WB Seeing Another Woman
Warner Brothers is in the process of acquiring a spec script for a Wonder Woman film by newcomers Matthew Jennison and Brent Strickland, despite already having a deal with Buffy the Vampire Slayer creator Joss Whedon to write and direct a film based on the DC Comics character, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
Sources told the trade paper that the purchase is a pre-emptive measure intended to keep the script off the market and to protect itself against any legal action prompted by similarities between the two scripts. The Jennison-Strickland script is reportedly set against the backdrop of World War II, while Whedon's script is set in the present day.
Producer Joel Silver, who is overseeing the project at Warner Brothers, has no interest in making a period Wonder Woman, sources said. But executives at the studio were impressed by Jennison and Strickland's writing. Representatives for Warner Brothers and Silver Pictures declined comment.
maybe after whedons wonder woman bombs, they'll get smart, and cast CC in this script, and give the fans of Wonder Woman what they wanrt.
OR, maybe the executives really don't like whedon's script, and they want a fallback.
