My Idea/Outline for a Wonder Woman TV pilot

 After seeing the pilot breakdown of Wonder Woman, I wasn't feeling it. This is maybe a Wonder Woman Earth-543 pilot, but not the one we have grown to love all these years.

So as I mulled over this, I thought I would create my own script outline for my favorite amazon.
  • Diana would come to America in the 'classic way'. She would save Steve Trevor, win the tournament, and bring him back to the US.
  • Her mother (Queen Hippolyta) has taught her everything she knows, however the Queen has secret past... She has been to man's world before. 
  • As Diana travels to America, the mystical field between Themyscira and the US closes, leaving Diana trapped in our plane.
  • In America, Diana will be completely 'Amazonian', meaning she will not be familiar with man's world. She will be naive and very guarded. 
  • She will meet Julia Kapatelis, Steve Trevor's former history teacher/mentor and her daughter, Vanessa. 
  • Steve wants to keep Diana a secret, considering he works for a shadow part of the government who would love to learn more about a magical isle of Amazons.
  • Julia agrees to help Steve and teach Diana English and basic social norms. Diana actually lives with Julia.
  • During all of this, Diana falls for Steve and he also develops feelings for her.
  • Steve goes back to work, but his organization is breached by the evil group called, the H.I.V.E.
  • This group has killed Steve's colleagues and now they've focused their sites on him. 
  • The H.I.V.E. sends one of their best assassins, Cheshire to kill Steve. 
  • One night as Steve takes Diana out on a date, Cheshire attacks. However, Cheshire has no idea that Diana is not an average girl. 
  • The two women battle it out, the match ends as a stalemate.
  • Later, Cheshire reports to the H.I.V.E. about Steve's 'Super Agent'. The H.I.V.E. sends Cheshire and a group of mercenaries to take out Steve and Diana.
  • The two are attacked again, but this time it's in public.
  • Diana stops Cheshire and the her team, but now the world knows that she has superpowers.
  • Diana's life gets interesting as the media gets involved and names her 'Wonder Woman'.
  • Now the party really starts.
Okay that's my take. I thought I would remix her origin a little and bring in some other DC Comic Characters

If I was going to write a Halloween movie...


After watching the remake of Halloween, I thought, if given the ability to write a Halloween flick what would I do?

Well, I would completely turn it upside down. I will give y'all the lowdown in my famous bullet point style.
  • I would erase the Busta Rhymes/Tyra Banks version. It never happened.
  • Laurie Strode would die, but by natural causes.
  • After Michael appears in Haddonfield and slaughters several people: Laurie's son from H20, Danny and the baby (who's 15 at this point) from Halloween 6, Tommy and Lindsey, from the 1st Halloween flick would finally meet. Later in film, Jamie, Laurie's daughter, would return as well (I would explain that she didn't die in Halloween 6, because it wasn't her).
  • Lindsey joins them after her son is murdered by Michael.
  • The group will try to end the horrid legacy of Michael Myers. After researching everything, including the Thorn mythos, they learn about a family curse.
  • Michael is cursed from a old family ordeal.
  • The family group travels to Santa Mira, California to learn more about the curse and the people behind it.
  • The people behind the curse have bigger plans for Michael. His murders are a part of an ancient Druid spell for complete power.
  • The group also learns that "evil folks" has Michael's soul and controls him. They are the reason why he kills.
  • Then, the real fun begins.
That's my take. Crazy, I know, but how else can you make sense of mute killer in a Captain Kirk mask?
