No Wonder Woman Reboot Coming

I was excited over the potential to see a rebooted version of Wonder Women.  If Battlestar Galactica, a cheesy show, can be remade into a major league great show, how can we not do some justice to Wonder Woman.

But it looks like I won’t be able to break out my protective bracelets or purchase an adult version of my beloved underoos (which I wore as a a costume until they fell apart) because no network was interested in picking up the script from David E. Kelley.

I know that The Bionic Woman reboot didn’t work, but Wonder Woman updated for our time could rule.  Guess we have to settle for the Charlie’s Angels reboot.  I would personally rather have Wonder Woman.

The original was awesome. Campy sure, but awesome, nonetheless.

It would’ve been cool to see what David E. Kelly would’ve done with it.

Bummer. I am a big fan of the original and was looking forward to the modern update….; (

I, for one, am disappointed. Then again, who could have possibly taken over from Lynda Carter?

Aaw man! I would have loved to see a “Wonder Woman” film! All the superhero movies that have come out this decade so far have been so male dominant. You have the ones with the lone male hero, like Nolan’s “Batman” films, or the new “Spiderman” films, “Iron Man”, “The Incredible Hulk” etc. Or the ones with a team featuring only one female member, like “Fantastic four” or “Kick Ass”.
Even in “X-men”, which have more than one female hero, the films focus on Wolverine. Where is the film STARRING a woman crime fighter?
So sad. Oh well, maybe they will make a “X-men origins: Storm”… One can only hope!

NBC changed its mind and picked the show up.
They got nothing to lose anyway being that they are in 4th place out of 4 with the big networks when it comes to shows.
GE wasn’t interested because they don’t take risks, which is why NBC is losing money.

But now that NBC/Universal has been bought by Comcast, it looks like they are going to take some risks to get them back in the game. At least one good thing came out of this huge deal.

I’m actually a bit relieved. Hollywood keeps ruining classics left and right. I don’t really expect a remake of Wonder Woman to go well.
