I was reading in the recent Entertainment Weekly that there are serious talks once again (the 4th time I believe) to putting Wonder Woman on the big screen.
I know you did some body image work (not sure what you would officially call it, this sounds close) for the comic, but was wondering if you had ever been, or expect to be, contacted to be used (similar to Lee Priest in the Hulk movie) in the same manner if the project is a go.
Thanks,

It depends. I’m what would be considered too muscular for anything mainstream. Believe it or not.
Now, if Adam Hughes (current and longtime WW cover artist) had any say, he would pick me. But ya gotta understand, that they would undoubtedly use a body double close to physical features of whatever actress is chosen to be WW on the big screen.
What Lee Priest did was basically get his physical proportions/ likeness scanned into a computer as reference for a CGI image. WW will not be CGI.
From what I also understand, they are working on a new WW script. The first draft was horrible. Just horrible.
Yeah it’s unfortunate that the mainstream perception of feminitity is so far off base.
I can’t think of anyone in Hollywood that would fit the physcial characteristics of what Wonder Woman is supposed to look like; unless that actress trained with you and ko for a few months!
In any event, let’s hope that the WW script isn’t totally lame and that we get a watchable flick out of the process.
Thanks for the reply

If I were more clever, I’d do this myself, but I’ll put it out there for some other enterprising T-Nation citizen:
-
Create an online petition, stating that WW should be depicted properly, as a female with a strong-looking physique.
-
Advertise the petition here and elsewhere.
-
I.D. the movie studio fiddling with WW, and bring the petition to their attention.
Why thanks for the vote of confidence! Much appreciated. Fact is, I don’t think of myself as being the physical presence of WW. I still can’t believe that I was asked to do this; did it; and am going back for more shots.
Wild.
Anyways, when you see what alot of former fitness chicks have done to get the proverbial foot in door of H-Town, you’d totally understand what I’m saying. There’s Vicky Pratt, now on Mutant X, she got the implants, “toned” down and got the part in that series. One chick who did not “tone” down is Spice Williams. She’s a popular stunt actress, who’s been in a couple of Star Trek flicks; but to give her muscles “reason”, they dress her up as a Klingon. You know, only alien chicks have muscle. hehehe
