There has been talk of a Wonder Woman movie for quite some time now. I’ve never seen the Wonder Woman television series with Lynda Carter or read one of the comic books, so I thought I’d check it out.
Wonder Woman is Princess Diana of the Amazon warrior tribe. She was awarded several gifts by the Olympian gods, including the Lasso of Truth (created from the Golden Girdle of Gaea) and indestructible bracelets/gauntlets (formed from the shield Aegis).
From what I can tell Wonder Woman is the object of affection for many comic book fans and for those who loved the old TV show. There is plenty of fan work out there, like these Wonder Woman desktop wallpapers.
And of course with a lot of fans comes a lot of videos too, like this from G4TV.
Wonder Woman - A Life Of Fighting Crime
In terms of movie news not much is happening at all. Director Joss Whedon (Serenity) has pulled out, there is no completed script and no cast. So when can we expect to see the Wonder Woman movie? According to IMDB, not until 2009.
A likely reason for this is that they really want to get it right. There are two major comic book companies, Marvel and DC. Marvel have had big hits with the X-Men movies, Spider-Man, even though it was horrible The Fantastic Four and a lot in the works. All DC have done was a really bad Superman movie and a bunch of extremely bad Batman movies until Batman Begins came along.
One important aspect to getting it right and making a fantastic movie is the correct casting for Wonder Woman. Way back in 2001 Mariah Carey, Sandra Bullock, and Catherine Zeta-Jones were up for the role. In 2005 Charisma Carpenter, Morena Baccarin, and Sophia Bush were names being thrown around. More recently names like Taylor Cole, Jessica Biel and Kate Beckinsale have been thrown into the mix.
Straight away they can cross Mariah Carey off the list, that’s just crazy. Sandra Bullock, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Charisma Carpenter, Jessica Biel and Morena Baccarin don’t really fit the mold of my idea of Wonder Woman.
Which leaves Sophia Bush, Taylor Cole and Kate Beckinsale. Not know who the first two are, I’d have to take Kate Beckinsale. She’s tough, not a bad actress and looks hot as Wonder Woman.

So, who do you think would be the perfect fit to wear the Golden Bracelets and Lasso of Truth?








I love seeing Jessica Biel in anything! She gets my vote for sure!!!
She’s FOXY!
