It seems it has become an unwelcomed trend in the media regarding films from the DC Comics cinematic universe. The latest comes from the fuss surrounding the next standalone film Wonder Woman. After the mishap of Batman v Superman and not so critically favoured Suicide Squad, no matter how much the film has made in the box office, more and more people are starting to worry about every single Warner Bros’ DC ventures that is yet to come out.
Patty Jenkins, director of Wonder Woman, took to social media to express her thoughts over the so-called disgruntled, former Warner Bros employee who started the rumours. Recently, there was an anonymous letter to Warner Bros CEO Kevin Tsujihara that was published on Pajiba this past Friday. The writer of the letter discusses how he thought the studio had made a seires of mistakes leading to the 2014 layoffs regarding employees. The writer continued with very harsh words for Justice League director Zack Snyder, blaming him for the divided and unsuccessful responses to Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. In turn, claiming that Snyder’s work cost people their jobs.
The letter reads, “What are you even doing? I wish to God you were forced to live out of a car until you made a #1 movie of the year. Maybe Wonder Woman wouldn’t be such a mess. Don’t try to hide behind the great trailer. People inside are already confirming it’s another mess. It is almost impressive how you keep rewarding the same producers and executives for making the same mistakes, over and over.”
After reading these words, director Patty Jenkins went on a slight Twitter rant saying, “Whoa just saw this press about WW having problems. Are they serious? This is some made up bs right here. Made up! Produce a source, anyone.” She continued, “You can’t because it’s entirely false. Don’t believe the hype people. Someone’s trying to spread some serious misnifo.” The Tweets continued as Jenkins expressed her frustration, “Let me reassure you…Zero about the movie we are making has been called a mess by anyone in the know. Fact. Real lasso of truth, time, will reveal that letter to be false soon enough. But lame something so transparent in its agenda gets traction.”
The letter was revealed after a week of the opening weekend for Suicide Squad. Even though the critics did not love the movie, it is expected to fly past the $400 million mark when this weekend comes to an end. Wonder Woman hits theatres on June 2, 2017, and just as Jenkins said, only time will tell if the film follows the unfortunate mess of Suicide Squad and Batman v Superman. We can only hope for the best.
