[WildEyedLiberal]

1. Jennifer Connelly

I think she'd be perfect.

[pokerfan]

3. I could see that

I could also see Catherine Zeta-Jones.

[mitchum]

8. Yessss!

[NewJeffCT]

14. good choice

I could see her in the role, and I think she is fairly tall, no?

[charlie and algernon]

2. Emma Rossum

[RFKHumphreyObama]

24. Emmy Rossum that is

[no name no slogan]

4. William Shatner

[Richardo]

16. .

:D

[EndersDame]

5. Gina Fucking Torres

Just watch any episode of firefly. She IS Wonderwoman

[Nicole Lambeth]

17. YES! I love Miz Torres!

Anyone who has seen Firefly knows how much butt she kicks.

[no name no slogan]

18. I was just watching me some Firefly last night

between that and her work on Cleopatra 2525, she's a shoe-in.

[Nicole Lambeth]

19. Maybe we need to start a Browncoats thread....

I'll bet there are a lot of us out there.

I haven't seen Cleopatra 2525, but I'll go by Hollywood and see if I can rent it. I loved all the actors in Firefly, but Gina was definitely one of my top faves.

It would be horrifying, but frankly fun.

He should smoke cigars the whole time. Kind of a Comedian/Wonderwoman/Crossdressing kind of crossover character. Plus his primary weapon wont be an invisible plane, but an invisible computer he uses to hack goverment systems, which he'll use to solve every episode!

:D

[Dr. Strange]

11. What's the difference between a Marine and an Amazon?

Lipstick

[mainegreen]

12. .....

I shouldn't laugh.

but I did.

:D

[Deja Q]

7. Chris Pine

Here he is looking up women's dresses:












:yoiks:

[BOSSHOG]

9. Geena Davis

[GoddessOfGuinness]

10. Melissa Etheridge

Ok, maybe she doesn't look the part; but her voice oozes Wonder Woman.

[Fire Walk With Me]

13. No one can possibly replace Lynda Carter (swoon!) but I'd say Fran Drescher because

all she'd have to do is whine and enemies would scatter post-haste.

[Mojambo]

23. If you want to recreate the Lynda Carter look (and who wouldn't?) Sarah Lancaster is worth a look

And here's a bad shop-job as Wonder Woman.

[Deja Q]

25. Oh mr Sheffield!!

[mitchum]

15. Whoever takes the role will be tied up for awhile

[Dr Fate]

35. LOL- Wertham references. Only on DU. n/t

n/t

[NewJeffCT]

20. Eliza Dushku

she's intense, a hot brunette, and she can kick ass.

[Cant trust em]

22. She's too young.

I think whoever plays her should be in her early thirties. More of a strong woman than a young girl.

On a side note, I happened to come across Ms. Dushku on Access Hollywood or something talking about her ideal man. She said that she needs someone that she can talk to about current events and socio-economics. It really came off like she heard that big word somewhere and thought that by using it, it would make her sound smart. It induced a chuckle on my end.

[NewJeffCT]

28. Dushku will be 30 next year

and has been politically active for years. She'd probably be 30 or 31 by the time the movie came out, which is a good age to start a trilogy of movies.

Plus, she's several years older than Megan Fox, who turned down the role.

[Cant trust em]

31. Yeah. She still seems too young

Megan Fox would have been awful also. Maybe 40 is the new 33.

[NewJeffCT]

38. For the sequel, Dushku would then be 33-34

so, mid 30s...

[DatManFromNawlins]

33. No, she's the perfect age

Wonder Woman is supposed to look like she's in her mid 20s. She has always been portrayed as appearing about 7-10 years younger than Batman and Superman, who traditionally never age past 35.

[rcrush]

21. Susan Boyle

[travelingtypist]

26. Angelina Jolie

She kicks ass with the best of them.

[NewJeffCT]

29. Probably the best overall choice...

she's tall and can fill out the costume nicely, but would she take the role?

[PassingFair]

45. She's the least likely to be type-cast because of it.

She's already so famous.

[NewJeffCT]

48. and, surprisingly

she's still young enough to play WW in 3-4 movies. I had thought her around 40 because she's been around for so long, but she's 34 tomorrow, June 4.

[foxfeet]

27. Betty White.

[Broken_Hero]

30. Honestly,

http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000295/

I can only hope....

[NewJeffCT]

40. She would certainly be a good choice, too

she certainly has the action movie chops.

[Swede]

32. Jessica Biel should be considered.

[XemaSab]

34. My former downstairs neighbor:

[NewJeffCT]

43. she's cute, but who is she?

just curious.

[XemaSab]

44. Alex Breckenridge

(And you'd better believe she was some kind of jailbait at age 12. :P )

[NewJeffCT]

49. Thanks

and she was from Darien CT, so I like her already as a CT Native... though, Darien is a different world with homes averaging around $1 million or so.

She's tall enough, being listed at 5'7 1/2"

[jeff30997]

36. Midlo should be in the mix.

She cracked a lot of nuts in her life.Ouch!

[NewJeffCT]

39. She might be too mean to pull it off, though

Perhaps the arch-villainess in the movie?

[tainted_chimp]

37. RuPaul

[Blue_Tires]

41. i'm glad Fox turned down the role...she would have fucked it up

people are forgetting WW appearance-wise is supposed to be three things: TALL(6+ ft), BUSTY, and MUSCULAR...Some of these 5-foot-nothing 102-pounders mentioned in this thread are ALL wrong...

[NewJeffCT]

42. I don't remember Lynda Carter being muscular?

she was tall - 5'9" IRL - and busty, certainly.

But, Jennifer Connelly is certainly tall enough, but is slimmer than she was 8-10 years ago. Kate Beckinsale is also pretty tall, as is Angelina Jolie. Both Beckinsale & Jolie have done good jobs in action movie roles as well.

Eliza Dushku is only 5'5", so may be a little short, but if they can make 6'1" John Rhys-Davies into Gimli the Dwarf, they can certainly make her appear taller on screen.

[PassingFair]

46. What's Lucy Lawless doing these days?

She'd be GREAT!

[NewJeffCT]

47. She was Deanna on Battlestar Galactica

but, not sure what she's up to since. Might be a bit too old for a franchise movie, though.

[LostinVA]

50. Sarah Michelle Gellar

[NewJeffCT]

52. good action hero and good actress, but too petite, I think

Isn't she like 5'2"?

[LostinVA]

53. Yes -- she does have legit martial art skills and rank

And, she's a natural brunette.

[Bucky]

51. Robert Downy Jr.

Ha! JJ, folks--only Lucy Lawless can do the role justice.
