably wears star-spangled undies, is an Amazon from some island populated solely by females, shouts out 'Great Hera!' whenever she's in danger and has a magic lasso that gets people to tell the truth. Wonder Woman is ridiculous. It takes the right balance of tone, and somebody who can completely inhabit the role (so we aren't pulled out of the film by how ridiculous it is) to pull of such a character. Biel is hot, but totally wrong. These guys need to be searching Mediterranean locations for women, not picking up an established actress.
-
looked at the tinyurl link - Biel is NOT in shape (yet) to play Wonder Woman. Look at her arms - she needs to be BUILT. Look at Beth Phoenix or Xena-era Lucy Lawless (who is too old now) - that's what we want.
-
Or since Priscilla, "Girl" Pearce, will need some boxes to stand on. Not sure how tall exactly, but I was standing next to him at a party for a sec and he was shorter than me, and I'm 5'6"! Great actor though, which of course is what counts. Still fun though.
Did anyone see that "Lynda Carter as Wonder Woman statue that just came out? All muscular, but in the sinewy/anorexic way. Just made her look gross, and old.
John C Reilly for Batman. You know it'd work! -
You didn't by chance get your information from ugo.com? That info was posted yesterday early morning...seemingly before your declaration on this thread. http://tinyurl.com/2u49e6
-
ta-da!
-
could also be Wonder Woman. She kicks some serious ass and has a Wonder Woman look. Don't know how her acting is, though.
-
I read the same stuff that was on UGO around two-three weeks ago from a link that was on Dark Horizons. I would try and go find it, but I don't have time. It also had a list of potential stars they wanted, one of which said Bruce Willis as Lex Luthor was top choice. I'm not sure if it is for real, but they give away what could be the ending and the major twist, but it could all be B.S.
-
I just came across it. I was trying to refute SpideyK's claims about being "in the know" since it seemed like this info was out there before he said it. Now that you said you saw this weeks ago, methinks SpideyK isn't. I guess I just have my doubts when someone comes along saying they know all this stuff about an upcoming movie. Especially after JettL93 and the Indy 4 fiasco.
-
This is possibly the BEST idea I've seen in the whole talkback!
-
isn't it? SpideyK's post has the same BS sound as JettL93's. And based on what you and Dum Guy have seen, I wouldn't believe SpideyK if he told me my hair was brown (which it is).
-
I would really like to see a JLA with all little people. In fact, I woul dliek the next film "trend" to be remakes...WITH LITTLE PEOPLE. I'm already envisioning a fantastic Godfather rendition. And just think about a little Rick and Louie walking off into the fog for a Casablanca remake.
-
That's what I'm skeptical of. And you bet your ass little people would be the ultimate JLA movie. You plop those undersized people in anything and you have instant classics. Imagine how much better Gone with the Wind could have been with little people? Or the Wizard of Oz? Well..maybe not the last one, that would be just plain silly.
-
Brooke Burke anyone? Anyone? Anyone? She could fill the cups, as well.
-
The Justice League is a monumental work to achieve and that is just talking about a decent one to make. Hollywood looks like it wants to shit on every thing, and I mean EVERY THING with favor-of-the-month actors instead of actors that actually fit the parts. Jessica Alba as Sue Storm any one? Do I even have to say how tortuous her acting was on my eyes and countless others? Of course not, every one in the whole world witnessed her acting prowess and got to see her in bra and panties; which was all that was really needed from her anyways. Really? What else does she offer? Besides yum yum tatas and a sweet ass, nothing! Biel is the same thing and nothing more. Yes, she has a better body but the acting is pretty much the same thing. I can’t even believe Hollywood wants to go this way with a project like Justice League. This movie could be huge if-again- done right! But by the track record that Hollywood has its going to be as some one put it, a giant shitfest with more pissed off fans. Transformers made money, every one knew it was and there is no denying it would, but was the movie faithful to the source material and to the fans? HELL NO! Was Transformers a good movie? Not really but because of the loyal following it made the movie what it is. Movies like Transformers and Justice League SHOULD be made a la PIXAR. Look at the track record they have had. Every movie was a visual gem and a story that was enjoyable for all. Look at Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children, that blew me away. But in the end its really up to Hollywood as to what they want us to see and then vomit right after watching it. I have a really bad feeling about this.
-
One look at her and you'll see what I see. The right look, build, voice, acting chops, and height. She's just as tall as sam Waterston.
