Wonder Woman, Woooo-Man!

Alright so this Wonder Woman movie will probably never get made. Joss Whedon wasted 2 years of his life writing the script he was supposed to direct only to have WB give him the thumbs down. Who even knows if the charecter can bring in an audience at this point, Lynda Carter’s version stopped airing almost 18 years ago, and unlike Batman, Superman or Spiderman that also had tv versions in the 50’s, 60’s and 70’s respectively, Wonder Woman just doesn’t have the same mass appeal. I could be wrong and I hope I am if the movie does get made because I’m a big fan of the DC cannon, and Wonder Woman is a cool charecter.
But even if this movie is in a stand still, there’s always going to be casting rumors. Lot’s of names have been rumored for the part, I remember years ago Sandra Bullock’s name being mentioned, and supposedly Joss had Cobie Smulders from How I Met Your Mother in mind (but who knows maybe he was kidding?), even American Idol’r Katherine Mcphee (jeez, I mean she’s hot, but I can only imagine her as like a Bond Girl or something). But the new casting rumor is down right horrible, like “Oh darn, your baby’s a mutant freak horrible”. Who could possibly be this bad of a choice?

KATIE HOLMES!!!!!

What the Hell? Seriously? I mean it’s just a rumor, and it seems like one she’s propagating, but seriously? I mean let’s not even get into the fact she might have bore the Anti-Christ, or if nothing else that weird ghost spirit from Ghost Busters II, but she’s just a terrible, terrible actress. Listen, I know it’s Wonder Woman, we don’t need like Dame Judy Dench or Cate Blanchett or a “real actress” per-say, but freaking Katie Holmes? It’s not bad enough she nearly ruined the amazing Batman Begins with her dinner theater acting? Now she needs to soil Wonder Woman? Does she own stock in Marvel? Did some one wearing a Green Lantern shirt hurt her when she was a child? The only thing I ever liked her in was Sam Raimi’s The Gift and it was because of (Hey if you like under 18, don’t click the link, NSFW) THIS heart warming scene. According to the article she wants to get back into acting and thinks this is a great role, please, please do not hire her WB.
Now on to who I think should play Wonder Woman. There was a time that I thought Jessica Biel would be perfect. She’s beautiful, athletic and a pretty muscular, but not so much that she’s unfeminite. I mean look at this.
You Must Have Seen These By Now
Apparently she can kinda act, according to some people who saw the Illusionist. I liked her abs alot in Texas Chainsaw Massacre, and she was hot in Blade Trinity (easily one of the worst movies ever made), and she was really slutty in Rules Of Attraction, though I can’t really tell if she can act. Either way Jessica Biel has taken a back seat to my new nominee who would be perfect for Wonder Woman, and that young lady is…
Michelle Ryan
I liked her in the Bionic Woman pilot, she’s gorgeous, athletic, and kinda tall for a girl at 5’7, not exactly an amazon but that’s pretty tall, though Lynda Carter is 5’9. She does action really well and got an american accent down really quickly, but it wasen’t until we started watching the BBC show Jekyll that I knew she was perfect.
For one she can actually act, which made me happy because I wasen’t so sure with the short BW pilot we saw at Comic-Con, but mostly she reminded me alot of Lynda Carter in the show. She has pulled back brown hair, she’s in ridiculously tight clothes, and she’s got a broader frame (only in that she’s not some freaky meth stick, there’s nothing un-feminite about this chick) that makes you believe she could put up a goodfight, and that she is more of an amazon.
So that’s it, hell no on Katie, love ya Cobie, love ya Jessica, but the new British import Michelle Ryan gets my pick for WW, and Michelle you can totally lasso me with your Lasso Of Truth, I ain’t going to lie to you baby.

The Bionic Jekyll

In case you need more reasons to watch the new Bionic Woman when it starts you should try and check out Michelle Ryan‘s performance on the BBC show Jekyll, but this is about the many reasons to watch Jekyll.

In a time where so many TV shows and movies rely on CGI, heavy makeup, and prosthetics to create alter-egos and denote physical changes it’s comforting to have a show that uses minimal makeup and intense dramatic acting to show the change from Jekyll (Dr. Jackman) to Hyde. While I’m not familiar with any of James Nesbitt‘s other work but based on his role as Dr. Tom Jackman I would certainly check out some of his past shows and movies.

The show is a twist on the classic Jekyll and Hyde story and in fact it incorporates the book into the mythos of this present day story. When the show begins Dr. Tom Jackman is already well aware of his alter ego and has a number of methods for keeping track of him. Many mysterious characters interact with Dr. Jackman & Hyde and both are put in a variety of unusual circumstances. Want an example? I have 2 words for you: lion’s cage.

Michell Ryan plays Katherine Reimer, a mental health professional hired by Dr. Jackman to be an impartial mediator between himself and his alter ego. While she initially things it is all in his mind but upon witnessing the change she observes numerous physical differences. She is believable as the strong, smart, insightful character she portrays and this gives me high hopes for the Bionic Woman (it was hard to tell just how good she was in the pilot we saw at Comic-Con).

I won’t go into any more detail because it’s so much better to watch the show and find out what transpires. The thing I have noticed about the few shows I have watched from the BBC is the cinematic feel. Jekyll is no different.

If that’s not enough reason to watch then let us not forget Michelle Ryan’s unfathomably tight outfits. To call her the bionic woman is putting it lightly.

I don’t know if there will be another season (if there is it will obviously have to be without Michell Ryan). We are lucky enough to have the episodes via Time Warner On Demand but if you don’t have access to the show currently you should absolutely check out the DVD’s when they come out.

Hope you enjoy it as much as we are.
