Charisma Carpenter - "Wonder Woman" Movie - Tvguide.com Interview

Wednesday 6 September 2006, by Webmaster

TVGuide.com: You’re just too much woman for the small screen to handle?

Carpenter: Is that what it is? Ooh, I really like that line. It really works for me! But I do have an interesting audition coming up soon, so I’m hopeful.

TVGuide.com: Is it for TV? A movie?

Carpenter: Movie, movie, movie... I’m excited.

TVGuide.com: Is it with Joss Whedon, and you’re holding a golden lasso? [Carpenter’s name often comes up in discussions about the Buffy creator’s in-the-works Wonder Woman feature film.]

Carpenter: We’re working on that [Carpenter possibly playing Wonder Woman]. I’m working on it, I’m working on it....

TVGuide.com: You did very well in a TVGuide.com poll that ran last spring. [Asked who of three candidates they’d like to see play Wonder Woman, 52.1 percent voted for Carpenter.]

Carpenter: Yeah, your poll was generous. But in some other poll - with me, Jessica Biel and Sarah Michelle Gellar - I came in last. Of course, the picture they chose showed me when I was at, like, a children’s benefit covered in [conservative clothing]. I should have been wearing something more Wonder Woman-y!

TVGuide.com: Well, TVGuide.com’s poll showed you love - and I didn’t even tamper with it.

Carpenter: I’m so grateful for that. I’m dying to kick butt as Wonder Woman. Itching to kick butt! In my last year of Angel, I was really pregnant and I couldn’t do any butt-kicking, so I would really like this opportunity to work with Joss and take it to a new level.
