There’s been a lot of talk about Wonder Woman ever since Gal Gadot scored her three picture hat trick deal to play the world’s most important super heroine.It’s about damned time too since there have been a number of near misses. Like that time Aussie model Megan Gale got cast to play the part in a Justice League flick that never got made. As soon as the ink was dry on the contract Gale got the rug pulled out from under her. Something about a tax beef between Justice League producers and New Zealand, or Australia – where ever they were planning on filming the now long defunct project. That’s a shame cause Gale would’ve looked stunning in the Wonder gear.
Then there was that TV pilot by David Kelley. He’s best known for producing Allie MacBeal, and marrying Michelle Catwoman Pfeiffer! So he’s not without influence, or experience with super heroines – though Catwoman is really more of a rogue. Adrianne Palicki was even cast to play the lead role. Adrianne is an attractive and extremely healthy young woman who looks so convincing in some of those actions scenes that she was only a saddle away from heat in the Kentucky Derby! Even though the pilot got completed for some unknown reason the series never got to air. The pilot has seen the light of day though, buy getting distributed around the web. You just can’t keep Wonder Woman under wraps it seems! For those of you who are still curious about how that went, here’s that unaired pilot for you! Enjoy!
When it was announced that the Superman vs Batman movie had got delayed for a year it looked like the Curse of Wonder Woman had struck again. If you recall there hadn’t been a successful version since Lynda Carter competed against Bill Bixby in Battle of the Network Stars. Adrianne Palicki was cast in a Wonder Woman pilot by David E Kelly. He was the creator of Allie McBeal, so without him Harrison Ford wouldn’t have a wife now, or at least he might have a different wife. So the Allie McBeal deal worked out well for Calista Flockhart! Kelly’s Wonder Woman with issues didn’t work out too well and didn’t get picked up. The pilot did make the rounds of the black market, plus the peer to peer sites. It wasn’t as bad as everyone said and might have even gotten better over time, like Three’s Company back in the 70’s. That is unless I mean Dallas. Kelly hasn’t been able to do anything for George Clooney either who still remains single and the but of Tiny Fey’s Jewish mom type “George settle down already” jokes. So George, if you’re reading, Palicki might be an interesting, Clooney dating Wonder Woman match up for you, for awhile.
After that the next near miss involved Peter Jackson’s big Justice League extravaganza. He was set to start filming down in Australia or New Zealand. He even had Ozzie suipermodel Megan Gale signed on as Wonder Woman,as well as Common as Green Lantern. Everyone liked the look of Gale and were excited to see the finished product. Then negotiations with the NZ, or Australian, government fell through. Jackson didn’t get the tax waivers he wanted so he scrapped the project. Big Meggers had already stepped down from her regular paycheck with Ozzie designer David Jones. So that was bad news. She eventually recouped, dumped boyfriend Andy Lee, took up with footy stud Shawn Hampson (looks like Steve Trevor), and then got herself knocked up. Last word on Gale, from a few days back, had her 5 months expecting and in a fairly serious car accident.She had to go to the emergency ward but was otherwise fine.
That brought us up to the very latest Wonder Woman Gal Gadot. She’s a former Miss Israel and former fitness trainer with the Israeli Army. Apart from that she’s best known as Gisele Habaro in theFast & Furious films. When it was announced that she had got the coveted Wonder Woman role people once again liked the look of her, and were excited. That is apart from some fanboy concerns about the size of her breasts. Mandy Caruso can tell you how fanboys are on the ticklish breast issue. When the delay was announced some thought “here we go again”. It looked like there would be an indefinite delay ending with either the flick getting scrapped, or the Wonder Woman role getting written out. It’s as if some one out there didn’t want anything involving Wonder Woman getting made.
Anti Wonder Woman witchcraft aside, it looks like Gal Gadot is good to go. It’s recently been announced that not only is Wonder Woman’s appearance in Affleck vs Cavil a lead pipe cinch, with a $300 000 pay check, but she signed for a 3 picture hat trick deal! She’s not only doing Wonder Woman in Affleck vs Cavil, but she’s gonna be transporting the Amazon Princess in a Justice League flick, and then in her very own Wonder Woman film! So the studio has made a big commitment to this. So Gadot & Wonder WOman fans alike can relax! Now here’s the word from IGN.
