RIP Wonder Woman

Joel Silver isn't too optimistic about getting his solo Wonder Woman project off the ground.

While doing the promotion rounds for David Dobkin's Fred Claus, journalists quizzed uber-producer Joel Silver on the prospect of his long gestating Wonder Woman film getting off the ground. We'll get to see Wondy in the Justice League film but if you're gagging for some solo action then it looks like you might be in for a long wait. Scifi Wire has the following quotes from Silver:-
"They're going to make the Justice League movie, and we're kind of pausing on Wonder Woman now. Let them go ahead and do that picture .
"And if JLA comes together, Wonder Woman will be a part of that story, and then we'll see where we go from there. But we struggled with it for a while. I hope that we can solve it and make it one day."
The Justice League cast will be announced any day now; possibly even tomorrow (or earlier if a web outlet gets their mits on a leak). But will the actress for that movie get more than one shot at the role? We all heard the rumours about Warners' aversion to making action films with women and Jessica Biel turned the role down because she wasn't guaranteed her own movie. I've never really been into the idea of a Wonder Woman film, I couldn't see how it'd work... that was until I read the spec script that the studio picked up by a couple of unknown writers. It was pretty great and the period setting added a unique feel to things. They should've made that version - the writers made it work. I think it's very telling that both the Flash and the Green Lantern have had their own movies announced on the back of Justice League yet Man of Steel and Wonder Woman are floundering. We're probably looking at 2011/12 at the earliest before we see those films. source - scifi wire
