Adrianne Palicki, the American actress best known for her role on 'Friday Night Lights', is the new 'Wonder Woman', according to the Hollywood Reporter.Palicki will play the superhero in DAVID E. KELLEY's forthcoming pilot episode for NBC. The story will follow Wonder Woman, aka Diana Prince, as she attempts to balance her hectic life as a vigilante crime fighter, with her successful job as a cooperate executive. Palicki, who played 'Tyra Collete' in the acclaimed television series 'Friday Night Lights', is also set to appear in the forthcoming 'Red Dawn' remake. The 'Wonder Woman' pilot has been written by Kelley himself, and BILL D'ELIA will serve as executive producer. Warner Bros and producer Joel Silver attempted to make a big-screen adaptation of 'Wonder Woman' around ten years ago, with Angelina Jolie tipped to take the lead, however, the project never materialised.

Ugh, you people really need to read between the liens more and actully read. That wasn; the final costume, that was a horrible cosplay suit that a model was wearing. Honestly If you don;t think she has any good chops for being a superhero then you never ave seen smallville's season 3 finle "convert" she was good as "Kara". She actully shown she could be a superhero even if she was crazy,But She was good. Watch Supernatural pilot she was in it agian she was terrific. so in other words DON'T BE SO QUICK TO JUDGE hell LYNDA CARTER GIVES HER SUPPORT TO THE NEW GIRL! witch means you'll eithe rbe eating your own words (and look liek idoits) or you'll be right. Until a teaser of the new wonder woman comes out and if th costume at least bears soem homage and she still stands for whats right in the world, then i think she'll be good. then agian this coul end up like "The Amzing Spider-Man" successful but CRAP! we all just have to wait and see.

While she is a good actress and has the height and athletic ability...in the DC world, Wonder Woman is pretty flawless. The mole Adrianne has and the unfortunate, ubiquitous tramp stamp of todays 18 to 30 year old woman just doesn't work for Wonder Woman.

It's been about a dozen years since "American Beauty". Has anyone thought of offering the role of Wonder Woman to a grown-up Thora Birch??

I grew up with Wonder Woman and remember wanting to be her - I can't imagine little girls out there wanting to be this person now. I knew that the weenies out there would screw this up!!! They need to get rid of those ridiculous boots and make her into a superhero, not a superslut.
