Princess Diana of Themyscira
Linda Carter
The superhero movie has already peaked in popularity and in the pockets of the movie going public. Avengers has shown that it's still Hella money to be made though, and DC is scrambling to get a Justice League movie in theaters before the novelty money goes dry. Well dry or not, I would still like to see a live action Wonder Woman movie hit the big screen. It seems like this would be the easiest of all the DC movies to do.
Since Wonder Woman's story is mythological and being an Amazon grounds Diana into something realistic ( South American Warrior Women ). The movie should start with Paradise Island and her origins, the contest of champions that set up her rival with the Cheetah and at the end of the movie leave the island with Steve Trevor to join the Justice League as the emissary ambassador of the Themyscira.
But first comes first
who could be wonder Woman?
Don't really know her but when I saw her picture, I was like maybe. She looks just like a young Diana. She was an actress on daytime soap opera's and one of those kid shows before that. Somebody out there in the blogoshere will have to tell me if she can act.
Ms Everything!
This woman holds all the cards as far as I'm concerned. Don't know if she's Wonder Woman, but she could play any super heroine in my movie; for real though, she would be a perfect Ariel for a Thundarr the Barbarian movie.
well umm Kate has a super beautiful face and we know she can act but this body doesn't equal Amazon Warrior. When and if they do the movie, I hope DC remembers Diana is an Amazon. The real deal 6 foot 7 foot Brazilian Amazon. Pretty should only take you so far.
Now this chick right here. Gina Carano
Queen of the Octagon, and sure enough thick wit it. Could she be the one?
I saw this fan made Wonder Woman poster and had to bring
the topic to the table.
Who could be Diana Prince

Hey Omega, I completely agree that pretty can get you only so far! If/when DC decides to do a WW movie. They had better not forget that Princess Diana is an Amazon. And that ain't no joke. She needs to be beautiful, but she also need to be tough, compassionate and larger than life and capable of putting a beat down on the man of steel. I too saw that fan poster and felt like this IS Wonder Woman. somebody somewhere got it right. As you can see from my icon, I am a fan. So if DC decides to do this movie, they had better get it right.
ReplyDeleteI bet a thousand to one or what ever you bring to the table all Wonder Woman fans are saying the same thing. For her to be such an important character and this being her first movie, DC should go all out for her. An all star cast, Industrial light and magic, and all the special goodies that come with a Steven Spielberg or James Cameron movie should apply.
DeleteI would definitetly include Nubia in her origin with Ares taking Nubia and training her to be Diana's main foe in the movie. Then they both find out they're sisters and team up to fight the Cheetah and her titan, gorgon crew of bad guys.
have you ever seen the movie Haywire? i didn't much care for it as a film but it was worth watching just to see Carano's fight scenes. she gets my vote. i blogged about her before actually but in that case i was talking about her playing Lashina/Duchess.
ReplyDeleteI remember the post. A Wonder Woman movie would do for DC what those Clone Wars mini episodes did for Star Wars. They just can't get this thing wrong.
DeleteAshley Torres surely has the jaw line and beauty of the princess, but I need to check out Haywire to see what Carano is working with because so far she is the best choice out of this group. She just looks like a warrior!
ReplyDeleteShe doe's because she is just that, a Warrior. And Gina is pretty as well. She's that kind of pretty that doesn't look like your trying to seduce me with your every action, every smile or gesture. In the comic I like how people fall in the face of Diana's beauty and she is oblivious to it. Then with all that perfectness, body, hair and all she'll transform into a vicious gladiator of a woman; unrelenting fury and destruction upon an enemy. It's breathtaking.
DeleteNow, I'm a little torn. Because Kate Beckinsale definitely has the acting chops, and we all know she can do a good fight scene. I'm not even worried about her being out of shape, cause she can fix that right quick. But she's not exactly an Amazon, is she? I think if they cast her they would have to have a seriously good script, because it could not just rely on us immediately buying her as Wonder Woman.
ReplyDeleteThat being said, I'd rather have good acting than perfect body casting.
Honestly I would too, but in Wonder Woman's case you got to have both. Matter of fact all three, Beauty, body and acting. If they miss on the combination it's going to come off unbelievable. We already had a trash Green Lantern. who knows what one more failure like that would cause.
DeleteIf they go with Kate, I would hope she does a Christian Bale and transform her body to match the character. Hell, she's a celebrity. After the movie she can do a Jen Hudson on all the cheese cake and cookies that she ate, throw away the booty lift DVD and go back to her normal skinny self. Because we don't want Beckinsale, we want beat ass Amazon.
I would love to see Wonder Woman in a feature length movie also but, I don't want to see her prancing around in a bathing suit and bracelets. Just saying...
DeleteMe either, God that would be so vomit. I want a true Amazon Warrior.
Deletethis posting offers some good options for Wonder Woman bit Carano is it hands down as this fight scene from Haywire will prove once and for all: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J-kxpzReMXA
ReplyDeleteI vote for Carano too. She's got the beauty to remind just in case you think she's just good for kicking ass. She seems to embody that aspect of WW as that tough girl in a boys club that you might go for, but aren't sure because she looks like she could rip your arm off just as easily as kiss you.
ReplyDeleteOr rip your arm off if you tried to kiss her.
DeleteTru that. And dude...it hasn't been the same without you. The funhouse influence is missing.
DeleteI've been missing you guys like crazy too. Don't worry, I'm in the process of resuming operations again soon;)
