VIDEO: Watch 3 Leaked 'Wonder Woman' Scenes from Failed Pilot
by Andy NeuenschwanderWhen a network passes on a pilot, we're often left wondering what it was like and why the network passed. But when a pilot has as much buzz as the "Wonder Woman" one did, there's a good chance it's not going to go away entirely.
Three leaked scenes from the failed pilot have found their way online, coincidentally just in time for Comic Con. The first clip features an opening chase scene followed by an action scene later in the pilot, and even though they seem to be missing a few of the finer post-production touches (I would assume that WW's lasso would look a little better in the finished product), the action isn't terrible. The chase is a bit cheesy, but the fight is pretty hard-hitting.
It seems that the real weakness of the pilot was in the non-action scenes.
The second clip shows WW visiting a friend in the hospital and it's drippingly sentimental with an extra dose of cliché.
The third clip features a board room scene where WW (as alter ego Diana Prince) is arguing with execs of her Themyscira Industries. Apparently she's profiting off of her Wonder Woman image with merchandise, but is unhappy with the oversexed Barbie doll that one of the male (natch) execs came up with. The idea behind the speech is a good one, even if the whole thing is a little forced.
