  • Lynda Carter Approves Eliza Dushku as Wonder Woman

    Wonder WomanShould a Wonder Woman movie ever come out, Lynda Carter would back Eliza Dushku as the Amazonian goddess. Carter, the Wonder Woman from the 1970s TV series, told WENN: "I've always liked Joss and Eliza would make a great Wonder Woman."

    Carter, who also offered her services to help "groom" the next Wonder Woman, is referring to director Joss Whedon, who wrote a script for the movie in 2005 that he was slated to direct only to leave two years later for creative differences. In February's Maxim, Whedon clarified what really happened:

    I have no idea the status of the movie and, honestly, I never did. I was told they were very anxious to make it. I wrote a script. I rewrote the story. And by the time I'd written the second script, they asked me...not to. They didn't tell me to leave, but they showed me the door and how pretty it was. Would I like to touch the knob and maybe make it swing? I was dealing with them through [producer] Joel Silver who couldn't tell me what they wanted or anything else. I was completely in the dark. So I didn't know what it was that I wasn't giving them. I've moved on.

    Whedon may have moved on, however, Wonder Woman hasn't moved at all. Silver, who commissioned the first Wonder Woman screenplay back in 2001, recently told Comingsoon.net: "It's [Wonder Woman] in a constant state of development, but we just haven't been able to find the right way to do it yet, but hopefully we can and we can make it soon."

    Whenever you do make it, Joel, Lynda Carter is ready to help.

      Since the film could possibly be filmed in New Orleans, Louisiana; the perfect actress to perform Wonder Woman is the New Orleans native
