Katharine McPhee American Idol Runner up in Wonder Woman?
Posted by: Michael
Well I thought we were pretty much done with our Friday news but when you hear the American Idol runner up is in the running to be "Wonder Woman" you really do have to post it up and ask "WTF?". Gossip column E-Online (via Comic2Film ) which is a real news organization ( not like us, we are just lowly bloggers after all ) has reported that the "American Idol" runner up Katharine McPhee, has been approached by Joss Whedon to star in "Wonder Woman". Since when did Joss Whedon want to throw away his credibility for a lame cash in on a singer who has no acting creds? Next they will be casting me in "Batman Begins 2" as Batman.
I seriously doubt their is any truth to this story. I think that Joss Whedon respects himself far to much to stoop to a blatant cash in on the "American Idol" Audience to sell his new film. But who knows, I will be happy to eat my words if I am wrong, and accept a role in "Batman Begins 2" for that matter if its offered :)
Update: Thanks to Charlie one of our very knowledgeable readers for writing in to correct me. Katherine McPhee has indeed got acting experience and I just dont know what the hell I am talking about. And no he did not put it that way :) Charlie tells us that Katherine's credits include a failed MTV soap opera in which she was supposedly very good. He goes on to add quote:
"But seriously, if you want a film industry member's insight, here it is: McPhee's Idol performances imply a pretty solid acting ability. Talented filmmakers can easily infer this, and that's why they're interested in her. Anyway, good luck in Batman Begins 2 (would he really still be beginning?). "
Charlie you make some good points. We always love when readers write in. I agree with your thoughts and thanks for the encouragement on my shot at potentially being in the next Batman Movie :P.
