WHAT? NBC? WONDER WOMAN?
I just got the news! NBC orders Wonder Woman!
Looks like Wonder Woman may be back on TV soon after all. It's been a turbulent month for the DC heroine, as Warner Bros brought their new David E. Kelley scripted version of the character to the networks, only to see them all pass. Now though, Deadline reports NBC has made a surprise move and ordered Wonder Woman as a pilot.
When Deadline reported the story on the networks passing, it was said that for NBC, it simply wasn't a consideration because the network was in such a state of flux and the project was too big for them to take on at the time. Now though, just a couple of weeks later, Comcast taking over NBC has been finalized and new president Robert Greenblatt is going forward with some big moves – with Wonder Woman a particularly notable one.
We now know David E. Kelley wasn't being overly optimistic when I spoke to him last week, in the wake of the networks initially passing on Wonder Woman, and he said, "Everybody is confident that we're gonna see it."
What? Really? Okay? But I'm not feeling this retelling part:
"a reinvention of the iconic D.C. comic in which Wonder Woman -- aka Diana Prince -- is a vigilante crime fighter in L.A. but also a successful corporate executive and a modern woman trying to balance all of the elements of her extraordinary life."
Ooookay. I'm not down with that, but we will see how this goes. I'm really scared but excited!

I do not like that whole vigilante retelling at ALL......
I will initiate a letter writing campaign if necessary.....
Why am i not so happy? I feel if this gets on air with in a year they are going to find a Palin look-a-like and attack the those of us who dis-like Palin and the kids of America which are our future.
This NBC is ran by a Repuke. Sometimes I thnik too much.
I'll give it a fair chance. Making her a modern woman is a good thing because it's keeping up with the times.
I am not happy because it is NBC. NBC fucks over ALL of their potentially good shows the minute they don't bring in BOFFO ratings.
