04/21/08 - Joel
Silver told SCI FI Wire that he's now thinking his on-again,
off-again Wonder Woman feature film should tell the
superhero's origins. 
"I thought for a while that I didn't want to do a genesis story of
Wonder Woman," Silver said in a group interview in Long Beach,
Calif., on April 18 while promoting his next film, Speed Racer.
"And so the first few drafts I created weren't genesis stories. And
I don't know, maybe after I saw Spider-Man or whatever, I
thought that it should be a genesis story. And then I had to kind of
go back to the drawing board, because I had a version that the
studio wanted to make that was not a genesis story."
"I just think it should be a genesis story, and I've got to find a
way to tell it," Silver said. "Because whenever I got into the
stuff, you know, Paradise Island and stuff, it was kind of goofy.
But I've got to find a way to do it where it's effective. I mean, I
thought some of the stuff they did in 300 was great. I don't
know if I want to make it that way, but, I mean, I think there's a
way to do this where the audience is going to accept it. But I've
got to figure it out."
Silver described the project as being "tabled for a while now," but
added that he is still determined to find a way to make it work.
"It's sitting there, and when I figure out a way to do it, I'll do
it," he said.
11/02/07 - Joel Silver, who was producing the now-stalled Wonder Woman movie, told reporters that the project has been placed on the back burner in light of another impending superhero film. "They're going to make the Justice League movie, and we're kind of pausing on Wonder Woman now," Silver said. "Let them go ahead and do that picture."
The Amazonian Princess comes to film in 2007, maybe! Let's hope they don't put the wrong actress in the role. Please not Sandra Bullock or Xena! No official site yet but check out these fan sites.
