LOGAN’S RUN Director: I Want MAD MEN’s Christina Hendricks As My Big-Screen WONDER WOMAN!!
“I would say that Wonder Woman is probably something that, to me, would be not just a satisfaction, but almost a [catharsis], and I was born to make it,” Danish filmmmaker Nicolas Winding Refn (“Bronson,” “Valhalla Rising,” “Drive”) told the BBC last year, and now he says his “Drive” star Christina Hendricks is his choice for Amazon warrior.
Mind you, Warner Bros. hasn’t yet hired him to put DC Comics’ most famous superheroine on the big screen, but Hendricks has been a fan of the Themysceran princess since she was kid wearing Wonder Woman underoos.
Refn has a lot on his plate, including a remake of Warner Bros.’ “Logan’s Run” (starring “Drive” star Ryan Gosling) in preproduction.
At 5’8” Hendricks is tall enough for the role, but she also turned 36 in May. So “Logan’s Run” will have to make Warners plenty of money if they’ll consider a female lead who’s pushing 40.
From a 2005 interview with Joss Whedon, who cast Hendricks in a recurring role in his “Firefly” TV spaceship show, and who at the time was writing and planned to direct his own “Wonder Woman” movie:
Q: You’ve also talked about [Wonder Woman] being very young. Are you thinking college-age? Teen-ager?WHEDON: I’d say that’s a pretty flexible thing because it’s her first time setting foot in the world of men. But that doesn’t necessarily mean she has to be a teen-ager. So, yes, they are thinking of a young woman. They’re thinking, I expect, of something franchise-able.

Or should I say *those*.....

Sounds like a good Wonder Woman pitch anyways.
-
She'd be fantastic. And fuck the idea that 'pushing forty' is old -- it's not too old for hollywood leading men, why is it too old for leading women? Have any of these people seen Diane Lane, Marissa Tomei, Helen Fucking Mirren? I'd put Hendricks in that category -- aging like wine. And yes, Vahalla Rising is good -- sort of like Conan the Barbarian directed by Terrence Mallick.

Can act? HAHAHAHAHA Please!
-
It's a fucking masterpiece.
-
I don't think any Wonder Woman movie could be taken seriously unless they did a major overhaul of the character. How long before we get another Batman and Robin?
-
Yes, Hendricks has spunk (as evidenced in her turn in Firefly) and (duh) a rather large rack, but she's not Wonder Woman. I'm not a comic book guy, but my understanding is that WW is an Amazonian, which means she's tall. Hendricks is only 5'7" so unless you're going to put all of the men in ditches, put her in serious stiletto heels (which makes fight scenes or scenes near subway grates tricky), or use CG ala LOTR, she's all wrong for it. I have a feeling the director is simply enamored of Hendricks' bosoms and is trying to leverage that into stuffing her into a bullet bra. I'd rather see an actress that fits the role better, myself.
-
I'd still slay her with my meat club, though.
-
Very apt description of Valhalla Rising.
-
is a interesting choice. But....she seems a bit to voluptuous for the role and not really in the warrior princess she needs to be.

Since when is 36 pushing 40, I thought it was still considered mid-30's
by donkingkong
Granted by the time they make they thing if they set the wheels in motion now, would have her at around 38 (ok pushing 40). Even then Angelina Jolie is around the same age and nobody I know would suggest she's too old. I like the choice of Hendricks and I think if she takes care of herself can be a franchise WW well into her 40's. She's super sexy.
-
(whoever the hell she is) is 5'5" tall. She might make a great Wonder Woman if they had her sit on a midget's shoulders (like Austin Power on Mini Me), but otherwise she's all wrong. Lord, the guys on this site seem to love silicone more than celluloid.
-
just want to add that

It's called "Wonder Woman", not "Wonder Bra". Sick of all these 20-somethings playing iconic heroes - Superman looks more like a Patrick Warburton than a Henry Cavill, for chrissake.
-
She's frickin' gorgeous.

I always got a kick out of the S&M Femdom subtext of Wonder Woman
by Ingeld
Amazon lady in skimpy costume and high heels, tying people up and forcing them to submit. Thank God this Amazon didn't cut off her breast--the actual meaning of the world amazon.
-
She is Amazonian and tall. How is 5"8 tall enough? She should be like 6" Christina Hendricks is one of the sexiest women on the planet...but not a good Wonder Woman.
-
Think back to when Reeve first played Superman, and nobody knew who he was, and how well, as a result, he seemed to become Superman. Keaton and Bale both played Batman well enough, but when I see either one of them as Batman, I see them. When I see Reeve as Superman, I see Superman. Wonder Woman needs to be an unknown. No offense to anyone's particular baitin' material.
-
who is now on V. grow her hair back and she's your wonder woman!
-
Are required for Wonder Woman, and Christina Hendricks, while a very sex woman, does not have either of these.
-
or TV for that matter.
-
Lucy Lawless, But she is to old for the studios now and it will never happen.
-
Christina Hendricks for WONDER WOMAN!!!!She'll put the 'wonder' back in the bra! Funny how I have no objection to this what-so-ever!
-
...acting ability and charisma should be, and they are qualities Ms Hendricks has in spades. She is one of the few television actors at present who I think could command the silver screen. She gets my vote.

Wonder woman is one of those properties where the actress isn't as important
by V'Shael
as getting the story right. They really really need to get an amazing script for the movie, or it's all a pointless fucking exercise in how to lose money and bury a franchise.

Now THAT'S Great Casting! As Great As The Long Hoped For (Though Sadly, Denied) Casting Of Jon Hamm As Superman!
by NeonFrisbee
Sadly, I don't think anyone in Hollywood is so much interested in quality and/or perfect casting as they are in turning something out that's *just good enough* to make a bunch of money for a week or two and then quietly disappear before the next wave of crap they shove down our throats appears.

'nuff said!

Hendricks should play Queen Medusa in the Inhumans movie!
by Thanos0145
Wonder Woman needs to be athletic and at least 5'10 - 6' ft. I doubt with Green Lantern bombing at the box office that we'll see a DC comics movie that isn't Batman in the future.
-
And I'm talking as a dude who hates the waify thin look. There are pictures of her in a one-piece bathing suit where she's going beyond "real woman" proportions and slowly entering Anna Nicole Smith territory if she's not careful. No woman should starve herself to the point of unhealthiness, but by the same token, no woman should let herself go if she still wants to retain her hotness.
-
because Wonder Woman needs a strong mother who pushes her out of the nest, and they need to fight for supremacy. Guys are just poker chips to women like these; trust me on this one, I'm Ukrainian, and all Ukrainian women are like that.
-
...would challenge the costume. I think she'd look quite top heavy, and I shudder to think of her running with her sisters constantly blocking her sight. Doesn't work for me.

VANITY FAIR COVER. Christina is insanely HOT... regardless of the role.
by Mennen

Ridiculously bad casting. In a 'costume' she'd look like a beluga whale.

Call me an old fart, but I think Wonder Woman should look like WOMAN, and not a young cupcake.
by Yotz Von Frelnik
Most every rendering of Wonder Woman I've seen, from comic art to Superfriends/Justice League animation, she possesses a "maturity" about her. A "toughness", if that doesn't sound too unsexy a term to apply to a female. When one thinks "Amazon Princess" doesn't it conjure a husky, muscular form with a more mature bearing? So 30's to mid-40's? Eff it! Why not. I won't trash the aborted TV series or it's lead actress, but she had the look I'm not fond of: youthful, cute and darling. Wonder Woman needs to look like she's got steel in her eyes, and the sense of years behind them to back it all up.
-
There is nothing wrong with Adrienne Pa(hardlastnametospell). This is not a story, he's not making the movie. Maybe some DC stories can't adapt to a decent film franchise. I'm looking at you Green Lantern...
-
June 20, 2011, 5:09 p.m. CST
She's not fat but to put her in tights wouldn't work.
by alienindisguise
and her tits are gigantic and would just detract from the character.
-
When talking with Angel's future sire Darla, she pointed to Liam (future Angelus and Angel) and said something to the effect of "his lies sound better in the moonlight." I was pleasantly surprised to hear that the chick all the guys were going gaga over was the same one from that episode. Anyway, good for her if this works out, although imo no one started talking about a wonder woman movie until Charisma Carpenter talked about playing her geez, like almost a decade now? I believe it was like 2003 give or take. Maybe we'll see the Adrianne (spl?) Palicki version as an extra on a dc animated release someday.

BOUGHT BRONSON AT A BLOCKBUSTER GOING OUT OF BUSINESS, HAVEN'T WATCHED THE WHOLE THING YET
by Meadowe
Keep getting busy so I haven't gotten past the first few minutes, but since this site thinks this guy name dropping Christina hendricks is newsworth, and also Tom Hardy is in Bronson, I may try to pop it in this weekend.
-
I love her on Mad Men, but I just can't picture her in this role. I want Natassia Malthe. Am I the only person on this site who knows of this actress?
-
Since they added commercials to the network, there are whole segments of them doing nothing but walking around in fields for five minutes.
-
With accurate costume.
-
I meant of couse she'll be pushing 40 by the time "Logan's Run" is finished and the "WW" script is written to Warners and Silver Pictures' satisfaction.
-
She can go to the gym. Look at Bale. He. gains muscle loses muscle, that's what actors do. Plus they can just use fancy camera tricks to make her look taller. And if you guys don't know this when a woman loses weight her brewers get smaller. I don't see the problem. You guys are just being cynical assholes like Stan in South Park.
-
That would so fucking rule.
-
I'm not suggesting Megan Fox in any way - Simply making a point: If Christina is more "MILF" rather than "super hot for a 16 year old boy" that will greatly effect casting. KIDS ARE GOING TO THIS. Not adults... not first anyway.The studio knows the audience they're talking to is YOUNG.
-
Not that she needs to play Wonder Woman or anything, but I wouldn't mind seeing her in more stuff.
-
Face-wise, at least. I think she's short, though. Not that Hendrix is statuesque or anything, but I think Fox is shorter. And OF COURSE Lucy Lawless IS Wonder Woman. Also in great shape, also aging like fine wine. And we all know she can kick major ass.
-
Also would be pretty awesome. Not tall, although I think her neck is like three feet long. Joss wanted to use her for his WW, I thought. I remember something from the DVDs, some offhand mention. I think she would be killer.
-
'nuff said.

If they don't let Refn do this it's a HUGE mistake on WB part
by IndustryKiller!
Not just because he's a brilliant director and he has a passion that grand for the film, although that's enough by the standards of anyone with a brain. But because he actually might have a wild enough imagination and technical expertise to make a character that has heretofore been unfilmable and is wasting away not making the studio any money actually work on screen. There are very very few people who can make that happen, it's by no means an easy adaptation. The WB has little to lose by taking that chance, if they are so inclined to do it at all.
-
Best of the DC cartoons.
-
She was George Miller's choice, she's my choice, and she's also my stomach banana's choice.
-
shame she's too short. And too old. And too italian.
-
Oh yeah, definitely get her to a gym, get her on a diet, and get her a personal trainer. She was always on the buxom side (like Marilyn Monroe), but it looks like she's just starting to get fat. Btw, I prefer skinny girls, but I always pictured WW being a little bigger, womanly, curvy; but she should be curvy sexy, not fat. I think Beyonce has a great sexy, WW style body. I'm not suggesting that she's right for WW, but she's got a smoking hot body that seems WWish to me.
-
the Seeker would be ideal for Wondy. She has Lynda Carter's serene beauty and sweet compassion, and she has the physicality that a contemporary WW demands. I think this director is just having a wank fantasy. CH might make a great Giganta, though...
-
Brubaker and Cooke's version of Catwoman.
-
She's gigantic and flabby
-
So why not a unknown foreigner who just looks and sounds like her. That would be the best thing they could do.Then all we would see is wonder woman, and not .... insert actress here.
-
This is worse than I anticipated and I'm not talking about hypothetical casting choices. And really, its not like we're reeeally going to get a respectable Wonder Woman movie anyways. Just some T&A, some 'splosions, and more T&A. Not that that's not what you boys are looking for, right? ;)
-
There you go, done.
-
not the Hellenes.
-
oh wait..that was the RIP OFF. So I guess they can still do a remake. lmao.
-
Green Lantern killed the possibility of WB doing ANY superhero movie that doesn't feature Batman or (maybe) Superman.
-
When she show up fo' night school, teacher mark her absent. SNAP!
-
Did you forget how WW came to life in the first place?
-
The only time she's ever smelled a hot meal was when a rich dude farted by her.
-
Saw her in a black swimsuit a few weeks ago,looked like Hattie Jacques ffs.
-
1. she really isnt all that interesting. seriously. power bracelets? a golden lasso? A fucking tiara?? Zzzz. 2. her short shorts/leotard costume cant work in a PC world. wouldnt even look right. Damned if you do it, damned if you dont. 3. studios like to cast young malnourished waifs, WW is an amazon goddess. Anything less than that is FAIL. 4. in fact the ONLY way to make this movie is as a boy's fantasy style comedy that plays all that shit up, and have a PC women's group against her costume IN the movie. Fuck it, set it IN the 80s. Go all out. Big hair, bad music, leotards and neon socks.
-
Pure female..no fucking filler. Perfect for the role. though I don't think the WW character can carry a movie.
-
that during kinky boom boom time I blindfold her with a string of dental floss.
-
June 20, 2011, 6:41 p.m. CST
"Valhalla Rising" is indeed a brilliant movie, but there's only one working director who could make a WW movie work.
by WriteForTheEdit
And that man is James Cameron. And I'm pretty sure he'll never do it. So, that's that. And if you don't want to have hours and hours of sex with Christina Hendricks, that's good. Gives the rest of us a slightly better chance of doing so.
-
I've sold my soul to Jesus only on the condition that he let me spend Eternity with Mrs. Hendricks' soft, round butt pushed firmly into my face. He also promised that it would taste like pudding.

She IS Wonder Woman, but as others have said , this needs to be written/produced in the right way or it'll fail hard.

It's not Wonder Co-ed. It's Wonder WOMAN. She'd be great. I'm sick of all these hack 23-year old "actresses" getting lead roles. Has it occurred to anyone yet that the top 5 grossing films of the year so far have female leads who are all 30+...

by MajorFrontbum
It's good enough for you, but not for me thanks.

Like who is this movie really going to be aimed at? Obviously it could only be a lightweight fluff stupid piece of shit, they're just too boxed in and WAY too conventional to do something novel or interesting with it, so it'll just be a jumbled stupid dumbass mess that won't know where it belongs and exist in an ugly stinking gaseous sludge mish-mash of genres because it won't have a goal or point or any reason to exist besides the wrong ones. Like what kind of movie are you REALLY going to make? What is she REALLY going to fucking do? Of course she can't wear a practical armored suit or think with her brain, because it's VERY necessary she wear a skimpy sexy suit for.. the male demographic? The target audience who can look at any sort of sick nasty hot graphic pornography on the internet or even on their fucking PHONES? Oh sure OF COURSE I FORGOT TEEN BOYS LOVE TO SPEND $10 TO GO LOOK AT A CHICK WEARING A SHINY PLASTIC UGLY RED BIKINI INSTEAD OF BEATING OFF IN FRONT OF THEIR COMPUTER TO ANY FUCKING SICK TWISTED SHIT THEIR FANGEEK DEMENTED MIND CAN COME UP WITH FUCK of course OF COURSE HOW COULD I NOT SEE THIS FUCKING BOLD PLAY MR DANISH FILMMAKER NOTHING THIS WORLD NEEDS MORE THAN MORE FUCKING WIERDO SICK DANISH FILMS fuck shit you're right YOU'RE FUCKING right what a GREAT idea how COULD this go wrong? No hey that's cool it COULD be pulled off with a great villian, 'ala Green Lantern or Garfield: The Movie, maybe this project really could be a power-move for women everywhere. Oh, second the Megan Fox suggestion, I think a white trash "Wonder Woman" would be a very positive role-model and show young impressionable girls the most effective way to act like sluts, this could possibly be a film that actually affects society and how we all get along together as human beings.

The Actress that play's his HOT sister in (of course) Chuck. Dark hair, awesome blue eyes, a little bit of linda Carter about her too. Heck, even Katy Perry would be sweet. Although Catwoman would've been better for her.

The last script I read hasn't made things much better. I get that Joel's passionate about it, but this is going to be a seriously difficult product to deliver.
-
...pass <P> look, a wonder woman movie isn't hard to do. get mike bay, give him a pound of coke, let him go to greece and find the tallest, hottest chick he can. license to print money....granted.
-
Yeah...shes pushing 40. But if she can continue to look like that,who cares? Look how old RDJ was and how screwed up his career was when he took on Iron Man...and now he's the cornerstone of The Avengers franchise. The WB needs to make hiring talented actors a priority,instead of just casting no-name 18 year olds who look nothing like the character. Thats why people freaked the freak out about The Justice League movie...nobody wanted to see Armie Hammer as a pretty-boy 12 year old Batman. Grow some balls DC-and recast Green Lantern while you're at it.
-
by our standards, old men can still be sexy, but old women are just nasty. I mean damn, we can list endless talented old guys that still have "sex appeal" but id be hard pressed to fine many talented old women who do. it is just the nature of the beast. Once a woman is over the 35ish look, she is no longer sexy by American standards, while men can be 70 and still rock it. what are you gonna do?
-
No one under 6 foot should be playing an amazon, full stop. Add to that Hendticks is too out of shape these days - and at her age getting back into top physical shape and maintaining it long term is an ever increasing battle - as well as already being on the cusp of being too old to play Wonder Woman, even more so if you are considering launching a franchise, and not just making a single film. Plus, I know fanboys love her because she was on Firefly a couple of times, and because she has red hair and big tits, but she's just not all that good of an actress. Not terrible or anything, but definitely limited in range and not nearly as talented as drooling fanboys seem to want to believe.
-
...she can sit on my face anyday...

if he can slim his pudgy ass down for the Green Hornet role, it shouldn't be a problem for her to tone up and put some muscle on.

hm sounds suspiciously like something a danish person would say
-
So fine, send her to a gym. She still doesn't have the WW "steely" look to her. Of course the problem is that few young actresses possess the requisite physical and personal attributes of WW. Lynda Carter was perfect because she was in great shape, she was tall, and she had a ferocity in her eyes and face. Lawless would be the best bet, and anyone doubting it should watch Spartacus. She's a little older but holy crap, she is in FANTASTIC shape. I also think Gina Carano is a good one to consider, if we ever get to see her chops in Haywire.
-
No movie in development, no script in progress, this guy isn't signed onto to anything or in talks with anyone. This is just a guy who's saying "hey, wouldn't it be neat if..." I can't believe a non-story like this is getting so many talkback posts, when we have a real story, Pixar is going to be releasing a movie in 2013! A movie everyone! From Pixar! Crazy!
-
...not sure he should be wasted on WW....unless it is a period piece.
-
...Pitty...
-
Nadia Bjorlin should be wonder woman. Christina Hendricks should be Melisandre of Asshai in Game of Thrones season 2
-
Wonder Woman? Not so much. And it would be a crime to gye her hair black!
-
No, she's a woman. A real, curvaceous Golden Age screen-goddess of a woman. You're so used to seeing emaciated 'head-on-a-stick' lollipop ladies that you've forgotten what voluptuous means...
-
Spot on casting, Ser!
-
The TV show crashed & burned before it even began so who is gonna take the considerably larger gamble on a motion picture? Besides the comic book movie craze will be be on it's deathbed by the time this thing would be finished & then it will be time for the rise of the new golden age of sci-fi cinema approximately predicted to span from 2013 - 2025.
-
She would not be right for the part. Wonder Woman needs to be athletic. I can see Hendricks playing Diana's mother though.
-
It's the off season...those extra 20# will be gone in no time. I'd be more than happy to lock her in my basement for a month...lots of sweating and a strict protein diet...much more effective than Jenny Fucking Craig.
-
from Legend of the Seeker would be the perfect Wonder Woman.

...to anyone who can get me a picture of Christina Hendricks wearing Wonder Woman underoos.
-
I don't get the appeal. She's a little to 'king sized' for my taste. We should not pretend that any Wonder Woman movie will make sense, or have any semblance of a plot - let's face it, Wonder Woman, has and always will be just a teenagers wet dream. So with that in mind it seems obvious Wonder Woman should be made by Michael Bay. Wonder Woman should be a cast from one the Victorias Secret models.
-
just call firefly a "tv spaceship show"? O_O

And truthfully I think she is very wrong for the role... I'll be damned if it wouldn't be interesting to watch though!

Katy Perry As A Campy / Retro / Colorful / Pop Art 60s Wonder Woman
by NeonFrisbee
Lots of her being tied up and tying other people up. Lots of double entendre (especially of the sappic variety). Think Xena meets Mad Men + XMen: First Class.
-
...just like when guys get cast as superheros and bulk up and get trim for the roles, Hendricks would do the same to play Wonder Woman. She' d still be curvy, but, a lot more athletic than Joan Holloway. She's stated before in interviews that she wants to get action roles like Jolie. Ones where she has to train for months in advance. She's curvy now, because the character she plays on her TV show is supposed to be.

I'd be willing to PAY the twits at Hollywood to come have a look at my bookshelves. Just a couple of shelves alone should yield two dozen or more ideas for ORIGINAL feature films. But, no, let's just do yet still another remake instead because that's so very clever. Feh.
-
The material is probably too campy to sustain a modern movie, a 3 minute music video is enough just like it was with Candyland. Just make a corny Katy Perry video with her as WonderWoman.

can't wait for that one!

She should have played Marilyn instead of Michelle Williams

Not that I saw MW's version but come on, who is more like MM?

"My Week with Marilyn": Branagh as Olivier... Dougray Scott as Arthur Miller?? What drugs are they on?

the starwolf, there's room for another LOGAN'S RUN movie ebcause the original is quite a big departure from the book it's based on.

He's making the rounds with every comic book franchise out there. I'm not into critiquing actresses' physicality for this role, it's fairly superficial and subjective. But even so, I will say something I never thought would be stated by me: Hendricks' yams are too big for an action role. Wow, I can't believe I just wrote that sentence. Get an Olympic volleyball player. Or invent a time machine and bring back Rita Hayworth.

lasso of truth says: FAT.

Is that Christina GAINED twenty pounds to play the role of an absurdly curvy secretary in the 1950's. She has to maintain that weight for her TV show, but her natural size is much smaller. Think of her role on Firefly. Saying she's too heavy right now, is like saying Chris Hemsworth was too small to play Thor.

I'm just gonna throw this out there: Nathan Fillion for WW.

Geeks will be outraged and yet grudgingly placated at the same time.

You're correct. If people are too brain dead to see that Hamm is perfect for Supes(an actor with the perfect look, authority, and acting chops) simply because he's in his forties, then we should never hope to see a woman over 30 playing WW.

Wonder Woman: Male Members Rising

Love her and she was COMPLETELY on my radar for this type of role. 36 means shit anymore. 36 is like 26 nowadays.
-
WW should have some playful sass. Plus ass.
-
Seriously. As long as she's in shape and gives an awesome performance, nobody will give 2 sh*ts what her age is. I hate stupid comments like that. Wonder Woman should look mature. She's an Amazonian Princess who's had to fight her way to the top. She shouldn't look like she's from the CW Casting Couch. That's idiotic. You'd LOSE money if you cast Wonder Woman in such a cynical way. She's Wonder WOMAN; not wonder tween!!
-
All she'd have to do is say, "Tell me the truth and I'll show you these!"

Herc, and for the last time, Bridget Regan is the only choice for WW

HA HA HA. Are you f-ing retarded?
-
http://nitro5737.blogspot.com/ Didn't she used to be a model in Italy?
-
That is all.

Has a particular look to her and has already proven herself talented. She's like a super hot woman with Big Ta Tas.

I'd watch that.

I think Hendricks is gorgeous, but I don't think she is quite the best WW. Bridget Regan from Legend of the Seeker is the best WW by far.

Anyone who has ever doubted a huge GAY presence on this board should just look at some of these talk backs:

Yes, I am saying if you don't like Christina Hendricks as Wonder Woman, YOU ARE GAYER THAN SULU.
-
Yes. I know who she is. She is a beautiful woman, but I don't know if she would be right for WW. I thought she was hot as Typhoid Mary in DareDevil.
-
she owes it to humanity. she was born to do that.

This may be the only chance WW has at being a GREAT FILM. I shall make an offering to Hera...

...Titty fuck city, i kid you not!!! She goes for nerds and married one, i like her...

..or just running around the house ?
-
Oh it got canned did it.. Fucking idiots Why are they even wasting their time entertaining the idea of making this? The only way they could ever pull this off if first of all they ditch the big tits and the goofy outfit and strip the iconography that goes with it... It's so tacky even to the point where a porn film has more class. I don't get it .. i really dont.
-
...is Alexandra Daddario. I love me some Christina Hendricks, but Daddario just looks so much the part, and if you've only seen her in Percy Jackson, you probably didn't realize she's hiding some serious firepower under that sweater. Plus, she's been quoted saying she would love to play the role.
-
I didn't know who she was, but looked her up and she's definitely really pretty and I could see her wearing the costume. She seems a little young to me, though. More like Wonder Girl than Wonder Woman. But, yeah, purely on looks alone (since I've never seen her act) I'd support that casting.
-
...But good Goddamn, that's a whole-lotta-great-big-fuckin'-ass in those swimsuit shots.... Fuckit, I say make Wonder Woman a BBW. Couldn't be any worse than 75% of the drivel they're making now, anyways....But the 'Invisible Jet' is gonna have to be changed to a C-5A Galaxy due to 'enhanced lifting requirements'....

Could you please direct us to a web address where we can view pictures of the super models you are in relationships with. Thank you in advance.

She's an Amazon, not a Hooters girl!

She is just too voluptuous and curvy for Wonder Woman. I think WW needs to be more lithe and athletic. Christina definitely needs a vehicle to show off her body though. I love her curves and awesome real big boobs. There has got to be something for her. Maybe "Amazon Woman from Mars"
