Lynda Carter Spoke With David E. Kelley About Appearing In The New Wonder Woman Pilot
March 19th, 2011 Craig Byrne
We had already known that 1970s Wonder Woman Lynda Carter had spoken with producer/writer David E. Kelley about the new Wonder Woman TV project, but what hadn’t come out before is that they had talked about doing something for the pilot, which is now filming.

“I talked to David [E. Kelley] about doing something in the pilot but with my new CD, Crazy Little Things coming out in April and touring for the album, we couldn’t coordinate our schedules,” Carter said in an interview at THR, “but you never know what will happen in the future. Stay tuned!”

Guess that means we won’t be seeing Queen Hippolyta in the pilot? *wink, wink*

Speaking of inviting scrutiny: Wonder Woman. Why did you decide to take this on?
Well I first said no, for all the obvious reasons. It’s not really what I do; it’s not a genre that’s in my wheelhouse. But then I started thinking about, What if there were such a person in today’s world and what must it be like to be her? And I was imagining the sense of social isolation that she must feel, that she indeed would probably be a rather complicated beast. When I started thinking about all the complications and potential layers to this superhero, I just got more and more intrigued. It was also something I was a little bit afraid of. That’s good, too. Any writer should get out of his or her comfort zone, and this was way outside of mine.

So I took a deep breath and decided to go for it. I did not truthfully commit to doing it until I wrote the script. I was going to try writing it, and if I failed on my own terms, I would say no. If I thought, Yeah, this is something I believe in, then I’d turn it in. And it was something I ultimately did get behind. It was hard, but I had a good time writing it. And Warner Bros. and DC both responded very positively — and off we went.

Then you had to find your Wonder Woman.
It was not an easy search, but it went far quicker than I ever imagined. After writing this script, I remember looking at several people and going, "Yeah, now good luck trying to find her." She’s got to be strong, smart, emotionally accessible — and oh yeah, an Amazon! Good luck. I remember speaking to DC, and saying, "We may have to compromise on the physicality. We need to go with the best actress. And if the best actress is five-foot-five, we have to be open to that, because there’s too many layers for this character to also demand that she be nearly six feet tall." And then lo and behold, in comes this girl named Adrianne Palicki.

I had seen her on Friday Night Lights and I always liked her work, but I didn’t get a sense of her stature. I guess he was sitting down in a lot of the scenes. So she stood up, and we met — eyeball to eyeball — she smiled ... and I knew during the course of the conversation that this was Wonder Woman. I just knew it. I had an instinctive feeling that this was her. So then she read. And she was. And she is.

Whether these are real fans or just apologists, the consensus seems to be that her appearance as Wonder Woman sucks! This is not a good sign. I predict that this series will meet the same fate as the short-lived new Bionic Woman. It may not even make it to series. And to think that at one time we thought we were gonna get a 'tentpole film franchise' to go along with Superman & Batman! And now this?!

"There's a nice nip-slip in the 4th picture. It's a shame she's wearing those pasties.

On a side note: isn't Wonder Woman supposed to be the most beautiful woman on the planet? Maybe I'm just critical...but this chick has horse teeth and no top lip.

Prediction: this show is gonna suck harder than Smallville."

On-set photos from the NBC pilot reveal Adrianne Palicki’s new look.

NBC came under fire when it released the first photo of Adrianne Palicki as Wonder Woman earlier this month.

As THR.com Heat Vision blogger Borys Kit pointed out, fanboys said she looked "too trashy, too bad-porn-y," Fox said her look wasn't patriotic enough and even Lynda Carter, who played her in the '70s TV series, weighed in. PHOTOS: The next generation of superheroes.

Palicki's blue vinyl pants and blue boots were said to resemble footed pajamas, according to online commenters, and her patent-vinyl outfit "looks cheap" and "probably squeaks every time she moves" wrote blogs.

Now, photos have been surfacing from the set of of David E. Kelly's pilot showing Palicki in what appear to be cotton or spandex pants instead of vinyl and bright red contrasting boots. PHOTOS: A makeup line inspired by Wonder Woman.

A DC Comics spokesperson spoke out in support of the look earlier this month: "The latest evolution of Wonder Woman’s iconic costume is a central part of the latest comic book storyline. All of the classic symbols – patriotic (stars, eagle) and heroic (lasso, bracelets) – are ever-present."
