I heard reports that Lindsay Lohan wants to be WW.....

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!! !!!!!

Oh yes, babe.....

Herbie: Fully Loaded star Lindsay Lohan is desperate to play Wonder Woman in the forthcoming movie version of the comic book superhero. The 19-year-old Freaky Friday actress admits she'd like to showcase her talents outside of kid and teen films, but feels the role would be too fun to turn down. She says, "Wonder Woman would be cool. I'm trying to find roles right now that are different to anything I've done to show my abilities, to show that I have some sort of stretch in me. Because most of the things that I've done so far are aimed at younger girls and are light-hearted."

I'll say it again....

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!

I have been waiting so long for this movie... This pisses me off....

[buster00]

She speaks in the native tongue of Themyscera!

But only when she quaffs their native beverages.

[Leckomaniac]

If beer is the native beverage of Themyscera...then maybe Lohan would be perfect for the part.

[Flickerhead]

I base this prediction on several seconds of casual consideration: the movie will blow and it will fail miserably at the box office. Why? Because female superhero movies are no good. Elektra, Catwoman, Aeon Flux ... has there ever been a successful female superhero on the big screen? No. No, there has not. Add to this damning evidence the fact that nobody (except athenabodicea <g>) gives a teaspoon of sugar about Wonder Woman. She has a magic lasso and flies an invisible airplane. I mean, for fuck's sake ...

[Leckomaniac]

She also has magic bracelets that can deflect bullets!

Tomb Raider.

[buster00]

Flickerhead, I'm afraid you speak the truth...mostly. Things do look bleak for our darling Diana. Check out the latest example, Ultraviolet. Throw that one on the flop list too...and the budget was only $30 million!

Having a female lead in a successful, superhero-type action movie isn't entirely out of the question, however. Witness the two Charlie's Angels movies, the first Tomb Raider (OK, the sequel didn't do so well), and the Kill Bill flicks.

Warner's doing the right thing by getting a name (Whedon) to write the script; they'll probably keep costs down by getting a relative unknown to play the role (I'd bet on Charisma Carpenter -- she's the only name mentioned so far that makes sense), and it's a marketable character. They might turn over a buck on this yet. Maybe not a lot of bucks, but a buck.

(edit -- Adam posted while I was babbling...he got to Tomb Raider...)

[MasterWhedon]

I would totally die my hair black today and sleep on Whedons doormat in my invisible jet....Naked.. For three days.... Without food or water....

I would do almost anything.....

Pick me pick me

What are the chances Whedon would ever see that????

Seen and DONE.

ATHENABODICEA IS TO PLAY WONDER WOMAN IN MY WONDER WOMAN MOVIE!!

[Leckomaniac]

Oh wow congrats Athena!

And you did it all while you were drunk!

[wonkabar]

This is who they should get to play Wonder-Woman...

[Leckomaniac]

I think the fact that she already has her own wardrobe...is a real plus.

[Nachokoolaid]

I just read this entire thread for the first time, and I have to say WTF?

Do the mods have the power to post out of order or something?

I mean, it's like someone took the posts in this thread and shuffled them like a deck of cards.

And Lohan would suck the cockerel cock as WW.

I know people might hate the suggestion, but I actually think J-Lo could do well in the role. It would separate it a bit more from the TV show, and I think a latin Amazonian sounds cool. Make them all islanders or something.

[wonkabar]

No, there's some bugs. It's been happening all day.

[RogueScribner]

This thread took a strange turn in the night.



Everyone keeps mentioning Charisma Carpenter for Wonder Woman and I don't think she'd do bad in the role, but I just don't see it as happening. She's never carried a project before, she doesn't have much of a resumé outside of Whedon projects, and she's bit old for the concept Whedon seems to be going for.

I seriously think we're going to get someone in her 20s and it very well could be an unknown, but I think it's very likely it's someone we've seen before, an up and comer. I also wouldn't rule out an ethnic choice, as Nachokoolaid suggests.

At this point, I think Gina Torres, who has a more varied resumé than Charisma Carpenter, is more likely to get the role. The only thing I think that would hold her back is her age, if the movie is going where I think it's going. However, I may be misinterpreting some of Whedon's comments and we could certainly end up with a woman in her 30s.

Man, I think 5 - 6 years ago, Rachel Weisz would have been great!

[Nachokoolaid]

^^^ Hell, she'd still be great.

[athenabodicea]

What???? I think you must have donated your brain to science before you have finished using it....
Wonder Woman was really big back in the day & the dvd sales are doing well. The fact that Whedon is writing this is evidence in itself that this movie has great potential. I really can't believe this movie hasn't been done already. If they can find the right actress to play WW this should be fanfuckingtastic....

Having a female lead in a successful, superhero-type action movie isn't entirely out of the question, however. Witness the two Charlie's Angels movies, the first Tomb Raider (OK, the sequel didn't do so well), and the Kill Bill flicks.

THANK YOU!!!!!!!!

ATHENABODICEA IS TO PLAY WONDER WOMAN IN MY WONDER WOMAN MOVIE!!

Yes
Yes
Yes
Yes
Yes
Yes

Thank you Master Whedon...
I will not let you down.... Whoo hoo!!!!!

This is like a dream come true....lol

Oh wow congrats Athena!

And you did it all while you were drunk!

Is there any other way to do it???

I know people might hate the suggestion, but I actually think J-Lo could do well in the role.

No fucking way in hell.....
You're killing me here....

it very well could be an unknown

Hello McFly.....????!!!!!!

Dude, Carpenter's only 35, and looks much younger. Besides, she's TALL, for a girl...5' 7" plus heels on the boots equals Amazon!

Need I remind you that the most well known comic book character IN THE WORLD is being played this summer by...Brandon...

How do you pronounce his name? Seriously, I don't know. Rhymes with mouth or rhymes with tooth?

Ooo, Rachel Weisz wouldv'e been a good choice before she went all "Oscar"...she's also 5' 7".

(Run a Google image search for Charisma Carpenter...NSFW...you're welcome...)

[MasterWhedon]

I stand with the folks who think Carpenter is all wrong for the role. She's a beautiful woman, was great as Cordy, but is NOT Wonder Woman in any way.

There's an elegance, a regal nature about Wonder Woman. She's naieve to the world, yet clearly superior. Maybe its because she played ditzy Cordy all those years, but I just don't see her as any of those things.

And as good as she could be on Buffy and Angel, as much as I enjoyed her, I simply don't think Charisma Carpenter is a good enough actress to carry Wonder Woman.

Is that why you cast ATHENABODICEA as Wonder Woman?

[MasterWhedon]

Is that why you cast ATHENABODICEA as Wonder Woman?

You're damn straight. Athena has a grace, a poise, a sun-eating elegance I simply have not seen in another human being. She will be mah-velous.

[Nachokoolaid]

J LO
J LO
J LO

C'mon, get Joss on the phone. We want a WW with some hot latina attitude!

[Leckomaniac]

dude J.Lo???? I think not.

Hahahahahaha.....
I don't know about all that.....

Whatever....
But I do know how to use a lasso...
Plus I am 5'9"...
Which puts me at 6 feet tall with those boots.....
Amazonian....


Can we work "Fanfuckingtastic" OR "Whoo hoo" into the script somehow???

EDIT: I jumped...

[Nachokoolaid]

I don't really prefer her. I'd just like to see an "ethnic" Wonder Woman. J Lo is just one of the only ones that I think have the chops to pull it off. (Think of Out of Sight).

Plus, it seems to get under Athena's skin, and that's fun.

I'll work it in. It might have to be more a "fanfuckingtastic-age" or a "hoo of the woo variety", but I'll see what I can do.
