Various studio types have been trying to get the lasso and invisible plane on the screen for years. Several other stars such as Jennifer Lopez, Sandra Bullock, Rachel Bilson, and Catherine Zeta-Jones have been rumored to be up for the role Lynda Carter was famous for. Producer Joel Silver was once on board. Buffy and Firefly Joss Whedon told Entertainment Weekly (my favorite magazine) the following in 2006 when he was attached to writing a Wonder Woman script:

“Besides [Wonder Woman's] great origin story, there’s nothing from the comics that felt right 100 percent, no iconic canon story that must be told. Batman has it made – he’s got the greatest rogues gallery ever, he’s got Gotham City. The Bat writes himself. With Wonder Woman, you’re writing from whole cloth, but trying to make it feel like you didn’t. To make it feel like it’s existed for 60 years, even though you’re making it up as you go along. But who she, and what the movie, is about, thematically, has never been a problem for me. But the steps along the way, it could be so easy for them to feel wrong. I won’t settle. She wouldn’t let me settle.”

Warner Bros. has since confirmed that the Wonder-Who.com site was “complete B.S.” By the time you read this, the site may be closed down. Still we can still “wonder” what might have been. Hell, I’d go see Wonder Woman if Megan Fox was in the lead. Although, for all the male fans that Megan Fox has, I “wonder” if she has any female fans. Most women probably view her as “that skinny bitch from that toy robot movie. That said, it is possible that someone making a big version of this movie would pick a female actress with a broader appeal. Still, maybe this rumor will put the idea of Megan Fox in the right executive’s head… at least one of them.

Update: Looks like she won’t be Wonder Woman (yet), but has signed on to play an angel opposite the Wrestler’s Mickey Rourke in director Mitch Glazer‘s drama Passion Plays. The 1950s Los Angeles-set movie finds Fox’s character, described as a slender beauty with wings who is part of a carnival, helping a down-in-the-skids trumpeter (Rourke) be redeemed.

Why this news is such a big deal is beyond me. If Lynda kept rowing into the heart of DC, she would have found dead bodies all over the place. Still, the news caused me to do a little research and I came to a very spectacular discovery. What was considered super sexy back in the 1970′s pales by today’s comparison. Check out a comparison of a few pictures I found online…

With the remake of superhero movies being all the rage right now, I figured there HAD to be something in the works for a new Wonder Woman. I did a quick search of IMDB and it turns out that a movie called Justice League: Mortal was in the works but is currently tabled. Personally, I think an entire movie with Superman, Batman, Aquaman (I wonder if Vincent Chase would be cast?), and Wonder Woman would be pretty lame. Apparently, the film is just planning to relocate filming and still might happen. If it does, Australian model Megan Gale is slated to play the role of Wonder Woman.

Personally, I think a movie dedicated entirely to Wonder Woman would do much better. Especially if it starred Megan Fox as the magic rope slinging beauty. Can you imagine her in the modern outfit shown above? Mmmm……Megannnnn…..
