WONDER WOMAN Director Patty Jenkins Reveals The One Scene From The Movie That She Reshot
Despite the usual rumors of extensive reshoots, Wonder Woman director Patty Jenkins has now revealed the only scene she actually went back and filmed once principal photography had finished up...
Despite reports to the contrary, there was only one scene reshot for Wonder Woman after Patty Jenkins wrapped production back in 2015, and during a new interview with THR the director outlined what that sequence entailed.
In the finished film, as Diana, Steve Trevor and co. approach No Man's Land, the Amazon warrior notices horses being mistreated and soldiers suffering after being wounded in battle and attempts to help them. Steve hurries her on, but once they reach the trenches the iconic DC heroine won't be dissuaded.
However, this scene originally played out differently:
“I wanted to ramp that tension as much as possible, and unfortunately, we didn’t have it. That scene was just a slightly tense scene of them walking. I was like ‘I need her to see some brutality.’ So, we added her seeing the horses being whipped. It was actually something that had been in the script originally.”
Jenkins goes on to clarify that this one small tweak aside, "what you saw is exactly the movie that we were always making.”
Wonder Woman in now in theaters, and looks set to continue its box office dominance well into June.
