Let's Make her a Man!

So for those of you who don't already know, the awesomely awesome Joss Whedon has signed on to write and direct the updated remake of...Wonder Woman. Looks like all their waiting on is casting of the lead character. Some rumours have been circulating the net that it may be Kate Beckinsale...i think that would be a mistake. i mean we're talking about a Greek Amazon Princess being played by....a 5'8" english woman. I just don't see it.

So Kate and I have been throwing around a few casting ideas of our own. A few Whedon fans have suggested Gina Torres...but the whole "black " thing might get in the way of people thinking she's suppoed to be Greek. She is a hulk of a woman though...and sexy....

I had suggested Maria Del Mar from National Velvet. She certainly Looks Greek...and she's huge! (she was the first woman I actually heard referred to as an amazon, so how fitting is that?). i know she's probably like forty-five now, but hey! It's Hollywood!

Of course, seeing as it Is Hollywood, i imagine they're gonna have a hard time finding a woman who is taller than 5'10" and weighs more than my leg. Where are the Brigitte Neilson's of today? (...who Aren't actually Brigitte Neilson....although There's an idea for ya...). So my final suggestion for the day?

Well It's a New Era! So why not treat it like so. Let's follow in the steps of last year's Oscars...Let's make Wonder Woman a Tranny! C'Mon, think of who would jump at the oppurtunity to take this role! It's like a guaranteed Oscar Nomination...especially if they have to kiss another man!

Think of the possibilities....Orlando Bloom, with his soft feminine features. Or Tom Cruise in his most challenging action role yet! Or heck, go black and pick Jamie Foxx...he played a woman on "In Living Colour" he can do it again! George Clooney could play the Queen of the Amazons, and Matt Damon could appear...well...somewhere I'm sure...

Seriously, someone contact Joss, I think I've solved his casting problems....
