Ever since plot and setting details for Patty Jenkins’ second Wonder Woman movie started leaking out onto the internet, there’s been one question (or two, if we count “Steve’s totally a ghost now, right?”) that’s been poking at fans of the series: Why 1984?
It’s almost America’s birthday, and while celebrating this nightmare of a nation may seem particularly unwarranted these days, there’s no reason you can’t protest racist policies and drink a case of cool and refreshing movie trailers. Luckily, this is Trailer Happy Hour, the place where the trailers live, and today…
[Note: Spoilers for Wonder Woman—which came out last summer, and is currently streaming on HBO Go/Now as well as available for digital rental—within.]
A few months ago, Wonder Woman director Patty Jenkins revealed that the sequel to her DC Comics-based hit would be another period piece, with Diana of Themyscira heading from World War I to kick butt and take names in the potentially less dangerous, but definitely less fashionable world of the 1980s. (Insert your own…
According to Deadline, Wonder Woman 2 may have found a surprising choice for its main villain, with Kristen Wiig reportedly “in talks” to play longtime Wonder Woman nemesis Cheetah. Deadline expects those talks to work out very soon, and it says Cheetah will be a “main” character in the film and not just a back-up…
As befits the superhero turned feminist icon it centers on, the sequel to Wonder Woman will be the first film to implement the new anti-sexual harassment guidelines released by the Producers Guild Of America.
For a while there, things didn’t look good for Donald Trump being named Time’s Person Of The Year for the second year in a row, a title we must remind readers and apparently the president that isn’t a superlative along the lines of “Best Hair” or “Most Likely To Succeed At Kicking Off World War III,” but an…
Justice League pretty much crashed and burned (although there was one scene our critics liked a lot), so fans are looking ahead to the followup to the DCEU’s 2017 success story: director Patty Jenkins’ Wonder Woman. Diana (Gal Gadot)’s sweet and charming (and ultimately, ill-fated) romance with Steve Trevor (Chris…
Over the weekend, Page Six cited an anonymous source who claimed that Gal Gadot was refusing to star in Wonder Woman 2 if Brett Ratner, whom several actresses recently accused of sexual harassment, was involved in any way. Ratner’s RatPac-Dune Entertainment company was one of the financial backers on the first Wonder…
Six women, including Olivia Munn and Natasha Henstridge, have now said Brett Ratner sexually harassed or assaulted them. They shared their stories with the Los Angeles Times, putting on the record the “open secret” that was Ratner’s predatory behavior. And so began a domino effect of people expressing the desire of…
Despite having multiple Avatar movies to worry about/make people care about, James Cameron recently took the time to double down on his comments about Patty Jenkins’ Wonder Woman movie, telling The Hollywood Reporter that Diana of Themyscira was very much an “objectified icon.” For Cameron, who doesn’t seem to think…
Back in August, James Cameron thought it would be a good idea—or at least a medium idea—to publicly go against the grain and declare that Wonder Woman was “a step backwards” for women in movies. He believed that the film’s positive reception was just “self-congratulatory back-patting” from “male Hollywood,” and he…
Earlier today, we reported that Patty Jenkins has finally inked a deal to direct the Wonder Woman sequel, months after it was first announced. The reason for the delay is that Jenkins was holding out for a fee proportionate to what her male peers receive for directing a big ol’ blockbuster tentpole film. Then The…
Not long after James “Let’s make sure the Na’vi have tits” Cameron called Wonder Woman a step backwards for women’s representation in film, Patty Jenkins judiciously responded to his claims that Gal Gadot’s Diana is an “objectified icon.” The director deflected Cameron’s woefully misdirected feminist critique with a…
Ever since Wonder Woman made its triumphant debut, reuniting director Patty Jenkins with star Gal Gadot for the sequel that’s already been scheduled for a December 2019 release has seemed like a real no-brainer. But while word broke that Jenkins was working on a treatment for Wonder Woman 2—which will reportedly be set…
That old saw about “comic books—they’re not just for kids anymore!” went out with pet rocks and orange shag carpeting, but even in 2017, when superhero movies carry the film industry on their muscular, rippling backs, the genre struggles for acceptance come Oscars time. Some people thought Deadpool had a shot at a…
With a little bit of time to kill before production formally begins on Wonder Woman 2, Deadline reports that the film’s director, Patty Jenkins, and co-star Chris Pine are reuniting for a six-part TNT drama miniseries called One Day She’ll Darken. The series is inspired by the memoir by Fauna Hodel, a white woman…
Diana Prince will once again be caught up in humanity’s war machine, as reports are now cropping up to indicate that the Wonder Woman sequel will be set during the Cold War. ScreenRant broke the news first, citing sources and production details about the 1980s setting for the film, which will once again star Gal Gadot…
Wonder Woman and its director, Patty Jones, just set a new box office record, snagging the distinction of being the most successful live-action movie ever directed by a woman. Today saw the Warner Bros. superhero flick surpass the previous title holder, Phyllida Lloyd’s Mamma Mia!, which brought in $609.8 million in…
