Will Patty Jenkins Return To Direct WONDER WOMAN 2?

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 […]

The New Official Trailer For WONDER WOMAN Teases A Hidden Truth

Lee B. Golden III

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. Thus, after not one, not two but three teaser annoucements on Friday, a brand new trailer for Wonder Woman arrived online ahead of its June 2 theatrical release from Warner Bros. Pictures. SYNOPSIS: Before she was Wonder Woman, she was Diana, princess of the Amazons, trained to be an unconquerable warrior. Raised on a sheltered island paradise, when an American pilot crashes on their shores and tells of a massive conflict raging in the outside world, Diana leaves her home, convinced she can stop the threat. Fighting alongside man in a war to end all wars, Diana will discover her full powers…and her true destiny. I’m currently already sold on the previous official trailers that have aired but the new one still […]

WONDER WOMAN Shows The Men How It’s Done In The Official Trailer!

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. Raised on a sheltered island paradise, when an American pilot crashes on their shores […]

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 […]

Lee B. Golden III

Until then, we can still mull over the hype some with an all-star panel for the film this weekend (H/T: Nerdspan)at Comic-Con International: San Diego where actress Gal Gadot is expected to make an appearance.

The film is the next phase of the WB/DC agenda leading up to the Justice League which opens the following November. SYNOPSIS: Before she was Wonder Woman, she was Diana, princess of the Amazons, trained to be an unconquerable warrior. Raised on a sheltered island paradise, when an American pilot crashes on their shores and tells of a massive conflict […]

Lee B. Golden III

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. SYNOPSIS: Before she was Wonder Woman, she was Diana, princess of the Amazons, trained to be an unconquerable warrior. Raised on a sheltered island paradise, when an American pilot crashes on their shores and tells of a massive conflict raging in the outside world, […]

WONDER WOMAN Wraps Filming With Gal Gadot

Lee B. Golden III

Zack Snyder’s Batman V Superman: Dawn Of Justice has more than $860 million dollars worth of reasons to celebrate its success as the next foray for Warner Bros. currently growing DC movieverse. In the face of all this was growing criticism over its creative approach which has since kept things on the edge just a little with the current production of Justice League: Part One now under way, and so you can certainly some of all this with a grain of salt depending on where you stand. Personally, I thought that the film worked for what it was. It wasn’t perfect, but it was whatever it needed to be to sell a Zack Snyder spectacle that made money. More to the point and in the wake of today’s news of official wrap for Wonder Woman, I admired actress Gal Gadot’s portrayal of the classic character. There are a few things that […]

JUSTICE LEAGUE: PART ONE Starts Filming On April 11

Lee B. Golden III

With Ben Affleck positioning himself for more Batman movies, Henry Cavill maintaining his Superman shape and Gal Gadot finishing up her Wonder Woman shoot for next year, EW reports the next phase is set to commence on April 11 with the start of Justice League: Part One. The film is currently stamped for a November 17, 2017 date following the release of Wonder Woman from director Patty Jenkins earlier on June 23. “The idea that we could begin to boot up a Justice League concept was a cool thing,” said director Zack Snyder. “It was a little bit of an ‘about time’ moment, and I don’t blame [the studio] for feeling that way, because it’s a long time coming, …But I do feel like it’s a little bit of a creative hurdle. It seems like an easy thing to do at first glance, the idea that, ‘Oh, we just get […]

WONDER WOMAN Gets A New Image With Filming Now Underway

Lee B. Golden III

With director Zack Snyder honing in on his superhero movie-making skills for the next several years on with the Justice League films, he’ll be among several directors now embodying the formula to accumulate the long-awaited DC Cinematic Universe following Man Of Steel. That said, there’s plenty to look forward to from Warner Bros. with more Batman movies and so on, but it IS high time that our own Gal Gadot will be getting her day on the big screen this coming March in Batman V Superman: Dawn Of Justice as Wonder Woman. Gladly enough though, her story will continue from there with her own standalone contribution as well from Monster helmer Patty Jenkins. It’s a film that has taken way too long to happen as well after so many years in comic book ink, games and television, and thankfully that’s about to change. Just a few production photos have already […]

WONDER WOMAN Gets Patty Jenkins To Direct!

Lee B. Golden III

It’s been two days since veteran television showrunner Michelle MacLaren reportedly left Warner Bros. long-awaited production of its forthcoming DCCU property, Wonder Woman, following her attachment to the film back in November last year. Alas, it was probably good that the studio stayed awake and in case things didn’t work out right away, and luckily, troubleshooting this one issue wasn’t so difficult. Word from THR states that Patty Jenkins has been tapped to replace McLaren who departed the film citing “creative differences”. Jenkins is best known for her work on her multi-award-winning 2003 debut crime pic, Monster, and was once tappd to direct the 2013 release of Thor: The Dark World herself before Terminator Genisys helmer Alan Taylor took the chair. The film is eyeing a June 23, 2017 release with actress Gal Gadot leading this, one of several appearances throughout Warner Bros. brewing DC Comics-based cinematic universe, including next […]

WONDER WOMAN Gets Michelle MacLaren To Direct!

Lee B. Golden III

Without further delay, word from The Hollywood Reporter announced that Michelle MacLaren has officially signed on to direct the forthcoming Wonder Woman feature film, based on the original comic book superheroine created in 1941. MacLaren‘s attachment comes just a month after it was stated that a female director was being sought after for the film, for which actress Gal Gadot was formally brought on to star in the title role almost a year ago. The film would mark the first of a trilogy to fit somewhere in between the latter four years of the current WB/DCU schedule with Wonder Woman set to release on June 23, 2017. It’s high time though, what with all the progress made by Marvel in its line-up and the online banter and criticisms regarding how slow Warner Bros. has been to bring its DC Cinematic Universe to full fruition. The popular Amazonian demigod has endured […]

Warner Bros. Annonces Its Six-Year Slate Of DC Universe Films

Lee B. Golden III

Marvel muscled up its repetoire on Tuesday with a new addition to its comic book line to possibly accompany its third impending installment of Captain America 3, essentially opening the door to a new phase in their cinematic universe. This comes as DC Entertainment and Warner Bros have been aiming to go neck-and-neck with their current focus on director Zack Synder’s Batman V. Superman: The Dawn Of Justice, following their blockbuster success with Man Of Steel last year, in addition to the development of other properties for film. Well, the competition is now beefing up this week in the months since Warner Bros. and DC Entertainment listed at least nine or ten more movies in an announcement this summer prior to San Diego Comic-Con. Moreover, it is also worth noting that considering the electrifying response that ensued with the exclusive Comic-Con teaser for BvS: DoJ, clearly WB and DC are […]

The film has already begun promoting several images of the title cast, namely Henry Cavill as Superman and Ben Affleck as Batman. We’ve also seen only a few shots of actress Gal Gadot on set in her alterego character, Diana without her iconic Wonder Woman costume, and for months, speculation arose as to what that costume would look like. This weekend as you would suspect, that all changed with the new revealing top to bottom photo below: Empire also took to its readership to describe some brief footage that was shown during Warner Bros. SDCC panel, and it reads as follows: It was short but got right down to the heart of the matter. Set at night, in […]

Gal Gadot Set To Star As Wonder Woman In BATMAN VS SUPERMAN

Lee B. Golden III

It’s been a busy day in movie news, particularly in the superhero movie department. Long after at least one failed television show with another barely seeing the light of day, fans and followers of DC Comics’s efforts to bring forth the sequel to the 2013 blockbuster Man Of Steel have been clamoring over whether or not Wonder Woman would appear in the film, and if so, which actress would qualify to play her. Backing the widespread fan anticipation was the voice of Warner Entertainment CEO Kevin Tsujihara who told The Hollywood Reporter back in October “We need to get Wonder Woman on the big screen or TV.” Well, after narrowing their search down to three actresses last month, Warner Bros. latest announcement verified that such a character belongs on the big screen in the first place, with the news that actress Gal Gadot would be playing the iconic Amazonian superheroine […]

Rileah Vanderbilt Battles Monsters And Henchmen In A New WONDER WOMAN Shortfilm

Lee B. Golden III

Delivered with almost the same aesthetic seen in Zack Snyder’s Man Of Steel, director Sam Balcomb shares his own vision of the iconic DC Comics superheroine, Wonder Woman, in a new two-minute shortfilm shot and released this year with Grayson: Earth One actress Rileah Vanderbilt. While one of just several internet gems to go online illuatrating the superhuman Amazonian warrioress in recent years, Balcomb’s latest work (accompanied by the action team that brought you the award-winning shortfilm, Kill Shelter) could not have come at a better time, considering recent casting rumors surrounding Snyder’s upcoming follow-up, Batman vs. Superman, with Henry Cavill returning opposite actor Ben Affleck’s inheritance of Christian Bale’s former role. Well, as it stands, one can only hope. Rumors are a damper when debunked, and we are long overdue for a live-action Wonder Woman movie on the big screen, standalone or otherwise. Wake up WB!
