Has anyone suggested Claudia Black yet?

Buffista Movies 4: Straight to Video
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.
Too much glorious bone structure. Wonder Woman is rounded.
Lennonesque? Or just me. Not just the hair and glasses, something around the nose and mouth, I think.
I can see it. [link]
Plus, Claudia is amazingly kickass, but it's a mature world-weary kind of kickass. I don't know that she could pull off the sort of innocence Wonder Woman needs at the start.
If they were filming Kingdom Come, however...
Damn, it suddenly seems a shame that we can't go way off beam, because it occurred that Gigi is so un-Chiana like in real life, and can pull off a genuine alien frame of movement, that she might not be a bad fit.
Gigi is too wee.
Whoever-it-is-who-played-Jool has the gazongas for it.
So, OK, here's the kind of stuff that floats around my head when I'm riding public transit home at night. It's not noticing a pattern, so much as playing connect the dots and suddenly deciding that it's a picture of a bunny rabbit with a machete and a hard-on.
Stipulations:
- Comic book movies are big deals now.
- Those comic book movies are best which are directed by directors who
- Have a unique and noticable style
- Have devoted, one could even say fanatical, followings
- Have respect for the genre
- Both Sin City (pretty much a given now) and Wonder Woman will be good/successful, which will help to prove stipulation 2.
(For the sake of this thought process realise that, although John Woo fits stipulations 2.1 and 2.2, he does not fit 2.3.)
Stipulating these, is it completely clear who needs to be approached to do Preacher?
I don't know if I can handle a Preacher movie. It would scare me.
That said, I don't see the obvious direction you're going, necessarily. Though Tarantino could be an option - he's good with violence, as we all know.
Edelstein loves loves loves Sin City. [link]
