Joss Whedon, creator of the forgetful TV series "Firefly", and it's doomed spinoff film "Serenity", is currently working on the script for a new, big screen production of "Wonder Woman" and hopes to go into production by the end of the year. While in my opinion no one can ever replace Linda Carter as the lasso-wielding supervixen (see photo above), several names are being tossed around...
1) Charlize Theron: If her recent attempt in "Aeon Flux" is any indication, she's no action hero.
2) Kate Bosworth: She just wrapped up filming on the new "Superman" movie. You're not allowed to play Lois Lane AND Wonder Woman.
3) Catherine Zeta Jones: While she does have the curves and the exotic look, aren't we sick of her already?
4) Rebecca Romijn: Mystique, yes. Wonder Woman, no.
5) Natalie Portman: Don't you have to have boobs to play Wonder Woman?
6) Jennifer Love Hewitt: She definitely has the boobs thing down, but can you imagine this frail little girl kicking butt?
7) Ashley Judd: Again, too girly to kick butt.
8) Lucy Lawless: Tall, buxom, and as we all know from her days on "Xena", she knows how to fight. She would have been my first choice...15 years ago.
9) Lindsey Lohan: There's not enough space on this blog to discuss how many reasons this would be wrong.
10) Beyonce Knowles: Please. Dear God. No.

I've been saying I should be the one who gets to play Wonder Woman for YEARS!!!! I'm ready for my close up!!!. lol
I heard some of these names thrown out and was equally sickened. MAYBE Jessica Alba (though that one doesnt really feel right either) or maybe jessica Beil (Blade 3 anyone).
At this point I think anyone who's gonna do this one has to be some total unknown who's about to get their break. Pretty please?
I'd still watch Lynda Carter do it. Giant hoots on a giant screen - Woo-hoo!
I'm with LLL, a tall, buxom, curvy unknown, not too athletic, with some meat on her bones and a smirky smile that puts men in their place.
Everyone on that list is just so...wrong.
