Joss Whedon to Write/Direct Wonder Woman
bigbear writes "'Buffy the Vampire Slayer' and 'Firefly' creator Joss Whedon has signed on to write and direct the big screen adaptation of the DC Comics character Wonder Woman. The film is being produced by Joel Sliver ('The Matrix'). No word yet on who will play the "iconic female heroine of our time.""
Winona Ryder as Wonder Woman!!!!

Sorry, but politial correctness and the overwhelming concern for decency these days will force them to redesign her skimpy suit, and make it into a business power suit. It will still be red white and blue though.
What's Hollywood going to do when they've finished making a movie for each super hero?
Vin Diesel as Wonder Woman!
Halle Berry as Wonder Woman. Skin tight clothes, gratuitous body shots, no plot. Why, it'll be a box office smash!
That is all.
How to solve most of our problems: 1.Lots of nuclear plants. 2.Cure aging.
I just hope its not Halle Berry...
If programs would be read like poetry, most programmers would be Vogons.
now I know everyone here want to see Natalie Portman as wonder-woman, but what about Angela Lansbury?. It certainly would be unexpected, and I for one have come to expect the unexpected..
air and light and time and space
...is just terribly dated no matter how you look at it.
Therefore, to compensate for that, the outfit needs to be a lot skimpier. Enough skin and we won't notice the datedness.
The coolest voice ever.
When is "What If..?" the motion picture coming out?
Ah yes, the classic female heroine: able to leap ATM Machines in a single bound, able configure NIC Cards with her eyes closed, and never forgets PIN Numbers!

Joss has a real talent for writing amazing scripts and making characters memorable. Buffy was amazing, so was Angel, and the little bit I have seen of Firefly, I liked. Characters like Willow, Spike, Darla, Drusilla will live on forever, great writing is key, and Joss is a master. I have faith in Joss to make this a good movie, safe to say, way better than Catwoman
That was Linda Carter, and she was such a sweet little goody-two-shoes I'm still amazed she didn't end up with diabetes. (Not her fault, but the scripts and direction. The only thing about her that wasn't wasted in the role was her good looks.)

I love(d) Buffy and Angel... but somehow firefly didn't have the same magic. ...many people will probably disagree with me anyway
I disagree. :) I find both Angel and Buffy to be too cheesy, to the point of being painful to watch. I know a number of people who like both, but if either starts playing, I change the channel or leave the room. I thought Firefly, on the other hand, was very well done. The dialogue was much, much better and I thought the cast was quite talented. I guess it is all just a matter of preference.
Wonder Woman will be played by Charisma Carpenter [google.com]
Here is a picture of her on the set.
Should be as successful as firefly.

How about Anna Nicole Smith or Pamela Sue Anderson or maybe Petra Verkaik? - NOTE: Petra last name might not be spelled correctly.
I'm sure either one could fill Wonder Woman's shoes admirably! :)
I have a bumber sticker in my cubicle that says
Please let it be Monica Bellucci, please. A Wonder Woman with an italian accent is really not that big a deal, right? C'mon. Please. Please?
As long as she is well fit and they include an explicit lesbian scene with catwoman which occupies say the middle third of the movie.
Do not try to read the dupe, thats impossible. Instead, only try to realize the truth
What truth?
There is no dupe
Tank girl is in it?
was the "iconic female heroine of our time." Wonder Woman was your grandparents' Buffy.
Sheesh, evil *and* a jerk. -- Jade
Supposedly both Sarah Michelle Gellar and Charisma Carpenter are being pushed, one by Joss and one by the studio. Personally, I think Charisma can pull it off better, if only because she has the height. I don't picture Wonder Woman as 5-foot-and-change.

"your grandparents' buffy."
female heroine
Is it just me, or is that a violation of my patent on "Redundancy, or Saying the Same Thing Twice (US PAT# 384015367)?"
I mean, have you ever heard of a male heroine? (remember, mail heroin is a different matter.)
Hey editors, you owe me some money to license that patent.

Whedon's enough of a fanboy he's *got* to try and get Carter to do a cameo as the Amazon queen/WW's mother.
Angelina Jolie...rrrrowwwr! Or Catherine Zeta Jones if Angelina turns it down.
GET FREE APPLE STUFF!
Iconic female heroine of our time...
Condoleeza.... Or Hillary...
Lucy Lawless and Bruce Campbell
Need any more names be offered? I don't think so.
Charlize Theron, but she's already playing Aeon Flux.
I'm not good in groups. It's difficult to work in a group when you're omnipotent. - Q
Not that I think she should play the roll, but I hear "female" and "heroine" and I think of Courtney Love.

Goatse and tubgirl now have some serious competition for Slashdot-induced psychological trauma...
John Maynard Keynes: "When the facts change, I change my mind. What do you do?"
She'd be great. She's gorgeous, fit, but probably "too cool" for such a role.
I dunno. I think the "from the TV show" cameo is wearing thin. Lou Ferrigno in The Hulk, Stan Lee in everything (although he was smarter than I and avoided The Punisher). Then you have the TV shows (Starsky and Hutch) doing the same thing.
I'm now just looking for a smart update of the material without any hipster/Gen X *wink wink/nudge nudge* masquerading as content.
What is music when you despise all sound?
There was also plenty of ass behind the camera.
Judging from past experience, Whedon will want to cast a relative unknown in the part, which will allow him to impose his own vision on the character. Except that the studios will definitely insist on a Big Name, for all the usual reasons. And they probably won't want the same kind of actor that Whedon will want. Which sets the stage for some nasty conflicts. Which, come to think of it, is exactly what has happened with every project Whedon has been involved with -- with the possible exception of the TV version of Buffy. Truth is, if I were a movie studio, I'd be very wary of the dude.
Don't get me wrong, I do enjoy and admire a lot of Whedon's work. But he's never seemed to be able to deal with making TV or movies as a truly collaborative process. At least, that's my explanation for why he's no longer friendly with a lot of the people he helped to success. And why Buffy became unwatchable as soon as Whedon started delegating its production.
To be precise, she just made us uninterested in sex for a little while. But we've recovered.

Daaaaaah. Retinas...burning.
Seems like the only reason I've posted in the last 5 years is to point out my UID.
Wil Wheaton.
Eliza Dushku could play the role better than either SMG or Charisma Carpenter.
1) She looks more like wonder woman
2) shes a better actress than either of them
3) She has a bigger box office draw than either of them
4) Shes more physically impressive
5) Shes got the right color hair...without dye
6) Shes only 26...shes young enough for a sequel
So being *dead* now just counts as a disability?
First of all, the proper term for refering to the recently departeted is not 'death', it's "pre-decompisitionary". And secondly, if there is a better catagory for disabled then pre-decopisitionary, I've never seen it.
And I don't see any major challenges for exhuming the grave of Reeves so he can play super-man as a pre-decompisitionary differenlty abled character. We have some pretty good acting coaches to help out.
The Internet is generally stupid
