If the Justice League Dark movie ever gets m,ade, I think that Zatanna has the potential to a the breakout star. She has the most normal appearance and attitude of the group and would be more accessible to the movie audience thatn some of the more outlandish and flamboyant characters. It all depends on the script and casting of course, but I think there's a lot of potential there.
The fishnets won't hurt her popularity any either!
ReplyDeleteBut, the thigh-highs most definitely proved hazardous to her health!*
ReplyDelete*I honestly remember all those urban legends from the Seventies about people breaking their legs from tripping over their own elevator shoes.
I can really see Doctor Doom wanting to limit her with any scheme of his involving magic.
ReplyDeleteBut I can see the movie producers ruining the character making her some sillycone enhanced blond rather what she is because it is what they feel they need to do. Personally I'd like an actress with a slight Eastern European scent. I did like her appearance on Smallville.
@GH: Maybe they'll split the difference...and have Zatanna portrayed by Cassandra Patterson (of "Elivra" fame).
ReplyDeleteAnon: I think Cassandra's too old for that role. I'd want someone in her thirties. Samira Mohamed Ali might do, and for me the Welsh accent would be a plus.
ReplyDeleteGeneral: JLD might work on TV, in the Arrowverse. John Constantine is already established as working there (besides his appearance on Arrow, he reportedly will be appearing in the upcoming season of Legends of Tomorrow), his own series laid the groundwork for the Spectre, and Ragman has also appeared on Arrow; that much is a good start. Add one or two others (Zatanna, Deadman, Swamp Thing, or Black Orchid seem good) and it could work.
However, I do recognize that the current project is for a movie, so we'll just have to see how it works out.
@BG: she wouldn't be too old to play Madame Xanadu!
ReplyDelete@my namesake: Serinda Swan should definitely reprise her SMALLVILLE role for the silver screen.
Nahhhhhhhhhh! Jordana Brewster would be a better feature film Zee.
