Wonder Woman has been on the drawing board over at DC Comics HQ, for either a full featured movie or TV show for quite some time now. What is taking them so long to bringing the Amazon lady to life in this current time? They simply do not know how to do it, and I do not blame them, because I honestly could not figure out how they could make her work on the big screen. If you really thing about it, she is quite a cheesy character, and it would be hard to really make her work with her own movie or TV show. Hell, they had a TV show coming to NBC last year, but scrapped it after they shot the pilot episode because it just did not work. With the Justice League movie slated for 2017, DC needs to get to work quickly on bringing her alive. Well DC…reference this video below, or hire the director.
The video below is a short fan film from Rainfall Films, and director Sam Balcomb. He nails it right here my friends, and DC really should take notes here. He brings a 300 like style to it, and I never really thought about it going that direction. Here is what Sam had to say about his film:
Firstly, thanks for watching. Whether you like, or dislike, our live action interpretation of Diana of Themyscira, Wonder Woman, born of clay, I think (quite a few of) you will agree she is a character just as vital and crucial to our understanding of humanity as any other superhero… if not more so.
We spent the majority of 2013 working on this — the look, the feel, the aspects we most wanted to portray. It’s a scant two and half minutes, but in the end, it’s one hundred and fifty seconds of pure fantasy, where I get to consider the two sides of my favorite warrior: a crusader in man’s world, and a paragon of virtue told through Greek mythology.
It’s a fun world to hang out in. I hope you enjoy it.
The man knows his Wonder Woman, and if you have not checked it out, enjoy yourself. Let me know what you think of it.
