CW's Wonder Woman Series AMAZON is Still in Development
In case you were wondering what's been going on with CW's Wonder Woman series Amazon, some of you will be happy to hear that it's actually still in development. The network is just taking their time with it, and it's currently in the process of being redeveloped.
While talking to reporters recently, CW President Mark Pedowitz emphasized that the series is still very much a part of the network's future plans. Here's what he said when asked about it:
Oh God yes. It is being redeveloped. We're waiting for the script to come in. We have not seen it yet. We are preparing to pilot it off-cycle should the script be what we want it to be. We do not want to produce something that doesn't work for that particular character. It is the trickiest of all the DC characters to get done.
The series was previously said to focus on Wonder Woman as a "young, budding superhero, rather than a fully formed defender of liberty. (Think Smallville, but instead of a 'no tights, no flights' rule, this show might have a 'no bracelets, no crown' mandate.)"
We also have a previously released description of the series that you can check out here.
She comes from a remote, secluded country and until now has spent most of her life as a soldier and a leader on the battlefield. Because of relentless brutality of her life at home, Iris looks at our world with absolute awe and astonishment. She’s delighted and just as often horrified by the aspects of everyday life that we take for granted: skyscrapers, traffic, ice cream. It’s all new and fascinating and sometimes slightly troubling to her. Iris is completely unschooled in our world, our culture, our customs. And she’s completely inexperienced at interpersonal relationships. She has no social filter, does not suffer fools, and tends to do and say exactly what’s on her mind at all times. She’s bluntly, refreshingly honest. She can tell when you’re lying to her. And she doesn’t have time or patience for politics or tact because she’s too busy trying to experience everything our world has to offer. There are too many sights to see and things to learn and people to care for. Hers is a true, noble, and generous heart. And she will fight and die for the people she loves. Iris is a fierce warrior with the innocent heart of a romantic and she will fight to the death to make the world safe for innocents and true romantics everywhere.
Since they're redeveloping the series I have no idea how much of this stuff will be included, but I imagine it will have the same tone. I guess we'll see. Hopefully the CW can pull it off!
