While promoting the upcoming "Phantom of the Opera" adaptation, Minnie Driver told Sci Fi Wire she'd love to play Wonder Woman, but doubts that it will work out in her favor.

Minnie Driver told SCI FI Wire that she'd love to play Wonder Woman, but doubts that it will work out in her favor. "I think you're probably going to see Catherine Zeta-Jones squished into a corset and a pair of shorts quicker than you'd see me," Driver said in an interview while promoting her latest movie, The Phantom of the Opera, which will be released by Warner Brothers, the studio that retains the rights to Wonder Woman. "I might have more currency now, after Phantom, because she is an operatic superhero, in my opinion."

"That's actually going to be my new angle, my new pitch," Driver added, laughing. "I knew there was a reason I came here today, and it was to hone my pitch to Warner Brothers."

Driver pointed to original TV Wonder Woman star Lynda Carter as one of her heroines. "She did it all with a couple of bracelets and a weird lasso, and she had an invisible plane!" Driver said. "Come on, she's heaven, and she was so sexy. Even though I didn't have blue eyes, at a stretch I thought I could possibly grow up to be her, whereas I could never have grown up to be Lindsay Wagner [who played the Bionic Woman]. Do you know what I mean?"

Whedon to Write & Direct Wonder Woman?

TV Guide is reporting that "Buffy the Vampire Slayer," "Angel," and "Firefly" creator Joss Whedon may write and direct Wonder Woman for Warner Bros.:

Joss Whedon is staking his claim to another female superhero. Warner Bros. is on the verge of lassoing the Buffy the Vampire Slayer mastermind to write and direct the studio's long-gestating Wonder Woman feature film, TV Guide Online has learned. The almost-done deal comes just two months after Whedon announced that he was getting out of the TV biz to focus on making movies, beginning with his forthcoming Firefly flick, Serenity.

Stay tuned for more on this as it comes in.

It is now rumored that Sarah Michelle Gellar might play her

There is probably at least 5-10 women being rumored at this point, Cathrine Zeta Jones, Gellar, Minnie Driver, etc.

I would rather go with an unknown though.

Gellar would be a horrible choice. Don't get me wrong, she's hot, but she couldn't hold Lynda Carter's bra strap, and that's probably true too.

She's too tiny and lean to play someone as busty, curvy and hard as Wonder Woman should be. Zeta-Jones, Landry, S. Elizabeth, and Jolie would be good choices.

Yeah I agree wtih you on those points.

landry would be perfect physically as bobby d said, as would elizabeth, it just depends on their acting skills.

Personally I think Landry would be a bettter choice then Elizabeth.

But really anything is better than Gellar. 😛

except halle berry...

yeah 😂

Or maybe Garner 😛

noooooooooooooooooooooooo........................................

Or maybe a vs film with Wonder Woman (Gellar) Vs Elektra (Garner) 😛

yeah, i'd by the dvd just to burn it...

Garner is a better choice than Gellar, but only marginally for this role.

Again, both are smokin' hot. But, it's the role you have to consider. Halle Berry not a bad option either....possibly too short? After all, Wonder Woman is an Amazon?

thats funny, or were you being serious?

How about former figure skater great, Katerina Witt? She would be a nice option, physically...and visually. 😉

Former female wrestler China would be another good option, physically speaking. They could doll her up.

Jamie Gertz?

I would be the first in line to buy it then in that case.

Dear god, I hope not.

No, I got more!

Yasmine Bleeth (too short?), Shania Twain (too short?), Brooke Burke (yowza!), Nikki Cox?

Gosh, I could I leave Carmen Electra, Cindy Crawford, and Brook Burns out of the mix? Someone shoot me.

*bang*
