NBC picks up David E. Kelly's Wonder Woman pilot.

According to Nellie Andreeva over at Deadline Hollywood, NBC has indeed picked up David E. Kelly's Wonder Woman reboot for next season. The project was announced late last year, and then was initially passed on by the major networks for reasons ranging from cost to brand loyalty (IE - ABC is owned by Disney who now owns Marvel Comics). NBC was apparently interested from the beginning (what else do they have going for them?), but was reluctant to commit due to the regime transition. New NBC entertainment president Bob Greenblatt decided to make the pick up after officially taking over his new position. This is good news for fans of David E. Kelly, fans of Wonder Woman, and parents of Allison Mendelson, who now stand a much better chance of finding Wonder Woman-related party favors for said child's fourth birthday at summer's end. Alison Elizabeth Mendelson's parents are still less-than-optimistic about procuring the oft-requested 'magic lasso' and/or 'invisible jet'. For my personal thoughts on the project, read my initial reactions from last October. And once again I ask you loyal readers, who do you think should play Wonder Woman this time around?
