Why does WONDER WOMAN take so long?
DC Comics President Paul Levitz has the answer! He also talks about "Wonder Woman"-, "Veronica Mars"-, "The Matrix"- and "Die Hard"-producer Joel Silver! |
Paul Levitz on Upcoming DC Comics Movies

At the press junket for Superman Returns, DC Comics President Paul Levitz updated Superhero Hype! on some of the movie projects in the works based on DC Comics properties, as well as offering some thoughts about how they've developed.
 On how Joss Whedon's Wonder Woman movie is developing:
"It's coming along. Supposedly, Joss is turning a script in any moment now. I can't emphasize enough how normal it is for these projects to take forever. The gap between signing the project for Superman 1 and the film coming out was six years. The gap between signing the contract that led to the first Tim Burton Batman movie was nine and a half years. The gap between the last, if you will, cycle of Batman films and Batman Begins was nine years I think. It's been about nine or 10 years since we got the Superman film rights back to Warner Brothers before we got this one going. An it's not just us. For whatever reason, Spider-Man was the worst mess we'd ever seen in terms of the business maneuvers it took to get it done. By their nature, these are big and complex things to put together. You don't build them fast."
On Joel Silver being a strange choice for a movie about female empowerment:
"I think Joel has a great sensibility for action movies. He's one of the extraordinary marketers of the movie business, and part of what you want to do in any film like our stuff is you want a producer who can bring a real marketing sensibility to it. Joel loves comics. He's been a passionate advocate of comic book projects that I'm aware of for over 20 years, since he was signed on for Watchmen in the mid '80s, so I think it comes out of his desire to do it."
