Posted October 2, 2010 After years of trying to get DC's Amazonian Princess, Wonder Woman, to the big screen, there's now some serious movement to get her on the small one. According to THR's The Live Feed, freakin' David E. Kelley (Ally McBeal, Boston Legal, The Practice) is developing the modern day reboot of the super-strong, scantily-clad comic book heroine for Warner Bros. Television! For years, the likes of Joss Whedon and Joel Silver have attempted to get a Wonder Woman movie off the ground, but it never worked out. So now it looks like the character is returning to the medium that brought her great fame in the 1970s, via the classic (albiet very cheesy) Lynda Carter series. There are no more details as of yet, including a possible network, but that doesn't mean that we can't kick off a storm of rampant internet speculation! Who will play her? What will her new costume look like? Will the storylines be faithful to the comics? And what will a guy like David E. Kelly -- known for his dialouge-heavy legal series -- do with an action-oriented character like Wonder Woman? http://uk.tv.ign.com/articles/112/1124948p1.html Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 2, 2010 Kelly....really? Let's not forget Fox actively PAID to turn down his last series (pilot was made and apparently some legal cause meant if they didn't want it they'd have to pay a fine or something). Colour me unenthusiastic. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 2, 2010 I do wonder as well if the idea of live action Wonder Woman has become more interesting since her costume change: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted February 2, 2011 Some questions answered about the new TV show: http://www.comicbookmovie.com/fansites/scifimediazone/news/?a=29211 Sounds pretty crap to me Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted February 2, 2011 Sounds awful... I don't understand why they don't get someone who can actually write a good script to do their stuff... DC certainly has enough money to do so. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted February 2, 2011 I heard in a different article she'll be a vigilante at night, a high-powered executive by day. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted February 2, 2011 Yeah it sounds awesome..... And by awesome I mean AIDS. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted February 2, 2011 (edited) Some other bits from The Futon Critic (the original source and an overall awesome source for TV stuff): The script is 72 pages. David E. Kelly plans to include Katy Perry....so if you weren't doubting it before -- But WB has asked for it to be removed. Swines! Oh wait the inclusion of Katy Perry may be in that apparently Diane loves pop music, naturally.

Posted February 2, 2011 I could see this working if they went OTT with shite. If it's serious, it is destined to fail. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted February 2, 2011 It sounds like it could work on The CW* but NBC...really? They are desperate. *who are doing their own zombie apocalypse show BTW. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted February 2, 2011 Hey, leave the CW alone. They're doing a bang up job with Smallville. No I'm lying they ruined it. Even more than it was already. Five years ago. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted February 2, 2011 Hey, leave the CW alone. They're doing a bang up job with Smallville. No I'm lying they ruined it. Even more than it was already. Five years ago. I wasn't criticising The CW. They just have a curtain niche and they do it reasonably well. They're just not the most complicated of shows. (Except Veronica Mars but that was meant to be on Showtime/HBO originally :p) http://n-europe.com/forum/showpost.php?p=1273919&postcount=6 I said The CW + Zombies (+ Teenagers).

Posted February 3, 2011 (edited) I have only a passing familiarity with Wonder Woman but this sounds awful. You have a demi-goddess with an invisible jet and the ability to deflect bullets with her wrists, and you basically stick her in what sounds like some kind of bastardised Ally McBeal rehash. Because that's what women want to see, right? Edited February 3, 2011 by gaggle64 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
