Wonder Woman

Ain’t It Cool recently reported that Buffy creator Joss Whedon is to write and direct a movie version of Wonder Woman.

This has got the gang thinking – who should play Wonder Woman? I’ll be honest – we’re stumped. Andy suggested Eliza Dushku, but maybe she’s a bit young & MZA doesn’t want that spoiling his Huntress fantasy and I can’t disagree. My suggestion is obviously Tara Reid (link NSFW surprise, surprise) but I’d cast her in everything. I genuinely believe though that there’s a slutty side to Wonder Woman which Linda Carter just didn’t bring to life. Whedon himself has dropped a hint (“Where will I find a dark-haired olive-skinned beauty?”) that it may be the relatively unknown Morena Baccarin who certainly looks the part. She wouldn’t bring any of the baggage that could come with a more established “beauty” such as Angelina Jolie. Andy also suggested tubgirl, which is radical but could lead to censorship issues if she were to say “Stop or I shoot”. (Please, if you don’t know who/what tubgirl is don’t Google it. Especially if you’re my mother. It can do no good.)

So come on people – who would you cast as Wonder Woman? Best answer gets a no expenses paid trip to the Tuesday quiz at The Royal Stag in Datchet with my good self. Seriously, if you’ve never done a pub quiz with a bald cynic who can drink his own bodyweight in 2 hours you haven’t lived.
