Cinematical and Super Hero Hype bring us some small insight on the Wonder Women movie which is to be released in 2007. Joss Whedon spoke on his new film Serenity to Australia’s ABC radio, following the discussion he answered a few questions on the Wonder Women front.
“We’ll meet a Wonder Woman who is similar to the one from the original comics and from the TV series to an extent,” said Whedon. “Neither of them are really a template. I’ve never loved the comics and I didn’t watch the television series, but I loved the character very much.”
This may be good news to some who were upset about past rumors of Wonder Women being younger, but the comment which bothers me slightly is that Whedon admits to never reading the original comics or watching the TV show with Lynda Carter. Call me crazy but it seems that Whedon has some homework to do before he gets this project rolling. This is a big deal in my mind, Wonder Women is a classic comic book iconic character, like Superman -minus the testicles-. Fans from all over the world are going to be expecting a certain amount of accuracy, and do you truly think that accuracy can be met after a few months of research? When I crammed for exams in college I passed, but I wouldn’t say I became a expert in any way.
The part of Wonder Women has not been decided. So until there is a face to the name, I will have to continue using imaginary faces when I fantasize about Wonder Women capturing me and tying me up with her lasso of truth. While unable to resist, I belt out all of the sexual things I want her to do to me … wait; perhaps I’ve gone to far?!
What are your thoughts on a directors knowledge of the subjects in their movies? And who would you like to see darning the tight, low cut, reveling and saucy costume of the worlds most famous female crime fighter?
