Whedon wont rush Wonder Woman search
Marilyn Beck and Stacy Jenel Smith from LA daily news talk about Joss Whedon's views on Wonder Woman Casting, and the Serenity DVD. |
 Although names including Sandra Bullock and Jennifer Lopez have been bandied about in recent years to star in the long-anticipated big-screen "Wonder Woman," writer-producer Joss Whedon doubts he'll use a big name for the part. The man who created the TV world of "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" and "Angel," among other accomplishments, tells us he's wrapping up a draft of his "Wonder" script and expects to have it in early next year. But there will be no rushing of the project into production, no insistence on a high-profile actress.
"That was one of my stipulations," he says. "This is Wonder Woman we're talking about here. Those are big booties to fill. You don't do Wonder Woman because someone's schedule has a free block." He adds, "That's not to say I'm against famous people. Some of my best friends are famous people."
First on Whedon's agenda is the Dec. 20 release of his "Serenity" feature on DVD. That's the movie that picks up where his "Firefly" Fox TV series left off - and which fans are hoping will become a franchise. "Firefly," you may recall, was cancelled before it completed a season, but DVD sales of the episodes were so big that the movie got the go-ahead. The special features on the "Serenity" DVD capture the behind-the-scenes drama. "This isn't like a 'how-we-did-the-stunts' feature. There's a real story to the making of the movie," says Whedon.
