Does Lana Wachwoski count?
I actually think she'd be a good choice.

I wish to God you were forced to live out of a car until you made a #1 movie of the year. Maybe Wonder Woman wouldn't be such a mess. Don't try to hide behind the great trailer. People inside are already confirming it's another mess. It is almost impressive how you keep rewarding the same producers and executives for making the same mistakes, over and over.

“‘Wonder Woman’ is very different in tone and style than ‘Batman v Superman’ and ‘Suicide Squad,'” said Deborah Snyder, a producer on all of the films.

That said, Gal Gadot is a freakin' knockout, and watching her in a skimpy suit jumping around and whatnot...could be worse things to submit myself to.
#WonderWoman was shown to a test audience in California tonight!!

RogueScribner wrote:Warners lassos "Wonder Woman" spec scriptLOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - Warner Bros. Pictures and Silver Pictures are quietly in the process of buying a "Wonder Woman" spec script from newcomers Matthew Jennison and Brent Strickland, sources said.
The studio and producer Joel Silver have been developing a big-screen version of the DC Comics superhero, with "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" creator Joss Whedon writing the script and attached to direct.
So why does the studio want another "Wonder Woman" script? Sources said the purchase is a pre-emptive measure. By taking the spec script off the market, it aims to protect itself against the possibility that any similarities between the scripts could be fodder for future legal action.
It is understood that the Jennison-Strickland script is set against the backdrop of World War II, while Whedon's script is set in the present day.
Silver has no interest in making a period version of "Wonder Woman," sources said. But as the spec script made the rounds, it landed at Silver Pictures, and executives there were impressed by Jennison and Strickland's writing.
"Wonder Woman" has long been in the hopper as a feature at Warners, and it went through several writers before Whedon came on board in March 2005.
Reps for Warners and Silver Pictures declined comment.
Molly Freeman wrote:For an in-depth piece on the legacy of DC Comics’ Wonder Woman, Whedon spoke with Empire about his cancelled project. The film would have been set in modern day and featured Diana Prince leaving her home of Themyscira with the character’s comic book love interest Steve Trevor to deal with real-world problems like drug dealers in Gateway City. Whedon said:I worked really hard on that movie and it meant a lot [to me], but I don’t know if what I was trying to do would fit in with what [the studio’s] vision is. I had a take on the film that, well, nobody liked… We just saw different movies, and at the price range this kind of movie hangs in, that’s never gonna work.

Steve Trevor is a fully realized character, who is as much an active participant in our heroine's journey as he is in the larger narrative.

after all these years, it's refreshing to finally see men getting the kinds of decent roles with fleshed-out, fully realized characters that women have monopolized for decades. i was worried his character would just be the typical "dude in distress" that hollywood keeps foisting on us.

A new post over at The Hollywood Reporter reveals the following:"While star Gal Gadot has an option in place for Wonder Woman 2 as part of her overall deal to appear in several DC movies, Warner Bros. executives enlisted Jenkins for just one film, a decision that could end up costing the studio millions of dollars if Jenkins' reps drive a hard bargain for her to return."

seriously, though, it isn't as if women are rounded up and forced to make movies, if actresses want more substantive roles than stop taking the shallow ones and agreeing to show more tits and ass than character. I have to laugh every time some actress like Scarlett Johansson talks about wanting women to get more meaty, meaningful roles when the fact is if Hollywood worked like that actresses like Johansson wouldn't be famous, since her acting chops aren't anything special. if she and other actresses that are more model than actor really believed in wanting equality they would say, "i only get these roles because I am hotter than other, better actresses" THEN I might actually believe the sincerity of their "feminist" rhetoric. (of course then there is the matter of white actresses and actors taking ethnic roles, and Johansson didn't mind doing that at all, a little hypocritical if you ask me)
Charlize Theron had to be uglied up for her oscar role. why not just hire an actress who had the ability and was plain-looking?
I think there should be more roles for women that are fleshed out and fully realized, but I think the blame game that goes on is waaaay too simplified and inaccurate as to all who are responsible for a lack of them.
