 Evil-doers
beware. Soon Tobey Maguire's Spider-Man, George Clooney's Batman and
Christopher Reeve's Superman will be joined by a new Hollywood
super-hero: Wonder Woman. But before she kapows the crooks, there's
another battle brewing as some formidable femmes vie to don the spangly
leotards. Sandra Bullock believes she fits the bill. Her spokeswoman
says the star, riding a popularity wave thanks to Miss Congeniality, has
met with Warner Bros about starring in a Wonder Woman flick. But some of
showbiz's bustiest brunette bruisers are pushing their own claims.
Former warrior princess Lucy Lawless tells Scoop she'd love to lasso the
role (famously embodied by former Miss World—USA Lynda Carter in the
'70s TV series), provided the character was a more interesting "flawed
hero." Wrestler Chyna is less interested in depth of character than
depth of make-up, saying she most admires the superheroine's "red
lipstick and beautiful black hair." But she seems positively pugilistic
in her pursuit of the part: "Come hell or high water, I'm going to make
them notice me." |
