Hey guys, I just found this at our neighbor's site, serenitymovie.org. Thought I'd share, although some of ya have prolly already seen it if you visit our neighbors. So here it is:

Quote:
FIREFLY and Buffy creator Joss Whedon has let it slip that Morena Baccarin may be in line for the coveted role of Wonder Woman, according to Contactmusic.
Whedon reportedly has made no secret of the fact that he thinks the actress, who he worked with on both Firefly and Serenity, would make a good Wonder Woman. Net reports suggest that Whedon wants Baccarin for the role, while producer Joel Silver, who initially wanted Kim Basinger to don the Wonder Woman suit, is fighting for Jessica Alba.

What are your all's thoughts?

PS...Kim Bassinger???

I mean, she's still beautiful, but those days of her playing the role of a 20-30 something are over.

last i heard, Joss said he's consider Morena for the role, but he said he still didn't have anyone definate in mind. he said he wouldn't know until he was done with the script. he said the character isn't fully developed yet since he isn't done with the script, so he said he really couldn't say for sure. he said he would definately consider Morena, but wouldn't know if she was right for the role until he was done.

Basinger? Please...
Alba? Good, but same 'tude in all her work. Really
NOT the best actress.
Too bad they probably wouldn't consider SEAN YOUNG.
She'd be my pick.
Morena doesn't strike me as very "Amazonian".
Now, Jeniffer Connley would rock, but she's got
herself too damned skinny nowadays. Think "The Rocketeer". Remember when she had boobs?

I vote Alba.
I just can't see Morena kicking anyone's ass.

I doubt the authenticity of this.

Primarily because of the Kim Basinger blurb. Basinger is *52* years old. Heck Lynda Carter is only 2 years older.

There is no way Joel Siler or anyone in their right mind would even consider Basinger.

As for Alba, she's already in the Fantastic Four, I don't think you want to cast Wonder Woman somebody who's already part of another superhero/comic book franchise.

Jeeze -you're right.
OK, I vote they give an unknown a shot.

Authenticity aside...who do you think is best suited for the role? I think she could definitely pull it off, she's only 2 inches shorter than Lynda Carter, and high heels can do wonders into making any woman taller. I think she could do it. I'll have to think some more on who else I'd consider for the role. Alba...eh, perhaps. That is if she'd actually take some acting lessons. She's got some potential there, but I think Morena could be a good choice.

I think Morena could pull it off. With training and costuming and heels.... yeah.

Morena would be cool. I can't really think of anyone better. Jessica Alba? Kim Basinger? Please! You may as well give me the role! (Oh, please, Joss. I'd be very good! Only kidding.)
But really, I can definetly see Morena in the whole wavy hair, flowing cape, high heels role. I just don't want people getting confused when Firefly: Revenge of the Sith airs it's pilot on television and people see her in the role of Inara. It'd be good publicity for the show, but still, she's Inara--first and foremost.

Wacky fun!

All I know is....if Lynda Carter doesn't make at least some kind of cameo....someone gets hurt...
