Actress Satu Rautaharju, who stars as Misty in the upcoming "Communication Breakdown," is remaining tight-lipped on the news that she is the frontrunner to play "Wonder Woman" in an upcoming big screen adaptation of the comic book warrior. The New York Post is reporting that the twenty-two year old beauty may soon follow in the footsteps of recently-cast "Superman Returns" star Brandon Routh as the latest virtual unknown to take over a legendary super hero franchise. Routh, with brief stints on such shows as "Will & Grace" and "Gilmore Girls," beat out such established stars as Brendan Fraser and Nicolas Cage to play the new Man of Steel, whereas Rautaharju, from such WB shows as "One Tree Hill" and "Dawson's Creek," now seems to have the edge on such high-priced actresses as Catherine Zeta-Jones and Angelina Jolie. "The names I keep hearing seem unlikely," says Writer/Director/Producer Richard O'Sullivan. "Jolie and Zeta-Jones carry huge price tags and are already attached to franchises. Angelina's doing Tomb Raider. Catherine's in Zorro. Then you've got Charisma [Carpenter] doing Playboy, which Warner Brothers may or may not frown upon. Mini Driver is actively campaigning for it and she's a terrific actress, but I just can't see her getting the gig."
