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, 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, 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!

The 29-year-old reality star - who's now engaged to season 16 "Bachelor" Ben Flajnik - frolicked on the beach in a bright yellow bikini, pausing several times to pose for the camera while at one point laying on a white beach towel to read a couple pages form he erotic novel "Fifty Shades of Grey".

Greeting cameras with an ear-to-ear smile, the 40-year-old actress (MILF) strutted into her interview in a pair of tiny black leather shorts that she paired with an olive tank top and matching high heels.

While boosting interest in "Madagascar 3: Europe's Most Wanted", Jada explained on the "Today" show how she get's into character to play a rather large wild animal, saying, "I really have to reach inside to my inner hippo to play Gloria, but it's so much fun."

Hinting that there might be yet another sequel in the works, Mrs. Smith added, "I mean I really love these Madagascar movies and I hope we can do a fourth one the third one is fantastic."

The film follows Alex, Marty, Gloria and Melman, who are still fighting to make their way back to New York City as their journey takes them through Europe - where they find the perfect cover: a traveling circus which they help reinvent.

'The Hobbit' to get world premiere in November

The Hobbit will receive its world premiere in New Zealand this November.

Peter Jackson returns to middle earth with the first of two movies, The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey, on December 14. It has now been announced that the world will get its first chance to see the movie at the Embassy Theatre in Wellington on November 28, two weeks before it hits theatres. Producers are trying to secure all of the main cast to attend.


Jackson said in a statement: "I know I speak for a company of hobbits, dwarves, elves and orcs when I say that this city holds a special place in all of our hearts. We cannot think of a more perfect way to send The Hobbit off into the world than to celebrate with a huge party here in Wellington, where the journey began".


Meanwhile, the latest of Jackson’s behind-the-scenes video blogs has just premiered over at The Hobbit Movie at Facebook. The director's seventh clip shows the project's work from Stone Street Studios, Miramar, Wellington in New Zealand and features footage of Orlando Bloom and James Nesbitt.

The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey stars Martin Freeman as Bilbo Baggins and features an ensemble cast including Sir Ian McKellen, Elijah Wood, Andy Serkis, Orlando Bloom, Evangeline Lilly, Bret McKenzie and Cate Blanchett. Watch the trailer above.

Prometheus

As Ridley Scott's new sci-fi epic lands in cinemas this week, June 1, academics at the University of Warwick have given their views on the film - and the Alien films to which it is a prequel.

Dr Jack Cohen, Honorary Professor of the University of Warwick, and one of the joint authors of Evolving the Alien: The Science of Extraterrestrial Life, says he is glad the film avoided the usual design of extraterrestrials as humanoids with ridged brows.

He commented: "The Alien universe, which Prometheus may also be part of, at least avoids the more preposterous fictional universes where most of the aliens look exactly like humans - but with slightly different types of bumpy foreheads. Aliens are likely to be much more alien."

But he added: "However the key aliens of the Alien universe still draw too much on human's own fear images and this obscures more reasoned speculation what real aliens may look like.

"The life cycle of this particular fictional race of aliens also builds on those human fear responses to produce movies that are brilliant at exploiting our fears for fun but which are also filled with scientific impossibilities. We still just can't resist making our movie aliens all too human."

Dr Nicolas Pillai, researcher at the University of Warwick's Film and Television Studies department, said: "While its trailers promise spectacular special effects, Prometheus follows a very traditional science-fiction narrative pattern. Archaeologists with conflicting agendas unearth a Pandora's Box - the curse of Tutankhamun by way of 2001: A Space Odyssey and Erich von Däniken."

Dr Pilai continued: "It also promises to excavate the past glories of director Ridley Scott. Initially conceived as a direct prequel to his 1979 film Alien, the project has mutated into something more interesting, riffing at the level of production design and tone rather than plot.

"Given this allusional approach to personal history, it seems important that Scott's protagonist is British - despite being played by Swedish actress Noomi Rapace."

And he spots a Doctor Who reference in the story: "Raised in Teesside, Scott was a young BBC designer in the early days of Doctor Who and narrowly missed the chance to design the Daleks. By calling Rapace's character Dr Elizabeth Shaw - also the name of a Doctor Who companion in 1970 - the screenwriters slyly reference a road not taken in Scott's past."

Dr Pilai concludes: "Prometheus' success may lie in its acceptance of diverse influences.

"While previous prequels have been restricted by an inevitable narrative end point, Scott's new film draws upon a wealth of transmedia artefacts - philosophical tracts, Egyptology, a 1967 Doctor Who serial called Tomb of the Cybermen.

Dark Knight Rises

The plot for ‘The Dark Knight Rises’ is currently being kept securely under lock and key. Judging by this weeks new theatrical trailer and the previous two films, I think it’s safe to say that we can expect something A W E S O M E!

‘The Dark Knight Rises’ stars Christian Bale as Bruce Wayne/Batman, Anne Hathaway as Selina Kyle/Catwoman, Tom Hardy as Bane, Gary Oldman as Commissioner Jim Gordon, Joseph Gordon-Levitt as John Blake, Michael Caine as Alfred, Morgan Freeman as Lucius Fox, and Marion Cotillard as Miranda Tate. Juno Temple, Josh Pence, Daniel Sunjata, Nestor Carbonell, Tom Conti, Joey King, Brett Cullen, Chris Ellis, Josh Stewart, Christopher Judge, Adam Rodriguez and Rob Brown co-star.

‘The Dark Knight Rises’ is scheduled for release July 20th. Christopher Nolan directs the film from a screenplay he wrote with Jonathan Nolan. The official synopsis for ‘The Dark Knight Rises is below. Expect to see official posters and character posters for the film soon.

Warner Bros. Pictures’ and Legendary Pictures’ “The Dark Knight Rises” is the epic conclusion to filmmaker Christopher Nolan’s Batman trilogy. Leading an all-star international cast, Oscar® winner Christian Bale (“The Fighter”) again plays the dual role of Bruce Wayne/Batman. The film also stars Anne Hathaway, as Selina Kyle; Tom Hardy, as Bane; Oscar® winner Marion Cotillard (“La Vie en Rose”), as Miranda Tate; and Joseph Gordon-Levitt, as John Blake. Returning to the main cast, Oscar® winner Michael Caine (“The Cider House Rules”) plays Alfred; Gary Oldman is Commissioner Gordon; and Oscar® winner Morgan Freeman (“Million Dollar Baby”) reprises the role of Lucius Fox.

The screenplay is written by Christopher Nolan and Jonathan Nolan, story by Christopher Nolan & David S. Goyer. The film is produced by Emma Thomas, Christopher Nolan and Charles Roven, who previously teamed on “Batman Begins” and the record-breaking blockbuster “The Dark Knight.” The executive producers are Benjamin Melniker, Michael E. Uslan, Kevin De La Noy and Thomas Tull, with Jordan Goldberg serving as co-producer. The film is based upon characters appearing in comic books published by DC Comics. Batman was created by Bob Kane.

Behind the scenes, “The Dark Knight Rises” reunites the director with several of his longtime collaborators, all of whom worked together on the “The Dark Knight.” The creative team includes director of photography Wally Pfister, who recently won an Oscar® for his work on Nolan’s “Inception”; production designer Nathan Crowley; editor Lee Smith; and Oscar®-winning costume designer Lindy Hemming (“Topsy-Turvy”). In addition, Paul Franklin and Chris Corbould, who both won Oscars® for the effects in “Inception,” supervised the visual and special effects, respectively. The music is composed by Oscar® winner Hans Zimmer (“The Lion King”).

In helming the film, Christopher Nolan is utilizing IMAX® cameras even more extensively than he did on “The Dark Knight,” which had marked the first time ever that a major feature film was partially shot with IMAX cameras. The locations span three continents and include the American cities of Pittsburgh, New York and Los Angeles, as well as sites in India, England and Scotland.

“The Dark Knight Rises” is a presentation of Warner Bros. Pictures, in association with Legendary Pictures. Slated for release beginning July 20, 2012, the film will be distributed worldwide by Warner Bros. Pictures, a Warner Bros. Entertainment Company.
