Joss Whedon

Joss Whedon, who is slated to direct a proposed Wonder Woman feature film, told SCI FI Wire that he has turned in a draft script to producers, who have given him their usual "notes," or comments. "I did [turn it in] to the producers, not to the studio yet," Whedon said in an interview at the Saturn Awards in Universal City, Calif., on May 2. "I’m working on revisions now. ... It’s business as usual. I’m writing and that’s all."

Whedon added that it’s possible an announcement on the film could come later this year. As for a possible start date, Whedon said: "You know, they have to tell me that. And until I actually give it to the studio, I can’t [say]. This is taking longer to write than things usually do, and there’s some reasons for that. Not all of them are my incredible incompetence. But some of them are. But the script is coming together in a way that’s actually even surprising me, so I’m pretty excited. So we’ll just have to wait."

Whedon declined to discuss casting of the film. Whedon attended the Saturn Awards to accept a movie best supporting actress award on behalf of Summer Glau, who co-starred in Whedon’s SF movie Serenity.
