Wonder Woman (2017) (1 Viewer)

We'll have to see how Gal Gadot does in the role, but honestly her Mediterranean look is much closer to what an Amazon princess would likely look like than most of the names that were thrown around.

 

[Sam Favate]

Hayley Atwell should have been cast as WW.

Good choice, as is Jaimie Alexander (Thor, Blindspot), but I'm certainly willing to give Gal Gadot the benefit of the doubt and see how it goes.

The brief bits of footage from the Wonder Woman movie in tonight's CW fluff piece on DC's upcoming film slate looked great. I'm far more excited for this than Batman v Superman or Suicide Squad.

 

[Oliver Ravencrest]

Yeah, the Wonder Woman footage did look great.

 

[Sam Favate]

The footage:




It looks good, although the lack of color makes it seem a bit bloodless. But I have every reason to believe Gadot is up to the challenge.

 

[RobertR]

Great looking footage. Makes me look forward to the movie.

 

[Tony Bensley]

In my opinion, the short preview looks great, and I also rather like the premise behind this!


I'll be following this project more closely from here on out!


CHEERS!

More dark, teal-tinted cinematography? For Wonder Woman? Ugh.

I think that has to do with the WW1 setting more than anything.


Someone on blu-ray.com also stated the reasoning behind setting it in WW1 rather than the more familiar WW2, which I found interesting:


"Basically, WWII is a "good" war in which there is a clear bad guy: the Nazi party and Hitler. WWI is much more murky and there is no clear "good" or "bad" side, it was started by different countries trying to eek out more territory/power. So for Wonder Woman's origin, they can show her being trained to "protect the land of men" and when she sees the Great War (WWI) she goes out to do something about it but decides no side is worth "saving" which is why she then disappears till the modern day."

I'm not sure that the color timing on that footage is necessarily going to be reflective of the final film. It seemed like in the DC promo special, they were trying to keep a certain visual continuity between the footage from all of the movies.

If Snyder's aesthetic is setting the tone for DC's films then I'm sure what we saw is what we'll get.

New Wonder Woman image:

A new image for director Patty Jenkins’ Wonder Woman has been released, featuring the mighty Amazons of the Island of Themyscira.

In the DC Comics, Themyscira is an island hidden from the eyes of men where the Amazons (the ones from the Greek myths) have thrived in harmony for centuries. Sometimes called Paradise Island, it's also the birthplace of one Princess Diana of Themyscira (Gal Gadot), daughter of Queen Hippolyta (Connie Nielsen).

I see the color palette hasn't improved.

Are there no clear skies in the Zack Synder universe? They're on a tropical island, for cryin' out loud!

I really enjoyed Gal Gadot's take on the character in Batman v Superman, a movie that I largely disliked otherwise, and that increased my interest for this film.

On the other hand:

Spoiler: Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice

Batman v Superman basically gives away the ending to this film, and it's a bummer. Whatever happens in 1918, it causes Diana to give up hope and turn her back on humanity for a century.

Well, like they say, it's all about how that comes about.

Also, it's worth noting that they're on record stating that it'll have post-BVS content as well, so maybe it won't fully play out like we think right now.

After seeing Gadot as WW/Diane in BvS, I am now looking forward to the WW movie in 2017.

 

[Lord Dalek]

Am I the only one who thinks this sounds like some half baked Captain America: The First Avenger clone? All they did was remove a roman numeral off the war.

 

[Brandon Conway]

The very nature of WWI being a war of escalation, and not one of good vs. evil like WWII, will make allow it to play out very differently.

 

[Brandon Conway]

Also, no surprise once Transformers 5 got announced for 6/23/17 - Wonder Woman just got moved up slightly to 6/2/17

 

[Sam Favate]

EW has new pictures from next year's movie. Gal Gadot certainly looks the part.
