You can't turn me purple because I choose not to be! And she's too old now. The producers have said they want someone in their early to mid 20's. And the way Warner Bros is handling their current projects I'd say the next Wonder Woman is probably still in High School.

Just as long as they don't go the babysnatching route of "Brooke Allison Adams as Black Cat" for Wonder Woman.

Well, look at it this way: Elvis's "A Little Less Conversation" had to be withdrawn in the UK last year because it was so successful and wouldn't allow any other artists a shot at the number one spot, like Gareth Gates for instance. Who, you ask? Exactly!

And at least this thread is getting some participation from different people. That other one started out good but then it seemed like rayray was starting to talk himself. Sadly, I know how that is. Maybe I shouldn't have started a Watchmen thread that begins with "Forget JLA".

Listen Ray, nothing personal, I just think threads get to be too cumbersome when they get that long. Plus they are then too daunting to read for a newcomer to the conversation. I think threads are best kept shorter.

By the way, are you Ray Ortiz by any chance? If you are, I did recieve your email and I tried to email you back but AOL wouldn't let my email through.

Here we go.

First, I would say that Carrie Ann Moss would have been perfect 10 years ago. She has the eyes and regal bearing. Sadly, she's a tad too old now. Jennifer Connelly is also too old and I find her too petite and not quite right anyways. Julianna Marguiles would have been a top choice of mine if she were younger as well.

My list, in descending order:

6. Jordan Bayne- she looks the part in the face enough. But I don't know what her body is like, having not seen her in anything. She may not have the body or the presence.

5. Rena Sofer- TV Actress. She looks the part, I think she has a good enough body and is tall enough. However, her acting ability and screen presence I don't know about having not seen her in anything. She may be older than she looks too. Here's a link to a pic:
http://www.brawnylads.com/hotties/0710b2.jpg


4. Claire Forlani- Beautiful face and eyes, good acting skills. Body style may or may not be right, I can't recall her showing it off in what I've seen her in. She maybe too short and too old as well, I'm not sure.

3. Monica Bellucci- she is breathtaking and could sure be Greek. The body is there as well. She may be too sexual and or too old. Thom says she was great in Tears of the Sun so I am going to rent it just to see her in it.

2. Catherine Zeta Jones- she's gorgeous and has the body and the skills. She also has the grace and regal presence. I am not sure why you guys suddenly think of her as less sexy because she's had children but I think her body is absolutely stunning. She may be too old now, esp with sequels in mind though.

1. Unknown- An unknown is my number one choice. A young woman who has the face, the body, the skills and the presence and is about 20-25. I saw a young woman in a bride magazine a while back that looked a whole lot like young Lynda Carter. I should do a manip of her so you guys can see. Of course I don't even know if she is an actress and it's hard to see bodies under wedding gowns.

Just wondering, Goddess, have you ever considered Tsianina Joelson? She has the face, the hair, definetely the body. She even played an amazon on Xena. I think the only problem would be her height, which is easy enough to fix in Stalone and Cruise movies, so not too much of a problem. She's even a great actress, as seen in "Bring it On". As far as her age, she just turned 28, but looks about 21. Here is her link:

Hey, just wanted everyone to know that my pic is now up on the DCG. I wasn't really sure which thread to post this news on, but this one seemed appropriate, cause this is my interpretation of what Diana should look like, and I hope that the woman who is cast conveys this image.

Comments are always appreciated!

The job probably should go to an unknown as the other actress that looks like Diana right now is CATHERINE ZETA-JONES and she is looking more and more matronly every month. She's on the other side of 30 already (still with killer looks) but she will be too old for the role by the time this flick gets made.

Rayray, if you're looking for comments on your pictures, you'll find them in the DCG forum under the threads entitled "UIR" (Update in Review) followed by the date of that picture, and also by some strange comment. People don't really comment on art in other forums even if the picture is of the forum's very subject matter.

That's what I've said. She's looking more like Dylan's mum than Wonder Woman. I suppose she could be Wonder mum, but that would just be silly.

Wonder Woman is tall, sexy, brunette, and she can kick ass,so why not an actress who is the same Famke Janssen (GoldenEye)! I know it is hard to picture her as Diana after Jean Grey, but Jean and Diana are similar in that they both strive for peace and equalitiy between all people. If you have seen her movies you know that she is a true amazon, her characters have always been women standing up for themselves and fighting for what the believe in, Famke does great stunt work, she has played an agent twice before (Diana Prince reference), and she looks the part.

And that is where you hit a snag, my friend! Famke Janssen is indeed very beautiful, and of course we all can see she's tall with a good build, and she's a KICK ASS Jean Grey, but seriously! She does not look like Wonder Woman. It's just that simple, really...

Not to mention that Famke is pretty much 40 (that's right, Forty) years old! Actually, she's probably older than that, as she was already in her 30s when 007 GOLDENEYE came out in 1995 (she was Xena Onnatopp) and now it's almost 10 years later. She is absolutely gorgeous for a middle-aged woman, but no way could she play Wonder Woman. Sorry.

Steve Trevor
08-09-2003, 08:27 AM
Famke is in her thrities thank you very much and she would make an awsome Wonder Woman!

FireStormTrooper
08-09-2003, 11:02 AM
from imdb.com
Famke Janssen
Date of birth (location):
5 November 1965
Amsterdam, Noord-Holland, Netherlands

You're right, as of right now Famke Janssen is a little more than 37 years and 9 months old. She's 37.75 years old. Not old by most standards but far too old to be the centerpiece for a WW franchise. Diana should look like she's in her early 20s. Famke, beautiful though she is, looks like a woman in her mid-to-late 30s. She's just not right. And she is TOO OLD.

WC
08-09-2003, 04:33 PM
I wonder how Ashley Judd might do in the role of Wonder Woman? That Kingdom Come action figure of WW bears some resemblance to the actress. Plus Ashley looks a bit like these actresses from the 1940s and 50s and I think even played Norma Jean Baker once. Maybe she could work.

------------------
Meoww! Send in the clowns!

WonderWomanGoddess
08-10-2003, 01:11 PM
Well Judd is already in her 30's and so not viable for sequels. Also, something about her face...doesn't say Wonder Woman to me.

But I did think about her for the Cheetah, esp for the Barbara Minerva side.

And Rayray I did check out that girl, the one with the odd name that was on Xena. She just doesn't do it for me, tho she's certianly not the worst suggestion I have seen.

Tsianina Joelson! I think she's physically perfect for the role of Wonder Woman. Her face doesn't match Wonder Woman's look as much as some of the other actresses mentioned, but her overall "amazon appearance" beats everybody else IMO.

WonderWomanGoddess
08-10-2003, 02:18 PM
But see, the face is the most important part to me. Plus I haven't seen her in anything and so I don't know anything about her screen presence.

Also, although her body is awesome, and she looks just the right amount of buff, yet still feminine for WW, she seems almost petite to me. It's hard to tell from pics alone (and not very good ones) but is she a rather small person?

Any of you who saw her on Xena remember how big she was? Something about her in these pics seems short and also like her bones are on the tiny side. Small wrist bones, shoulders, etc.

I'm still looking for the perfect WW candidate. I wish I was the casting director...

What about KRISTEN LOKEN, the T-X from TERMINATOR 3? She's 22 years old, tall (5'9" - 5'10"), toned and beautiful. She has a screen presence even when sharing screentime with Ah-nold. She hasn't done any other major acting that I know of, but dye her hair black and I'd buy her as Diana.
Hope she has some dramatic range, but that's the chance you'd be taking with an unknown as well.

Meh. I've been aware Kristanna Loken long before T3. I just don't see it, even with dark hair. She would be a much better casting choice to play a villain than some of the casting I've seen in the other threads.

Okay, in the search for unknowns, here's one:

This girl is greek, a model (2nd place for Miss World 2001) and her name is Evelina Papantoniou. She's young but I don't know how young. Also, I don't know if she can act. Plus, she'd need blue contacts and I'd like her to get a little buffer, esp in the arms. But you know, her face is really Diana material if you ask me, and she has the height and body.

It's hard to find info on this girl because most of the web pages I find on her are in greek.

But check it out, an excerpt from a site, and notice it says she's 5'10!

"Yes, you guessed it! Evelina Papantoniou, Miss Greece Universe 2001 (Star Hellas) and 1st Runner-up in the International competition, has been chosen as the Sexiest Woman Alive for 2001. Evelina was better known for her fabulous modeling skills that grabbed all the attention while she paraded on stage. She is 5'10" tall.

23 year-old Evelina is a professional model and an art student, having studied sculpting, painting and photography. She also was part of an elite volunteered team that supported and counseled victims of the terrible earthquake that hit Athens in 1999."

I don't see anything mentioned about acting, but that doesn't mean she can't. Maybe just that she never has. Plenty of models have become actresses with success.

Somebody screen test this girl!

(I wonder if she speaks english? Speaking Greek surely adds major authenticity points though)

That would be really funny if Wonder Woman had a thick Greek accent.

WonderWomanGoddess
08-12-2003, 01:25 PM
Wonder Woman DID have a Greek accent.

Tho the Amazons speak ancient Greek not modern.

And, actually, the current WW does not have a discernible accent really, as she is supposed to have considerable skill with languages. It's always being said how many different world languages she speaks and how she speaks them flawlessly.

BUT for a movie, I'm good with a Greek accent. It's more believable.

And I found out Evelina does speak English, tho not fluently or smoothly.

Ahhhh, a beautiful woman with a foreign accent. That is so hard to resist. I wouldn't mind it if Wonder Woman had an accent but that does go against what I've seen in the comics. Isn't she supposed to speak any language with a flawless dialect?

WonderWomanGoddess
08-12-2003, 01:29 PM
Yeah DK currently she does, but in the Perez days she did not.

She was a quick study, but she didn't understand slang, she spoke with an accent, she never used contractions, she said "I do not know your word for it..." a lot as well as.."I do not understand."

She spoke haltingly with a lot of hesitations as well.

I really liked Perez's version of WW and for an origin movie, and I HOPE they draw from Perez's run for this.

No kidding DK! She's the most stunning woman I've seen in a long time. Her body is gorgeous.

But let me ask you something, did you notice a breast size um...what's the word...like her breasts are smaller in some pics than in others? Boob job maybe? Well either way, it doesn't really affect WW casting. It's easy to make someone look like they have more or less boobs.

So, she's under 25, she's got poise (POISE!), she's speaks Greek and English (enough), she's 5'10, and she has a perfect Diana face and a perfect WW body. (I would make her get some buffer arms though if I cast her). And she seems compassionate in real life and so could play compassionate in a film! Plus she would be in culture shock in America, just like Diana.

If only she can act...she's solid gold, baby!

Yeah, I noticed the differences in boob size also. I hope she doesn't make them any bigger because then they would start to look like those balloon jobs that Carmen Electra, Pam Anderson and just about anybody else that posed for Playboy has.

And I was thinking the same thing that you mentioned about her needing buffer arms. She looks like she could easily do it.

Jennifer Connelly is also too old and I find her too petite and not quite right anyways. Julianna Marguiles would have been a top choice of mine if she were younger as well.

My list, in descending order:

6. Jordan Bayne- she looks the part in the face enough. But I don't know what her body is like, having not seen her in anything. She may not have the body or the presence.

5. Rena Sofer- TV Actress. She looks the part, I think she has a good enough body and is tall enough. However, her acting ability and screen presence I don't know about having not seen her in anything. She may be older than she looks too. Here's a link to a pic:
http://www.brawnylads.com/hotties/0710b2.jpg


4. Claire Forlani- Beautiful face and eyes, good acting skills. Body style may or may not be right, I can't recall her showing it off in what I've seen her in. She maybe too short and too old as well, I'm not sure.

3. Monica Bellucci- she is breathtaking and could sure be Greek. The body is there as well. She may be too sexual and or too old. Thom says she was great in Tears of the Sun so I am going to rent it just to see her in it.

2. Catherine Zeta Jones- she's gorgeous and has the body and the skills. She also has the grace and regal presence. I am not sure why you guys suddenly think of her as less sexy because she's had children but I think her body is absolutely stunning. She may be too old now, esp with sequels in mind though.

1. Unknown- An unknown is my number one choice. A young woman who has the face, the body, the skills and the presence and is about 20-25. I saw a young woman in a bride magazine a while back that looked a whole lot like young Lynda Carter. I should do a manip of her so you guys can see. Of course I don't even know if she is an actress and it's hard to see bodies under wedding gowns.

If not no biggie. I personally think she does. But I'd like to ask a stupid question, if you please... What does the COMIC BOOK version of WW look like. I've never read it. As a kid though, I admired it from an artist point of view, but the story.. I never did get into.
My only visual to WW is Lynda Carter, of who I loved!

I've seen her once in an episode of CSI Miami. I have to say that she did appear stunning, and more beautiful in the flesh than she does just in a photo. She certainly had an almost feline, ethereal beauty to her and her acting seemed ok, although she was merely playing a seductress, so it's difficult to tell. But from what i've read about her before, she might be a bit older, like in her 30s. But she still could be good.

Ali, no that's not the bridal model I was thinking of. The good news is I found some pics of her I can scan, the bad news is that I don't have anywhere to upload them to the web so I can't really show you guys.

Maybe I'll do a manip of her, but..eh.

Anyways, as to your question about what WW looks like in the comics, well...check these out:

Here's the Alex Ross version of WW. Probably my favorite as far as visuals go.

Catherine Zeta-Jones was born on the 25th of September 1969. So she's 32 years old. Demi Moore is 40 years old. There's an 8 year difference between them. Those 8 years will mean a lot by the time this movie (if ever) gets made. And Catherine has lost that matronly look. Demi's not gonna be up for all that jumping around in heavy makeup in 3-4 years as the Cheetah.

You can't possibly know that. Demi is a very "in shape" woman to say the least. I still think she'd be good if the movie is made within the next 2-3 years. After that, we will see who else is around at the time.

Wonder Woman ... a young (currently) unknown

Steve Trevor ... a young (currently) unknown

These are the casting choices I don't agree with. Top of the list is Demi Moore as Wonder Woman, how hard is it to understand, Steve? SHE'S TOO OLD to play WW. Just that simple. She can LOOK as young as she looks, but everyone knows how old she is, and will therefore project that onto the character she plays. She would be much better suited to play Barbara Minerva. I don't disagree with Sela Ward, cause that's a pretty good choice, I would just rather see Ms. Moore play the part.

Geena Lee Nolin and Carmen Electra need to DE-flate their fake breasts, and IN-flate their "acting" abilities. Long story short, their both "Baywatch" bimbos and complete jokes.

Halle Berry is not tough enough for Phillipus.

Tom Cruise is too young looking for Steve Trevor, although he is 40, and about the right age chronologically speaking.

Dr. Psycho is an evil dwarf. Litterally. He's about 2 feet tall. Robert DeNiro is too tall.

I actually agree with your casting choices of Billy Zane and Kevin Sorbo, but WW comes from a Greek society, and their proper names are Ares and Herakles respectively.

I know. She, along with all the other Amazons should certainly be older than Diana, but not older than 30-35. I think all the amazons should be in this ballpark age group, but just be vastly more mature in their nature because chronologically, they are all about 2000 years old.

She is brunette with foreign accent, great tall figure and has also some B-class movie experience.

Look for her photo clubs
www.fitnessbeauties.com (http://www.fitnessbeauties.com)
(warning: some content may be too much for the eyes of little people)
One of her greatest photosets are: "Timea wild woman" and "Water and sand"

Warning:-) In her top contest shape she looks maybe "too fit", but it is a matter of taste.

I've always thought that Rena Sopher was exquisitely beautiful, with almost feline eyes and an almost transcendent-type beauty. However, I'm not sure about this, but I think she might be in her 30s, which could make her too old for the WW franchise if everyone is talking about getting someone in their 20s for WW.

Hey guys,

I have two fantasy choices for the part of WW
1. Jennifer Lopez
2. Angelina Jolie

I know I might get jumped on for these two choices, but hear me out.

Id like to see an accomplished actress play the part of WW, because more than likely WW will just put some green kid in the part and kill the franchise.

Wonder Woman is relatively well-known, but for the movie to go over with mainstream audiences, they probably will have to try a little harder.

Yo need an actress who can both act and has the right look. While J.Lo isnt the best actress in the world, if forced shed play a good part. She would look good in the suit, can pass herself off as mediterranean, and can tone up for the part.

Angelina Jolie is a good actor. After seeing her in Tomb Raider, her body is phenomenal. She actually is my number 1 choice for the part.

While I am a huge fan of Jennifer Lopez, I really don't feel she's right for Wonder Woman. J-Lo (easier to type) is a very warm actress and therefore fits much better into darker films in my opinion. She worked wonderfully in The Cell because the film was so horrific that an actress of her warmth and charm was mandatory to give the audience a point of reference. That particular movie needed an actress that we as movie-goers would be willing to follow into all that darkness and evil. A cold, detached performer would not have worked because the trust element necessary to venture into that level of depravity would not have been there. However, Wonder Woman requires an actress who projects superiority and royalty, and I don't think Jennifer qualifies. She's too down-to-earth and has spent most of her career cultivating a "real" image (Jenny from the Block). Angelina is a better choice but after the failure of the second Tomb Raider movie, I doubt she's prepared at this point to jump into yet another C2F.

The general consensus seems to be that Catherine Zeta Jones is ideal for this part, and I would be inclined to agree. She is in her 30s, still in great shape, and has a timeless and regal quality that is suitable for Diana. She definitely gets my vote.

I'm going to blatantly contradict myself here. I just finished watching Mulholland Drive for like the millionth time and it hit me like a sledge hammer. I think Laura Elena Harring would be ideal in this part! Check her out here:
www.lauraharring.net (http://www.lauraharring.net)

She's 39 but looks much younger, very voluptuous and exotic. She's Latin so she has that Greek olive-coloured complexion and she has an air of sophistication and authority. Best of all she's not one of those cookie-cutter starlet types. She's hauntingly, achingly beautiful.

norranradd, I understand your point about J.Lo. I actually do think that she has the right look for the part, and thats saying alot considering. She has that dark-skin which would work well as a Greek/Meditteranean look. In addition she has enough of a full-figure, but still has that inherent sensuality. And she can act!

What about my second choice? Angelina Jole!!! Have you seen her in Tomb Raider!!! She definitely has the body to pull off that Wonder Woman outfit. And I think that she is an incredibly versatile actress. She could carry off the regal presence extremely well.....

Sorry guys, my concern here is that Warner Bros. will cast some little girl for the part who will be absolutely wrong for it. I honestly think that they should use an older Wonder Woman, like mid to late twenties, rather than high school age. Or worse yet, they'll use some fitness model that absolutely can't act........

Considering the shortage of comic book-movies about female characters, I think that it is really important that Warner Bros. not drop the ball with this character like they are with Cat-Woman. And like Twentieth-Century Fox did in their casting decisions for Storm and Rogue in X-Men. Rogue and Storm are two of the most powerful X-Men and they came off as being the weakest characters in the movie.

Also another Fantasy casting idea is Paul Walker as Steve Trevor...

Well according to Dark Horizons, names for the role of Wonder Woman are being considered again, with Sandra Bullock (old choice), Eliza Dushku and Ashley Scott among the candidates. I'd actually never thought of Ashley Scott before, but then i've never watched Birds of Prey. I wonder what she would be like.

Also, WW is not going to be campy, but dark, which might be good news, but it says "something along the lines of Batman and the new Catwoman" which is terrible news. If Catwoman is anything to go by, they might as well forget about this movie right now.

I agree with you completely ! Laura Harring would be perfect . She has the perfect body for the role and she is incredibly beautiful . The first time I watched Mulholland Drive I thought she'd be the perfect choice to play Wonder Woman. Another

I knew when I went to that site that I'd seen Laura Harring before somewhere. I went to check out her filmography at IMDB, and sure enough, i'd seen her in Sunset Beach. I can't say i was terribly impressed with her back then - she certainly didn't strike me as being Wonder Woman. And she didn't really stand out as being a superheroine either or that athletic.

If their top candidates for the WW part are Eliza Dusku and Sandra Bullock, I have already lossed my faith in the franchise. None of these actresses have the right look or acting style for the part. I still hate the idea of a high-school age Wonder Woman, they should go bolder and make her mid to late 20's.

Wonder Woman is DC's 3rd biggest comic franchise and is probably the most well-known female character in comic books. Theyre are so few strong female characters in these comic book movies. DC can't drop the ball with this franchise.

Actually right now the top contenders for the roll are Ashley Scott from Bird's of Prey, and Eliza Dushku. Both are just about the right age, but Ashley edges out Eliza with her height. She'd just need to beef up a bit, and I think she'd be good! As far as "high school aged" girls for WW, well, as I've said before, an origin story of WW would have to be with a girl in her very early 20's, cause Diana was approx 22 when she left the island. Even now in "DC time" she's only about 28 or 29, so the only reason WB would have to cast a more "mature" woman is if they are doing the movie as if she is already an established super-heroine, which would be kind of dumb, cause her origin would be an awesome thing to see on the big screen.

I just join this web site and saw this discussion. I wanted to add my two cents. She may be older but I like Catherine Bell from Jag. She's tall, sexy even when she doesnt dress it, not too skinny, and can kick butt. Take a look at my link to see for yourself. http://users3.ev1.net/~dukeofdeception/

Jennifer Connely would have been great when she was younger like rocketteer days but she looks to skinny and older now.

Wonder Woman must be performed by an actress.

My choices are:
1. Mini Anden (Sweden?) http://www.atpictures.com/mini/

2. Karen Cliche (Canada) http://www.karencliche.net/kc_photos/adventureinc_photos_kc/adventureincphotos.htm

3. Ana Hickmann (Brazil) http://www.cybcity.com/ana/hickmann1.html

Only Cliche (what a surname) has an aceptable origin for north-american public. Anden has the perfect face, in my opinion, and Hickmann has a wonderful body. But there is a problem: these women need work their muscles, of course...

Your photo manipulations are not so distant from porn stars.

Of course you will say that your job were made just for fun but saying that Mini Anden and Ana Hickmann are another porn stars is wrong. (I will not defend Karen Cliche)

I also understand your point: a real actress must perform the character. Nonsense. Keanu Reeves is terrible. His agent should receive an Oscar.

I hesitate mentioning this because I want her to play Talia in a Batman film more than Wonder Woman and sometimes fan suggestions do make a difference(case in point: Christian Bale), but I'd like Rachel Weisz to play Wonder Woman. She's an amazing actress and I think she could pull off both the feminity and warrior aspects of Wonder Woman.

Of course, like I said, I want her to play Talia more than anything. But if that doesn't happen I think she'd make a fine Amazonian princess.

Well, maybe if she were a bit fresher and younger, and more unknown, i might say yes, it's a possibility. But now that she's had exposure on Buffy and Angel, I think she's too Cordelia-ish and also a bit too homely and girl-next-doorish (as the Cordeila character evolved). Maybe if she looked more as she was at the start of her time on Buffy, perhaps. But even then, she would always have seemed like a cheerleader in a Wonder Woman outfit.

I'd still rather have someone else in the role. Someone more Amazonian and classical.

I still say Jenifer Connely would have been a wonderful Wonder Woman, but now.. I don't think she'd be right. Not just that she's just barely kinda sorta a bit too old for the role either. I also don't see this career-wise for her either or for the character.

So.. other than that.. I dunno..

As for Ms. Carpenter.. maybe.. I dunno, she seems a bit too thing figured. Tough she seemt to be eager to get the role, so here's hope she has repect for the character. (Unlike a certain btich playing a certain cat.)

Too Thing figured? Well, if she looks like Ben Grimm, that definitely is the wrong look for Wonder Woman. In fact, she should be queuing up for the FF movie instead of Michael Clark Duncan.

I do like the idea of Monica Belluci, even though she is older than Carpenter. It's not Charisma's age that I'm not keen on per se, it's the fact that she doesn't look quite as fresh as she did back when she first started on Buffy, and she's built up an image of a very American girl next door type. Heck, even when she first started on Buffy, although she was meant to be playing a bitch, I think her sweetness and sincerity still tended to come through, which is why it didn't seem a jump to see Cordelia end up with the character she eventually had.

But Monica Belluci could seem like a Wonder Woman in the mould of the Alex Ross version - a little older and more mature, albeit ageless, instead of just a girl.

My trifecta for the part of Wonder Woman would be these 3 lovely ladies: Tiffany Taylor, Krista Allen and Charisma Carpenter (in that order).

Taylor is my first pick because you could probably get a few sequels out of her before she would age too much.

I hope it's not true about Sarah Michelle Gellar being up for the role!!!!! That's almost like Beyonce playing Lois Lane!!!!!

Well, if they rechristened the film "Wonder Smurf", that might work. I didn't even like the idea of SMG playing as Daphne in Scooby Doo - I think Charisma Carpenter would've been much better in that role. I'm not sure there really has been any film with SMG that I've really liked, and have been able to disassociate from her character in Buffy. She would just look like someone who's turned up to a fancy dress party in a Wonder Woman outfit.

Laura Harring is a nice choice, and surprising still very fresh and young looking.. for her age; which wouldn't quite cut it i think.

Tsianina Joelson is an interesting option, thou i'm not sure how well she can act.. but that might not be a problem considering the current producers, director, and screenwriter for this movie;

http://movies.yahoo.com/shop?d=hp&cf=prev&id=1808406625

just not my ideal batch for the job.

as much as i keep seeing people say the person filling this role should be somewhat exotic and amazon looking, Lynda Carter wasn't.. and i don't believe i've ever seen an image of Wonder Woman actually looking tropical and tan, so that, along with many other things, makes me choose Charisma Carpenter as my top pick.

The only reason I started watching that show was because I thought she had the Wonder Woman "look", especially when compared to the Justice League cartoon version. But I don't get the impression that she has any acting ability, so forgive me if I don't take this rumor seriously.

The Captain's picks for Princess Diana:

1. Tiffany Taylor - I think she even looks a lot like Lynda Carter when she played WW.

2. Krista Allen - The only reason I would place Allen 2nd is because of the age factor (how many sequels would she be willing to do?).

3. Charisma Carpenter - Same reason as Allen, but I think she would make a much better amazon than Sarah Michelle Gellar (that's like casting Beyonce for Lois Lane).

I finally had a chance to see Tears of the Sun, with Monica Bellucci, and I agree with Thom, she did show strong acting ability, raising her on my list of potential WW candidates. I am still concerned about her sexuality...can she tone it down, or redirect it to come off as ingénue instead of seductress? If she can't, or if she is not young enough, then cast her as Circe.

Another possibilty- Zulieka Robinson...she plays the arabian princess in Hidalgo...I haven't seen it yet, but I do remember her from the Lone Gunmen TV show, and she did have a killer body, and the right hair, etc. But she was cold on that show, and I'd have to see her in a warmer role to know if she could be WW.

And niether of these have blue eyes! I know contacts can fix it, but to me, WW's eyes are so important...like how Frodo's ethereal blue eyes were important to LOTRs. Her eyes should be so beautiful and piercing that they are almost painful to look at, and I don't think contacts can convey that (althought they could still help).

So the search continues!

So far we know WW is in development hell. Sandra Bullock is no longer tied in the role and other rumors have surfaced. Here's my input of the actresses to play the star spangled Amazon.

Sara Michelle Gellar (Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Scooby Doo): Too short and too waif like.

Charisma Carpenter (Buffy, Angel): Has the look and the body but also too short for the role.

Jaime King (Bulletproof Monk): Physically able to handle the role but not convincing as our Greek heroine.

Jennifer Connelly (Hulk, Beautiful Mind): My first choice but getting older by the minute. Tinseltown speed it up already.

Angelina Jolie (Tomb Raider): She's already played Lara Croft and there's no way to hide all her tatoos. Sorry she's out.

Jennifer Lopez (Selena, Gigli): JLO or J-Ho, oh please. Have you seen Gigli? Thank you.

Lucy Lawless (Xena): Could've been 10 years ago. Now it's too late.

Mia Kirscher (Not Another Teen Movie, Crow II): Possible choice but too goth in the roles she chooses.

Catherine Zeta-Jones (Zorro, Chicago): See her more as Hippolyta.

Demi Moore (Ghost, Charlie's Angel: Full Throttle): Hippolyta as well.

Jordan Bayne (?): Relative unknown. Chances of landing the role are scarce.

Julie Strain (Penthouse Pet and B-film actress): The brunette version of Pamela Anderson. Hmmm? Nahhhhhh.

Kate Beckinsale (Underworld, Van Helsing): Dark haired beauty. She might just be able to pull it off.


I know this is a small list. Anyone wanna comment or add to it? Feel free.

Although you say that Jennifer Connelly is getting older by the minute, Charisma Carpenter doesn't quite look at her peak anymore either. She was in her late twenties at the start of Buffy. Now she must be in her mid-thirties, and she is one of these actresses who is looking more maternal, like Catherine Zeta Jones. Does she even keep her hair long or brown these days? I only know her last appearance in Angel. Anyway, hair aside, I think she had more the look during Buffy or at the start of Angel, not by the 4th season or now.

There's no way Katie Holmes would even look like Wonder Woman, even though she's played "edgier" roles. Dawson's Creek or not, she doesn't remotely resemble an Amazon. Her face is too babyish and overly cute, for want of a better word. She doesn't have that classical beauty - instead she looks like a girl-next-door/student. Some of her facial expressions aren't exactly too becoming either, especially when she's sulking. I wouldn't even want to see her in WW's costume. I remember once in Dawson's Creek when she was about to take her clothes off, thinking to myself "aahhh! put your clothes back on!" She's not the type of person I want to see scantily clad, thank you.

Welsh Cat are you CRaZY!!!???? You wouldn't want to see her naked? Is this because you are under some dillusion that she is not hot,or does not have a nice figure? If this is so, let me just refer you to the film "The Gift",in which you get a nice quick,shot of her nude (God Bless). Watch and you will see that she has a fantastic figure (big rack). As far as her face goes, yes' she does have a "cuteness" about her but she is also sexy at the same time. This just makes it a package deal.

I thought the same thing at first, especially what you said about the "sulking", doe-eyed looks she gives. And then I saw a coupla pics of her in magazines... I think the first time was in GQ (when I first discovered how tall she really is). Did anyone see that spread? There was one really great shot of her wrapped in a sheet with just her back exposed, looking over her shoulder... (as I remember it anyway... could be wrong... should've bought that one!) YOWZER! I started looking at the fan sites after that and found out that she has a really great, more mature and sexy side. I agree with Marco... she has the best of both worlds. And besides, yeah, the WW costume is skimpy, but I don't really think there will be nudity, so you wouldn't have to see her completely naked if that's any consolation!

That's not the point. I'm just making a comparison. Would you want to see your sister in the raw even if she was apparently hot, in the objective opinion of other people?

Incidently, I have a friend who supposedly looks like Katie Holmes, or so others think. She even has the same initials. But I certainly wouldn't want to see her in anything less than a wooly sweater and plenty of warm clothing.

Romjin is 31 years old. How many sequels do you think she would do? Whoever they pick (and if they ever pick someone) for WW, she should be in her early to mid-20s (like Lynda Carter was).

What about WWE diva Torrie Wilson? Wrestlers are some of the best actors I've ever seen (and I'm not talking 'The Scorpion King', but inside the ring {I feel like Don King}). Torrie has the right build and eyes, hopefully she would dye her hair. And I know what you're going to say, the 2 Playboy shoots might spoil her chances like Charisma Carpenter's.

I was about to ask the same question... you beat me to it. Yep, the part she played in X-men took more stunt prowess than acting talent. Wonder Woman has to have it ALL. That is the big problem with casting the part... who can successfully fill the boots on every level and live up to that image we all have etched in our minds... yep, that's right! Lovely Lynda!

The only reason I thought of Katie Holmes, was because she fits the age category WB seems to be going for and to me resembles Lynda 'slightly'. And I like her a WHOLE LOT better than Sarah Michelle Gellar. What about this rumor about Charisma Carpenter and the fact she may have blown her chance of being considered because of a Playboy shoot?

That was the word a couple of weeks ago from people on the boards. Nothing has been confirmed either way about Carpenter. I guess they feel DC/Warner Brothers wouldn't want to tarnish the image of Wonder Woman by having a star who posed for Playboy (Maxim, maybe). Personally, if she can act and she has the physical attributes of the Amazing Amazon, then great!

I can't say I'd want either Katie Holmes or Sarah Michelle Gellar. I once heard that Ms Holmes was considered for the part of Buffy. I somehow can't see her in that role. In that respect SMG was better for that role. But I definitely wouldn't want to see SMG as WW. She seems to act the same in all her films, still essentially playing Buffy even in Scooby Doo. Plus she's too smurfish.

I didn't know that Charisma Carpenter posed for Playboy. Was that to revive her flagging career or just for kicks? I can't really see her as Wonder Woman either. Oh well, just as long as Katie Holmes doesn't decide to go the same route.

We really need someone fresh, young and unknown like Lynda Carter was. She had a classical, timeless beauty about her so that she didn't look like someone in her twenties when she was that age, nor in fact did she look of any specific age. Now, in her 50s, although she has grown older she has aged very well and her looks haven't faded. In some sense she looks like someone who appears the same age no matter how old she is.

Here's a website (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/subst/home/home.html/103-3403795-3031004) where they surely must have plenty of candidates for Wonder Woman.

Katie Holmes???? You mean Joey from Dawson's Creek?????????? As Wonder Woman????????

Sorry, I just don't see that. Even casting her as Donna Troy would be a stretch. Damn, even if they used the 70s TV show as a model she's still no Lynda Carter (who was born to play Wonder Woman)!

Let's not forget that Diana is an Amazon Princess, and I have a hard time imagining Holmes portraying her properly. Wonder Woman is steely determined, authoritative, almost humourless. Heck, I can even remember Superman musing about how Diana is so pompous sometimes he'd like to smack her one! The fact that even Superman would feel this way speaks volumes about Diana's personality.

I like Katie Holmes but even though she's 26 she still comes across as too fragile and girlish to be believable as an Amazon. And I have to agree with Welshcat, in interviews Holmes could still pass for a girl 10 years her junior. Any attempt to sexualize her just seems......wrong.

Well, that is exactly my problem with the whole thing... why would they HAVE to "sexualize" her, as you put it? First off, either an actress has it or she doesn't. Secondly... yes, Wonder Woman needs to have a certain sensuality to her, but shouldn't it be an underlying, latent quality? Not something that's so in your face you forget the essential aspects of the character? That's what I liked about Lynda's portrayal. No one could doubt she was sexy, but even in the costume, she was still CLASS 100%. She even made it believable that a strong, independent and self-respecting Amazon would run around in man's world dressed like that. (THO I LIKED IT MUCH!) It didn't seem strange at all. That's why I am totally against having some former porn star or somebody with that kind of reputation in the film. I know no one has a perfectly clean background, but I think those kind of things in particualar detract from the character too much.

That's another thing I'm wondering about - Katie Holmes in Batman, as the love interest. What's Bruce Wayne, the playboy millionaire doing cavorting around with this teenyish looking girl? Couldn't find anyone his own age? Has Batman become a bit of a cradle snatcher since the last Batman movie? Even if Bruce Wayne is just starting out, Christian Bale still looks older and more mature than Katie Holmes, so there looks a bit of an age difference between the two.

Whether or not Katie Holmes is still associated with Joey, she still doesn't look like Wonder Woman material. Instead she looks more like someone who would be going to a fancy dress party in a Wonder Woman outfit. I personally would find it very difficult not to see Katie Holmes the actress in a costume than simply see Wonder Woman the character. Wonder Woman really needs someone fresh and not overly associated with another role. Do people see Elvis when they watch that old biopic with Kurt Russell? Back then they might have, but now it looks like Kurt Russell in a silly costume doing an Elvis impersonation. You don't see the character. Now, granted, that was different for Russell in that his career progressed since the time he was an unknown, but Katie Holmes isn't an unknown, and she already has been seen in various roles, most notably as Joey. So it's extremely difficult, no matter how good an actress she may be, for an audience to suddenly see her as this Amazonian superheroine.

I have to agree with Welshcat (did I just say that aloud {no, you wrote it}, I can't see Holmes as an Amazon Princess, princess maybe, but Sans-Amazon. I'm going to hold my judgement on 'Batman Begins' until it comes out next year.
So, should an actress or model appearing in Playboy ruin her chances to play Wonder Woman? Personally (as I already stated), I don't think so.
But you were also talking about Lynda Carter. I love Ms. Carter and it's going to be really, really, really hard for Hollywood to top her classic performance as Wonder Woman. Although, if they are going to try, maybe they should start at the place where she was discovered, the Ms. USA pagent. Danielle Demski (Miss Arizona)is 5'10" and has green eye (which favor on the side of blue). You can see her at this website: http://www.missusa.com/delegates/2004/state/AZ.html, and at this one which also gives her measurements (although it says her eyes are hazel on this one): http://www.fordrba.com/danielle_demski_ptc.htm.
I also think Jennifer Sherrill (Miss Arkansas) sort of favors Lynda Carter (although the Miss USA site says her eyes are hazel, but in the photo they look blue). She's only 5'7" (does anyone know how tall Lynda Carter is?). You can look at her here http://www.missusa.com/delegates/2004/state/AR.html.

My last submission is Lisa Forbes (Miss Kansas). She's 5'10" and has dark brown hair and blue eyes (ding ding ding ding ding). And she has the nerve to be from Clark Kent's home state (if he actually existed).

Hey, reality television is one arena Hollywood hasn't tried to cast in big budget blockbusters.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>

That was my point. Why not have a pageant to choice who would star in the new Wonder Woman movie. Sort of an homage to Carter and the amazon princess. MB where have you been (don't take up time telling me hear, send me an e-mail)?

There's a ad that's been running on television for a couple months about some herpes drug and the actress in it has exactly the kind of eyes I'd imagine Wonder Woman having. I'm not saying this particular actress is right for Wonder Woman, but I hope the people casting choose someone with eyes like hers.

I honestly can't believe that the most active thread, is one about "Wonder Woman"!! Ironman is so much cooler, yet nobody is even paying attention to his threads.
