Wonder Woman TV Show In The Works

Wonder Woman is flying back to the small screen!

A modern-day version of the classic DC comic book superhero will be featured in an upcoming TV show, according to reports.

Showrunner David E. Kelley, who most notably worked on Ally McBeal, The Practice, and Boston Legal has been tapped to write and produce the new series, reports Deadline.

WHO DO YOU THINK would play a good Wonder Woman? Would you cast an unknown or hire an established actress?

You mean to tell me that Hollywood is doing something OTHER than Tom Cruise rescuing some poor feeble weak young woman who is crying her eyes out?! LOL. This is a welcome relief from all the weak girls we see so often in movies and on TV! I hope it turns out good.

I bet you Hollywood will make Wonder Woman’s character wear the skimpiest clothes ever, so she’ll be a combination of a street walker and a hero! Hahaha. Even when women are strong role models the directors and producers always find a way to pimp her out and sell her sexually. Until the actresses stop letting themselves get used that way, the arseholes that control Hollywood won’t stop objectifying them.

Glad to see a change but I hope they don’t mess it up. I’ve had enough of this all-girls-are-weak crap that we’ve seen in all of the Twilight movies. The weak Bella Swan getting rescued by the mighty Edward Cullen gets boring really fast.

@Nancy S.: I know, right?! In the 2nd movie, Bella went into a serious depression because of Edward! Just because they broke up and she missed him she turned into one of those crazy people that never leave their house and she looked pale and malnourished. Talk about being a sad, obsessed, pathetic loser! And this is the message that is being sent to all pre-teen and teen girls.

I’ve always imagined Wonder Woman to be a brown haired woman in her late 30s to early 40s. She definitely looks more like a woman than a girl, so any actress in her 20s would probably look too young for the part. But then again, Hollywood is known for being pretty sexist and extremely unfair to women. So they might just put a very young actress and have the evil enemy get played by an older woman. :(

megan fox would be my choice….

if this were a few years age i would say J-Lo or Charlize Theron

but they are to old

Jennifer Love Hewitt would be good also

@Gay Mike: wonder womans costume is very sexy and makes a statement the sexy woman that everyone lusts after yet the dynamic hero who can beat any evil guys ass the opinion that women r degraded when dressed sexy is ridiculous to me whats degrating about a human body?maybe the only bad thing about her is that shes too perfect but whatevs shes a cartoon

i would love to see sophia bush as wonder woman

I want someone that is close to Linda Carter. But there’s no one this day and age that comes close to her. A big NO to Megan Fox!! She can’t act and her injected lips will get on my nerves too dayem much that I will not watch the show.
And I do agree with one of the comment that Wonder Woman should be in her 30s… NO to 20s!!

If no one else, I would like Natalie Imbruglia…

They will probably cast one of the below rising young actresses as Wonder Woman:

Mischa Barton, Rachel Bilson, Sophia Bush, Miley Cyrus, Kat Dennings, Hilary Duff, Blake Lively, Leighton Meester, Taylor Momsen, Ellen Page, Emma Roberts, Jessica Szohr, Evan Rachel Wood

@Lance Costa: lol
You must be joking right? Everytime there is a post about upcoming cast you always put the same names out there under a different screen name . lol
Wth do you work for these girls people lol or something.
So let me tell you why none of those names will work….

Mischa Barton, Rachel Bilson are not rising young actresses they are former tv stars that have had their careers hit an all time low Mischa is too thin Rachel too short but too old .,
Sophia Bush, hasnt ever done much except One Tree Hill Miley Cyrus is generally not like my the male audience they will want to bring in to watch the shoe , Kat Dennings, Hilary Duff too short and hasnt worked in years , Blake Lively is on Gossip Girl so she couldnt and wouldnt another Tv show, Leighton Meester same goes from Leighton she couldnt and wouldnt when she has much better offers right now, Taylor Momsen too short too big mouthed and attention seeking for the role and would most likely get arrested during the right reason, Ellen Page is a in demand film actress she wont go to tv, Emma Roberts would probably get it only because of her aunties connections but she is too short and too small, Jessica Szohr stuck on Gossip girl as well, Evan Rachel Wood she might do it but tv would be a step back for her.
