See what happens? The moment I decide to go grocery shopping, breaking news develops! When I got back, there was an email from my ex-boyfriend with a link to the new Wonder Woman costume.
In February we learned that Adrianne Palicki was going to be starring as the title character to the show, and just this morning I showed you pictures of Elizabeth Hurley as Veronica Cale on the set of Wonder Woman. As you can see there have been a few changes to the costume, the shiny new tights, the blue boots (instead of the red), the extended bracelets and the full blooded lipstick.
Red alert! Or should we say blue? EW has obtained an exclusive first look of Adrianne Palicki as Wonder Woman — aka Diana Prince — from NBC’s reboot of the classic 1970s series. What’s different from what we’ve seen before? Well, how about those shiny blue pants? And blue boots instead of red ones? Compared to Lynda Carter’s get-up, this body-hugging extravaganza de-emphasizes the patriotism and seems to play up the comic’s Greek mythology. And a special shout-out to those bracelets! Wonder Woman is being remade by Boston Legal writer David E. Kelley, who has incorporated the superhero’s signature lasso, cuffs, and plane in the pilot. NBC promises the project, if picked up to series, will offer a serious, non-campy take on the DC Comics character. Along with Palicki, Elizabeth Hurley (Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me) and Cary Elwes (Saw, The Princess Bride) have joined the cast. Hurley’s character runs a pharmaceutical company that is creating a drug that makes people stronger while Elwes plays the CEO of Diana’s company, Themyscira Industries.
Honestly? I don't know what to say. I like it, but then again, I don't. There is definitely no comparison when it comes to Lynda Carter's iconic costume, but I'm willing to give it a chance. If it was any other writer besides the award-winning, David E. Kelley, I would probably fold after the first episode.
I'm still in shock really, this is too much news to take in one week. With my queen killed off by her daughter on Tuesday, and Glee's Kurt & Blaine kissing on Fox, who knows how my weekend is going to end.
Elizabeth Hurley has been seen playing Veronica Cale in the new series due out in the fall, Wonder Woman. And I already like it. Hurley is absolutely stunning as she always has been. Her character is a “beautiful, highly educated head of one of the biggest pharmaceutical companies in the country who is afflicted with serious deep-seated Wonder Woman envy.”
'Hurley tweeted from set: “First scene in the can. Phew. … Er…..’in the can’ means ‘successfully completed’…..u knew that”
Plenty more photos of Hurley on the set of Wonder Woman here.
We already know Adrianne Palicki has some big shoes to fill, but can Elizabeth Hurley pull "the evil villian?" David E. Kelley and Warner Bros. seem to think so. She will be playing Veronica Cale, a founding partner in Cale-Anderson Pharmaceuticals.
My question is... why is it that every time a villian is cast as the arch-nemesis of the superhero, they are thrown into a gay or bi character? They don't come out and say it, but the hints are thrown at you. According to the NBC casting description, the villian is:
"female, open ethnicity, late 30s to early 40s. Beautiful, highly-educated, highly accomplished, she runs one of the biggest pharmaceutical companies in the country…but she's afflicted with the serious deep-seated Wonder Woman envy. Whatever she is, or will be in life…she'll never be her. And it causes her innards to rot. She loves men, but likes women. There might be an unstated chemistry between her and Wonder Woman, at least on her side."
So pretty much what they're trying to say is that we're going to see some lesbian flirting and possibly even a small lesbian kiss. This goes for both sides of the spectrum, gay or bi, why even insinuate it. Just leave the gays out and make straights evil for once. Hell, Wonder Woman is going to have three identities as it is, and she's straight in each of them. E online asked it best, Are you excited about the return of Wonder Woman to television? Or are you bracing yourself for another clunky NBC genre drama in the vein of Bionic Woman, Knight Rider, Heroes and The Cape?
