Although we may not see the Amazonian princess on the big screen for some time, we will see her grace our tv screens at some point. Apparently WB/DC are already on the hunt for a lady to don the lasso and gauntlets. And WhatsPlaying report that model turned actress Tanit Phoenix is on their watch list..
My contact passes on a rumor that the actress has actually already spoken to key members of the production team and expressed interest… and they’re (that includes some suits at Warner Bros, whom she did The Thirst with) apparently big fans, so her name will undoubtedly be amongst the four or five young actresses that are ultimately shortlisted for the role of the Amazonian princess. “She will definitely get to screen test”, says an insider.
Phoenix certainly looks the part. She's 5'9 and all kinds of gorgeous. Aside from
The Lost Boys movie she has appeared in
Lord Of War with Nicholas Cage, a few straight to dvd flicks and has been cast in the lead for HBO's upcoming show
Femme Fatales. All we know about this WW show is that it will be written and produced by David E.Kelley, and also according to WhatsPlaying,
"... will kick off in telemovie form in 2011, will reportedly fix on a contemporary Diana Prince.. Keep and eye on CBM for updates.
