Wonder Woman 1984 Will Be HBO Max’s First Venture Into 4K

Wonder Woman 1984 Will Be HBO Max’s First Venture Into 4K

, , , , , , 0

I’m hardly the first one to say it, but it’s mightily weird that nothing on HBO Max supports 4K, HDR or any of the more modern media technologies. That may soon change, however. Director Patty Jenkins made an announcement on her Twitter account this morning: her Wonder Woman 1984 will be streamable in all kinds of fancy formats when it goes live Christmas Day, and most of them are new to the channel. The list of support includes 4K Ultra HD, HDR 10, Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos. Dolby Vision is a fancier version of HDR, and Dolby Atmos is about as “surround” as surround sound currently gets with support for speakers both above and below the viewer. Warner Bros. made the decision to allow Wonder Woman 1984 to stream on HBO Max last month, as the coronavirus situation was getting worse, not better, and it’s very unlikely anyone will be able to make it to a theater this month (as far as we know, its theatrical debut is still

Wonder Woman Director Patty Jenkins Confirms Third Movie, Amazon Spinoff

Wonder Woman Director Patty Jenkins Confirms Third Movie, Amazon Spinoff

The UK magazine Total Film recently interviewed Patty Jenkins, director of the first Wonder Woman as well as the upcoming sequel, and they managed to get this out of her: she and WB are already pre-planning Wonder Woman 3, and that’s not all. A spinoff is also in the works, centered around the Amazon family that Diana originated from. As established in Movie #1 as well as decades of comic book lore, the hidden island of Themascyra is home to a race of immortal female warriors closely connected to Greek gods, who usually live their lives in peace but tirelessly train to defend themselves should a threat arise. Here’s the interesting thing: Jenkins will not be directing the spinoff. “I’m not going to direct it, hopefully. I’m going to try really hard not to. It’s not going to be easy.” she told the magazine (CBR reprinted the quote). “Geoff Johns and I came up with the story, and we sold the pitch, and we’re going to get it going. I’ll

Wonder Woman is the unequivocal shining star of the DC Comics Film Universe…so far. And naturally, people are excited for Wonder Woman 2, which will arrive November 1st of next year. There’s already been a lot of speculation as to what the film will and won’t be, including the villainess who might be coming in. But now, director Patty Jenkins has revealed that Cheetah will indeed be in the film, and she’ll be portrayed by Kristen Wiig. Wiig has been rumored for the role for a while now, so to get confirmation is very welcome, and from Patty Jenkins herself no less! On a comics level, Cheetah is one of Wonder Woman’s most recognizable villains, and has been used in many animated series in the past because of that. Seeing her in live-action will be a first (although she was teased on an episode of Flash), so it’ll be interesting to see how she’s portrayed. Here’s hoping it won’t be CGI. Here’s the full tweet from Patty Jenkins. So excited

Fans Petition Golden Globes Due To Wonder Woman Director Snub

Fans Petition Golden Globes Due To Wonder Woman Director Snub

Superhero movies have a certain bias against them when it comes to awards ceremonies, for more often than not, they’re not nominated for any “meaningful” awards. It’s true that Heath Ledger won an award for his role as Joker in The Dark Knight, but many believe that was a sympathy win because of his death that happened before the film released. Suicide Squad won for “best makeup and costumes”, but that’s not exactly a “major” Oscar. However, there was hope with Wonder Woman, maybe not to win Best Picture, but for at least director Patty Jenkins to get a nomination. Sadly, that didn’t happen with the Golden Globes. Their nominations were revealed recently, and all were shocked when no female directors were nominated despite several powerful and critically acclaimed films came from female directors. This includes Wonder Woman, Detroit, Lady Bird and Mudbound. Patty Jenkins (#WonderWoman 92% ?) Dee Rees (#Mudbound 97% ?) Greta Gerwig (#LadyBird 99% ?) Kathryn Bigelow (#Detroit 83% ?) None were nominated for a #GoldenGlobe https://t.co/AoM4Iq3Ra5

Wonder Woman is a mega-hit at the box office. It had the biggest opening for a female-directed film, and has had the lowest dropoffs in comic book film history in its second and third weeks. It’s already passed 500 million earned worldwide and it doesn’t look like it’s going to stop earning any time soon. Yet, despite all of this, there has been conflicting reports about whether Director Patty Jenkins, who was a big reason this film was a big success, would return. One said she was, the other said she wasn’t but was in negotiations. So which is true? Well, Variety decided to ask DC’s Chief Creative Officer Geoff Johns this very question, and he responded swiftly: “Patty and I are writing the treatment right now,” said Johns. “The goal is to make another great Wonder Woman film. I had a blast making it with Patty the first time. We’ve got a cool idea for the second one.” This is good, as Jenkin’s passion to make a great Wonder Woman film

Key Wonder Woman Scene Almost Didn’t Happen

Key Wonder Woman Scene Almost Didn’t Happen

Wonder Woman had a $103 million dollar debut at the box office this past weekend, and fans are still raving about what the film had. Key among the story were several scenes that showed why Diana of Themyscira is a beautiful soul (inside and out) and a formidable warrior. The film had plenty of action scenes for sure, but a key one almost wasn’t put in. Director Patty Jenkins revealed to Fandango that the soon-to-be legendary No Man’s Land scene where Wonder Woman took trench warfare to new heights was also left out, even though it’s one of the most powerful scenes in the movie. So why did it almost get cut? “It’s also the scene that made the least sense to other people going in, which is why it’s a wonderful victory for me,” Jenkins said. “I think that in superhero movies, they fight other people, they fight villains. So when I started to really hunker in on the significance of No Man’s Land, there were a couple people who

The upcoming Wonder Woman film is one of the most anticipated superhero films in recent memory. Not the least of which is because this is the first female-led film since the DCEU and MCU arrived, which is saying something. But there’s a lot of pressure to get this film right, and no one knows that more than director Patty Jenkins. For her, Wonder Woman is meant to be the true symbol of hope and heroism, or at least, for a time, as we see in BVS she’s become more detached from the world of man. But in her solo movie, she’s the bright symbol of what it means to be a hero. In an interview with IGN, she reveals that the biggest inspiration for her was the original Superman film in 1978. “Right before I came on to do this I watched it again with my son who was 6 at the time,” Jenkins tells me. “I was so stunned. It completely bolstered my plans to do this by watching it
