Michelle MacLaren and Warner Bros. have parted ways, and MacLaren will no longer direct Wonder Woman, says The Hollywood Reporter.
“Given creative differences, Warner Bros. and Michelle MacLaren have decided not to move forward with plans to develop and direct Wonder Woman together,” said the studio in a statement.
With rumors that Scott Eastwood will join the cast as Steve Trevor and rumors making their way through the pike that Wonder Woman is a highlight of Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice, it seemed like the movie was coming along as well as could be expected.
Wonder Woman is expected to shoot this fall for a 2017 release, and stars Gal Gadot in the title role. Little else is officially known as yet.
I find it hard to care myself, about most stuff CBM related actually.
Yeah, kinda. I care for Rogers and Deadpool, that's it.
I'd love to care about something DC related these days...
Patty Jenkins, who at one point was to direct Thor 2 for rival Marvel Studios, has closed a deal to helm Warner Bros.' female superhero movie.
Warners moved at lightning speed to sew up another director after parting ways Monday with Michelle MacLaren, the experienced TV director and producer who was to have made her feature directorial debut with Wonder Woman. Creative differences were cited as the reasons for MacLaren's departure.
Selecting Jenkins helps Warners avoid what some saw as a gender bias against women directors helming superhero tentpoles. Ironically, Jenkins would have been the first female director on a Marvel movie if she had continued on Thor 2. She will now become the first female director to handle a big project in Warner's developing DC universe.
The studio needed to move quickly in order not to lose momentum on the project, which has been slotted for 2017 and has Gal Gadot attached to star.
Jenkins is also another experienced TV filmmaker, although she actually got her start in movies. Her debut film was Monster, the indie that won Charlize Theron a best acting Oscar. But showing how hard the film world can be for female directors, Jenkins has had a tough time finding a follow-up feature. She did, however, make a mark in TV, including directing the pilot for AMC’s acclaimed crime drama The Killing.
Really? I personally thought Suicide Squad was shaping up to make the most sense in terms of the source material, apparent approach, and director. And I didn't see people being overly critical of what is going on there. Obviously, Will Smith and Deathstroke are terribly miscast, but apart from that. . .Wonder Woman was literally the one film they seemed to have been one of the most generally, positively received of the upcoming slate.
Monster was a good, f'd up movie. She should fit into the Snyderverse just fine.
