A lot is being said about DC and Warner Bros.' Wonder Woman film, but at the moment, it has yet to be green-lit, according to director Michelle MacLaren. This is not surprising since rumors recently hit the web claiming Warner Bros. ordered its writers to work on six scripts.
In an interview with Vulture, MacLaren made it clear she is unable to talk much about Wonder Woman because the movie is nowhere ready.
"I really, really, really can't talk about this," says MacLaren. "I just picture a drone coming in over the hills and crashing through the glass and flying over here and putting duct tape over my mouth, you know?"
Despite the announcement made by Warner Bros. a while back, the company has yet to give the go-ahead for the film to be made. While this is not surprising, it shows that Warner does not have a definite plan for the future of the DC Cinematic Universe.
Everything the studio is doing right now comes off as very reactionary to Marvel's success. One can only hope that things turn out well for Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice and Suicide Squad.
Who is Michelle MacLaren?
She is the director of the Wonder Woman movie, but despite most folks not knowing who she is, doesn't mean she's a newcomer to the business. Many TV show viewers might not have realized that MacLaren was behind several episodes of The Walking Dead, and Breaking Bad. We should point out that almost all the episodes she directed were given high ratings among critics and viewers alike.
We can't really say at this point if she is the perfect woman for the job since this is her first big break in the movie business, but from what we have seen, we believe she is capable of doing great things. In our minds, if MacLaren creates a terrible Wonder Woman movie, it would be due to her being nervous, and no lack of skills.
Wonder Woman is set for a 2017 release date and is expected to be a central part of the DC Cinematic Universe. The movie is rumored to be set in the 1930s, and will likely venture forward into the future before Superman was a thing.
