British actress Kate Beckinsale wants to play Wonder Woman in the upcoming movie adaptation of the classic 1970s TV series.
Adaptation of the TV series? Dear Joss, please, no.
First of all, 'Posse?' Passé

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
The NY Post reported that Joel Silver named her as a possible.

Quick! Someone find a photo of her at her most absolutely skeletal weight and post it where Joss is likely to run across it!
I actually like Kate Beckinsale, but my Wonder Woman is not a thin, fine-boned British woman.

Your tag here.

Kate Beckinsale is my seekrit girlfriend, so back the fuck off.
but my Wonder Woman is not a thin, fine-boned British woman.
::sigh:: I suppose you're right. I'm not sure who would be good in the role. Right now all I'm coming up with is Lucy Lawless. The irony of that casting would be priceless.

Now tagless for your comfort.
Kate Beckinsale wants to play Wonder Woman.
A world of no. She's gorgeous. She tipped my Kinsey in Underworld in all her corseted, PVC glory but she's so not Wonder Woman.
And Jessica Biehl couldn't act her way out of a paper bag.

"When I look at people that I would like to feel have been a mentor or an inspiring kind of archetype of what I'd love to see my career eventually be mentioned as a footnote for in the same paragraph, it would be, like, Bowie." ~Trent Reznor
We've got a Kitty Pryde. Her name's Ellen Page and I've heard of neither her nor anything she's been in.
Also: trailer for "Walk the Line."
Joaquin sounds a lot like Johnny in some of those lines. In others he doesn't. I'm not sure what to make of that.

Some of the female fanbase will be happy to see Daniel Cudmore returning as Colossus.

That's because she's Canadian & probably Nova Scotian.
But Paul Gross and CKR fans might recognize her from Wilby Wonderful.

Thrive to spite them
Emily was in Wilby Wonderful, a Canadian film about 1 day in the town of Wilby. Paul Gross, Sandra Oh and Callum Keith Rennie were in it as well. I haven't seen it, but I know my Due South friends liked it and said nice things about the actress.

I think I'm going to need to see that even if his accent is iffy. (Reese Witherspoon, at least, is really a southerner, though I'm not sure what her natural accent is.) Thanks for the link.
