Looks like someone had the guts to grab six minutes of David E Kelley’s Wonder Woman pilot and put it online for all to see.

TELEVISION: NBC says YES to Stan Lee’s Guardian

It seems that anytime Stan Lee attaches his name to anything, people automatically grab onto it thinking it will be the next big Spider-Man, or Fantastic Four, or Striperalla.  NBC is hoping to hit that kind of gold again with Lee’s The Guardian Project.

If you don’t already know, the Guardian Project is a series of superheroes based on the National Hockey League’s 30 teams.  And with the NHL Championship concluding last night, this seems like the perfect time to roll out the announcement.

The conglom has taken a minority equity stake in the property that is being developed as a TV series, films, comicbooks, games, licensed merchandise and theme park attractions.

Tight now everything is in the Promotional Idea stage, but who knows… next year we could see the Vancouver Canuck superhero mascot rise again.. but will probably be stomped on by the Boston Bruin.

TELEVISION: Wonder Woman without pants (what might have been)

During the whole Wonder Woman in pants debacle that plagued David E. Kelley’s pilot for the television series, word started to spread that Wonder Woman would have multiple costumes, including the expected swimsuit version we’ve all known and loved for years.

Wonder Woman TV did the leg work and found this pic that shows Adrianne Palicki without pants.

TELEVISION: NBC kicks Wonder Woman to the curb

Looks like we won’t get to see David E. Kelley’s take on Wonder Woman, as NBC has decided to pass on the show, according to the Hollywood Reporter.

The drama, produced by Warner Bros. TV, is a reinvention of the iconic DC comic in which Wonder Woman (Adrianne Palicki) is a vigilante crime-fighter in Los Angeles but also a successful corporate executive trying to balance all the elements of her extraordinary life. Joining Palicki is Elizabeth Hurley, Tracie Thoms and Cary Elwes. Jeff Reiner (The Event) directed the pilot.

Part of the reason for the pass is lackluster buzz surrounding the show, which, if you’ve been reading this site for any length of time, you know that translates to utter hatred for the idea, look, and concept of the show from many of the Intardwebz people.

With Wonder Woman and Locke & Key getting let go, I guess we’ll all have to satiate ourselves with another season of Chuck.

TELEVISION: Meet Steve Trevor

We know that Adriene Palicki has been cast as Wonder Woman in the David K. Kelley Wonder Woman series, and we know Elizabeth Hurley will play bad-girl Veronica Cale.  But what about Steve Trevor?  Deadline reports that Justin Bruening has been cast as the the former army vet who now works for the Justice Department.

TELEVISION: Wonder Woman logo

Shooting is going on right now for the television Wonder Woman series.  Someone was on set, and snapped this picture of one of the seat backs, and shows off the logo/symbol for the series.

Considering the changes going on in the Wonder Woman comics, I actually don’t mind the new logo.  We’ll see if it shows up in the show or elsewhere in the series.

Elizabeth Hurley is on set right now shooting her scenes – take the jump for a look.

Wonder Woman headed to NBC

In a late breaking, surprise move, NBC television has given the greenlight to David E. Kelley’s Wonder Woman series.  Earlier in the year, NBC had shown interest, but with certain execs leaving, no one would commit to the project.  Now with Bob Greenblatt in place, WBTV has been given the go ahead to take the shelved project and get it into production.

The project is described as 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.

Well… I guess it could be worse… couldn’t it?
