Missy Posted December 22, 2004 Report Share Posted December 22, 2004 A few weeks ago it was reported that Minnie Driver desperately wanted the title role, but realized it was a hoop dream. Saying, "I think you're probably going to see Catherine Zeta-Jones squished into a corset and a pair of shorts quicker than you'd see me." The latest WW rumor suggest Joss Whedon may write and direct the adaptation (which was previously written by Laeta Kalagridis). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaxPower Posted December 23, 2004 Report Share Posted December 23, 2004 Neither I want. Zeta Jones is hot, but she ain't no wonder woman. Rachel Bilson looked pretty good in the outfit in The OC Other than that, I am drawing a blank at the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missy Posted December 23, 2004 Author Report Share Posted December 23, 2004 Much like Superman, they should go with an unknown. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kscriv Posted December 23, 2004 Report Share Posted December 23, 2004 Rachel Bilson looked pretty good in the outfit in The OC Yes, oh god yes, if that happens (unlikely) I'd watch the movie 20 times in a row Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James D. Posted December 23, 2004 Report Share Posted December 23, 2004 I think Catherine Zeta-Jones has the charisma and acting ability of a milk carton. She's also a complete airhead, as can be easily noticed from her appearances on Leno and Letterman. She would be horrible for the part of Diana.

Missy Posted February 20, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2005 The latest WW rumor suggest Joss Whedon may write and direct the adaptation (which was previously written by Laeta Kalagridis). Producer Joel Silver has confirmed that he is actively seeking Joss, but Whedon's upcoming project (Serenity) could muck up the timetable.

Yarrik Posted February 20, 2005 Report Share Posted February 20, 2005 Whedon as the director would be too cool for school. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaxPower Posted February 21, 2005 Report Share Posted February 21, 2005 If there was to be a man to direct a movie about a woman who kicks ass, then it must be Joss Whedon or Ridley Scott. Hey that would be cool, Wonder Woman directed by Ridley Scott. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missy Posted February 22, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2005 Okay... so this is lame. Rumors state that both Kim Basinger and Jessica Biel are up for the role. Who gets it depends on if they want an older or younger Wonder Woman. Ugh! Basinger can't act and is one ugly woman, and while Biel might be hot she too is limited when it comes to acting skills.

James D. Posted February 23, 2005 Report Share Posted February 23, 2005 Basinger can't act and she is FIFTY-ONE YEARS OLD. What the fuck are they thinking??? And Jessica Biel? Lord. Why she keeps getting acting jobs other than that she's hot is a mystery of our times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wicko Posted March 14, 2005 Report Share Posted March 14, 2005 If it was my choice I'd lean towards Gina Torres of Matrix/Alias/Angel fame. She's also got an in having worked with Joss twice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wicko Posted March 14, 2005 Report Share Posted March 14, 2005 What about Monica Bellucci? I think maybe Monica Bellucci is a bit to feminine (if you know what I mean) - someone like Torres looks like she could genuinely throw down while retaining her hotness.

S-T Posted March 16, 2005 Report Share Posted March 16, 2005 Here's an idea. Cast Joanie Laurer ("Chyna") as Wonder Woman. :puke: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missy Posted March 16, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2005 Here's an idea. Cast Joanie Laurer ("Chyna") as Wonder Woman. Jenny's been begging for that for years, but I will destroy all of Hollywood is this happens. Despite her godly strength, Wonder Woman is supposed to look feminine, not like a jacked-up freak with a three inch you know what! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big E Posted March 24, 2005 Report Share Posted March 24, 2005 I really like the Jessica Biel idea. I think she has the right look, and did pretty good in Blade 3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missy Posted March 24, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2005 From TVGuide.com: Question: Now, I think we all know where you stand on the casting for Joss Whedon's Wonder Woman, but I feel obliged to mention my best friend's belief that the one and only (aside from Lynda Carter, natch) choice is Lucy Lawless. If ever the opportunity presents itself, be sure to pass on to Joss this viable second choice (since you would naturally push for Lauren Graham). — Brian Edwards Ausiello: I've got good news and bad news for you, Bri. The good news: Such a chance actually did present itself last Thursday, when Joss phoned me during a break from editing Serenity to chat about lassoing Wonder Woman and resurrecting a certain 150-year-old, English vamp on WB (more on that later). The bad news: I never got around to pitching Lawless. I did, however, find out that Whedon is months away from finding his ideal Woman. "Everybody is in agreement that casting is not an issue right now," he says. "It's not a vehicle to be built around a particular star. We want to write the thing, find the right character and then figure out who should play her. There are various famous people whose names have come up, because that always happens, but you know, we're talking about Wonder Woman here. Those are tough booties to fill." That said, it sounds like Whedon knows enough about Lynda Carter's successor to rule out Lawless and (sigh) Graham. "I think we will go a little younger than the traditional idea of Wonder Woman," he says, adding that the new Princess Diana will likely be in her early twenties and played by someone outside the Buffyverse. "It's a movie, not a party for my friends." That certainly bodes well for rumored front-runner Jessica Biel. (And I repeat: Sigh... ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaxPower Posted March 24, 2005 Report Share Posted March 24, 2005 I'm glad he has acknowledged he has to work outside his comfort zone for casting. Not sold on Lauren Graham, but I like the idea of a younger Wonder Woman, althoug would prefer mid 20's instead of early, so there is no teen-angst type crap in there. So if he is going younger, Rachel Bilson should be a shu in! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Preston Posted March 24, 2005 Report Share Posted March 24, 2005 I'm more interested in Joss bringing Spike back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
