‘Wonder Woman’ short teases the potential for a TV/movie adaptation

Is it time to bring Wonder Woman back to the screen? After watching this gritty, action-packed take on the DC Comics superheroine, I’d say so. This (too) short film made by director Jesse V. Jackson and starring Nina Bergman teases the potential of a Wonder Woman comeback, either to the big screen or the one in your living room. Jackson is merely a fan of the famed comic book hero with an urge to make Diana Prince relevant again in this age of male-dominated superheros (read: Batman and The Avengers). The guy’s got a compelling argument here if you ask me. I 2011, David E. Kelly attempted to revive Wonder Woman with a TV series developed for NBC starring Adrianne Palicki; it ended up not working out. Most recently The CW wanted to bring Diana back in an origin story series titled Amazon but its development was pushed to the 2014-15 TV season. Hopefully Jackon’s short here will prove to fans and TV/movie execs alike that the time is now bring back the strong and sexiest member of the Justice League back into the spotlight.
