the buzz log

Whatever challenges Wonder Woman will face in her movie, they'll surely pale in comparison to what fans went through in the years it took to get her to the big screen. The countless casting rumors, the constant teases -- oh, what painful memories!

Lamentably, we must add more innuendo to the pile. Not because we want to, but because the buzz is too high to ignore. Word has it that Beyonce may/might/maybe be in the running to play Wonder Woman. Perhaps. Searches on the singing-dancing-acting powerhouse are up 59%. Additionally, related queries on "beyonce as wonder woman," "wonder woman beyonce" both surged as the rumors swirled.

Blogs jumped on the news as well. Stuff reported that Ms. Knowles is "in discussions to play Wonder Woman." However, that might be a bit of a stretch. While it's true that the curvaceous entertainer publicly declared her interest in playing the lasso-wielding heroine, there are no reports that her interest is being reciprocated by the film's producers.

Such one-sided infatuation could change should the producers sign a director. MovieWeb thinks McG could be in line for the job. Well, maybe, but we're not getting our hopes up. We've been hurt before.
