I know, I know, it's been done, but I wanted to do it again since access to the archives in General is still all messed up. And it should be here anyway.
Here's my top five:
Number 5

Number 4

Number 3

Number 2

Number 1

(I dearly love whoever did that photoshop...)

As for actresses being talked about which I think should absolutely not have the role (because I can)
Lindsay Lohan (I actually think she's an okay actress, but not a badass)
Katherine McPhee (If a American Idol is cast I'm just not seeing the movie)
Sarah Michelle Gellar (She's 5'2")
Angelina Jolie (I like her well enough, I just can't see it.)
Jennifer Garner (I don't think she has the right look.)

So, everyone else's top and bottom picks?

Oh yes, and fun fact; Wonder Woman's sister Nubia has some very dark skin. If they're actually sisters an argument could be made that Wonder Woman should also be dark skinned but originally wasn't. Why? Well, let's not go into the fact that basically all super heroes have light skin, with very very rare exceptions...

Remember the Nathan Fillion facts thread a few months ago? I do believe Nathan will be starring as WW.

No really, I love the idea of Gina playing her.She would be perfect.And Morena would be a good choice too.There was some talk about an actress from Bollywood playing her & she was soooo beautiful.Don't know if she can act though.

I love the Gina as WW pic,although the body looks kinda fake.Y'know I still have all my WW comics. I think she helped inspire my becoming a pagan. All that Goddess mythology .

I just dont know what to think on the issue of WW's look. I know Joss was pro-original costumes when he did astonishing X-men, but I just cannot see him making a movie about a woman who embraces a different culture for the sake of her people, and then dons a bathing suit to walk around in. Joss does embrace the sexy often times, but... well this is why I'm so curious, I'm interested to see what he'll do.

As for who should play it, I'm afraid I've never seen morena in anything else, so i'm not sure how she'd fare. But I gotta admit, Gina Torres, best idea. Seriously. To hell with the 50's writers who wouldnt have been able to sell a black woman superhero, this is now and that was then, and for all the nostalgia value, I don't think it's worth requiring a white woman. But unfortunately the studio will probably require that the star be badass, white, female (rules out Nathan), and end up with black hair for the film. They can't afford to lose the people who'll go see it for its nostalgia.

As for lows? Ugh, any well known actress that I've seen in the news or whatever.... I really hope not. None of that lindsey lohan, preferably not Garner, please no Jessica Alba (no offence meant to DA fans, she's just played too many frail helpless damsels).

My best hope, really, is for Joss to go for a virtual unknown who vaguely looks the part (to make the marketers happy) and can absolutely act her tail off, to make us and Joss happy.

*shudder* I saw that photoshop of Nathan. Eurgh.
And I looked up the actress that was being talked about, the "bollywood" actress, and she was indeed beautiful, but she didn't look like Wonder Woman to me. She wouldn't be a bad choice, but I don't think she'd be the right choice. She looked too soft and girly.
Yeah, the body looks weird because it's photoshop. But still...
Wonder Woman was my hero when I was little, just because she was a Goddess-worshipping super-powered woman. I thought that was the coolest thing ever! (I still do, despite how often she gets tied up)
Jessica Alba and Shanon Elizabeth have both been talked about, but they also look a little too... girly to me. The idea doesn't make me cringe, but it doesn't make me jump for joy either.

Ok - having seen Rose's list here now I think that Gina is my hot favourite - but I am thrilled at the thought of Carsima Carpenter - I had never thought of her as leading lady before, but she could seriously kick (as you put it) ass! She can be beautiful, sultry and really strong at the same time... yeah - I'm liking the idea more n more... good work PR!

Or the acting talent, or the screen presence, or the willingness to not have it be a "star vehicle."

To wit, she (and her people) probably wouldn't be telling Joss what to write, as Halle Berry's handlers were apparently doing to John Rogers.

See, I thought cat woman was black, it was catwoman (from batman) who was white, and this was a different cat woman from a different comic. But I'm not a huge comic fan, really, so I'm probably wrong about that.
And most people seemed more upset by the story and/or attitude of the character than her skin color. But that's just from what I saw.

I never saw Catwoman. But I knew people who refered to it as 'softcore porn'. Hence, why I didn't see it.

I know, eh, I think we all know Joss can do way, way better.

Had those people ever actually seen softcore porn? I mean, there was a bit more skin than maybe absolutely necessary(especially after the leather got all shredded somehow) but it wasn't porn. Porn involves sex and actual nekkidness. Sheesh.

I didn't think you were but the movie is about Wonder Woman, not her sister. I don't know if William Moulton Marston was a bigot but that's not the issue and it doesn't change the image fans have of his creation, in either case. The argument that she should be black because her sister was doesn't hold water - one might as well claim the opposite.

Not really considering that dark skin is dominant. Same with dark eyes; it just comes out in the genes. I should know; everyone in my family has light skin, hair and eyes except my half-brother, because his father had very dark eyes and hair. So the opposite could not be argued if you're going to be logical about it. Sorry.
Also being logical about it, an "Amazon" would be from the Amazon area. Duh. And those who live by the Amazon tend to have what? Dark skin, that's right. Let's use our brains instead of our knee-jerk and/or nostalgia. I love Wonder Woman growning up and yet I have no objection to her being black, even if most of my picks are white.
If you don't think Gina has the chops to do it, that's fine, but don't discount her simply because of her skin.

WW wasn't conceived in the usual way. She was sculpted out of clay and given life by the (Greek) gods. Genes don't play into it.

"The Amazon area?" If you're thinking of the Amazon region in South America, you're way off. That name comes from the Portuguese, who thought they had discovered the mythological (is-)land figuring in the legends of the ancient Greeks. The Greek people have been composed of various ethnicities through the ages but none of them were black. In fact, the hellenistic Greeks were apparently more caucasian than modern ones. For someone who grew up with the character, you don't seem to know much about her origin, since you have the most common misconception about her. Which doesn't invalidate your opinion but you can drop the "I'll-explain-this-to-you-dear-child" routine.

Well, apologies, obviously my conception of where the Amazon got its name was incorrect. Also the origin myth was likely way, way before my time, considering she was first seen in 1941, and it was not rehashed over and over the way Batman and Superman have been. I never saw it.
Oddly enough, the image of her on wikipedia, which claims to be the cover art for #3, shows her with brownish hair, kind of fading to black. That's the only time I've seen her portrayed with lighter hair. Interesting.

Might be a lighting effect, but it still seems strange.

Damn she's beautiful.
PR- I saw a history channel show where they actually proved that the Amazons existed.But they were from eastern Europe,with blonde hair & blue eyes.A modern ancestor was found in Mongolia & a dna test ( from a corpse believed to be one of the warrior women )confirmed the lineage.If they were really the Amazons or just an obscure tribe of female warriors Goddess only knows.Cool though.

I still love WW & can't wait to see what Joss does for her.

The fact that I don't think she can act well is irrelevant; I just don't think she looks the part. Plus, doesn't she have an... interesting accent?

And, on the subject of your friend who doesn't like Firefly - I can see where people like that are coming from. But, for the most part, I think that they don't take the time to look past the twang and pistols - that, or they just don't appreciate getting to know characters.

Ok, I hate Jennifer Lopez with a mad fiery passion. She's flat and uninteresting and when she's not flat and uninteresting she's bitchy. Wonder Woman she ain't.
I think the shot in red leather came from Xena or Hercules; I'm not sure, it just popped up on google search and my jaw dropped.
I agree she could have played an excellent Inara.

I think some people have seen so much Star Trek they can't see anything else. I have known him a long time and once he gets an opinion you can't bend him. So I never press any issue with him.

And Lopes will never get the part. So I can't really defend something that will never be proven. I just get gut feelings sometimes. You see Phoenrose agrees with you. I'm out numbered.

I actually got the idea of her a doing a more dramatic role while watching her in "Wedding Planner". How romantic can you get. But I saw something in her. I can never put these things in words.

Its like Bill Murray. I saw him in several comedy roles and then he did "The Razor's Edge", and surprized me with a great performance. If you haven't seen it, I recommend it.

Even before there was thought of a WW movie there was one woman who everytime I saw her thought (she'd make a good WW) Terry Farrel from Deep Space Nine. I once placed her picture next to Linda Carter's and wow, they could have been sisters. Course she's far too old now, and I doubt she'd have the stamina to do the work but she has proven she can be badass, remember she took on Worf, and won him.

And just Google her to see her in that red Wedding dress. Nearly there already. Too bad she's not even considered in the running. This movie came too late.

And as much as I love them both I can't see either Morena or Gina in the roll. Sorry.

She does bear a resemblance to Linda Carter, though I must reiterate that I don't think that makes or breaks anything; I don't think Linda Carter is the end-all be-all of Wonder Woman at all, in fact. She's beautiful and filled out the costume well, but I think there should be more to it. Like looking like an Amazon who can kick your ass and look good doing it.

MISSTRESSAHARA

Wednesday, August 23, 2006 11:30 PM

Thus my reasoning for Farrel, she's already proven she can be a badass, anyone who watched the show saw the epi's where she interacted with the Klingons. In Blood Oath she helped Kor, Koloth and Kang (ST:TOS Klingons) fulfill a blood oath to kill an albino Klingon, only she and Kor survived. Barely.

When she married Worf she had a catfight with Martoks wife, and finally got the female Klingons respect. Not to mention the fights between the Jem Hadarr. God I'm such a Geek knowing this stuff.

All I'm saying is that out of all the candidates that are out there, she can hold her own with them. Plus she's tall, statuesque, has the Amazonian look, and she is damn pretty.

Well , I think you're right . But I think the worst-case scenario would be Lindsay Lohan . As much as I want Joss' venture to be successful , I would boycott the film if she's cast . I'd rather see just about anyone named so far do it before I'd see Lohan as Wonder Woman . She was okay in Disney's remake of The Parent Trap , but I've never been able to take her seriously in any role ( especially her own life ! ) since then .

I was thinking of people with chops that could do it , that haven't been named so far . Anne Hathaway could do it , but she'd have to get a much tougher attitude and buff up a bit .

Traveler's suggestion of J. Lopez got me to thinking of saucy Latinas who might step into the role . As beautiful as Paz Vega happens to be , I think her skills with English are not yet up to the challenge , and she may be a bit too soft for the role , anyway .

If an 'unknown' Latina is cast , we could do a lot worse than see Ana Beatriz Barros as Wonder Woman . The demographics just might work favorably in this instance .

That last one of Anne might do; but, I'm not sure about her acting (I've only seen her in Disney-esque movies, although I have an urge to see "The Devil Wears Prada" now).

Overall, not a horrible choice. I agree with whoever said that Lindsey Lohan would be the worst pick - heck, even Nathan would be better (well, doesn't that paint a pretty picture? )!

Hello Yinyang:

You don't have to make compromises with me. I have my ideas and you have your's. I would love to see Gina Torres as Wonder Woman. She would do a fine performance. She certainly proved herself to me in Firefly and in past performances I've seen.

I just don't want you to think I'm angry that you don't agree with me. Having different opinions is what makes life interesting. It would be dull if we all thought the same things. Diversity is what keeps this big old world spinning.

The woman you see below in my signature is my first choice, but she died 50 or more years ago. Her name is Priscilla Lawson and she played Priness Aura in the original Flash Gordon serials back in the 30's. She was already dead when they broadcast the series on TV when I was six years old. Black hair, pale skin, mysterious eyes. Can a six year old fall in love? Yes. Not till I was older and the serials were available on VHS did I realize what an effect she had on me. But she did. And I can't explain how. So you don't have to explain anything to me.

We have Christian-Judean-Islamic, Pagans, Atheists, and everything in between in this verse, so I think there is room for both of us.

I may be taking this too serious, but I get the feeling you think you hurt me because you don't like Jennifer. No way. You could never do that.

Yinyang, I will always continue to look forward to your wonderful posts and discussing any issue with you.

Now you have to rent the film "A Tree Grows In Brooklyn". You will recognize me. I'm the drunken dreamer. Well I was before I quit drinking. Now I'm the sober dreamer. I don't stagger down the streets anymore, just in these threads.

All right, I'll see if I can find that movie.

Oh, and as to the matter of compromises - sometimes, it's fun (and healthy, I think) to actually consider an idea, rather than reject it out of hand. As trivial as it may be, this is what I'm doing with your idea of Jennifer Lopez - thinking about how she could or couldn't fit the role, and why I think/feel that way.

You? Angry at me? The possibility hadn't even entered my mind (is that presumptuous of me? Don't answer that.).

Too serious? Naw. Sometimes it's good to pepper life with these moments - otherwise, how could anyone enjoy the sillyness?

Heehee!

I can't remember her name, but the woman who was in Terminator 3 might be able to do it. She was tall and could be a scary ass-kicker.
I like the pictures posted above (can't remember their names now, either. Can you tell I didn't get enough sleep last night?) but they both look a bit too soft for it. They would need to bulk up a considerable amount.
As for getting someone who will fill a theater; that is what the studio wants, but not what Joss wants. Joss wants someone who can fill the role. I sure hope he doesn't have to compromise that to the point of casting the likes of Lohan or Jolie (I like both of them, they just aren't Wonder Woman) and certainly not a American Idol.

*edit* Jennifer Connelly looks pretty good, I would want her to build some strength, though. She's got thin little arms.
The other thing is that Joss has said he wants a relative unknown. We don't know if he'll get his way, but that's what he wants. Come on, it's Joss; he's all about finding the amazing talent in unlikely places. Look at Summer.

Conelly and Lopez are too old (so is Gina). There have been hints that anyone pushing 35 is literally out of the picture. My wet dream is that either Morena or Indira Varma (from Rome) gets the part.

Too old ? You know , Joss of all people would probably resist such a characterization .

On the plus side , Connelly would be considered a 'bankable' star , due to being somewhat 'known', in addition to having an Oscar win in her column . The Hollywood hats would like that , but would likewise be among the first to say an actress not quite in her
mid-30's is " too old ". That would be tragic , because the more important things are how well she can step into the role , be believable , and look good while doing it .

I like Morena for the role also , but so far it looks like Joss will have an uphill fight to get her .

Seems I remember some of the studio 'wigs wanting Jessica Alba , but in her 'superhero' turns so far , I've found her somewhat underwhelming . Serviceable , maybe , but still underwhelming . I think she's more suited to the 'Into the Blue' types of roles . Would be a better choice than some , but not nearly as good as others . Middlin' , you might say , and that's exactly what Wonder Woman doesn't need .

The other extremes are either a known quantity like Connelly or an 'unknown' like Ana Beatriz Barros . The smart money would choose Connelly .

But if they decide on an 'unknown' , I say Ana Beatriz 'cause I think she can do it . Or Morena , who definitely can .

Put Morena in the column of 'known' unknowns . Safer than an 'unknown' unknown .

There are lot of hot female actresses and models, and I frankly have no fathomable clue who the industry will pick or why. But I can think up some criteria on my own, much of which will probably be of importance in the actual choice (or not), such as acting ability, similarity to Linda Carter, not overly expensive or carrying a lot of baggage. My ability to assess such things is probably poor to non-existent.

Wonder Woman was an Amazon. That doesn’t mean she’s from Brazil, folks. The Amazons were from Asia Minor and the Eastern Balkans. And Wonder Woman’s true identity was Princess Diana or Artemis, a Greek God. So her ethnicity could be Greek. But Greeks have dark eyes and dark hair and olive to light skin

Alternatively, if you wanted to get technical with the history, many Amazons were thought to be Scythians/Cimmerian or possibly Galatians, both of which come from a culture where women were likely to be warriors. Neither the Scythians nor the Galatians were Greek Scythians may have been Slavic, Iranian, possibly Celtic or Germanic. The Galatians were Celtic. So depending on how one frames the story, many ethnicities could work. But I’m thinking that could be stretching the story, after all Diana/Artemis were Roman/Greek gods, not Celtic or Slavic, so I’m going with the Greek Ethnicity.

A few selections:

Jessica Beil – NO : got the Action heroine down, but not the look
Terry Ferrel – NO
Jennifer Lopez – NO : way too much baggage and way too expensive
Selma Hayek – YES : Latina Ethnicity, Good Actress, similar appearance to Lynda Carter, right attitude, but maybe expensive?
Kira Knightly – YES : She made a great Guinevere, she’s a good actress. I think she has the right look, but she’s a little bit petite to be following in Lynda Carter’s footsteps.
Ana Beatriz Barros – NO Can she act? I doubt it.
Anne Hathaway – NO : Seems like a lot of work would have to be done
Jennifer Connelly – NO : likewise
Kristanna Loken – NO : Wrong look.
Lindsay Lohan – NO : Good Actress. Too much baggage.
Morena Baccarin – YES : Latina Ethnicity, Fair Actress, Similar Appearance to Lynda Carter, can she pull off the action heroine thing?
Paz Vega – Maybe
Catherine Zeta-Jones – YES : probably expensive

Don't follow the logic , sometimes . A lot of models have made the transition to acting . The kind of physical intelligence that serves a model well also is required of actors . Wouldn't rule out some of the models listed so quickly .

As for needing some 'work' , upon 'greenlight' , most any of the actresses named would be willing to train for weeks or months to become Wonder Woman . It's what Linda Hamilton did to become buff enough to have the right look for the Terminator films . Summer Glau did a lot of fight training for the physical demands of her Serenity role .

Salma Hayek ? Admittedly , she is very beautiful , but I just don't see her as having the stature of Wonder Woman . She's a bit vertically-challenged .

Well , to throw more fuel on the fire , and to continue my tradition of casting folk in challenging roles , here's my newest candidate :

I'm for Morena and Gina.
It depends on who the casters will pick.
Joss gives a hell lot of guesswork and sometimes hints as to Morena being WW. Although it could be a misdirection.
Morena could play the soft, vulnerable, strong from the inside.

Sunday, September 3, 2006 7:37 AM

I've never been a big WW fan, I always put her in the same category as Aquaman, really nothing more than a background character. I understand I am in the minority with that sentiment, but I am interested in seeing what Joss will do with it. As for my 5 picks:

1. Jennifer Connelly
2. Kate Beckinsale
3. Eliza Dushku
4. Morena Baccarin
5. Charlise Theron

And just a side note, I can't believe anyone would want Jennifer Lopez in anything, let alone this movie. She's useless camera fodder that hasn't done anything worthwhile since the start of her career.

And as far as Gina playing WW, as much as I feel she could support it, I don't think it will work. Catwoman sucked, but a contributor to it's failure is the fact that they reimagined the character as black. It's not that african americans can't be super heroes, it's that most fanboys/girls can't handle change. I seem to remember someone on this board commenting that one of their problems with X-Men 3 was that the actress that played Kitty Pride was 'too short' and that Phoenix 'never wore green'. If they're going to get their tighty-wities in a twist over something as minor as that, an entire race change is a big deal.

Sunday, September 3, 2006 9:10 AM

I think that Joss should just throw away the whole WW idea. It should never take place. Joss should be thinking about directing the second season of Firefly, not some other movie.

If indeed, there is no way of making the second season or starting on our next BDM then I say, that it should be one of our fine ladies to star in it. People will start to notice her, find out what else she has done and find Firefly.

It would not be very cool if we had to wait for Firefly's progress because after this movie one of our actors was in the middle of something else (they need to eat too). Anything that is preventing Firefly from going forward is a bad idea.

As long as there is a chance, "like hitting a bull's eye from 60,000 miles away" (War stories) then I say we push on. If there is not a chance because someone has given up on us...well then that is a tragedy in itself. We will keep the faith, we will keep pushing, but will it be in vain? I hope not.....

BABYWITHTHEPOWER

Sunday, September 3, 2006 9:42 AM

Marine, let's not forget that Joss needs to eat too. And Joss has more passions than just Firefly. Angel was stolen from him (Joss found out like half way through the last season that he had to wrap everything up), and he fought to keep that on the air and lost. Fox doesn't care, they never have. They (Joss and his casts) and all of us can't hold out for a pipe dream most of us know is never going to come true. We got the BDM, and to be honest, it's more than I ever expected. Just be happy we still get the opportunity to see a creation of Joss', whatever it may be, come to life.

Greek women aren’t exactly known for their height. Amazons were though, but I’m not sure there are any historical records that describe them that way.

But, if tall is an important factor that’s a pretty strong discriminent. Here’s a few celebrities suggested so far with, with their heights. This data is not scientific – meaning I just quickly googled the lot of it.

Kate Beckensale – 5’8”
Jessica Beil – 5’8”
Terry Ferrel – unknown
Jennifer Lopez – 5’6”
Selma Hayek – 5’2”
Kira Knightly – 5’7”
Ana Beatriz Barros – 5’ll”
Anne Hathaway – 5’8”
Jennifer Connelly – 5’8”
Kristanna Loken – 5’ll”
Lindsay Lohan –5’5”
Morena Baccarin – 5’7.5”
Paz Vega – 5’8”
Catherine Zeta-Jones – 5’7”
Eliza Dushku – 5’5”
Rachel Bilson – 5’2”
Jessica Alba – 5’7”
Angelina Jolie – 5’7”
Gina Torres – 5’10”
Halle Berry – 5’7”

If I saw Anne Hathaway sportin a six pack I might change my attitude, but right now she’s just way too Disney.

I don't think height is quite that important. Actors can always be made to look bigger or smaller (e.g. Wash looking smaller than Zoe even though in actuality he is taller). I think what is more important is the build so that WW doesn't look too scrawny.

Okay, so yeah, that’s pretty anti-Disney, although I’m not sure it makes her any more Wonder Womanish though, which, come to think of it, should be at least a little bit Disney.

I did see Halle Berry, but I didn’t check to see what context. I missed Lawless though, who would actually make a good Wonder Woman, though I suspect she’s a bit older then people are looking for. Same with Farrell.

And yeah, I completely missed Erica Durance, or possibly someone just posted a picture without a name, and I didn’t know who it was. There are several pictured ladies in this thread that I guess I’m supposed to know, but don’t. So there are probably several people I left out.

My first post is pictures only, but miss Lawless is my number four pick (she would be higher if she were a little younger) and miss Durance is number two. I didn't post names because I wanted to see what people just thought of the look. Maybe I should have...
And Halle Berry was just mentioned in the context of "Catwoman" and how many people got pissy about her race. Though as I said before, most seemed a lot more pissed about the story and charater behavior than the race of the character.
