Talent Tip of the Week

Did you enter the Cold Read Competition? For some talent contestants, this is the Competition that makes them the most nervous. Relax! Your Cold Read does not need to be memorized. You'll need to glance at your script and pick up as much of the line as possible. This will enable you to have eye contact with the professional actor you'll be reading opposite. Show your reactions with your facial expressions as you listen to the other actor read his/her lines.

Adrianne Palicki graba escena de Wonder Woman en las calles

Adrianne Palicki ya está manos a la obra.
Aquí la vemos en el set de "Wonder Woman" por las calles de Hollywood.
Es interesante cuando se rueda fuera de los estudios, y las calles de una ciudad se convierten en set de rodaje.
Así los curiosos miran tan contentos.
Además es que ya es demasiado el cine o las series de televisión, que por ahorrar, lo hacen todo en un plató, y luego pasan por detrás como si los actores estuvieran en la selva o en Nueva York.
Eso ya no parece ni cine ni séptimo arte, simplemente se escogen a unos que entiendan muy bien de acciones montadas por ordenador como los juegos de moda.
Aunque pensándolo bien, los juegos de ordenador son los que pasan al cine, y con éxito.
Me habré quedado anticuada, pero a mi me gusta el cine de toda la vida, con escasos efectos especiales y muy puntuales.
Lo que tiene de bueno el traje de Wonder Woman es las muchas niñas que se disfrazaran de eso...

Adrianne Palicki vestida de Wonder Woman

Echemos un vistazo al equipo de la sexy superhéroe Wonder Woman, Adrienne Palicki ya está promocionando la serie de televisión.
No olvidemos que Wonder Woman es un remake clásico de los años 70 .
A mi tanto remake me harta.

Esta Wonder Woman será como Charles Bronson en sus películas serie b, o sea, una chica normal y moderna, profesional de éxito.
Pero que vengará y defenderá a los necesitados.
Espero que me guste el show, que no me atrae lo más mínimo.
Lo encuentro anticuado todo, desde la vestimenta hasta el látigo que le han colocado, como a Indiana Jones.
Adrianne Palicki es guapa, eso sí.

Pero donde estén "Xena y Gabrielle" que se aparten las demás heroínas.

Adrianne Palicki es Wonder woman

Adrianne Palicki es una actriz estadounidense, de 27 años.
Es la "Tyra Collete" en Friday Night Lights. Ha actuado también el la serie "Supernatural".
Pero a partir de ahora la conoceremos por ser la nueva "Wonder woman".
Será en el remake de la serie de los 70, que protagonizó Lynda Carter.
De momento tenemos a la Mujer Maravilla, pero cuando empezará la nueva serie no es algo que yo sepa.
Aunque el episodio piloto se cree que podrá estar listo y en pantalla para la próxima temporada de televisión en EEUU.
Supongo yo que será para finales de este año.
No hay que negar que la cosa va muy lenta, y eso es señal de falta de confianza en el producto.
Estamos cansados de leer que una película o serie, que está en mente de productoras, sale al aire en un abrir y cerrar de ojos.
Adrianne Palicki está más mona de rubia, a mi me gusta más.
