DC Entertainment: What’s The Game Plan?

DC Entertainment: What’s The Game Plan?

Yesterday we found out that Warner Bros. has created DC Entertainment Inc. (DCE) to better expand the DC Comics into a multimedia brand of steel . Now comes the inevitable question of “What’s the game plan?”

MTV Splash Page posted a nice piece declaring which DC properties should be put on fast-track under the DCE banner, and this being Friday and all, I thought I’d once again do a little call-and-response on the topic (I now consider Splash Page’s Josh Wigler to be something of a pen-pal).

So in response to the call, here’s my take on the DC Entertainment venture and what paths it should be considering…

Megan Fox: ‘Wonder Woman Is A Lame Superhero’

The Wonder Woman movie is a project that has been in-development for years and years now. It has been off and on since way back in 2005 (at least), until earlier this year when it was reported that Warner Bros. and Silver Pictures were trying to get the project moved along (finally), looking for a good spec script and the “right” director to bring the female superhero to the big-screen.

Wonder Woman Movie Gaining Traction?

IESB is reporting that the live-action Wonder Woman movie (which has started and stalled over the course of the last few years) might finally have found some legs.

According to the report, Warner Bros. and Silver Pictures (as in super-producer Joel Silver) are trying to get the project moving ahead, searching for writers with a good script pitch and a director who can bring Wonder Woman to the big screen in blockbuster fashion.

NY Comic-Con 2009: Wonder Woman Review

NY Comic-Con 2009: Wonder Woman Review

Friday night at the NYCC DC Comics debuted their newest animated feature, Wonder Woman. The movie was produced by DC animation legend Bruce Timm, and featured the voice work of Keri Russell in the titular role, alongside Serenity star Nathan Fillion, Alfred Molina, Rosario Dawson, Oliver Platt and Virginia Madsen.

The screening, which took place very late in the evening, actually turned out to be the perfect bookend to the day: Wonder Woman is both funny and action-packed and is probably one of the best DC Comics animated features I’ve seen this side of  Justice League.

David Goyer: Warner Bros. Putting DC Movies On Hold

David Goyer: Warner Bros. Putting DC Movies On Hold

In an IESB interview for The Unborn, director/writer David Goyer says all DC properties are currently on hold for the time being in regards to film development. This comes as confirmation of what we’ve previously suspected.

When probed about Supermax and Justice League, Goyer had this to say.

“A lot of the DC movies at Warner Brothers are all on hold while they figure out, they’re going to come up with some new plan, methodology, things like that so everything has just been pressed pause at the moment.”

Including the two movies mentioned, Superman and Green Lantern would also be on hold. With an across the board freeze, Warner Bros. may be looking to create a cohesive DC Universe.

Wonder Woman Wachowski Rumors Debunked

Wonder Woman Wachowski Rumors Debunked

MTV News has been doing a dutiful job trying to keep up with all the wayward fragments of the shattered Justice League movie, like keeping tabs on the Wonder Woman movie, which has been sitting snuggly in the lap of producer Joel Silver (The Matrix) for some time now.

According to MTV, Silver, like the man with his finger on the big red button, had been thinking of handing Wonder Woman over to the Wachowski Bros. (The Matrix). Thankfully, El Mayimbe from Latino Review were able to deflate this troubling rumor, while we here at Screen Rant looked into what’s really going on with big-screen adaptation of America’s favorite Amazon.

Warner Bros Finally Gets Serious About DC Comics

Warner Bros Finally Gets Serious About DC Comics

It has been a long time in coming, but it now appears that Warner Bros. has finally decided to make use of their stable of DC Comics characters.

Following the financial and critical success of The Dark Knight Warner Bros. has realized that they are sitting on a gold mine – not only from box office receipts, but also from DVD, television, video games and other sources of revenue.

Last month the company held a strategy meeting in an attempt to figure out what was needed in order for them to match Marvel Comics in the comic book movie stakes, and it would appear that they have finally come up with a plan.

Wonder Woman Movie DOA For Now

Wonder Woman Movie DOA For Now

Don’t look for a stand-alone version of Wonder Woman on the big screen any time soon. According to Joel Silver, who was in charge of production on the film, it’s now on indefinite hold due to Justice League as well as The Flash and Green Lantern movies.

Although the character is supposed to have a major role in the JL movie, development on a Wonder Woman movie has suffered the same sort of false starts and stops that plagued Iron Man for years. At one point Joss Whedon was attached to write and direct, and honestly I can’t think of a better choice for a movie with a female superhero as the lead. Whedon’s stock in trade is the female hero and he knows how to infuse the right amounts of femininity, vulnerability and strength into his characters. Think Buffy the Vampire Slayer and the female characters in Firefly and Serenity.

Katie Holmes Is NOT Wonder Woman (Duh)

Katie Holmes Is NOT Wonder Woman (Duh)

Earlier today word was all over the place regarding the possibility that Katie Holmes might be up for the role of the in-production-hell movie Wonder Woman. I didn’t swoop on it because honestly, it just seemed ridiculous. Katie’s screen presence amounts to that of a mousy little thing. Very cute, yes – Amazonian Wonder Woman? I don’t think so.

Expectedly, news has come out saying that it’s bunk. My pals over at ComicBookMovie.com got the word from IESB that the rumor is bogus and that the movie is indeed in limbo at the moment.

RIP: Flash And Wonder Woman Movies

RIP: Flash And Wonder Woman Movies

Talk about a one-two punch.

On the same day come separate announcements stating that David Goyer is no longer writing and directing The Flash and that Joss Whedon is no longer involved with Wonder Woman.

Sucks to be a fan of either one of those now, I’m afraid. I predict development limbo for both of them, if they ever get made. I say that because I really don’t think that the superhero movie genre will be “hot” indefinitely. As a matter of fact this year may be the peak, with three superhero movies being released (Spiderman III, Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer and Ghost Rider).

Will DC Boot Marvel from the Big Screen Throne?

Will DC Boot  Marvel from the Big Screen Throne?

Brett Ratner has been confirmed as director for X-Men 3. I just thought you’d like to know.

The tide may have turned folks… Can it be that DC has sharpened it’s skills in the TV animation arena and it’s now applying that talent to the big screen? Marvel seems to be overextended… Daredevil (at least the theatrical release) wasn’t that great, Elektra was absolutely murdered by the critics and U.S. audiences stayed away in droves. We have Fantastic Four coming out next month and the buzz is most certainly not positive for that one, despite Avi Arad’s constant cries of “you’ll see, you’ll LOVE it.”

The early reviews for Batman Begins have been excellent overall, and despite the fact that Brandon Routh looks goofy in the Superman suit, Bryan Singer does know how to make a great superhero flick. Joss Whedon is also working on a Wonder Woman adapation and so far his reputation precedes him (positively).

It’ll be interesting to see how things progress between both sides of the superhero battle.

Wonder Woman newcomer?

Wonder Woman newcomer?

The word is that Joel Silver is leaning towards relative newcomer Satu Rautaharju to fill Wonder Woman’s boots. Click on the image to the right for a larger version.

Satu has done some foreign film work and has appeared on a couple of episodes of Dawson’s Creek. I don’t know how she came to Joel Silver’s attention, but at least visually she looks like a good fit for the role. Wonder Woman should look exotic instead of like a WASP. She also looks like she could project the appropriate “superior” attitude which Wonder Woman should have.

Technically WW is still in development heck, but seems to be grinding just a bit forward.

For more photos of Satu Rautaharju and an interview with a co-star from the upcoming Communication Breakdown, click here (FYI, there is some adult language in the video interview).

Thanks to “Mongo”.
