Wonder Woman(NBC) *Spoilers!*

Wow this thread keeps trucking along despite not having anything to talk about.
Just joining the Internet, I see.
There's very little difference between Clark fucking a monkey and Clark fucking Lois Lane.

Our very own Guy Gardener has the right approach to talking about nothing. :bolian:
 
Wow this thread keeps trucking along despite not having anything to talk about. A couple of people that got to see pilot screenings said that WW was atrocious. I doubt we will see this in any form other than it being leaked on youtube.

Exactly- we will see it eventually. They may also release it as a DVD, and apparently The CW was making noises about wanting the show at some point, so it's possible WW could end up on another network.

Or, unless DEK has made an announcement saying he's through with WW there's nothing saying they might not even make another pilot and try again. After all, it worked for Star Trek.

Given that they were willing to run Smallville all those years, the CW really should give this a look-see - that walk-to-camera is more interesting than Welling was capable of.

For that matter, there's no reason Warner Bros. couldn't let Kelley go on his way and hire someone else to make a second pilot. After all, it's their concept, not his. And it wouldn't be the first time that a pilot produced by one person has been revamped by someone different. Remember M.A.N.T.I.S., the show with Carl Lumbly as a paraplegic superhero? The pilot movie was directed by Sam Raimi and written by Sam Hamm. The network didn't go for it, but they hired Bryce Zabel to completely reinvent the show, starting over again with the same lead actor and character but changing everything else and redoing his origin.
 
I'm guessing this particular pilot is dead. I'd agree though that there is no reason that another attempt couldn't be recommissioned in the future. In fact I'd expect that to be the case. We are unlikely going to hear any kind of announcement of that any time soon though.
 
I still don't see how this concept could really be adapted for modern TV without either being corny, or unrecognisable from the original premise. I wouldn't expect a remake in the near future, if ever.
 
A live action Wonder Woman project of some kind is still at the top of Geoff Johns "to do" list he revealed at last year's comic con. To some degree this attempt came across as half-assed. The fact that all networks passed on the first draft of the pilot should have been a red alert to DC Ent in the first place. The fact that NBC dropped it after picking up the tab to make it in the first place should be a no brainer to them.
 
if half a million tween girls watch the wonder woman pilot, and 20 thousand of them walk into a comic shop demanding wonder woman comics... That would triple the sales on a very low selling book.

The problem has always been that "regular" people like maybe Sarah Palin don't want to buy comics or wait a month to buy the next issue, even if they would read everything anyone ever put in front of them or they just simply found in the reading bucket in the loo.

Only the young or the hopelessly addicted have the force of will to put up with comic shops, even if they sell coffee.
 
I'm still peeved by her description of the great unwashed as "Hockey Moms and Joe Sixpack" On one flank she's saying men are nothing without alcohol and on the other that women are nothing without their children, as if all the barren teetotallers out there don't count.
 
Joe One-Pack.

I think I'll pitch an episode.

Dr Psycho, a dwarf telepath villain from the comics, tries and succeeds to steal Diana's golden larriat of truth because he's into autoerotic asphyxiation and she has to find and stop him before he finds a dark room with a door knob at juu-u-uust the right height.

Isn't that why God invented subscriptions? And weekly publishing cycles?
 
And couriers and automatic bank payments.

No romance.

Besides any of that would require admitting that they had a problem.

These "normal" people I was talking about are the sort that sign up for 3 year Gym Memberships and thousands of dollars later they've never used more than the toilet.

It's madness think that such emotionally absent people could manage or control a subscription portfolio.
 
Not realistic at all, but you know, I'd buy this if they just finished up the effects and threw it out there as a direct-to-DVD movie. Maybe that'd help recover a bit of the cost that went into it. At the moment it's not doing anything but taking up space on shelves and hard drives. I know, I know, just a fanboy's pipe dream.
