the fan website launched to give YOU, all the latest and greatest about the “Smallville” spin off, the highly touted, “Aquaman” pilot, tells us that the pilot NOW, has SORT of an UNOFFICIAL TITLE!
“Mercy Reef” is the working, tentative name that the CW Television Network is heralding for the pilot set to launch the TV series, which hopes to hit the TV airwaves this Fall 2006, about twenty something, Arthur Curry, better known to you as the water loving Super Hero, and native Prince from Atlantis, “Aquaman”!
Aquamantv.com also tells us that esteemed actor, Lou Diamond Phillips, has been cast in the role of Arthur’s adoptive, land loving father, Tom Curry.
Great news too! The first day of production, which is taking place, on location in Miami/Dade, Florida also has been completed!
It shouldn’t be long before the pilot is in the can and ready to take us fans along for an AMAZING swim with our seven sea bound “Aquaman”!
“Wonder Woman” is also moving along nicely in her big screen debut!
SciFi.com’s online news page, Sci Fi Wire, reports that Joss Whedon is tweaking the finishing touches on his script for the eagerly anticipated major motion picture adaptation of “Wonder Woman”!
Whedon tells Sci Fi Wire that he most likely will turn in the completed script to Warner Brothers Motion Pictures this week.
Speaking at the Los Angeles premiere of the science fiction comedy, “Slither”, starring “Serenity”, “Firefly”, “Buffy The Vampire Slayer” actor, cult fan favorite, and one of Joss’s favorite regular cast choices for his projects, actor, Nathan Fillion,….
…..Joss said, “I’m probably going to turn it in, in a few days”.
Joss says he will remain faithful to “Wonder Woman’s” cool, Super Hero gadgets, telling Sci Fi Wire that, “There will be all of the expected stuff. Of course, there will be the bracelets; there will be the invisible jet, the lasso, all of that.”
“Buffy” fans, who came to adore the kick butt, Girl Power of the vampire slaying teen, for her intelligent, quick thinking, courage and maturity, will be pleased too, in that Joss also tells Sci Fi Wire that, “It’s (“Wonder Woman”), about girls maturing, a rite of passage, that kind of thing.”
We hear that Joss and Warner Brothers are planning on starting production on the film sometime, later this year, though they haven’t done any casting yet, including what actress will play the title/lead role.
……But we certainly INVITE, YOUR comments as to who YOU think should portray and don the red, white, and blue bustier of one of the world’s greatest Female Super Heroes/Crime Fighters!
And that’s today’s news from Super Hero Hollywood Central!
