Well- for those of you dreaming that the voluptuous Christina Hendricks would be coming to the small screen in the upcoming
Wonder Woman TV series, sad to say but the dream is over. Adrianne Palicki was announced as the titular (tee-hee) character last week and
the revamped Wonder Woman costume was also revealed in a publicity photo released earlier this month. I'll let you compare and contrast if you're so inclined.
As Jammie Wearing Fool had pointed out, the newer version of the Wonder Woman costume is supposedly controversial because it lacks the stars and stripes motif of the classic version- however, I wouldn't be surprised if that was some sort of contrived 'controversy' to try and gin up publicity for the TV Series. Here are some 'before' pictures of Ms Palicki to give you an idea of what she looked like before playing the Amazon brunette.
Adrianne Palicki had previously appeared in the
Friday Night Lights TV series and the 2010 film
Legion.
Palicki also logged some time as a voice actress on Adult Swim's
Titan Maximum and
Robot Chicken.
While there's no Christina Hendricks, British actress and model Liz Hurley (who's well into her 40s and still looking good) is slated to appear as Wonder Woman's nemesis in the pilot episode.
And without the role of Wonder Woman to fall back on, how exactly is Christina Hendricks getting by? Well, when she isn't drawing attention as 60's secretary Joan Halloway,
Hendricks is now the face of Vivienne Westwood's collection of Palladium jewelry. No doubt the
market price of Palladium shot up when word of that got out.
