Yes, TV Amazon’s Name Is “Diana”
Wonder Woman TV Update: The CW & Warner Bros. Casting An Amazon – Meet “Iris?”
Deadline tonight had what could be a big scoop – a casting breakdown for the WB/CW Wonder Woman TV project, Amazon. Casting directors are looking for tall actresses (5’8″ or higher). But that’s not the weird part. The breakdown calls for a character named “Iris.” We are hoping this is code for “Diana Prince,” and that the studio and the network just put in “Iris” as a placeholder.
Otherwise, a Wonder Woman named Iris sounds about as interesting as a Catwoman named “Patience Phillips.”
Podcast Review Of The Actual Wonder Woman Pilot
Talk about being in the right place at the right time.
Scott Carelli happened to be at Universal Studios when he was brought in to screen a TV show pilot that’s in contention for Fall 2011 airing. At first, he thought it was something like House, before realizing that it was the Wonder Woman plilot.
Turns out Scott is also involved with Geekshow Entertainment, and he just recorded a podcast where he talks about what he thought of the pilot. You can listen to the show here.
What did he think?
