In case you haven't heard, there's a new Wonder Woman tv show coming this fall.
Click here for an article about it.
I personally would like to see this, as Wonder Woman is one of my fave DC characters. As long as it's not as campy as that 70's version, I think we'll be fine.

I'm not sure how you can avoid campy with a name like Wonder Woman.

I'm so scared that it will be wierd and, well, bad. I loved WW, too, but there's just so many ways it can go wrong.

The funny thing is, since write up was posted in Oct of last year. There has been so much following.

At one point in Dec, writer-producer David E. Kelley was being brought in to launch a new Wonder Woman TV series and it was yet a done deal.

Then in Jan, it was a done deal and the pilot will air on NBC sometime in 2012.

It was rumored that the director would be McG but that wasn't hasn't confirmed, but parts of that script have been leaked to the Internet.

Notes about script are the following.

[spoiler]Wonder Woman lives her days as Diana Themyscira, head of Themyscira Industries. Bleeding Cool writes, "[I]t is well known in this world that Ms. T and Wonder W are the same - think Tony Stark and Iron Man from the end of their first film on."

Secretly, however, she has another identity: Diana Prince. (How she has time for a third identity when she's not running a business or saving the world is anybody's guess.)

Wonder Woman will include a few familiar characters from the DC comic book, including Myndi Myers, Etta Candy, and Veronica Cale. Love interest Steve Trevor makes an appearance; although they had been romantically involved in the past, they've broken up by the start of the series.


"When she's Diana Prince she's a mousey Miley Stewart, when she's Diana Themiscyra [sic] she's the Hanna Montana of businesswomen, and when she's Wonder Woman she's Wonder Woman - which is precisely twice in the whole episode."[/spoiler]

In Feb, Deadline reports that Jeffrey Reiner (NOT actor Jeremy Renner) is coming close to a deal with NBC to direct the much talked about Wonder Woman TV pilot for NBC.

Reiner is no stranger to directing sci-fi, having directed the Caprica TV pilot as well as a couple of episodes of The Event and the short-lived Surface. The Friday Night Lights former director and executive producer would probably be a great shoo-in for the gig.

Adrienne Palicki will play Wonder Woman in NBC's reboot series
