No Wonder Woman Movie For A While, Plus More DC Updates

While talking to MTV, Producer Joel Silver revealed that a Wonder Woman movie wasn't on DC Entertainment's radar for the foreseeable future..I guess they want to focus on the important characters like Hawkman first...

When MTV caught up with Silver on the Sherlock Holmes red carpet, he had this to say...

"I'm not really doing anything with Wonder Woman at the moment, Once the studio knows what they want to do, and makes a decision, they'll probably let us know."

The articles not all humbug however, Silver also had updates about Lobo, Sgt Rock and Swamp Thing (sort of!)

Silver confirmed that IF a Swamp Thing movie happens, it will be in 3D..

"Yeah, if we pull it together and if the script works, that's our intention,"



He also indicated that Guy Ritchie's departure from the Sgt Rock movie hasn't impeded plans to bring DC's war hero to theaters. While he wouldn't comment on rumors that the movie would be set in the future rather than its World War II roots, he did sound positive about progress on the film thus far.

"We're working on Sgt Rock now," he said. "There's a real possibility on that. There's a good shot on that one."

And finally, Silver revealed that Lobo would be the next movie he focuses on after The Losers hits theaters..

"I want to try and make Lobo very soon," he said.

Do try dude..do.

The article I swiped the Thor news from had one of Marvels writers in it. He couldn't believe DC hasn't beaten Marvel to the shared universe punch with all DC's characters.
He said something to the effect of, I don't know whats going on with them.LOL

LEEE: Are you a carrot now?

Hawkman won't happen, and I have doubts that Lobo is going to happen, at least anytime soon.

They need to make Superman their number one priority. Then, they can do WW, Flash, and Green Arrow movies, then do Justice League.

Hopefully Green Lantern is going to be the kick in WB's asses that they need to get production on more CBM's started. Hopefully. Right now, this is ridiculous. Lobo, Hawkman, and now Swamp Thing has more movie news than Superman. There is something truly wrong with that.

If Lobo is done right, I could give a rusty if WW takes a backseat.

Can't blame them. i've always just seen WW as the female counter part to Superman. no real reason she should exist beyond that point. i think all of these proporties will make much better MOVIES. but any effort put into a WW movie should just be moved over to make a superman movie.

Disclaimer: I'm 100% a marvel guy with a hint of batman in there so anything i say on DC should be taken from that point of view and with a small grain of salt.

Well, I don't mind that they are doing Lobo and Swamp Thing..I actually prefer those characters personally, but when you look at the big picture, they should be getting the heavy hitters out there asap.

this is why DC needs better "movie" characters. swamp thing???? in 3-d none the less! bland ass boring.

Tea-
If I could make any sense of LEEE's ramblings, it would be that Marvel has much of their important product spread out to different studios rather than their own.

If WB can't figure out how important Wonder Woman is, then they're just stupid and we're in alot of trouble.

Teabag@ Well said.

Marvel is doing the 'shared universe' thing somthing DC will no doubt find themselves doing in the future. but they should go the opposite way of marvel. where marvel is trying to ground their movies in 'reality' DC should step it up and do more cosmic stuff! more fantasy oriented settings and plotlines. the GL movie could help usher that in.

WW is one of DC's flagship superheroes. She's a part of the Trinity. She's a huge component of the Justice League, and fully deserves a shot at the big screen.

Didn't they create DC Entertainment for the purpose of organizing their priorities? (AKA: NOT dropping the ball on their heavy hitters)
StrangerX
StrangerX - 12/22/2009, 3:49 PM
They are being stupid. She needs her own movie before Swamp Thing or Hawkman. It's like they really hate WW or something. I don't get it.
Dmon
Dmon - 12/22/2009, 3:52 PM
I would love to see a WW movie. But I know that DC has a real problem with her bc for decades every writer they get never knows what to do with her maybe thats why the movie is not getting off the ground. But I think with just an origin story it would make a good movie. And have her as part of a JLA movie.
Dmon
Dmon - 12/22/2009, 3:52 PM
Plus her comics dont sell very well. They kind of just keep the comics going bc she is an Icon and so they can say they have comics for girls.

That's not true. Have you read her WW: BLackest Night?

thwhtGuardian
thwhtGuardian - 12/22/2009, 3:56 PM
with the way things are shaping up over a wb I doubt will see a justice league movie anytime soon...unlss it's a league comprised of GL, Batman, hawkman, Swamp Thing, lobo and Jonah Hex...
jazzman
jazzman - 12/22/2009, 3:57 PM
Wonder Woman should be done but Joel Silver should not produce it. WB/DC and Legendary Pictures should produce a Wonder Woman movie.

@LEEE777

i like Lobo but they making the movie a PG-13 that i remember Lobo aint PG-13 character.

Phinehas
Phinehas - 12/22/2009, 3:58 PM
jazzman-
YES!!!
Dmon
Dmon - 12/22/2009, 3:59 PM
No I have not I just read the Blackest Night GL ones. But I am just going off the title with this assumption but it ties into to another DC story arc. They have trouble writing just plain solo stories for her.
OdinsBeard
OdinsBeard - 12/22/2009, 4:00 PM
Jazzman - nice! anothiner thing i love on here: all the photos you guys post! still dont want to see a WW movie tho! hah
DDD
DDD - 12/22/2009, 4:01 PM
Hey, guardian@, I would watch that JL!

COOL!
Dmon
Dmon - 12/22/2009, 4:01 PM
Dont get me wrong I love WW she is my favorite DC female (I am a DC guy) and bought her comic every issue for 10 years in the 90s. But what I say is true just look up what every writer that has writen for her has said
DDD
DDD - 12/22/2009, 4:02 PM
I'd like to watch a WW movie if they picked a really sexy and
fitting actress to play her!

I just picked that up Phinehas, I've been on a WW kick ever since writing my article on her. I love gail's run, some of the best writing I've ever seen. Still not a fan of WW's older stuff but I love her newer stories.

True, I was going to suggest to Dmon to read Simone's work.
Dmon-
I think we went down this road before. And frankly, I'm getting over a bad bout with the flu and have no strength for arguement right now. I still owe explanations on things I said on some Avatar articles.
MarkCassidy
MarkCassidy - 12/22/2009, 4:11 PM
I haven't read too much of her solo stuff..a few Simone issues here and there. But I love her in the team up comics.

WW is a very difficult sell for a studio and a director I think. But if Thor can work, so can WW. They are very similar in origin.
