Wonder Woman cast? Aug. 16, 2007

Source: Star Pulse

Has she really? I hope not, because as of now, apparently it looks like Katie Holmes is the actress set to play that role. If Tom Cruise didn't use his Scientology powers to get her this franchise, I really don't know how this happened. And I'd imagine if he was going to use his powers for anything it would be to get himself a pinstriped space shuttle or something.

StarPulse is reporting that:

The movie’s only at the discussion state, but Katie feels this role as a kick-ass superhero will put her back in the public eye... She wants to show her stuff, and she wants to prove that she can stand on her own two feet without Tom’s help. Tom, at times, feels compelled to oversee Katie’s career, but Katie is bent on doing this alone. She actually scheduled the meeting when she knew Tom wasn’t going to be able to be there.

So there you have it. Thankfully, things are only at a discussion stage (because as much as I love Katie Holmes, I just can't see her in this role), but to be honest, Cruise is so powerful right now, I'm pretty sure if she really wanted it, Cruise could make a movie called WOMAN OF WONDER starring his wife anyway. Oh well.

Extra Tidbit: Holmes' all-time favorite movie is MY BEST FRIEND'S WEDDING.

Now i've never followed the comics but i did grow up with the show , which i don't remember , with the exception that she ran around a lot and had big tits. But this , really? , can't any of the retards behind this find any better source material? BOOO!!!!! FYI- wonder woman ran for 4 years , and Lynda and Katie are the same height < and it really doesnt matter how tall she is cuz' im not going to be looking at her fucking feet , or comparing her relative size to other actors , or even seeing this shit.

Wonder Woman is a feminist. Tom Cruise has strings attached to this woman and uses her like his personal publicity puppet and baby making machine.

The movie won't work because there is no truly iconic Wonder Woman origin story. There is no parents who were killed, no biting my a spider... Shes fucking boring people!

Seriously, no matter who plays Wonder Woman, we all know its going to suck a huge one. Joss Whedon couldn't make anyone like this one. The character is just far too linked to the 70s camp TV show, Batman could get away from it but Wonder Woman won't. She never have been able to.

Admittedly, she is 5'9", but that's about as good as it gets for her.

I'd rather see some talented unknown get the gig over Katie Holmes. Now Entrapment-era Catherine Zeta Jones would've been perfect.

I honestly don't see anything wrong with her "look." She's caucasian and has dark brown hair. That's all she needs. A buff woman, which seems to be what cobra guy wants, would just look weird. And wonderwoman does not have dark skin.

Still, I don't support this decision with Katie Holmes. I actually don't support the movie at all. Whoever plays her will look weird on screen because of her costume and if there was a change with that there would be bitching everywhere. And frankly, she's just not interesting with pretty lame abilities and an invisible plane.

And thanks guys for finally saying something about Belluci's lack of hotness.

Don't get caught up in the crap that goes along with her marriage. And don't think that there's some kind of Oscar caliber talent needed to pull it off. (I like Linda Carter too, but the bitch can't act either.)

Instead, watch THE GIFT and tell me that Katie doesn't have the cans to get the "job" done.

And Monica Belluci is a figment. Well lit, well shot and has had a kid since THE MATRIX flicks, so forget looking like she used to (which wasn't something spectacular to begin with). Oh, and don't forget that she can't act either.

If she didn't look like such a bitch, I'd say that Megan Fox could do it. But extensive cover-up of the tattoos never really looks like they're covered up, so that's kinda blown too.

The main issue with the argument on this site is that most of the users are male. While comic books are intensively a male hobby, this is a character that resonated with women, mainly due to the popularity of the television show.

Whether or not the movie will succeed is largely based on women relating to the actress that they choose. It will have to be someone beautiful, but not threateningly so. Someone strong but not giving off the aura of being a total stuck-up bitch. It's a fine fence to straddle. Holmes might not be a perfect choice, but she's not an unreasonable one when you take into consideration her relatability with other women.
