Wonder Woman The Movie


Wonder Woman is an announced superhero film based on the fictional DC Comics character Wonder Woman. The film was originally intended to be written and directed by Joss Whedon and produced by Joel Silver, but Whedon left the project due to script differences. A new director and writer has yet to be determined for Wonder Woman.

n January 2001, producer Joel Silver approached Todd Alcott to write the Wonder Woman screenplay with Silver Pictures backing the project. Early gossip included actresses such as Mariah Carey, Sandra Bullock, and Catherine Zeta-Jones for the role of Wonder Woman. Sandra Bullock was a strong candidate for the project, according to producer Leonard Goldberg in a May 2001 interview. The project did not take off for the time being, but instead went through various screenplay drafts written by Alcott, Jon Cohen, Becky Johnston, and Philip Levens. By August 2003, Levens was replaced by screenwriter Laeta Kalogridis.

In March 2005, Warner Bros. and Silver Pictures announced that Joss Whedon would write and direct the film adaptation of Wonder Woman. Since Whedon was busy directing Serenity at the time, and still had to research Wonder Woman's background, the director did not begin writing the screenplay until late 2005. According to Joel Silver, the script would involve the origin of Wonder Woman and have the presence of the character Steve Trevor, explaining, "Trevor crashes on the island and they go back to Man's World." Silver expressed interest in having Wonder Woman filmed in Australia once the script was completed.
