The Popcorn U.K. Web site reported a rumor that Buffy the Vampire Slayer co-star Eliza Dushku (Faith) is the latest actress in the running to play Wonder Woman in Joel Silver's upcoming film. Dushku, 21, joins Sandra Bullock, Xena star Lucy Lawless and pro wrestler Chyna as possible contenders to take up Diana Prince's golden lasso.
A spokesperson for producer Silver (The Matrix) told Popcorn, "The story is still in development and there's no production office set up for the film yet."
Bullock told Popcorn that she's interested in the role, but not the "watered-down" version Lynda Carter played in the 1970s TV show of the same name. She added that she's not eager to don Carter's trademark skimpy red-blue-and-gold outfit.
