COMMENT: The Internet and it's Retardos. Wonder Woman has NOT been cast, and no one is "in talks". IMDb says that Priyanka Chopra (Bollywood star) is in "negotiations" to play Wonder Woman. For those who don't know, ANYONE can send information to IMDb. Most of IMDb's "credited sources" are fans. So what happens? Well, the New York Times runs with it! They mention the "negotiation" in an article. Then all the sci-fi websites mention it. Some even make it sound like they didn't just read it on IMDb, they had a "reliable source". Give me a break. Simon over at Whedonesque has a great rant in his blog entry to this story (or lack thereof). Click Here for that. Sometimes the internet gives me a headache. - Matt Posted: 7.03.06
