Board 8 > CW President says Powerpuff Girls Pilot was a HUGE MISS and demand a SECOND TRY.

(+) Yeah! (+)

The shocking pass of CW's Powerpuff Girls live action reboot has people wondering just how big of a miss it was for execs to pass...and CW Exec, Mark Pedowitz answered that and said it was a HUGE MISS!!

He is however giving ALL those involved including Chloe Bennett, Dove Cameron, Yana Perreault and director Diablo Cody to make another run at it and said "We believe in the cast completely, we believe in Diablo and Heather, the writers in this case, the pilot didn't work"

Diablo Cody and Heather Regnier wrote and directed the pilot based on the original Cartoon Network animated series created by Craig McCracken.

It follows America's pint sized superheroes who are now disillusioned twenty somethings who resent having lost their childhood to crimefighting

He said that they needed to do this pilot justice to the popularity of the series though he didn't say what needed to be reworked but said it felt too campy....

He said they needed to take a step back and to go back to the drawing board to see what went wrong and try again with this powerful property

It comes just hours after a purported script was leaked on twitter and gained negative attention which described their sex lives and edgy attitudes though Pedowitz didn't verify if it was legit

The Lost Boys tv series also had concern from CW execs who felt the original pilot filmed in Vancouver didn't quite work and gave them another chance to retool as it was a Passion Project for Pedowitz.

But after refilming the pilot with Twilight director, Catherine Hardwicke and NEW actors in North Carolina, it still didn't impress execs and they chose Kung Fu instead which turned out to be a hit for the network.

Do you think they will succeed in making it better a second time?
