Is Teresa Palmer the Wonder Woman of 'JUSTICE LEAGUE'?
Several sources insist today that the Aussie star of December Boys has been cast in George Miller's Justice League of America. (And, BTW, Rupert Evans is NOT Superman!)
Aussie blonde bombshell Teresa Palmer has lassoed the highly-coveted role of Princess Diana, a.k.a. Wonder Woman, in George Miller's Justice League of America flick, reported one of Palmer's directors to Moviehole's CLINT MORRIS.
Palmer tested for the part a week ago, competing with peers Minka Kelly (The Kingdom) and Mary Elizabeth Winstead (Sky High).
Teresa Palmer Online [http://teresapalmer.net] has posted this message on Page 1 of the site:
Apparently Teresa has landed the role of Wonder Woman in the upcoming Justice League project. Though it has been confirmed by her friends, her agency says the role is not yet confirmed.
The posting includes a story run in The 'Advertiser' newspaper in Adelaide which suggests that Palmer has indeed been cast:
As word filtered through Hollywood that Jessica Biel had passed on the tights-tastic role yesterday, 'Confidential' received word from Teresa’s friend that the blonde bombshell, now based in LA, had lassoed herself the part.
"Teresa rang me all excited to tell me at 2am this morning," Palmer’s pal said. "Apparently they’re going to have her fitted out with a black wig rather than dye her hair."
Director George Miller flew to Hollywood last week to begin casting for the big budget film, which is likely to be shot at Fox Studios [Australia] next year.
Teresa’s Sydney based management said the casting was not confirmed.
"I haven't spoken to her so am not sure as to whether it is true," posted Murali Thalluri, who directed Palmer in the Aussie film 2:37, "but if it is, I am over the moon, she is a rare & remarkable talent, and will be great for this role."
