I'm afraid IMDB has been a wealth of wrong information...I wouldn't advise believing anything you read there.
They print any dumb rumor anyone wants to start
(you wanna start one? Just post it, they will put it up as fact)

Personally I would like to see Morena as WW, but IMDB has said about 3 other people have the job too
edited to add: this article was based on one IMDB rumor:

Ditto... IMDB is fairly reliable after-the-fact (but only fairly, not totally(, but never trust it until after a film/tvshow/whatever has been released.

There's no place I can be since I found Serenity.

Don't forget that they had Wash's full name as Jerry Lee Warren for a long time, and that confusion was based on the original (incorrect) captions when FOX broadcast "Our Mrs. Reynolds."

May have been the losing side. Still not convinced it was the wrong one.

Definitely do not believe any rumor you read on IMDB. As was said above, they have "reported" at least three different people being "offered" the job of the Amazonian Princess, but until I hear officially from Joss I won't believe it.

That being said, I am pulling for Morena to get the job. She would be perfect. That and she's hot.

Seriously, I thought Joss said they were

But I'd love to see her do it!

I saw an interview with Joss and Morena where the subject of her playing WW came up. Joss said he already had someone in mind... he honestly said he wanted..

LOL!! THAT WAS SOO WRONG!!

Seriously, the best bet is to probably go the Superman route and get an unknown. She would have to be beautiful and tall (Amazon).

Of course, her mother should be played by Lynda Carter. No question.

Artificial tall is a very easy thing to do with the wonders of movie magic. Keep a few crates floating around and choose your camera angles well and it's all good.

I was about to say the same thing Dave just did. Remember how Peter Jackson managed the different sizes of man, elf and hobbit? The same type of technique could be used to make Morena appear taller.

Or they could do what they do for Tom Cruise, and have her stand on a box.

Plus, despite how she looked on Firefly (flanked by Nathan and Adam, who are both very tall), she isn't small. I've heard she is at least 5'8", which is on the tall side of average (or short side of tall, if you prefer). Give her boots with a touch of platform, big heels, and *poof* 6 feet tall. Add camera effects to it, and she'd look positively statuesque.

And Tom Cruise is the perfect example of how well camera trickery can make anyone look tall. I've never understood the "has to be really tall" requirement for Wondy. As long as she looks tall, it'll work. Of course that doesn't mean any actress could do it. An actress whose build is tiny (think SMG) would never work, because no matter what tricks they would use, the actress would look wonky. But an actress with long limbs and of average height and build can be made to look tall very convincingly. Which means Morena would look just fine.

As a woman who is 5'8, and therefore quite qualified to have a preference on this very important matter, I would like to say that, yes, I do consider 5'8 to be on the short side of tall, not the tall side of average, thank you.

Now that this important issue has been addressed, I am off.

And there you go, words from someone who knows. 5'8" is the short side of tall, therefore Morena is officially tall.

Morena would be wonderful as WW. She's got enough curves on her body that she will look very good once they get her working out but she won't be overly muscular.

I'm 5'8''also. I'm too tall to be considered "average" and too short to be considered "tall".

Just walk a little in my shoes and try to buy
clothes. Pants are either too long if I can find talls and regular pants are almost ankle pants. The same with dresses. Stuck forever in skirts and blouses for work.

To complicate matters I have a long waist and I've been in the 6-10 misses range since I was 13 or so. Juniors never ever fit me. So no cute, frilly and feminine clothes. Oh, to have custom clothes and costumes like Morena.

yeah, I dunno who it'll be... I didn't know Joss was doing WW though.... by that I mean making the movie, not the inuendo...

I think morena could do it, and do it well. then they interveiw her, and ask her what some of her earlier work was and Boom! firefly plug!

one hesitates to mention this, but according to the latest statistics the average woman is currently 5'4" so 5'8" is actually tall... and I just checked Morena says she is 5'7 3/4 inches ( which by the way is so damn cute)

I've also seen rumors of Eliza Dushu getting the role though I think Morena definately has more of the look.

Joss really wants to throw everybody for a loop cast Gina Torres!!! She is an ultimate warrior woman ;)

I heard that Morena was up for the role of Wonder Woman, too. But, I think JW is also considering Summer Glau, which I think would make a better WW.Physically, I truly think she could pull it off. Don't get me wrong, though, Morena is hot, but I'm a River fan myself.

It was a slow day at work and I was thinking (very dangerous!).

If JW does cast Morena as WW it could be a payback for cutting a lot of her scenes in the BDM, thus giving her a shot at real stardom.

There is precedent for this. Kevin Costner was the body in the beginnning of the "BIG CHILL" and was supposed to appear in multiple flashbacks but they all ended up on the cutting room floor.

Lawrence Kasdan, the director, felt bad and cast Kevin Costner in a big role his next film,the western, "SILVERADO". Kevin proved he was star material and his career took off from there. Until "WATERWORLD" that is. LOL

I agree though that Gina Torres would also make a fantastic WW.

Very, very aware of that. Lived in Industry-
land some years ago and often ran across
dashing, swashbuckling actors who needed
boxes.

The point was that Joss had allegedly said
Morena wasn't tall enough.
(Heck, that might have been a joke, like
Nathan's turnip odor)

I'd love to see Morena do WW.

I, too, am still at least 5'8" -- back injury
took off a fraction -- and can vouch for anyone
else here who is "tall" (though on the "short"
side of it, LOL) at 5'8" because it really has
been an issue for me, as well.

Floral Bunny,
We need to form the "short side of tall" club for women.

Actually at my last physical in June I was 5'7 7/8". I didn't like the nurse writing that down on my chart. I've always claimed 5'8" since I was 13 or so and towered above the boys.

7/8" ?? Hehe. Better fight for that other 1/8"
by golly. Stand tall! (And get yourself
measured in the AM, they say, 'cos you're taller
then)

You should have gone to some of the docs I had
to go to with the back thingy.

"Nurse" made me put down my giant bag to weigh
me but then flipped the height thing around
and took my height while I still had thick
sandals on.

I pointed that out to the doc and he subtracted
an inch but, while we were negotiating that, it
occurred to me that a previous doc's office
had done the same thing and I hadn't even thought
to mention it because all I wanted to do at the
time was to stop having to stand up.

Both of these guys were allegedly
professional evaluators who were conducting
exams for the record.

Experts -- I larf.

And I agree, it would be GREAT to see Morena star in another Joss film, especially after she got so many great scenes cut from Serenity!

I do agree that Morena would be wonderful as WW.
I believe she is tall enough.
I would not want Wondy to be as tall as the guys (Superman/Batman), even in heels.
Wondy has to be above average in height. Taller than most women. 5'8" is tall enough.
Lynda Carter is 5'10 (I think). In costume, would be 6' - 6'1".
In my country the average height of women is 5'1". Hehehe. Yeah we're hobbits. A 5'8" girl is a giant supermodel.
What I like about casting Morena is that she and JW had good history together. Good for the movie. She does not carry too much baggage as well, unlike casting a well-known actress - who cound be popular enough, to demand which shots she wanted to take, and what she want and does not want to do.
Remember, JOSS IS BOSS. =)

Another thing, It's indeed instant plug for Firefly/Serenity if she is indeed cast as WW.

And a little tiny President.

Nathan and Morena would have too much fun
if they did WW together.
There would be nothing but outtakes. The
project would be over budget and behind
schedule and would be in the news because
of it. Eventually, the studio would send
men with nets to take away Joss and the
actors.

H'mmmm. Might be fun.
