With the pilots selected and still a lot of behind the scenes movements going on as secondary buyers are sought, midseason replacements being wrangled and so forth, more material is coming out of the Wonder Woman pilot that will likely find its way onto the internet at some point. While there’s been a lot of controversy over the outfit, one thing we heard awhile back was that there were going to be three incarnations of it. What we hadn’t seen, until now, was the short-shorts version of it that goes back to the Lynda Carter days. That’s now made its way out as we see a shot of Adrianne Palicki posing in it against a green screen.
In addition to this, The Hollywood Reporter caught up with Warner Bros. TV CEO Peter Roth and asked him about his thoughts on what happened with the pilot and why it didn’t get picked up:
THR: You had the most talked about pilot of the season in Wonder Woman. How does it feel not seeing it on NBC’s schedule?
Roth: I think Wonder Woman was a very well crafted pilot. But after seeing the announcement of the NBC schedule, I now understand and agree with [NBC Entertainment Chairman] Bob [Greenblatt] that it doesn’t necessarily fit particularly well with their schedule. As well crafted and contemporized as it was, it was a big and radical shift for viewers to embrace this new idea — and that may, to some degree, have had to do with why it didn’t make it.
THR: Is there a chance that we’ll see it on another network in another form?
Roth: To be determined. I’m just not sure yet; we haven’t given it a lot of thought
