If anybody's wondering where I am in this thread, the answer is "watching eagerly with a gigantic bowl of popcorn". :lol:

I am not sure this thread is still open but I would like to put my two cents in. There is an Chinese actress from, Taiwan actually, her name is shu Qi. She is a great actress and does great martial arts scenes. I think she would be perfect, she is tall athletic and Chinese.

I do not know if she can act, because she is a singer and not an actress. *BUT* if she can act then there is a Dutch heavy metal singer named Floor Jansen. She is 6' 1", natural brown hair, and has an athletic build.

How about Gwen Christie of Game of Thrones/Star wars? She's a 6'3" former Gymnast. we just need to darken that gold mop of hers.

Again, I might take Mark Damon in drag in order to get a series. But really, there's no point in picking people. If a show should be made, they'll put in who they want and if the show is decent we will embrace her.

How about casting her as Alice Truman, and no dye needed.

I've never pictured Alice as over 6' and able to beat a man senseless with just 1 thumb.

but whatever gets the movie made!

I've never pictured her as petite. The only really defining characteristic I remember from textev is "Blonde, with blond hunks for staff officers."

Since this thread has been re-awakened, I have a suggestion for Queen Elizabeth III: Jasmine Breinburg. You may remember her as the girl who lost her phone in the 2012 London Olympics Opening Ceremony. Since getting that big break, she has done some serious acting.
