Even directors are prone to dreamy fancasting.
Nicolas Winding Refn wants to make a Wonder Woman movie. He’s given several interviews about it (Warner Bros, it seems, has yet to call) and he’s got a lot of cool ideas. He certainly grasps the character better than NBC and David E. Kelley did.
Today, he set the Internet on fire by dreamcasting his Wonder Woman to Vulture: Christina Hendricks.
If the floor of the Internet felt a little…dirty to you this morning, that’s why.
Remember, Refn isn’t anywhere close to making a Wonder Woman movie. He hasn’t entered talks with Warner Bros. He hasn’t been tapped to write a script. But you wouldn’t think so from every headline saying “Refn Wants Hendricks as Wonder Woman.”
But can you blame anyone for writing it? No. Even I look at those curves and think “Yeah. She’d be real pretty in that outfit.”
Warner Bros should really give Refn a call. With one quote, he managed to get nearly every Wonder Woman detractor on board. You can’t buy that kind of publicity…well, you can, but it’s not nearly as genuine.
Here’s one for the road. It’s a slow news day, and I’ll find a way to balance it out with some shirtless dudes later.

YES! OH GOD YES! i mean… sure, whatever. thatd be cool. 😛
fap fap fap fap fap fap fap er I mean this wonderful news, she is pretty but a red head. Wonder Woman is NOT a red head! I will make my voice heard over the internets now if you excuse me I… must… get back… to work fap fap fap fap fap fap
i could never picture her in the role, but if she had dark hair in the first picture, wow shes perfect.
I don’t know, just can’t picture Wonder Woman complaining about her sore back after every chase.
Her running super-fast after bad guys would be hilarious. She’d look great in the outfit, but action scenes would be unfilmable.
I’m Mr Wet Blanket, and I’ll be here all week!
Farsight, Unfilmable? That would be one of the…Selling points! See Christina Hendricks as Wonder Woman in…3DDD!
Ahahahhahhha. Ahem, thank you for that.
Meanwhile, I want her husband to play the coveted role of Ack Ack in the rumored One Crazy Summer remake because that dude looks exactly like Curtis Armstrong.
She can use her lasso on me anytime… and that’s the truth!
Also… red hair can be dyed, and bouncing betties restrained. Unfilmable? Hardly…
perhaps power girl would be more fitting?
No way. She’s way too soft and pudgy. Its much more important they get somebody who looks like a warrior, an amazon, than to get a pair of giant boobs. Someone like Gina Carrano, if she can act. Lets see how she does in that new Soderberg film. She even has the right kind of colouring.
Hendricks is hot as can be, and I’d sure love to see her in the outfit, but I think you need someone a little less curvy and more athletic in the role.
I don’t think she is a natural redhead….
