Overheard In L.A.: Lucy Lawless is Wonderwoman
Public transportation isn't always a drag. While showing my mom around our dirty city, I opened up my ears to the conversations around me. A music teacher (or so he claimed) was trying to pick up the girl sitting next to me. He was telling her that he's been working on the background music for Wonder Woman (due out in 2007), and that Lucy Lawless will be playing the lead roll.

I know there's been a lot of speculation of who will be given the roll, and I know you can't trust every long haired mack you meet on the bus, but Hollywood's also chock full of insider information, if you know where to look, so, take it with a grain of salt, but if he were making it up, he would have picked someone more appealing to a woman than Xena.

According to Hollywood, Lindsay Lohan is playing EVERYTHING, including Sailor Moon. *ha ha ha!*

You know who I would love to see playing Wonder Woman? Jordana Brewster.

I don't buy it. I don't think Joss would cast Lucy Lawless, unless she showed some amazing presence or acting ability outside of being a warrior princess. I trust him to do it right.




Morena Baccarin woot!

I'd bet anything that they'll cast an unknown a la Superman. There were so many supposed contenders for that role and then they just got that random dude. So my guess is: Random Chick.

plus, xena's too old.

I own two cars and I take the bus to places like downtown because, dude, traffic sucks, and save the planet and stuff.

I mean, he could still totally be lying, but taking the bus and being able to afford a car are not mutually exclusive.

I personally think she's a great choice. She has the body for it and can obviously play the strong woman superhero role.

An unknown would be good too, but I agree with Lawless...as long as she dyes her hair back to black!

Lucy Lawless could kick puppies and I'd watch it. Seriously.

I don't feel confident in the source but huh - in my DREAMS would she play it. I think I'd have a fan spaz.

The only problem I see to this rumored casting is that they'd have to find a cute blonde chick for her to fall in love with.

How is he working on background music for a film that hasn't even shot a single scene? In my understanding, music is part of post-production given that the composer likes to SEE the movie so he can match the music and scene in tone and tempo and all that stuff.

Plus I doubt Joss would cast Lucy Lawless. She's too identifiable as another warrior woman. I think the producers would go for a relative unknown.

I'm glad someone else picked up on the music is post-production idea!!! The guy is full of it. It always drives me bananas when I hear people say they are working on music for a movie show or game that hasn't even been put into the final stages of pre-production!!

Then again, Lucy Lawless could be playing someone else in Wonder Woman. I could see that easily!!

Xena rules all.

How old was Wonder Women supposed to be? All this Lucy is too old crap doesn't seem right. It's Wonder WOMEN not Wonder Teen, Wonder Co-ed, Wonder Adolescent.
I mean if you really didn't know Lucy's age how old would you think she is? Hell, she looks younger then Sienna Miller.

Won't be Xena. The studio has said they need a younger person because they're hoping to turn it into a franchise thing with sequels and whatnot.

I vote for Charisma Carpenter...or Summer Glau but she might be too short. :(
