Supergirl Lives (Tony take note...) - Mike Hanson - 03-28-2007

Tricia Helfer is SUPERGIRL?

From Entertainmentwise.com:

It seems that Supergirl is to be set for a remake.

Rumours from joblo.com are circulating round the net that Warner have a script commissioned and are looking for a ‘college age’ actress to take the role of Supergirl.

Hotly tipped is star of TV series ‘Battlestar Galactica’, Tricia Helfer, although at 33 she is reportedly deemed ‘a little old’ for the role.

Purists may not be too happy either, as the studio is intent on making the film, er, ‘of interest’ to younger men, so expect a tighter costume and a looser plot.

The 80’s original featured thespian Peter O’Toole and Faye Dunaway, with young’un Helen Slater in the title role, but was universally panned and only one was made.

Well, maybe she'll be Superwoman and get a little peeved that everyone keeps calling her Supergirl.

Or something.

I mean, she IS Tricia Helfer. If she can nuke an entire civilization, then watch out....

My elder sister used to watch this film ad nauseum, so I had to watch it too. I thought it was pretty good (when I was a kid) but the thought of having to watch it again gives me a chill!

It's funny how Superman and Supergirl are both aimed at young men. Sort of like in 300, how the half naked men aren't really there to titilate the women, Superman isnt really designed to appeal to girls.

Tricia Helfer? Hmmm....not bad, but I still like Helen Slater. Big Grin

"City Slickers" was her last movie I saw.
