Director Patty Jenkins Responds To Negative WONDER WOMAN Rumors
A recent letter to WB CEO Kevin Tsujihara from an ex-employee has made fans of Patty Jenkins' Wonder Woman worried about the film being a mess. Now, Jenkins has taken to Twitter to address the rumors.
If you haven't read it already, there is a letter from a supposed ex-Warner Bros. employee that has caught a bit of media attention, and in that letter, the employee addresses Warner Bros. studio CEO Kevin Tsujihara. Not only does the employee criticize Tsujihara and his decisions with the recent DC films Batman v Superman and Suicide Squad, but they also go on to reveal that through their inside sources, Patty Jenkins' Wonder Woman is a "mess."
The letter has caused quite a bit of a stir amongst the fans of the DC Film Universe, who feel that Jenkins' Wonder Woman might truly be the first well-received DC Universe film by critics and fans, so much so that now director Patty Jenkins has felt the need to respond.
Jenkins took to her Twitter account, saying, "Woah, just saw this press about WW having problems. Are they serious? This is some made up bs right here. Made up! Produce a source, anyone. You can’t because it’s entirely false. Don’t believe the hype people. Someone’s trying to spread some serious misinfo. Isn’t until you are intimately involved in these things that you realize how totally false these rumors can. Let me reassure you... Zero about the movie we are making has been called a mess by anyone in the know. Fact. Real lasso of truth, time, will reveal that letter to be false soon enough. But lame something so transparent in its agenda gets traction."
At this point, it depends on whom you choose to believe as to whether or not Patty Jenkins' Wonder Woman is a mess. For now, all we can do is wait. What do you think about Patty Jenkins' response to the recent negative rumors?
