According to Joel Silver, a WW flick is a long ways off. With this being the case, can Al & Mile finally get Diana on the show?!
Silver: Woman Not Wonderful
Producer Joel Silver showed up at San Francisco's WonderCon over the weekend expecting to tout his upcoming supernatural film The Reaping, but it took less than six minutes for a fan to implore him to reconsider the departure of Buffy the Vampire Slayer creator Joss Whedon as writer and director of Silver's proposed Wonder Woman movie.
Later, Silver told SCI FI Wire that the Wonder Woman project had a long way to go. "We're not there yet," Silver said in an interview. "I mean, look, ... for a while these Marvel Comics [movies] have been kicking the DC Comics [movies'] ass. You know? I mean all these characters that just keep coming out. And, look, they revived Batman. They're making a new Batman now. It should be great. They're making a new Superman, and they're going to do Justice League, all the characters, which I think is a cool idea. And we're going to get Wonder Woman to work."
Whedon was famously hired to draft a new look at the Amazonian superhero, but quit the project a month ago after failing to win over Silver and Warner Brothers with his take on the franchise. Warner, meanwhile, bought a Wonder Woman spec script from newcomers Matthew Jennison and Brent Strickland, which set the story during World War II, the original period of the comics series.
Silver denied that the spec script would be the basis for the movie. "I don't think so," he said, adding that he never wanted to make a period film. "We didn't buy it for that. There were some good ideas in it, but it was out there, and we wanted to just kind of not have it floating around. We wanted just to acquire it and keep it."
As for how the project will move forward without Whedon? "We'll make it work," Silver said. "You know, it's going to [work]. ... We just couldn't figure it out, but we'll get there." But for now, Silver said he's not actively looking for a new writer or director. "No, not yet. We're just ... talking about it, and we'll get back to it soon." —Patrick Lee, News Editor
