Wonder Woman live action tv show: How would you do it?

[The Major]

How would you make your own live action tv show:

What actors would you hire?

What directors would you get?

What special effects houses would you want?

What would the story lines be like?

What writers would you prefer?

What characters would you have appearing in it?

Do you think a WW show could be successful?

 

[Derrick9592]

For a new WW TV series, I would consider it to be as a remake of the 70's tv series with some special effects such as Entity FX, as use on Smallville like as WW using her powers, like flight, super strength, etc. Also the cast I would like to see on a new WW TV series would be;

If they go with a young WW, then I would choose Taylor Cole

If they go with a older WW, then it would be Karen Cliche (from Flash Gordon)

 

[az824]

why would they go with an older wonder woman? she's an immortal, therefore they have to go the young route

 

[SufferingSappho]

If it was up to me I'd make a Wonder Woman animated series first and then do the film, but if the film is not successful then I'd do a new live action tv series.

 

[The Major]

SS:

They could have a live action film and tv show at the same time.

I do like your idea that they do a cartoon first. The people who made JLU would be perfect for it.

Yes they could have a live action film and tv series at the same time. But what happened to Superman comes to mind. You have two actors playing the same character at the same time (Brandon Routh and Tom Welling), one on tv and one on film. Then you have big fans of the tv version bashing the film version and a lot of the film fans bashing the tv version, etcetera. I'd hate for that to happen to Wonder Woman.

It would be great for her to finally get her own cartoon series. It is very cool that she'll be getting her first direct-to-video animated movies next year. And if that does well enough maybe we'll get a series.

That's true.

Forgot about that side effect.

Honestly, I'll believe it when I see it.

I'd love for WW to get some great animated movies, though. It would be a good start. I just hope it can be used to get WW into the media spotlight more.

Do you have any links? All I've heard about the animated movies is from this board with no details.

 

[JokerLedger]

What actors would you hire?
Katharine McPhee

What directors would you get?
Random television show director

What special effects houses would you want?
Whatever the budget allows

What would the story lines be like?
Kicking ass

What writers would you prefer?
Whedon

What characters would you have appearing in it?
Silver Swan?

Do you think a WW show could be successful?
HELL-NO

 

[Derrick9592]

Sorry, I was thinking of Knight Rider (new version) and TSCC of how their story lines were set and I thought like if WW became more experienced over the years entering Man's world so that's why I made a suggestion on using Karen Cliche as if they go with an older WW. I rather go with the young route and I agree.

So far, this is all the info I've get:

Keri Russell is providing the voice for Wonder Woman and Nathan Fillion will provide the voice of Steve Trevor.
http://www.worldsfinestonline.com/news.php?action=fullnews&id=49

Lauren Montgomery will be directing the animated feature.
http://www.worldsfinestonline.com/news.php?action=fullnews&id=104

This is how the plot is described:

"On the mystical island of Themyscria, a proud and fierce warrior race of Amazons have raised a daughter of untold beauty, grace and strength – Princess Diana. When and army fighter pilot, Steve Trevor crash-lands on the island, the rebellious and headstrong Diana defies Amazonian law by accompanying Trevor back to civilization. Meanwhile, Ares (the god of War) has escaped his imprisonment at the hands of the Amazonians and has decided to exact his revenge using the mystical “Hand of Rage,” an ancient artifact with the power to raise armies from the dead and infuse them with a thirst for blood. Ares intends to start a world war that will not only last for centuries – but will wipe out every lving being on the planet, starting with the Amazons! It is up to Princess Diana to save her people and the world – by using her gifts and becoming the ultimate Wonder Woman!"

A preview will be included on the Batman: Gotham Knight DVD, which is being released on July 8th. I think the release date for Wonder Woman is later this year or early 2009.

Yeah, it's my fantasy WW tv show.

They should do JLU spin offs for Wonder Woman, Flash, and the Green Lantern Corps. Imagine an animated, season long arc of the Sinestro Corps. War

 

[WonderWoman01]

Thanks SS.

You're welcome Major.

I hope they do a good job with it. It's great that they're doing a solo Wonder Woman project. And it's about bloody time!

 

[majorstar]

I'd like to see Linda Carter have a role in any Wonder Woman project, I think she would be good as Queen Hyp' (Diana's mother)

The show itself, maybe a CGI one?, if not live action, actresses and actor's for the roles and such, SFX the folks that done the Terminator movies, director, someone that actually knows who WW/Diana is, not just someone handed a project.
The same goes for the people that may act in it.
