About time the Amazon princess got some love from a major media outlet!
Some insights from the article include the descriptions and some passages from the god-awful scripts that have been considered for Wonder Woman projects so far(thank God for unanswered prayers, I think). Most of the players involved declined comment, which I find very telling. Producer Joel Silver and the execs at Warner Bros. refuse to give our girl the time of day. But Joss Whedon -- yes, THE Joss Whedon of Buffy the Vampire fame -- is heavily quoted in the article since he was the last major writer/director attached to a Wonder Woman film project, and he offers great insight into the reasons she hasn't been as easily invested in as her male counterparts - namely Batman and Superman. The costume. She has no city. Her back story is mired in Greek mythology.
"She's a girl," says Whedon. "Hollywood is still twitchy about that."
Not even David E. Kelley's proposed Wonder Woman TV show is a guarantee, it seems, since he's still prepping a way to pitch it so that a network is interested.
The real problem with Wonder Woman? No one thinks anyone would pay to see a movie about a female superhero. I think they're all morons.
What have I got to do to get to Hollywood and make this film already? Geez, people. Don't make it so darn complicated!
