LOS ANGELES, Dec. 20 (UPI) -- The mastermind of "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" has reportedly been tapped to develop "Wonder Woman" for the big screen, TV Guide Online reports.

The deal -- which is reportedly nearly signed -- comes only two months after Whedon announced he was leaving the TV biz to focus on the silver screen.
His next effort, he said, is a film based on the Firefly TV series called "Serenity."
Meanwhile, there's no word who will play "Wonder Woman," the role created by Lynda Carter on TV.
