Yesterday Hollywood Hills reported a rumor that the sword wielding bad-ass Michonne would be played by True Blood's Rutina Wesley. She is best known for her role as Tara in the HBO Vampire show. The rumor originally started on a Walking Dead fan site and took on a life of it's own. While the Prometheus rumor was started by IMDB and that was also snuffed out by trueblood-online.com.

Gina Torres of Firefly would be really good in this role. But shes a little bit too old now.

EXCELLENT! i can't stand her in true blood.

God calm down people!
Its called acting!
She plays a character in True Blood, that's not who she really is.
Its not like she would play the same type of person in every acting job that she got.

Exactly, @MovieMann... youd think some of these people would know about roles and casting... like Tara is the only type of character Rutina could ever play...

Very, Very Bad decision. You need to be punished to the full extent.

@ moviemann

you maybe right,but i'm not willing to take that chance,she's bad in true blood who says she won't be bad in this.

i'm not the only one who feels this way.

@Jazzman YES! Great choice :D Bianca is awesome.


@MovieMann 100% agree with

"God calm down people!

Is CherryBomb getting prettier?? How is that possible!?
I'd cast an unknown for this part. give someone else a chance to shine.

Definitely Bianca Lawson now, she kicked ass on Buffy and is gorgeous.

Holy shit CherryBomb, that's the first time I've ever agreed with you.

I didn't even realize she played Kendra until you mentioned Buffy. She's not black enough for what I always imagined Michonne, but I wouldn't complain if they cast her.

@CriFlor

Wtf are you talking about, man? I've not seen Rutina in a role outside of True Blood, so I can't say if my dislike is for the character or the actress, but Tara sure as hell is a stupid, ghetto stereotype. She's nothing but loud and abrasive. She may not be a bitch, but she sure as Hell is whiny. I'm happy with how the last season ended.

Good news. I hear she got shot in the face in the finale for True Blood and I was happy. I then felt bad, but I hate her character on that show and damnit, I refuse to give her a chance to make me hate Michonne.

Thank God! Please NO light-skinned black women. We need a chocolate black woman in that role.

@CriFlor

Sorry man, but we're going to have to agree to disagree here. I don't see her as terribly smart, she lets her emotions get the better of her far too much. The specific moment when I went, "Yeah, you're an idiot" towards her was when she ran off to save Eggs knowing full well she'd just get mind controlled again.
