Minnie Driver Wants Wonder Woman Source: Sci Fi Wire
December 14, 2004
Minnie Driver told SCI FI Wire that she'd love to play Wonder Woman, but doubts that it will work out in her favor. "I think you're probably going to see Catherine Zeta-Jones squished into a corset and a pair of shorts quicker than you'd see me," Driver said in an interview while promoting her latest movie, The Phantom of the Opera, which will be released by Warner Brothers, the studio that retains the rights to Wonder Woman. "I might have more currency now, after Phantom, because she is an operatic superhero, in my opinion."
"That's actually going to be my new angle, my new pitch," Driver added, laughing. "I knew there was a reason I came here today, and it was to hone my pitch to Warner Brothers."
Driver pointed to original TV Wonder Woman star Lynda Carter as one of her heroines. "She did it all with a couple of bracelets and a weird lasso, and she had an invisible plane!" Driver said. "Come on, she's heaven, and she was so sexy. Even though I didn't have blue eyes, at a stretch I thought I could possibly grow up to be her, whereas I could never have grown up to be Lindsay Wagner [who played the Bionic Woman]. Do you know what I mean?"
Driver laughed again when it was suggested that perhaps she could convince Debra Winger to reprise her role as Drusilla, better known as Wonder Girl. The future Oscar winner appeared opposite Carter as Wonder Woman's sister in three episodes of the old television series. "Heaven," Driver said. "Heaven. She's maybe my favorite actress."

Regardless... noone can possibly replace Lynda Carter.... Lord, did I ever have a major crush on her back then.... Come to think of it, she's still as beautiful today as she was then, so why cant she reprise the role?
she's british and she's got good teeth - what more could you ask for?
seriously though - i think i might side with you - they could make a better choice for Wonder Woman. how about lucy lawless?

Lucy Lawless should be Wonder Woman. She's seriously perfect for the role.
I like Charisma Carpenter too. She certainly has the fighting skill down from all those years on Angel and she looked great on the last episode of Charmed i saw her in but I still think she is lacking something that Lucy has.
Perhaps its the tough as nails Amazon additude that would be needed to portray Wonder Woman. Lucy seems to have it naturally and Charisma would have to work for it to be believeable. Still I won't be upset if Charisma got the part. She rocks.

You should give Buffy a chance. I didn't watch it for a long long time because it sounded so stupid but it really is very well written. The show is hilarious. I don't remember what the humor was like in the Wonder Woman series and I never read the comic but if Joss has a hand in the writing of Wonder Woman you can pretty much bet the script should be very good.
I don't think Sarah Michelle Gellar would make a very good WW. Maybe its just because she is so petite and blond. Id have to see her in the costume.
The attached is a photo of Charisma.

Charisma is one beautiful woman.

Whedon to Write & Direct Wonder Woman? Source: TV Guide
December 20, 2004
TV Guide is reporting that "Buffy the Vampire Slayer," "Angel," and "Firefly" creator Joss Whedon may write and direct Wonder Woman for Warner Bros.:
Joss Whedon is staking his claim to another female superhero. Warner Bros. is on the verge of lassoing the Buffy the Vampire Slayer mastermind to write and direct the studio's long-gestating Wonder Woman feature film, TV Guide Online has learned. The almost-done deal comes just two months after Whedon announced that he was getting out of the TV biz to focus on making movies, beginning with his forthcoming Firefly flick, Serenity.
