The storm will pass

“Never cut a tree down in the wintertime. Never make a negative decision in the low time. Never make your most important decisions when you are in your worst moods. Wait. Be patient. The storm will pass. The spring will come.”

Adrianne Palicki is not the new Wonder Woman

Filed under: Movies,Television — bblackmoor @ 22:31

Adrianne PalickiWell, it turns out that Adrianne Palicki will not, in fact, play Wonder Woman in a new TV reboot of the classic Linda Carter series.

David E. Kelley’s “Wonder Woman” television series has failed to find a network pickup at NBC, says a story at The Hollywood Reporter.

The series was planned as a reinvention of the iconic DC Comics title in which Wonder Woman (Adrianne Palicki) is both a vigilante crime fighter in Los Angeles, a successful corporate executive (as her alter ego, Diana Prince) and a modern woman trying to balance all of the elements of her extraordinary life.

The pilot was written by Kelley and directed by Jeffrey Reiner (“The Event”) and also featured Elizabeth Hurley, Pedro Pascal, Tracie Thoms and Cary Elwes in the cast.

With NBC declining to give the go-ahead, it is unlikely that the comic book adaptation will see the light of day as a series.

(from SuperHeroHype, NBC Passes on Wonder Woman)

Not much I can add to that. Sorry, Adrianne. Better luck with your next project.
