Joss Whedon off Wonder Woman
(So to speak.)
It’s true: Joss is no longer working on the WW project:
Okay, stay calm and I’ll explain as best I can. It’s pretty complicated, so bear with me. I had a take on the film that, well, nobody liked. Hey, not that complicated.
Let me stress first that everybody at the studio and Silver Pictures were cool and professional. We just saw different movies, and at the price range this kind of movie hangs in, that’s never gonna work. Non-sympatico. It happens all the time. I don’t think any of us expected it to this time, but it did. Everybody knows how long I was taking, what a struggle that script was, and though I felt good about what I was coming up with, it was never gonna be a simple slam-dunk. I like to think it rolled around the rim a little bit, but others may have differing views.
Given how long the script was taking, I think this was kind of inevitable. But hey, now the project can be handed off to Joe Eszterhas!

Well that’s disappointing. I wonder who they’ll get to replace him.

Ugh, was excited when Whedon came aboard. At least with him, I knew it wasn’t going to be a bimbo type of movie like Barb Wire was. Now, who knows?
