nearly 5'11" according to IMDB. Tall. Plus, she could buff up if needed, I'm sure.

Except, you know, that they wouldn't.

Princess Stacey

]]> <![CDATA[Wonder Woman Movie Resurrected in the Wake of JLA Movie Death?]]> I want to see Josh Whedon's script. But if it's not going in that direction make it campy and for the love of God give Olivia Munn the role.

Or Megan Fox.

Really, you're going to hurt yourself if you keep this up.

Bob_of_Mars

]]> <![CDATA[Wonder Woman Movie Resurrected in the Wake of JLA Movie Death?]]> @JennaW: No, Jennifer Garner should play the part. After all she did such a great job playing a tall, dark haired, Greek woman in Elektra.

Westender

braak

]]> <![CDATA[Wonder Woman Movie Resurrected in the Wake of JLA Movie Death?]]> @aspiringexpatriate: This is not necessarily true! There remains a fair amount of debate as to whether "Amazon" means "One-breasted" or "Large breasted."

]]> <![CDATA[Wonder Woman Movie Resurrected in the Wake of JLA Movie Death?]]> I'm so glad the JLA movie is dead. That thing was turning into a fail buffet more and more, with every update and rumor.

How the hell are they gonna translate Wonder Woman's costume to real life?

There's an invention called "the corset":
Every ladies' man must know it.
It presses in, boned,
Pushes up, enthroned,
And in general is built to show it.

wonder woman clearly has junk.

Sadly, those are the same reasons why I was looking forward to it.

That and the rumors of exploding wolverines.

]]> <![CDATA[Wonder Woman Movie Resurrected in the Wake of JLA Movie Death?]]> Now if Silver could only get the Wachowskis to reinvent this like they did Speed Racer, we'd be onto something interesting.

Give a 10-minute opening "War of the Ring" type sequence that has an epic Greek mythology feel and 300/LOTR look to it. Get WW to Man's World by the end of Act 1. Make her a warrior, like WW in the JL New Frontier. Establish she exists in the same world as Superman and other powerful, crazy costumes. Establish her as someone who does not need men, and maybe even give us a scene with Superman, where she tells him to fuck off, like in New Frontier. And then... well, that's the writers' job, not mine.

But get Megan Gale to be WW!! She was cast as WW in the Justice League movie, and she is perfect!

Monsieur.Mind

]]> <![CDATA[Wonder Woman Movie Resurrected in the Wake of JLA Movie Death?]]> Well, if they did the origin story about how she tries to start her mission in "man's world" it could be good.

I'm all for a WW movie -- but I will cut them if they cast Jessica Biel to star.

No kidding. I will fuck their shit up.

]]> <![CDATA[Wonder Woman Movie Resurrected in the Wake of JLA Movie Death?]]> My mistake. I was confusing him with Jon Peters.

TheGreat&PowerfulTurtle

]]> <![CDATA[Wonder Woman Movie Resurrected in the Wake of JLA Movie Death?]]> I'm not looking forward to this for three reasons:

- Joss Whedon expressed interest in it
- How the hell are they gonna translate Wonder Woman's costume to real life?
- This is gonna be campy like whoa.

Aethyr

]]> <![CDATA[Wonder Woman Movie Resurrected in the Wake of JLA Movie Death?]]> Joel is a tool and always has been. Wasn't he the one who pushed the giant mechanical spider in Wild, Wild West and wanted a more metrosexual Brainiac in the Nicholas Cage Superman movie?

TheGreat&PowerfulTurtle

]]> <![CDATA[Wonder Woman Movie Resurrected in the Wake of JLA Movie Death?]]> @aspiringexpatriate: Well, you can only go so hardcore and the one-breast aspect really was never a part of the comics anyway. In the comics they're immortal and don't have kids.

Macloserboy

]]> <![CDATA[Wonder Woman Movie Resurrected in the Wake of JLA Movie Death?]]> We've already seen this. It was called Bionic Woman. But I forget how that one turned out...

Dr. Futurity

]]> <![CDATA[Wonder Woman Movie Resurrected in the Wake of JLA Movie Death?]]> @Daveinva: Yes, because naked Spartans are every dude's masturbatory dream.

@Macloserboy: An island of Amazons would only have women with one breast, and well, that won't sell, even Xena knew that.

aspiringexpatriate

]]> <![CDATA[Wonder Woman Movie Resurrected in the Wake of JLA Movie Death?]]> @goldfarb: I don't know what you read, but it actually makes sense, which is the wonder of it all. He wasn't going to waste time with an origin story when Spider-man showed you could do it successfully. Then he was also worried that things like Paradise Island come across as silly, which is a valid fear and finally thought maybe if they went the Greek warrior route of 300 it might be better. I'm having trouble believing this is actually Joel Silver.

edosan

]]> <![CDATA[Wonder Woman Movie Resurrected in the Wake of JLA Movie Death?]]> So is Joss Whedon's script being resurrected too? If so, that would be awesome.

Shagohod

]]> <![CDATA[Wonder Woman Movie Resurrected in the Wake of JLA Movie Death?]]> for anyone who wonders why Joel Silver's movies are almost always such shit...just read that paragraph(?)...this is the guy deciding how movies are made...can you inaging being in a story meeting with this guy?
I could come up with a Wonder Woman origin story that deals with all the needed stuff and isn't totally stupid in about an hour...

goldfarb

]]> <![CDATA[Wonder Woman Movie Resurrected in the Wake of JLA Movie Death?]]> @Macloserboy: But dude's masturbatory dreams happen to *make money*.

Daveinva

]]> <![CDATA[Wonder Woman Movie Resurrected in the Wake of JLA Movie Death?]]> Didn't Byrne or Wolfman retcon the bracelets into reminders of the Amazon's enslavement (living in chains and all of that)? Why not start in Acient Greece and have the gods and goddesses take whatever's left of the Amazon nation/tribe to the magical island for 3,000 years. You can get into they why's and wherefores of Princess Diana (made of clay or whatever) and her discovery of the "world of men" as the second act.

]]> <![CDATA[Wonder Woman Movie Resurrected in the Wake of JLA Movie Death?]]> You know there's something wrong when Joel Silver has the best idea. Yes, Wonder Woman and the 300 Spartans come from the same Greeks. Treat Themysceria (not Paradise Island) like an island of warrior Amazons and less like some dude's masturbatory dream and you'll have something.
