Worstpreviews.com Wonder Woman (canceled)Joss Whedon - "Wonder Woman" Movie - Why Did Whedon Abandon "Wonder Woman" ?Monday 2 March 2009, by Webmaster Last we heard, the filmmakers behind the "Wonder Woman" movie were still waiting for the script. Most recently, writer/director Joss Whedon ("Buffy the Vampire Slayer") was said to have quit the project after producer Joel Silver purchased a rival WWII-centered script drafted by unknowns Matthew Jennison and Matt Strickland. But why did Whedon quit? He explains to The Telegraph: "I was told they were very anxious to make it. I wrote a script. I rewrote the story. And by the time I’d written the second script, they asked me...not to. They didn’t tell me to leave, but they showed me the door and how pretty it was. Would I like to touch the knob and maybe make it swing? I was dealing with them through [producer] Joel Silver who couldn’t tell me what they wanted or anything else. I was completely in the dark. So I didn’t know what it was that I wasn’t giving them. I’ve moved on." Back in November, McG’s name has been thrown around to come helm the project and Beyonce was pushing to star. "I want to do a superhero movie and what would be better than Wonder Woman?," she said. "It would be great. And it would be a very bold choice. A black Wonder Woman would be a powerful thing. It’s time for that, right?" Is anyone looking forward to a "Wonder Woman" movie? Keywords |
