Actress and fanboy favorite Rosario Dawson delivers a knockout punch as the voice of strong-willed Amazonian warrior Artemis in Wonder Woman, the next entry in the popular series of DC Universe animated original PG-13 movies due from Warner Premiere, DC Comics and Warner Bros. Animation on March 3, 2009. Warner Home Video will distribute the all-new film, which will also be available OnDemand and Pay-Per-View as well as available for download day and date, March 3, 2009.
Dawson, whose voiceover experience was previously limited to a single episode of Robot Chicken, completely immersed herself in the warrior mindset to bring Artemis to animated life. Dawson’s resonating take on the focused, powerful tones and dry, no-nonsense (and thus, unintentional humor) approach of Artemis perfectly complements the work done by the rest of the stellar voice cast, which includes Keri Russell, Nathan Fillion, Virginia Madsen and Alfred Molina.

Nathan Fillion, star of Joss Whedon’s “Firefly” and “Serenity,” will do double duty this March as the title character in ABC’s upcoming series “Castle” and the voice of Steve Trevor in “Wonder Woman,” the next entry in the popular series of DC Universe animated original PG-13 movies due from Warner Premiere, DC Comics and Warner Bros. Animation on March 3, 2009.
Warner Home Video will distribute the all-new “Wonder Woman,” which will also be available OnDemand and Pay-Per-View as well as available for download day and date, March 3, 2009.
Fillion, a fan favorite for his leading role in Whedon’s space-age western series and film, as well as the online phenomenon “Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog,” has been featured in a string of primetime series. After his four-season run on “Two Guys, a Girl and a Pizza Place,” Fillion did his Whedon tour before heading “Drive” for Fox, joining the ensemble of “Desperate Housewives,” and now assuming the title role in “Castle.” The latter features Fillion as a hugely popular mystery/horror writer who helps police solve crimes.
The Canadian-born actor has also enjoyed memorable roles in several feature films, including Steven Spielberg’s Academy Award-winning “Saving Private Ryan” and last year’s critically-acclaimed “Waitress.” The latter film paired Fillion with Keri Russell, who also provides the voice of the title character in “Wonder Woman.”
Fillion found time away from his upcoming series (“Castle” debuts March 9 on ABC) to chat about his tendency to play the anti-hero, an unrelenting Halo addiction, Canadian super heroes, and Keri Russell’s tiara.

Academy Award nominee Virginia Madsen brings an impassioned, stately voice to the role of Hippolyta, Queen of the Amazons, for “Wonder Woman,” the next entry in the popular series of DC Universe animated original PG-13 movies.
Warner Premiere, DC Comics and Warner Bros. Animation are set to release the all-new film on March 3, 2009, distributed by Warner Home Video. The animated original movie will also be available OnDemand and Pay-Per-View as well as available for download day and date, March 3, 2009.
Madsen has moved seamlessly through all genres of performance – from mainstream feature films and independent releases to primetime television and animated films/series. No category is beyond her scope – and the fanboy realm has a prominent place on her IMDB roll call.
Madsen made a splash in one of her first films as Princess Irulan in “Dune,” then forever endeared herself to the horror fandom as Helen Lyle in “Candyman” (for which she won the 1992 Saturn Award in the Best Actress category). She has made guest starring appearances on “Star Trek: Voyager” and “Earth 2,” helped Christopher Lambert return in “Highlander II: The Quickening” and done notable work in super hero animation. Madsen voiced Dr. Sarah Corwin and Roulette in four episodes of “Justice League” and Arella in an episode of “Teen Titans,” as well as a two-episode turn as Silver Sable in “Spider-Man.”

What can be learned from the back cover of the upcoming Wonder Woman animated movie DVD?
a) Wonder Woman has a nice butt
b) Ares looks like Christopher Lambert
c) Steve Trevor is a cocky fighter pilot
d) The next animated DVD from Warner Home Video will be Green Lantern.
Or – “Make A Hawk A Dove, End A War With Love, Make A Lah Farnah FOO!”
Sorry, I was never really clear on what that last lyric was. For months now, Gail Simone has seemingly been building up to something epic with her work on Wonder Woman, and it seems that we’re finally going to get a glimpse of what it is. Last issue, yet another strange creature arrived to challenge the Amazing Amazon, but this time, the story ends differently…

Here’s a gift from our friends at Warner Home Video – more images from the upcoming Wonder Woman animated direct to DVD movie.
Criminal investigation meets Greek mythology when current primetime television stars David McCallum and Marg Helgenberger assume the voices of Zeus and Hera, respectively, for “Wonder Woman,” the next entry in the popular series of DC Universe animated original PG-13 films.
McCallum, known to current TV audiences as Dr. Donald “Ducky” Mallard in the hit CBS series “Navy NCIS (Navel Criminal Investigative Service),” adds “Wonder Woman” to an animation resume that already includes the DC Universe movie “Batman Gotham Knight” and TV series “Ben 10” and “The Replacements.” Animation is but a side gig for McCallum, though, the actor having achieved legendary status for his two best known roles – in film as Lt.-Cmdr. Eric Ashley-Pitt in “The Great Escape” and on TV as super spy Illya Kuryakin in “The Man From U.N.C.L.E.” During his 62-year career, McCallum has played many notable characters in fanboy TV favorites like “Jeremiah,” “The Outer Limits” (1963-64 & 1997), “Babylon 5,” “SeaQuest DSV, “Alfred Hitchcock Presents,” “The A-Team,” “The Invisible Man” and “Night Gallery,” to name a few.
Helgenberger is an anchor for the patriarch of CBS’ current crime lineup, “CSI: Crime Scene Investigation.” The actress is approaching her 200th episode as Catherine Willows, the series’ female lead. Helgenberger , remembered for her breakthrough, Emmy Award-winning performance in “China Beach,” is no stranger to the sci-fi genre, having starred in “Species” and its sequel on the big screen. The 2005 People’s Choice Award winner as “Favorite Female Television Star” has been seen in a variety of roles ranging from feature films (“Erin Brockovich,” “Bad Boys,” “Always”) to top-rated TV series (“ER,” “thirtysomething,” “Frasier”).
And now, McCallum and Helgenberger get to play gods. The two highly-regarded performers answered a few brief questions during their recording sessions for “Wonder Woman.” Here’s what they had to say …

Alfred Molina makes villainy a suave, ruthless affair as the voice of Ares, the God of War, in “Wonder Woman,” an all-new DC Universe animated original movie presented by Warner Premiere, DC Comics and Warner Bros. Animation and set for distribution on DVD and Blu-ray March 3, 2009 by Warner Home Video.
Today’s “Wonder Woman” Q&A … meet the ever-humble Alfred Molina, voice of Ares, the God of War …
Warner Bros. Animation, DC Comics, and Warner Premiere have announced the upcoming Wonder Woman animated movie will have a big screen premiere at the New York Comic Con on February 6, 2009. The event will take place at 8:30 PM at the IGN Theater at the Javits Center.
Following the screening a Q&A with producer Bruce Timm and other special guests.
Above: Steve Trevor gets his first look at the Amazons in “Wonder Woman,” the all-new DC Universe animated original movie will be distributed by Warner Home Video on March 3, 2009.
Andrea Romano, arguably the best known casting/dialogue director on the animation scene today, brings the voices of yet another DC Universe animated original film to life with “Wonder Woman.” Warner Premiere, DC Comics and Warner Bros. Animation are set to release the all-new film on March 3, 2009, as distributed by Warner Home Video. The action-packed movie will also be available OnDemand and Pay-Per-View as well as available for download day and date, March 3, 2009.
“Wonder Woman” is the fourth DC Universe film in the ongoing series, and Romano has returned – after the first three successful ventures – to cast and direct the likes of Keri Russell, Nathan Fillion, Alfred Molina, Virginia Madsen, Oliver Platt and Rosario Dawson. In an industry that once treated voiceovers with the anonymity of the witness protection plan, Romano has become a household name to legions of animation fans. Just name a show – “Animaniacs” or “Smurfs,” “Batman: The Animated Series” and any of Warner Bros. Animation’s super hero series – and fans shout “Andrea Romano” in their beloved credits roll call in harmony with names like “Bruce Timm” and “Alan Burnett.”
In which Genocide walks the Earth
The DCU experienced a year without Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman, and since the One Year Later return, things have not been so good. Superman got his powers back, only to discover he is no longer the last son of Krypton thanks to the New Krypton story line. Batman went on a spiritual journey in which he killed Batman, returned as Batman, only to “die” in the pages of the R.I.P. arc and Final Crisis (two different titles to kill Batman? That’s one bad S.O.B.). Now it’s Wonder Woman’s turn to experience the one thing that might be here undoing – Genocide.
