During a conversation about his new Much Ado About Nothing, director Joss Whedon shared a bit about what his vision of Wonder Woman would have looked like.
“She was a little bit like Angelina Jolie,” Whedon said with a laugh. “She sort of traveled the world. She was very powerful and very naïve about people, and the fact that she was a goddess was how I eventually found my in to her humanity and vulnerability, because she would look at us and the way we kill each other and the way we let people starve and the way the world is run and she’d just be like, None of this makes sense to me. I can’t cope with it, I can’t understand, people are insane. And ultimately her romance with Steve was about him getting her to see what it’s like not to be a goddess, what it’s like when you are weak, when you do have all these forces controlling you and there’s nothing you can do about it. That was the sort of central concept of the thing. Him teaching her humanity and her saying, OK, great, but we can still do better.”
Baffling that Wonder Woman has yet to get off the ground in any medium. At one point Mary Elizabeth Winstead auditioned for the role–that would’ve been amazing
I partially watched what was supposed to be the unreleased pilot a few months ago. I wasn’t exactly impressed with the script, videography and acting abilities. I was waiting for it to turn into a bad 70’s porno.
