Brent Strickland talked to Cinefools about the long gestating Wonder Woman movie he revealed how he thought a Wonder Woman movie should look;
I want it to be a ride. It should be a lot of fun in a world taken seriously. There should be breathtaking action sequences alongside character beats that allow the audience to relate to this Amazon princess, and moments where they get to laugh but not because it's campy. People have described the spec as Wonder Woman meets Raiders of the Lost Ark. I think that's a pretty good tone. However it ends up, I hope it will be seriously fun.
As far as Wonder Woman working as a film ( something I doubt ) he said;
Hollywood kind of insists that you embellish source material - a movie is different than a comic book or graphic novel and needs to be addressed differently. We certainly took liberties on our spec Wonder Woman, but we also used a ton of stuff from the comic. My feeling is that ultimately something iconic like Wonder Woman needs to be a hybrid of the source material and the writer's original inspiration. We feel an obligation to the fan base not only to treat the property with respect, but also to make it fresh - to reinvent the story without reinventing the wheel, so to speak. We enjoyed the research because her back story often revealed things we could use and build on. I think fans would dig it.
I am not a fan of the idea of a Wonder Woman movie... but who knows maybe they will cast the lowest denominator.. Megan Fox.
