WONDER WOMAN 1984 Stakes A Day And Date Theatrical/HBO Max Release This Christmas

A little over a year since its originally-planned release last December, it appears that Warner Bros. Pictures is done kicking the can down the road further and has resigned to a releasing the long-awaited Wonder Woman 1984 simultaneously in 3D/2D/IMAX theaters and via HBO Max. The announcement was made Wednesday with a trailer relaunch, dating the film’s release accordingly in time for Christmas on December 25 in the U.S., with HBO Max releasing the film at no additional cost to subscribers. International markets will get to debut the film a week in advance from December 16. The move definitely cements things a little further as the country continues to struggle with the on-going pandemic and its crippling effect on select businesses, particularly the traditional theatrical model, as some exhibitors continue to face foreclosures and bankruptcy, while some consumers in select areas turn toward drive-in screenings as a more feasible model […]

Lee B. Golden III

With Marvel continuing to break records with its slate, Warner Bros. and DC Entertainment are towing things a bit carefully as they play catch-up with their comic book film schedule. Wonder Woman was an unquestionably significant step forward for the studio both commerically as well as critically and socially for fans proving to be a worthy shepherdess for female empowerment in cinema. Production is now months away from filming its sequel which will be set in a modern period following the World War II backdrop of the first film that ultimately pit actress Gal Gadot in the title role against Ares. For this, Deadline has it on good terms that SNL veteran, actress and comedian Kristen Wiig (Ghostbusters, Zoolander 2) is up to play the villainess role of Cheetah for Patty Jenkins’ return to the helm ahead of its Novemeber 1, 2019 release. According to comic book lore, there are […]

Lee B. Golden III

It was likely a matter of time following last month’s update regarding Patty Jenkins’s stirring talks to return to the helm for Wonder Woman 2. That said, it looks as if the deal has officially been sealed for Patty Jenkins to direct the sequel which opens on December 13, 2019. Wonder Woman opened to critical and box office acclaim in the months that followed its June 2 release, topping $410 million dollars domestically within its global gross of $813 million dollars. Its initial weekend opening garnered it as the largest female-lead superhero movie opening of all time, as well as the biggest opening in June for a superhero movie, and the biggest opening in June for a Warner Bros. film. It earned $100.5 million at the top of its release making it the highest opening weekend box office of all time for a female director. Variety reports that Jenkins’s return […]

Patty Jenkins Will Direct WONDER WOMAN 2

Lee B. Golden III

Warner Bros. Just as fans have hoped, it became clearer on Thursday evening that filmmaker Patty Jenkins was more than qualified to return to the director’s chair for the upcoming Wonder Woman sequel. With payday kinks still being worked on, reports finally came in more than two and a half months after the film’s principal release that the acclaimed Monster helmer was in final talks to return for the second film reprising actress Gal Gadot in the title role once more. The first film was a long-awaited feat after years of having the character presented in comic book pages by creator William Moulton Marston, as well as on television and other media and merchandise. Written by Allan Heinberg and hailed with a powerful score by Rupert Gregson-Williams, the movie follows Gadot’s portrayal from her debut in last year’s Batman V. Superman: Dawn Of Justice, exploring the primary tale of young, […]

Will Patty Jenkins Return To Direct WONDER WOMAN 2?

Lee B. Golden III

While Patty Jenkins’s Wonder Woman became a global hit in its first live-action film since hitting comic book pages more than seventy years ago, perhaps one of several major misfires was not having her signed right away for the sequel. This led to the question persisting as the film began circulating in the press as the promotional tour was under way leaving any and all wondering just when this would happen. On Tuesday, Variety posted an interview with Jon Berg and Geoff Johns, the two men helping to shephed the DC Universe in its current evolution, wherein among the questions were the following two: Will Patty Jenkins be back to direct the sequel to “Wonder Woman”? Johns: Patty and I are writing the treatment right now. The goal is to make another great “Wonder Woman” film. I had a blast making it with Patty the first time. We’ve got a cool […]

WONDER WOMAN Lands An Action Packed Final Trailer

Lee B. Golden III

Notwithstanding the qustions regarding the lax markering of Warner Bros.’s latest DCU outing, Wonder Woman, I’d say the studio is doing a fine job of letting everyone else do their work – inadvertantly or other. Apart from that, we now have a final trailer airing online as of late Sunday…I was in bed and frankly I don’t know what the deal is with these late evening trailers. Ah well, at any rate the latest trailer invites fans to catch Gal Gadot in the title role opposite Spanish actress Elena Anaya debuting DC villainess, Doctor Poison. Chris Pine, Robin Wright and Danny Huston also star with Patty Jenkins at the helm, lending a bit more to the plot than some of the regular fish-out-of-water comedy bits like Gal fashioning some kick-friendly threads and trying to maneuver around town with a sword in her hand and so on… yeah I’m already sold […]

Not to be outdone this week by Charlize Theron’s vicious decor in the world of espionage is one other stake in female-centric thrills with actress Gal Gadot headlining.

Lee B. Golden III

If there were ever a better time for the longstanding DC comic book legend, Wonder Woman, that time has come. Sure, it’s taken decades for the character to see anything other than TV and animated properties like her other male counterparts, though the market these days is reportedly tons more profitable for film now, and I’d bet that director Patty Jenkins couldn’t be more pleased. The first teaser trailer shined over the summer amid Comic Con fevor and at least one international spot circulated. On Thursday, Warner Bros. Pictures threw the signal once more for fans to revel in actress Gal Gadot’s latest iteration of the cinematic superheroine following this year’s Batman V Superman: Dawn Of Justice. SYNOPSIS: Before she was Wonder Woman, she was Diana, princess of the Amazons, trained to be an unconquerable warrior.

SDCC 2016: Comic-Con Loads Up With Teaser Trailers For WONDER WOMAN And JUSTICE LEAGUE

Lee B. Golden III

It’s been 75 years since William Moulton Marston brought DC Comics character Wonder Woman to life in ink. Between then and now, it’s also been an insufferable matter of time until the Amazonian warrior would finally get her day in a feature film of her own after decades of Batman and Superman televsion shows and movies, save for a three-season program that would make actress Lynda Carter a televsion icon. Nonetheless, no one can say it’s been fair ride until now. Wonder Woman herself is finally getting her day as of next June and with Warner Bros. fully entrenched in their efforts to make the DC Cinematic Universe a thing following this year’s albeit wobbly delivery of Batman V. Superman: Dawn Of Justice. As such, it’s high time Marston’s creation got the respect it has long deserved, and with Monster helmer Patty Jenkins at the helm and showing out for […]

While the wait has surely been long, it may undoubtedly turn out to be worth it for DC Comics fans rooting for actress Gal Gadot in the wake of premiering this year in Zack Snyder’s Batman V. Superman: Dawn Of Justice as superheroine favorite, Wonder Woman. Just in time for her 75th anniversary celebration, Comic-Con International is readying the amazonian savior’s promotional run of her new standalone feature film from Monster helmer Patty Jenkins whose appointment as director of the big scale DC property from Warner Bros. hasn’t been without its stumbles, and needless to say, the first phase of the hard part is finally over.
