NBC Declines Wonder Woman TV Series

Written by: Stoic Taco

The much hyped Wonder Woman TV series from David E Kelley and starring Adrianne Palicki is pretty much dead in the water after NBC didn’t pick up the series as reported by The Hollywood Reporter.

I don’t think this decision comes as a big surprise to anyone following the constant barrage of criticism levelled at the show since its inception. From having David E Kelley step in as creator, to having a convoluted and weak storyline, to the explosive online reaction to the first images of the costume (forcing a slight change), and finally to having Elizabeth Hurley as a once off villain.

NBC declining to pick up the show has pretty much killed any chance of the pilot ever being broadcast, unless as posted on Superhero Hype, they release the show online or through iTunes.

Personally I would love to see another network and step in and give the show a chance. I am sure it will probably be the train wreck that most people think it will be, but given that there are many TV shows out there right now which don’t deserve to be (looking at you reality TV) how bout you give a shot to a Princess Diana of Themyscira.

Wonder Woman in action!

Greetings all,

So you know that when the original Woman Woman image was release there was nothing but negative comments all over the Internet, ranging from “where are the stars?”, “it’s not patriotic enough”, and “she looks like a random dressing up as WW” etc

Well SuperHeroHype has some brand new pics of Wonder Woman (Adrianne Palicki) in action…seriously how can anyone be complaining?!?!

Check these out

Um am I the only one who think the Adrianne looks awesome!?!?

<sigh>

Adrianne Palicki as Wonder Woman!

Greetings all,

I’ve been posting a few articles about the upcoming Wonder Woman TV show created by David E Kelley and starring Adrianne Palicki and I think expressed some concerns that the show may not be too successful.

That is until I saw Ms Palicki in full Wonder Woman costume this morning…it took me a few minutes to pick my jaw up off the floor and type this out…

Mr E Kelley, I’ve changed my mind…you have a success on your hands…it doesn’t even matter that the story sounds a little lame and may not interest the male viewer, just give Wonder Woman as much screen time as possible and we’ll be happy.

If Baywatch can run for years based on Pamela Anderson in a red swimsuit then Adrianne Palicki should ensure a minimum 3 season run!

Also, one last thing to think about…the first episode is going to have Adrianne Palicki as Wonder Woman and Elizabeth Harley guest starring as a villain…

Happy Saturday.

Elizabeth Hurley joins ‘Wonder Woman’

Greetings all,

Elizabeth Hurley announced on her Twitter feed that she will be joining the cast of ‘Wonder Woman’ for the pilot episode!

“Thrilled to be doing the NBC pilot Wonder Woman. I’ll be playing the evil villain. Can’t wait.”

Ms Hurley playing a villain…this is great news! Why, you ask?

I have one word for you…Bedazzled.

Ms Hurley played the biggest villain of them all in wonderfully funny 2000 film, co-starring Brendan Fraser. Not only was she great in it, very funny, but smokingly HOT!

Surely I can’t be the only one who would be keen to see Adrianne Palicki face off against Liz Hurley…even if it just for the pilot.

And judging by the initial leaked reports of the Wonder Woman script, the addition of Elizabeth Hurley could be the best thing about the series….sorry David E. Kelley.

Wonder Woman Announced!

Greetings all,

Let’s give a big hand to Adrianne Palicki who has just been announced as the new Wonder Woman in David E Kelley’s TV reboot!

 

Many of us were holding our breath for a Christina Hendricks <sigh> announcement  however twas not to be…however casting a *relative* unknown might just be the best choice for our heroine.

I say relative unknown because Miss Palicki is best known for her role as Tyra Collette on Friday Night Lights and may not be a household name…just yet.

Could this be the big breakout role that will serve as a platform to international stardom or will this reboot will doomed to be a one season failure?

Superherohype reports that “The series pilot is a reinvention of the iconic DC Comics title in which Wonder Woman aka Diana Prince – is a vigilante crime fighter in Los Angeles but also a successful corporate executive and a modern woman trying to balance all of the elements of her extraordinary life.”

I am a tad concerned at the words “trying to balance” because it reminds of Ally McBeal trying to balance her complicated life…which was also created by Mr E. Kelley.

Surely this reboot will not become Ally McBeal with Super Powers…will it?

Only time will tell….

No ‘Wonder Woman’ for Christina Hendricks?

Oh Christina, say it ain’t so…

When asked about the the rumour that she’s in talks for the lead role in David E Kelley’s TV version of ‘Wonder Woman’ Christina Hendricks replied “No one’s talked to me”…

Full story is here;

This answer has dashed the hopes of many a fan who love her portrayal of the wonderfully in-charge Joan Harris in the award winning TV show ‘Mad Men’.

We can only hope that the casting agent in charge realises the error of their ways and quickly jumps on the phone to call Mrs hendricks and asking her to play Wonder Woman!

The only question that remains now…can Wonder Woman be a redhead?
