Who would you cast as Wonder Woman?

Jennifer Connelly:

you want someone bigger (WW is all about cleavage - I know sexist but...)

I glad someone finally said the truth... nice picture also but this is the day of the wonder bra and pushup bra I think that’s handled well enough like that so its really about the height. (of course the actress is going to agree to the “wonderfulness” of her costume and a dye job if she does indeed need one.)

 

[ShrinkyLink]

Why is that?

There was apparently some bad blood between Carpenter and Whedon as Angel finished its run. One of the things that didn't go over well was Carpenter getting a rosary tattooed on her wrist--which had to be covered up in camera since Angel would recoil at such a thing. There were a small truckload of rumours about things that went on between them. It's telling how Carpenter's character ended the series in a coma, with only one 'reappearance' before the series ended.

Having said that, Carpenter has shown some prowess in basic martial arts, so Whedon could do worse.

Katie Holmes? Maybe as Wonder Girl. Or Beard Girl, for that matter....

but that is not her in the costume, just her face on the body.

Lacy:

Wow she's certainly grown

 

[Ranger REG]

No she's Welsh

well actually her Mother is Irish, father is Welsh

What about any of Catherine Zeta-Jones's grandparents?

Anyhoo...

Not to sound skeptical, but how do you write a screenplay for Wonder Woman that would be appealing to the modern movie audience (not just the genre audience)? Do you stick to the traditional comic book origin? Do you go with the "woman who found a relic and bam!" approach?

I'd take the relic approach.

 

[Mouseferatu]

I'd take the relic approach.

I'd have to disagree. I think making WW anything other than an amazon princess from a distant and mystic isle--no matter how cheesy that may actually sound--is no more acceptable than it would be to make Superman anything other than a child from another world, or Bruce Wayne anything but someone who lost his parents and is stuck in a cycle of revenge.

If you're going to do the character, do the chracter. If you're not, make up a new one.

An origin movie for Wonder Woman couldn't be simpler:

Adapt George Pérez's relaunch of the character, from 1987, a.k.a. The Ares Saga. You have a strong villain (Pérez's Ares could be a villain of Darth Vader-proportions), a very strong female lead, complex relationships (like Vanessa Kapatelis, who doesn;t want her boyfriend anywhere near that Miss Universe-wannabe), loads of action sequences and a very well done pacifist message.

I think it's a push-up bra she's wearing... looks nice, though.

Well the traditional origin, as in her true origin, would surely be controversial and would probably get a PG13 rating if they hit up on her original weaknesses a few times. (bondage)

That said, as always I would hope they would stay as consistent to the character as possible.
