“At one time, Joel [Silver] said they might have an idea. But they got diverted to another project [and] never followed through… There may come a time when they will be focused on ‘Wonder Woman’ and may come up with whatever their take on it was. They’re certainly very talented guys. Their vision for movies — whether they’re successful or not — is always singular.”
But what he does know is that he wants the story to be modern:
“I hope that we don’t finally wind up doing the same story again: Steve Trevor flying, and his plane crashes onto the island [of Themyscira, Wonder Woman’s matriarchal homeland]. He’s supposed to be executed, and she saves his life. Perhaps we’ll do that in a very abbreviated fashion up front, and then come up with a story that no one has seen yet.”
Let’s be honest, if you’re Leonard Goldberg you’ve fallen ass-first into the greatest job on Earth. No one really gives a shit about a Wonder Woman movie as a movie. We care about which chick gets cast and the subsequent prospect of seeing her prance around on a big screen for two hours in a pair of knee-high boots and a bustier. If there was ever a movie impossible to fuck up, this is the one. Put Mary Elizabeth Winstead in the lead and you’ll turn a profit even if the villain is Excessive Nostril Hair Man or something.
