The Official Patty Jenkins IS the director of Wonder Woman!

Really glad they went with a foreigner for WW (especially as a Jew myself). She brings out that out-of-water element perfectly for the character.

 

I want to see more movies directed by Patty, but i'm also selfish and want to see her go into WW sequel right away. This will only delay a WW movie, but i'm glad for her if it happens.

 

4 Wonder Woman Scenes That Could Have Been Very Different If They'd Been Directed by a Man

Horror streaming service Shudder is expanding into original content with Shudder Originals, a new banner with several projects in development, including one that has “Wonder Woman” director Patty Jenkins attached to direct, THR reports. The project, “Riprore,” comes from a story written by Jenkins’ husband, Sam Sheridan. Here’s the official synopsis:

“[‘Riprore’] focuses on the heart of gangland Los Angeles, where a gruesome discovery sparks a frenetic homicide investigation, but underneath the surface lurks a darkness that leads to the end of days.” Sheridan is an author and former MMA fighter who previously wrote “A Fighter’s Heart” and “The Disaster Diaries.”

Many of these points are pretty dubious; some are factually incorrect.

 

Classic DR.

 

On the subject of Jenkins, apparently she has not signed onto the sequel, contrary to previous reports. Though given what she did with this film, I don't see why she wouldn't eventually sign on unless she just wants to do something different.

Like Matt Reeves with The Batman, she has the advantage, though.

 

I imagine she'll be back for the sequel but I imagine WB will give her sweet deal to direct another film of her choosing.

 

Patty deserves a huge raise, final cut on the sequel, and a percentage of the sequel's box office revenue. WB would be foolish to reject her, after the effort and time she spent lobbying the studio to make the freaking movie.

Her agents should drive a hard bargain. Enough for WB to concede in order to get her back, but enough for her to be more than fairly compensated.

 

I think a raise, a development deal and final cut would be likely than percentage of box office, studios rarely offer it unless you're a huge director like Spielberg or Nolan.

 

Such a bad article. Modern feminism is kind of a joke. Hey we got exactly what we want...but let's still write a man trashing article b/c we "know" what would have happened if we didn't. Brutal.

 

I hope she is signed on for 2 WW sequels as well as other DCEU projects. She should get a shot at whatever she likes after saving and bringing this universe to life.

 

She doesn't need to direct just DC films. I think if she has a passion project that she wants to direct that isn't too expensive, WB will likely greenlight as part of their overall deal with her.

 

How hard should they drive it though? Is there any way that WB could reason that they can just get someone else instead of Jenkins for the sequel if they feel she is demanding too much?

Despite the box office success, does she actually have as much bargaining power as she might think, or would the WB executives still be stuck in that mindset that women directors are generally not as successful as men and that perhaps this one was just a fluke?

 

Her agents will be doing the negotiating, and sometimes they can get too overzealous (like Matt Reeves' agents did when he was first negotiating for The Batman).

If Patty is replaced by a MALE director for the WW sequel, the backlash will be huge. Not just from women, but male fans as well.

 

They were willing to pony up for Nolan after Batman Begins. They should do the same here. It absolutely defies logic to let the first director to deliver a slam-dunk winner in the DCEU walk away.

 

It's easy though to become arrogant and start thinking it was always going to do these kinds of numbers anyway, and quickly forget what it was like before this movie and how much faith people had lost in this cinematic universe. It's like when some people are really nervous about a job interview or exam or whatever, and then when they get through and pass, they think that they were always going to do that anyway and forget how difficult it was before.

 

Warner Bros in general tend to be director friendly, it's the reason why directors like Christopher Nolan and Clint Eastwood have made multiple films for them.

 

She doesn't need to direct just DC Films, but DC films need her to direct a good amount of them!

These guys should be allowed zero passion projects, unless they coincidentally happen to be based on comic characters. Pay her enough to finance them all herself later and turn her into a robot for the cause. t:

 

Does Clint Eastwood still direct for WB at all? I thought he just makes his own independent projects now via his own company Malpaso.

 

His last couple of films were distributed and produced by WB including the hugely successful American Sniper and Sully. His production company is based at Burbank on the WB lot.

 

Translation=Show me the money.

Which will happen.

 

Toby Emmerich won't let Patty walk away. If WB won't give her a percentage of the sequel profits, then giving her final cut and $10M to direct a WW sequel (plus an option for a third WW movie and a passion project) seems like a fair deal to get her back.

I would like to see Patty become a more integral part of DC Films, not in a directing capacity, but perhaps she and Geoff Johns could consult and/or do scriptments of other superhero origins stories. Have her be the guiding force and nurture other directors' visions for GLC, Flash, Cyborg, et al.

 

Jenkins will be on Conan tomorrow.

 

Conan: "So Patty, you're about to make a boatload of cash right?"
