More Live Action WONDER WOMAN News

More exciting news about the long anticipated film.

IESB has gotten some more news on the WONDER WOMAN front from inside the Warner Bros. camp.

A while back I told you that the live action Wonder Woman film was gaining life wiht at WB and Silver Pictures had been picking up speed as of late. So far they have been on the hunt for new writers and were taking pitches.

Now, IESB has gotten another tidbit of news, looks like WB and Silver Pictures are now looking for a director. The studios are enthusiastically working together to attach elements to the film to get it up and going quickly.

No word yet on who the leading actress will be, it will probably be given to someone like Angelina Jolie unfortunately.

I think that if they want to be true to the source material they should cast an actual Greek actress for the role. I saw an actress in Europe who would be amazing in it.

Dimitria Matsouka. She is one of the most popular actress's in Greece, and Southern Europe. She was born in Athens in 1974. She graduated from the prestigious Athens Dramatic School in 1998. She has stared in some of the most popular shows in Greece, and Southern Italy. She was amazing in the Italian film El Greco in 2007, yes I saw it in Greece, you should definatley check it out in the foreign film section of your local movie store.



Here is a short clip from one of her shows


And here is the trailer for El Greco so you can here a little bit of her voice in English.

Just watched trailer for El Greco. Saw her speaking english so ok. It would be nice to hear that accent.

Wasn't Wonder Woman chosen in a contest? Then why not do a sort of casting-contest to choose the actress? It would add background too.

Success recipe: luxury supporting actors and a great soundtrack.

P.D: Could anyone add to the main page the release date of Green Lantern, please? 17th December 2010

Merinator - OH GOD, that's a HORRIBLE idea! I can see it now... a reality TV show called "Amazon Idol". Three judges (Simon Cowell, Billy Blanks from 'Tae-Bo' fame, and "Knight Rider's" David Hasselhoff) judge contestants in a weekly elimination series to see who has the acting talent and fighting skill to be the next Wonder Woman!


... and now I'm off to projectile vomit...

I always thought the way hot Angie Harmon would make a good Wonder Woman

Not bad. Nice to see them actually moving on something.

Monica Bellucci for Hippolyta.

Hmm...idk, she's pretty yes, she can act, I'll give her that...but I'm not feeling "Wonder Woman" when I see her...but then again, i could be proven wrong if she gets the part, but I'm not to hip on her as WW

I lost all interest when the dropped the perfect person for making this film. I am not a huge fan of the character, but with Joss Wheadon attached I actually wanted to see it. This role is very hard to cast because we can say we want a greek actress or we can say we want an attractive woman, but deep down we all know that to be belieable at all she has to have some size to her she can't be 5'8 125 pounds. Larger actresses that are actually attractive are few and far between if there actually are any. Let alone adding in that she has to be greek according to some. I don't think it's possible to properly cast this film.

DUDE, SHE HAS TO LOOK HOT, ACT GOOD, AND BE AVAILBLE.

Merinator - 3/30/2009, 5:13 AM
Of course I wasn't thinking of anything as "American Idol", that would be foolish. But giving some fighting tests during the casting would be a good idea.

i still think charisma carpenter (angel and buffy) should be given the roll.

LEEE777 - 3/30/2009, 8:25 AM
JESSICA BIEL!!!! She's just perfect for the role!!!
LEEE777
LEEE777 - 3/30/2009, 8:27 AM
Though this chic seems okay, just don't know her??? As for MEGAN GALE, i think she got shelved with the JUSTICE LEAGUE movie! Could she even act?? Still any of these a million times than BEYONCE lmfao!!! : D
Betty
Betty - 3/30/2009, 9:12 AM
I still think megan gale could do it.

WW2

LEEE777 - 3/30/2009, 9:32 AM
Yep Betty, that sure looks like WONDER WOMAN to me!!! Who ever they pick i hope they keep the costume, they better!!! Some costumes you cant touch! Like this one!!! ; )

The only reason I want this movie to be good is so that they can segue into a JLA movie...

Gale really seems like she has the stuff. It all depends on what director Silver gets.

ThunderCougarFalconBird - 3/30/2009, 10:09 AM
@LEEE777 - I'd like to touch that costume!

Kate Beckinsale, like a lot of other names flying around sound good to start with but they are all too small, we're talking an amozonian woman here! We need to be looking along the lines of female wrestlers, only more credible. You know what I'm saying...
Merinator
Merinator - 3/30/2009, 10:31 AM
I think Megan Gale will take the lead role, so they can make the Justice League film more credible. I hope she can indeed perform well: I want to see how good can be a Wonder Woman film.

deadpool87 - 3/30/2009, 12:02 PM
if they want to go w/named actress, Jessica Biel woundn't be a bad choice, cus even though Blade 3 "sucked"(ha-ha)she pulled off the physicality quite well, and she's [frick]ing hot.

I think Wonder Woman needs to be tall 5'11-6. I think she needs to be strong, toned, well defined but not a female wrestler like say Chyna. Wonder Woman was strong without sacrificing her femininity as I always say. She needs to have the raven hair and the blue eyes. She must be a credible actress with credible fighting skills to better portray Wonder Woman on screen and bring her to life. And putting contacts on them is just not the same for example JEssica ALba in Fantastic 4. I kept wondering what was off..IMO.

Megan Gale has the look and the height, we dont know about the acting or fighting. Kate Beckinsale has got the acting range but not the height. Is there no one in between?

Dimitra is pretty, exotic, sultry look, has the voice to command I think but doesnt have the look of our WOnder WOman in the more traditional way tht most of us want to see nor the height. If we are going to go with someone who is 5'7 and exotic looking then what about Aishwarya Rai from The Last Legion with Colin Firth? I have seen her pictures and her looks really strike out at you.

I dont know but I say someone who is right there in the middle is Jody Lynn O'keefe all the way. She has the no nonsense dont play with me look, the height of 5'10, the look dark hair & blue eyes, does fighting. I lways choose her as my fav or Lena Heady (too short 5'5) or Emily Deschanle 5'9.

I have heard of Ivana Milicevic she is 5'10.5 from Casino Royal but like Aishwarya Rai I dont know her work only seen pictures. Does anyone know them?

Merinator... I know who you dont like... =:) But who do you prefer? so far..

SpiderBat209
SpiderBat209 - 3/30/2009, 12:29 PM
Beil, Beckinsale, or O'Keefe. I CAN'T DECIDE!!!

A female wrestler might be good, but none of the current Fighters have Wonder Woman's look. Beth Phoenix is not quite WW, neither is any other WWE or TNA wrestler.

Bridget Reagen's still my top pick. Purrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. :)
KeepItReal
KeepItReal - 3/30/2009, 12:33 PM
Deadpool87...Jessica Biel sure did! I would love that the Wonder WOman they do pick in the end will have her physique! She is toned & strong athletic could take care of biz. Thats what Wonder WOman needs. Jessica is also 5'7.

spiderman209..purrr!! lol..It's just fun picking! So many to choose from.
shibazz
shibazz - 3/30/2009, 12:58 PM
I like her and so does my miss lady! we are in
SpiderBat209
SpiderBat209 - 3/30/2009, 1:09 PM
@KeepitReal: Yeah, I'm not gonna front. Beautiful Tough Girls (such as Beil and Bridget) are my weakness. I turn into a helpless kitten around them, hence the purring.

My ex-wife can't stand it: "Who are you dating now? Does she make you purr? She makes you Purr, huh? What do you mean she make you "Meow?!" lol

I'm a bad bad kitty! :)

Maybe Tricia Helfer with Black long hair?
tjdr59
tjdr59 - 3/30/2009, 2:14 PM
this movie is doomed. the producers are dead set on casting actors who barely speak english. its just a symptom of bad decision making. They will make the entire movie really awful.
Merinator
Merinator - 3/30/2009, 2:23 PM
I am seeing Prison Break right now. Judging Jody without seeing the character, I can say that she has a face a bit squared, nothing more.

I have thinked a detail about Ivana Milicevic, but I don't know enough languages to assure it: she was borned in Sarajevo, so perhaps she can speak english with a bit of balcanic accent like greek, I think that both serbian and greek come from the same slavic language families.

If you want to see both Tricia Helfer and Ivana Milicevic, they have performed in the Command & Conquer Tiberian Sun and Red Alert 3 respectively.

Of course Tricia Helfer is easier to be seen in Gallactica.

Another name: Jennifer Morrison and Olivia Wilde from House M.D. (they are Doctor Cameron and Thirteen respectively).

Posdata: I haven't picked a favourite actress yet, I would want to hear more unknown options. Perhaps if I see a photoshoped picture of Jody I would agree with you, KeepItReal, really.

I know Megan Gale.. She can't act.. in ITaly nobody was happy whit her for the JLA MOVIE. I don' understand Miller...bah

THEHAWK - 3/30/2009, 2:50 PM
This is just going to be one of those roles were everyone has their picks and finds faults with the others. No matter what they decide, we the fans will have issues with it.

I like the girl I picked up top, Dimitria Matsouka.
She is one of the most popular actresses over there, she graduated from Athens,
she has the look, she is beautiful,
she has the commanding voice that is nessasary to keep peoples attention on her performance, rather than her chest..

The ony flaws are her height, eyes, and the fact that she is not known to the American audience.

Whoever they decide on, I just hope its not some one like Angelina Jolie.

MarkCassidy - 3/30/2009, 2:53 PM
Tricia Hefler is gorgeous..but i dont think she has the right look for WW..Beckinsale is a weak actress...Biel would be good id say..but im sticking with Jolene Blalock for my pic, i mean do the words WONDER and WOMAN suit anyone better?

Merinator
Merinator - 3/30/2009, 3:00 PM
It is still possible that we have a good surprise. I looked with generous skepticism Heath Ledger as the Joker and see it now. May God keep him in His Glory, he did it too well.

What do you think about Jennifer Morrison or Olivia Wilde from House MD?
MarkCassidy
MarkCassidy - 3/30/2009, 3:04 PM
Also, im not sure if she still looks like this but check out Charisma Carpenter!..Pretty much a ringer for Diana id say



just ..torture!
