Last week it was reported that all the major networks had passed on David E. Kelley's draft for the Wonder Woman reboot. Kelley spoke to The Hollywood Reporter and said that he still thinks his vision for Wonder Woman will air in the future.
"I think the likelihood is we'll see it next year," he told The Hollywood Reporter. "I'm being optimistic but I don't think I'm being unrealistic."
Kelley noted that the script was "rolled out very late in the game" and said that he would bring the project back to NBC, which reportedly passed. The project reportedly failed to move forward there due to executive reshuffling.
He said that the network... would be a "good home for it" under incoming programming chief Robert Greenblatt.
"I like to think of it as a smart script and I know he responds to smart material," Kelley said Thursday of his vision in which Wonder Woman would be explored as a "real complex woman and not just a superhero."
Why not option the show for cable like on HBO or STARZ? NBC has not been doing well as far as quality programming, so if they were to get this show, I'm sure they would drop the ball once again like they did on Heroes and even The Cape, which in my opinion better get better soon. I also like The Event, but the idiots over at NBC thought it was a brilliant idea to take a serialized drama that needs to play all the way through with no repeats like 24 and Lost and shelve it for a few months so they can promote The Cape. WW needs room to grow and find an audience, and the major networks are all about advertising. If a show doesn't bring in 24 million viewers within the first week they're ready to cancel.
