Warner Bros Taking Pitches For Wonder Woman
According to a report on IESB, the wheels are turning at Warner Bros. for the production of a live-action film based on the DC Comics character, Wonder Woman.
From IESB:
There was a regime change late last year over at Silver Pictures, Andrew Roma is now the man in charge and will be the man spearheading the live action Wonder Woman project along with mega producer Joel Silver.
Sources in the Burbank studios have confirmed there is quite a bit of movement on the WW front. With Green Lantern going into production this year, it looks like Princess Diana may finally get the go ahead from WB.
WB and Silver Pictures are in the early stages but they are eager to get started on the movie. Sources tell IESB that WB is looking for new writers on the project and have been taking pitches the last few weeks.
Way back in 2005 the reigns for the script to this movie were handed to Joss Whedon. In 2007 he walked away from the project after failing to come to an agreement on the script with Silver Pictures. Silver purchased another spec script that had been written by writers Matthew Jennison and Brent Strickland but announced they wouldn’t produce it as it wasn’t written for a modern setting (they apparently purchased it to stop any one else from getting their hands on it). Jennison and Strickland were again hired in 2008 by Silver to produce a modern script, and since that announcement no further news on the script has been forthcoming.
If IESB’s rumor is correct, then it would appear Silver Pictures are passing in on Jennison/Strickland’s modernized script too.
DC/Warner nonetheless are aiming at a release date of 2011.
