So the Wonder Woman TV show is happening

[mazman77]

Entertainment Weekly is reporting that NBC has picked up David E. Kelley's new "Wonder Woman" pilot after all! The network was the final one to pass on the show over a week ago, but that was before the new regime headed by chairman Robert Greenblatt was officially in place in light of the impending Comcast takeover. The magazine reports:

 

One factor that seemed to have sunk the Wonder Woman project the first time around was the price of rebooting the series, with the studio requiring a rich license fee to bring the iconic character back to life. But then, NBC has been down this road before: It rebooted Bionic Woman. Kelley’s take incorporated the superhero’s signature lasso, cuffs, and plane in the -script, and insiders said it was a serious, non-campy take on the DC Comics character.

 

Now the big question is who should play Wonder Woman?

My vote is Mila Kunis

Wow! I was surprised that David E. Kelley couldn't get such an iconic character to fly with a network, but even more surprised one changed its mind. Very cool.

 

More important than who plays Wonder Woman will likely be who scripts and directs the first few episodes.

Mila Kunis is a very cute girl, but isn't she something like 5' 2"? A bit tiny to play Wonder Woman, methinks

Yep, too small.

Hmmm, how about Olivia Munn?

I think Cobie Smulder's would be good in the role. She is 5'8" so may still need some camera work to look the part height wise.

YOWZA!!!

[VintageComics]

Yeah, she's terrific! Whatever they do I hope they don't choose somebody skinny. WW is supposed to be a Greek Amazon.

[Spyderfan]

Yeah, definitely has to be someone with lots of curves and long legs!

Cobie Smulders and Sofia Vergara will never work as they are major stars on hit shows and cant be missed

Yeah I know, but I'm a little leary of David Kelley taking this on. I liked Picket Fences and loved all of Boston Legal(except the last season). He a bit quarky for the Amazon princess. IMHO.

Sheldon from Big Bang Theory says they were "beefy gals".
