After the rebirth of old TV Shows like The Bionic Woman, Hawaii 5-0 and Battlestar Gallactica, many of you have been clamoring for a rebirth of Wonder Woman. You clamored even more when you heard it was on the table. Well, finally, it appears that the project is going to happen. It was just announced that NBC has decided to give the show a go.
The project is being touted as a reinvention (Yikes, that is almost never good) of the Amazon Princess, where Wonder Woman, also known as Diana Prince, is a ‘vigilante crime fighter in Los Angeles, but also a successful corporate executive and a modern woman trying to balance all of the elements of her extraordinary life.’
Oh Lord. I can hear the plot lines now. Steve Trevor didn’t call. Wonder Girl has a pimple. The cigar smoking boys at the office want to keep Diana under the proverbial glass ceiling. Nordstroms doesn’t carry a red hand bag with a white stripe to match her dubya-dubya boots. Hooey.
At any rate, we here at Smartasses are all in a ‘wonder’ as to who should play her part. If it had been twenty years ago, our defacto choice would have been Marina Sirtis of STNG Fame. She had the hair, the Greek look, and a softness about her that just would have clicked. To us, back then, it was literally like she was born to play the Amazon Princess of 1990, especially when you look at a few Brian Bolland covers for the comic.
Equally, if it had been ten years later, I think ninety percent of the planet would have wanted Lucy Lawless of Xena fame to trade in her leathers & shield for red, white and blue spandex and a Lasso of Truth.
But now it’s the Two-Thousand-and-Teens. For us, there is no definitive stand out any more. There are lots of leggy supermodels out there who can look the part, but we doubt any of them can act their way out of a paper bag. In that spirit, we all agree that Megan Fox would look great in the uniform, in fact, most of you have seen the fake Megan Fox Wonder Woman poster (above) out there. But I think we all realize nobody would truly take her seriously… so she’s off the list.
Instead, we’ve narrowed it down to eleven legitimate contenders, who all have shown some degree of acting ability in the past, and look good enough to don the colors. Here they are in no particular order: link
