Thanks for the warm welcome Shag!!!! And I EMPHATICALLY agree about Catherine Zeta Jones. I've thought that since I heard the movie was a possibility, she is demure, gorgeous, she has that accent that's not really an accent, and give her a trainer for a few months and she could totally pull it off. As far as height goes, that is a non issue in film. Nobody knew Tom Cruise was a total midget until he stood next to his former (and current) wife on the red carpet. And I had no idea that Kevin Spacey was a giant until I stood next to him on the set of "Recount." Megan Fox is super HOT, but way too young to do the part. And I'm sure some unknown could possibly pull it off. But really, Wonder Woman's essence is familiar and mature. I'm just afraid Hollywood is gonna muk it all up with some model chick that has very little acting experience (like the super skinny Australian that was slated previously). I think someone has to have a considerable amount of acting cred for THIS role.
