Nicholas Winding Refn Says He Was "Born To Make" Wonder Woman

Who is his guy again?

:P

This seems vaguely familiar -_-

@Bmanhall well its fap fap fap fap fap hes thinking off. why not let him do something whit ww we need to see more of her. and when she eventually makes it into jl movie

True dat Trudy

This guy doesnt seem to know the first thing about the character. He bases his knowledge off the 70s TV show, and wants Christina Hendricks to play her. She's hot as hell and a great actress, but she's no Wonder Woman. In the same way that Jon Hamm is a great actor but is not the type for, let's say Spiderman.

And he was 'Born to make this film'? Seems a bit pretentious to me. How can you be born to make a film about a character you only know in essence but have never read any of the original stories about?
Hell I've never read Wonder Woman but even I know there's a big difference between the comics and the TV show!

It's admirable that he is passionate about directing a film about a strong lead woman who isnt over-sexualized but is simply a hero. It's great he wants to make a film that could inspire his daughter to grow into a strong woman. But to take a property as iconic as WW and probably [frick] it up due to a lack of actual knowledge about it, and probably piss off millions of her fans (as well as the majority of the DC readership, who've been skrewed over multiple times by shoddy films such as Batman & Robin, Superman Returns and Green Lantern) seems like a stupid idea.

He should just make an original film. In fact, enough film-makers have had the opportunity to write comics (Like Joss Whedon) so why not write a mini-series about an original female superhero for a company like Image or Dark Horse?

Or does he just have a WW fetish?

that's funny cause i was born to do the actress who plays wonderwomen if you know what i mean

@ror you said it! worriers GO SEE VALHALLA RISING...or Bronson...(maybe the Pusher trilogy)....and tell me you don't want to see him helm this. i can't wait for Drive, and hope Logan's Run does good just so he can take a crack at this. a lot of folks don't want to give the right director's the right credit (writers too of course) but you know it's why movies like Batman Begins are better than Ghost Rider. regarding casting, i think Hendricks is overhyped, but lovely, however if there's one thing Nolan and Ledger taught me, it's have some faith and wait & see

... hm.

Well I've recently seen Bronson. I haven't seen any other movies of his I don't think, but all in all the movie was absolutely great.

BUT.... I don't think his style is on a large enough scale for a WW movie.

So... if it works, let him. If not... that would suck.

ACira i appreciate your points and concerns, but where i think he'll succeed is treating her like the last great untapped ICON of comics. Superman is elevated to the point of symbology and mythology, unlike iron man or green lantern, and Wonder Woman is that level too. i think that is what Refn will continue to do while staking new territory as well. elevate and perpetuate the power. also, on a minor note, Brannaugh wasn't a Thor buff nor was Favreau on Iron Man much, but you know everyone is going to do their hardcore research. nicholas cage has a ghost rider tattoo and son named kal-el and that man is walking garbage to the super heror (and film) world in my eyes. in these situations, heart in the right place loses to the thought into the art

Who tha hell is this guy?

So he doesn't read the books?

He's just a big fan of Wonder Woman and her sexy looks which is why he wants to make and direct a WW movie?

Um... I wouldn't trust this pervert director.

@Ror
He'll do a good job, and I know what you mean VR was great, but he just sounds so desperate almost with a child like desperation to get a shot at it.

Although I like Christina Hendricks, she's not right for the part. WW needs to be done, but treated with respect and integrity, she isn't your run of the mill heroine. In my opinion, a live action WW film has taken way too long.

I'd say let Zack Snyder do it but....hes busy.

Sooooo..I guess he really wants to make Wonder Woman. I say let him do it just as long as he reads more comics and catch up on the mythos> He should probably look back at the old school Clash of the Titans films and Cleopatra movie to get a feel for the Epic scale.

Refn, ok. Hendricks, no way.

I like the enthusiasm of this guy ! okay, now I'm getting interested about a wonder woman movie. Well, make it happen DC !!!

is anyone listening....GINA CARANO!
