Remember in Pulp Fiction how Mia Wallace talked about being in a TV pilot that no one ever saw? Fox Force Five? Fearing another Bionic Woman disaster, NBC has pulled the plug on David E. Kellye's new Wonder Woman pilot. Wonder Woman starred Adrianne Palicki from Friday Night Lights and had generated a lot of online carping about the costume, so much so that NBC even changed it -- but evidently to no avail. This Diana Prince was depicted as a corporate CEO by day,crime-fighting Amazon Wonder Woman by night. The pilot must have really failed to connect at test screenings for NBC to go DNR here, especially in a marketplace that's more superhero friendly than ever. Kelley can always try to shop it someplace else (Syfy channel?), but after this public a shutdown, odds of any takers are slim. What this means for any continuing plans to develop a Wonder Woman movie is anyone's guess. For now, time to hang up that lasso of truth.
