Warner Bros. Said To Be Eyeing This List Of Female Directors For WONDER WOMAN
It was revealed yesterday that Warner Bros. are hoping to land a female director for their Wonder Woman movie starring Gal Gadot, and now a possible shortlist has emerged which includes names like Kathryn Bigelow (Zero Dark Thirty), Catherine Hardwicke (Twilight) and more!
Forbes claim to have heard that Warner Bros. already have a list of female directors they're hoping will helm Wonder Woman for them in 2017. This list includes Catherine Hardwicke (Twilight), Mimi Leder (Deep Impact), Karyn Kusama (Girlfight), and Julie Taymor, the woman responsible for the disaterous Broadway musical Spider-Man: Turn off the Dark. However, she has found acclaim for her work on The Tempest and others. Also being considered are TV directors Michelle MacLaren (Game of Thrones) and Tricia Brook (The Walking Dead). The site adds that Bigelow, Leder, and Hardwicke, with MacLaren are the main contenders. Academy Award winning director Kathryn Bigelow is of course a fan-favourite choice to helm Wonder Woman, and while the site says that she's in the mix, it appears as if that's based more on speculation than reliable insider information.
Regardless, if true, this isn't a bad start and it will be refreshing to see a female director in charge of a superhero movie (especially one with a female lead). Who do you guys think is the best choice?
