Remember last year when the CW was working on that Wonder Woman prequel? As you may recall, the concept was dropped after execs opted not to pick the project up for a pilot and it was thought to be done with. Well, apparently that isn’t the case, as Amazon is still actively being worked on according to CW’s Mark Pedowitz. While at the network’s upfront today, Pedowitz told reporters that despite the series not being being up for the fall run, Amazon is still very much being worked on.

“Oh God yes,” Pedowitz replied, when asked whether the project was still alive. “It’s being redeveloped. We don’t want to produce something” that doesn’t do the franchise justice. “It’s the trickiest of all the DC characters,” he added

It was rather unorthodox to see a series move into casting before it is picked up for a pilot, but a show like this relies heavily on the actress that is selected for the role and whomever is chosen will play a big part in how the character of Iris, which is how she is thought to be named for the series, is written. Amazon will take on the early years of Wonder Woman, with a teenager who was raised as a warrior in a far-off land placed in a modern world.

In regards to the version that was not picked up, Pedowitz said “the basics” were there, but the execution was lacking. You have to give them credit for not just running with the first idea they had. Fans of the new series Arrow can attest to that, as that series has been quite impressive so far. The last time the Wonder Woman character was attempted on the small screen, David E. Kelly was behind it, with GI Joe: Retaliation star Adrianne Palicki playing the lead role. That pilot was so bad, NBC quickly opted to pass on the project. Hopefully this one will work out and Warner Brothers can see the potential the character has for a feature film.

Hey All, we are back with another prognosis on one of the biggest horror fantasy adventure drama around, SUPERNATURAL. And yet another detour as Sam and Dean reunite with an another old  acquaintance and find that person has taken on the life of a hunter along with a couple of young and like aged cohorts under the supervision of one caretaker.

The Prognosis begins NOW!!

SUPERNATURAL Season 8, episode 18,  ”Freaks and Geeks” Promo

The scene begins where two teens are parked out on a roadside making in the car, when a mysterious figure appears about the vehicle. The boy grabs a knife and heads out after the figure, while the girl stays in the vehicle… The mystery then attacks the girl, dragging her out the window when the boy comes around and lobs the figures head off, revealing itself a vampire. Another girl appears on the scene, and it appears the first girl is Krissy Chambers, an old acquaintance of the Winchesters, a little bit older now. Krissy gives the order that Josephine will play the bait next time around.

Next scene is with Sam and Dean in FBI incognito making a run into the local town’s police station to probe investigation on a mysterious bloodletting murder of two women. The officer in charge shows a security camera clip of that night’s decapitation incident. Dean recognizes the first girl on the scene as Krissy and grows concerned. He promptly usurps the case for their “FBI” department, confiscates the security tapes, and wonders with Sam what the father may know/not know what Krissy has been up to.

First run-in reunite with Krissy.

They intercept Krissy at a motel room where she is stationed at while the two other unknown partners are again gearing up to take on another vampire in the neighboring room. Sam and Dean burst in the other room to intervene when the creature uses the distraction to escape out the window and heads toward a van. Krissy beats Dean to the van and heads off on the vampire, incapacitating it with corpse’s blood. Josephine recognizes the vampire as her family’s killer and, despite the vampire’s plea of innocence, she lobs its head off. Krissy then explains that her father had been killed by the vampire later on not long after the Winchesters saw them, just like what happened with the parents and siblings of her partners/friends Josephine and Adian. Dean is looking to take Krissy back to a aunt of hers as he insists this is not the path she should be taking, but Krissy notes her new caretaker Victor would not allow it.

Josephine’s revenge

Curious about Victor, Sam and Dean visit the man’s well done out home, get acquainted with him and discuss and question the aspects of using these teens to engage in vampire hunting. Victor promptly preaches that these kids are doing really well in school, stay disciplined, and are trained to be better than any other older hunters out there, making comparisons to how off the last generation have become, with Dean becoming apprehensive when Victor questions Bobby’s ability. The discussion subsides as Dean decides to question the captive victim from the last attack, while the mysterious van pulls up around the area again.

As the kids are readying for school and heading out, Sam continues talking with Victor and learns his drive for hunting was brought on by his own tragedy when camping with his family and they were attacked and killed by a Wendigo, and that he tries to provide a less nomadic life than they both had. Dean meantime, visits the victim and realizes from her testimony that she was not hurt by the vampire at the hotel and seemed confused about the whole issue with her presence being a concern as she had just been back from a trip out of country the month before.

The situation on their hunts…

Dean later from the hotel clerk and surveillance photos of another woman taken captive by a vampire, bound up, confused, and starting to turn vampire. Albeit that the kids arrive with guns drawn and ready to attack her, Dean urges them to reconsider this, as she is very likely NOT to be a vampire that attacked their families, or Krissy’s father for that matter, as how she could have been able to, as she is still freshly turning. The scene goes to where Sam and Victor are coming up on the mysterious van that Sam spotted earlier… As they near it, Sam is knocked unconscious and it is revealed that the vampire and Victor are in league.

Sam held captive by Victor.

Sam is tied up at the house and comes to, Victor then reveals how he is staging a vampire attack and that Sam (will be) would be killed in the melee. Victor explains further that there is a need for a newer better breed of hunters and they have to persist as last year’s Leviathan outbreak and his own family’s murder convinced him of that. Dean and the kids arrive to find them in the middle of the situation.

Krissy confronts Victor on the whole truth…

It is finally revealed to Dean and the kids that Victor is behind the attacks and deaths on their families with the vampire he is in league with.. He further implores them to try to look past and continue to be as usual.. Josephine and Krissy break free suddenly, gain a vampire “tranq” gun and Krissy incapacitates the vampire and holds Victor down with a gun. Dean talks Krissy out of taking down Victor in revenge. Krissy gives him her last defiance and pulls the trigger for each of their murders, Victor cringing in fear.. No shots rang and she reveals the shells she emptied after all.

Farewell for now…

All is now well, with the kids and the Winchesters being shown how to cure the vampirism in the girl captured earlier. Sam and Dean say their goodbyes to Krissy, who decides being with hunter partners is her best path in life for now. They realize that Krissy is not a kid anymore but note they will have Garth look in on them from time to time. Dean warns Adian not to break Krissy’s heart, lest she kills him first. Sam notes it all ended well, but Dean is more concerned that if they fail in closing hell’s gates, it is all for not.

And another filler episode ends, friends reunited and another legacy for new hunters emerges. Afterthought are less this time out other than, can Sam and Dean expect more allies to be there in the future, with all the lives they have touched and people they have inspired to hunt the same? We can only as the game draws near to close the hellhole, and other chaotic dilemmas, that the Winchesters will have the help they need.

OK, next episode.. And from the looks of it, it gets pretty serious… The second demon tablet trial has been revealed by Kevin, who is also terrfied by the voice of Crowley playing about in his head. On news of all this, Sam and Dean proceed on this…rescuing an innocent soul from HELL??   No way!! Sam and Dean are not digging this…but are willing to do so.  A bargain is made with a reaper to get them back down there… But guess who may be the target victim soul they rescue?   Watch the promo and sneak peek below!!

Coming on the heels of CW setting Colton Hayne’s Roy Harper and Emily Bett Rickards’ Felicity Smoak as series regulars, the network has just announced that Manu Bennett, who has been portraying Slade Wilson, will also be upped to a series regular for the recently announced second season. As it stands now, the character serves as an ally to Stephen Ammell’s Green Arrow, appearing in flashbacks to their time spent on the island together.

So far, the show’s producers have been rather vague as to weather the Bennett will transition into Wilson’s comic counterpart Deathstroke, which has seen several iterations in the series’ freshman season. Bennett is currently finishing work on the third and final season of Spartacus for Starz, where he plays Crixus.

You can catch Arrow on CW every Wednesday night. Stephen Ammell, Colton Haynes, Katie Cassidy, David Ramsey and John Barrowman star in the hit series centered on the DC Comic hero Green Arrow.

CW president Mark Pedowitz spoke on the renewals, saying that because Supernatural stars Jenson Ackles and Jared Padalecki both signed mulit-season deals last year, it made it much easier to renew the popular series, which has seen a bit of a resurgence thanks to its pairing with the new DC Comics based Arrow.

“We said last year that one of our goals was to establish building blocks to grow on, and now with our new hit Arrow and fan favorite Supernatural on Wednesday night, and the continued success of The Vampire Diaries on Thursday, we’ve been able to do that. Not only do Arrow, Supernatural and The Vampire Diaries perform well on-air, they’re also extremely successful for us both digitally and socially.”

The flagship series The Vampire Diaries was also renewed for a fifth season, for the teenage girls out there. Arrow gave CW its best series premier since 2009 and is currently the network’s most watched show. Supernatural has seen a 15% increase in viewership since last year. You can catch Arrow and Supernatural every Wednesday night on the CW.

Josh "ecksmanfan" Johnson, CW Renews Arrow and Supernatural

Now that Smallville has come to an end on the youth-oriented CW network, execs have been scrambling to find a replacement for the hero oriented series. Earlier this year, the CW introduced Arrow, a gritty and darker take on the Green Arrow, who played a major role in Smallville, though the two series are not connected. With that series proving to be successful, the network is looking to add one more DC character in Wonder Woman.

The new series, which has yet to be green lit for a pilot is said to be centered on a younger Diana, currently being called Isis, before she becomes the famed hero. CW President Mark Pedowitz recently stated that Amazon would be  “an origination story in the sense that Smallville was an origination story.” take that for what it’s worth.

Casting for the series has been underway for a few weeks now, despite not having a pilot ordered. But the fact they are moving forward with casting shows they are fairly confident in the project. Today, STV have learned that Amy Manson is being eyed for the lead role in the series. Manson has had roles in several “geek” shows, including Torchwood, Being Human and Misfits.

I think most would agree that this series is fighting an uphill battle with fans of the character and casting will play a major part in whether this show is successful. Is Manson right for the role? Is she enough to keep this series from collapsing like the most recent failed attempt with Adrienne Palicki? Only time will tell.

Josh "ecksmanfan" Johnson, Torchwood’s Amy Manson Up for CW’s Amazon

“At this time, no. And regarding your next question, regarding is Batman going to make a trip to [Arrow’s] Starling City, they’re not in the same state.”

At this time, the planned Wonder Woman series, called Amazon, has yet to have a pilot ordered, but folks seem confident in the project as the casting process is under way. Just for clarification, Pedowitz did say the series would be “an origination story in the sense that Smallville was an origination story.” So what about a crossover involving the CW’s current hit Arrow and the upcoming Amazon? There seems to be a larger possibilty there.

“I think they all could exist in the same world, but whether they do or they don’t is depending on what the showrunner wants to do.”

Sounds like there may be potential there, assuming the writers and such can find a way to make it happen. What do you guys think, would you want to see Diana show up in Starling City? Does she belong there at all? Of course, Amazon would need to be picked up for a series run for all this to happen and even then, I think it may be a long shot. As long as Tom Welling doesn’t make an appearance as Superman, I’ll be happy.

Chronicles female superhero’s life as a young Amazonian, before she becomes a warrior princess with super powers.

Because of relentless brutality of her life at home, Iris looks at our world with absolute awe and astonishment. She’s delighted -and just as often horrified – by the aspects of everyday life that we take for granted: skyscrapers, traffic, ice cream. It’s all new and fascinating and sometimes slightly troubling – to her. Iris is completely unschooled in our world, our culture, our customs. And she’s completely inexperienced at interpersonal relationships. She has no social filter, does not suffer fools, and tends to do and say exactly what’s on her mind at all times. She’s bluntly, refreshingly honest. She can tell when you’re lying to her. And she doesn’t have time or patience for politics or tact because she’s too busy trying to experience everything our world has to offer. There are too many sights to see – and things to learn – and people to care for. Hers is a true, noble, and generous heart. And she will fight and die for the people she loves. Iris is a fierce warrior with the innocent heart of a romantic – and she will fight to the death to make the world safe for innocents and true romantics everywhere.

Agent Burgos, Ron’s Beauty And The Beast Pilot Review

While the rest of us have to wait until October 10th at 8 pm to see Arrow, we do get to see a new clip. In this scene Oliver Queen deals with some masked kidnappers shortly after he returns to Starling City.

The show was created by Green Lantern scribes Greg Berlanti and Marc Guggenheim with Fringe co-exec Andrew Kreisberg. STephen Amell is Oliver/Arrow. Also, DC juggernaut Geoff Johns tweeted this picture of a mask we spied in the first Arrow trailer. Deathstroke’s mask has a card that reads “Look for it in the premiere episode of Arrow! Series Premiere- Wednesday, Oct. 10 8/7c.”

Yesterday we got our first good look at the CW’s version of the Green Arrow, called of all things Arrow. You can check out the clip and photos by clicking right here. Well today we get our first trailer for the series. We get a pretty good look at the series and what we can expect from the show. The origin for Green Arrow looks interesting. Again, here’s the official synopsis for the show:

After a violent shipwreck, billionaire playboy Oliver Queen was missing and presumed dead for five years before being discovered alive on a remote island in the Pacific. When he returns home to Starling City, his devoted mother Moira, much-beloved sister Thea, and best friend Tommy welcome him home, but they sense Oliver has been changed by his ordeal on the island. While Oliver hides the truth about the man he’s become, he desperately wants to make amends for the actions he took as the boy he was. Most particularly, he seeks reconciliation with his former girlfriend, Laurel Lance. As Oliver reconnects with those closest to him, he secretly creates the persona of Arrow – a vigilante – to right the wrongs of his family, fight the ills of society, and restore Starling City to its former glory. By day, Oliver plays the role of a wealthy, carefree and careless philanderer he used to be – flanked by his devoted chauffeur/bodyguard, John Diggle – while carefully concealing the secret identity he turns to under cover of darkness. However, Laurel’s father, Detective Quentin Lance, is determined to arrest the vigilante operating in his city. Meanwhile, Oliver’s own mother, Moira, knows much more about the deadly shipwreck than she has let on – and is more ruthless than he could ever imagine.
