WTF? David E. Kelley Developing a Wonder Woman TV Show?
THR says the suits at Warner Bros. are currently attempting to get that very same David E. Kelley to develop a new TV version of Wonder Woman. Since the movie (including a version by Joss Whedon) has been in development hell seemingly forever, with no signs of ever breaking free, going the TV route may be your best shot at seeing a flesh-and-blood Wonder Woman fighting crime anytime soon.
Of course, a new “Wonder Woman” TV series will be a rebooted version that will, no doubt, offer up a more contemporary Amazon Princess. Since Wonder Woman herself has always been represented as a major feminist character (the, uh, classic “costume” notwithstanding, though her more “modern” look would work better in today’s world — they did “revamp” her for a reason, right?), bringing her into the modern world seems like a no-brainer.
Obviously it’s all about the presentation here. Present it correctly, and you have a hit. Do it badly, and you have a show that people will mock.
