Wonder Woman Casting Continues...

[Klaus]

Without trying to spoil you, the beginning of the film start with Superman returning to Earth after searching for his home planet Krypton. In a way, it takes place after Donner's Superman films (complete with Brando as Jor-El). A few scenes later, we find him back in his old familiar costume hovering over Earth and then had a flashback scene of his childhood, most of which is shown on trailers (Bryan Singer had to cut down the flashback scene so much).

So, is Wonder Woman going to be that kind of film, where it starts in the middle and flashed back to her life on Amazon Island and her coming of age? Or shall we start from the beginning, as in Spider-Man? I mean how do you tell the tale of Wonder Woman to the mainstream without looking like them cheesy girlie flick (e.g., Legally Blonde, Clueless, Confession of a Teenage Drama Queen, etc.)?

By making it 3 hours long and using George Pérez's 1987 Wonder Woman relaunch (Gods & Mortals) as the basis of the movie. You have a strong yet naive lead, a clash of cultures, an older mentor, a starstruck kid and a Darth Vader-level villain.

The movies you described have only one thing in common: They will both have female leads. I don't think there is any reason to believe that it will be a "cheesy girlie flick."

Indeed. Female lead could just as easily mean Monster, Dancer in the Dark, or Monster's Ball. Or, to be less flip, Underworld, Ultraviolet, or Aeon Flux. Oops, that one trailed off badly. Ok, then Million Dollar Baby, V for Vendetta, or Tomb Raider. Bah, you get the idea! Alien, Silkwood, Erin Brockovich, Norma Rae, All About Eve, Adam's Rib, Jackie Brown, Silence of the Lambs, Contact, Whale Rider, Frida, Kill Bill, La Femme Nikita, the list goes on and on.

You mean the "Coming to America" theme?

Ehh. I prefer the "Princess Diaries" theme better.

Comparing "Gods and Mortals" to "Coming to America" (great movie, btw) is...

The story deals with the escalating power of the God of War in a world with evergrowing hatred, violence and marching nonstop towards Armageddon.

It shows key personalities in both American and Soviet (now would be Russian) militaries that want nothing better than to push the button.

It shows a young woman, blessed by the powers of old, chosen from before birth to stand against the God of War and show how to save mankind from itself.

It shows a superpowered beauty flying about kicking the crap out of monsters, zombies and demigods.

It shows Wonder Woman praying naked! NEKKID, I tell you!

What more can we ask?

Considering that the island of the Amazons are full of women only ... to my horny mind, what do you think?

Um, yeah. Klaus wants it to a Brazilian-produced telenovela. After all, Brazil is the home of Oscar-winning talented stacked actresses.
