Over 70 Years Since Her Debut - Production Begins on WONDER WOMAN Film

First Teaser Photo from The Wonder Woman Feature Film 

In a time where Superhero films are largely dominated by male leads, one woman rises to claim the long awaited & much coveted feature for a female led super hero movie, or should I say super heroine?

BURBANK, CA, November 21, 2015 – Principal photography is underway on Warner Bros. Pictures’ Wonder Woman feature film, the highly anticipated action adventure from director Patty Jenkins (“Monster,” AMC’s “The Killing”), starring Gal Gadot ❤️❤️❤️ (the “Fast & Furious” movies) in the role of Diana Prince/Wonder Woman. The character will make her big screen debut this spring in “Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice,” but the new film will mark her first time headlining a feature; over seventy years since her debut in All Star Comics #8 which was came out in December 1941. 

Aside from being a heroine fighting for justice, love and peace, over the years Wonder Woman has also become a symbol of gender equality, often being the face and name for equality movements. Did you also know that Wonder Woman has her own make-up collection with MAC? (As a girl, I feel it is important to mention this). It came out in a 2011 Spring Collection & features a vintage Wonder Woman look, inspired from the comics. 

Gal Gadot is a Wonder Woman herself; in 2004 she won the Miss Israeli title and went on to represent her country at the 2004 Miss Universe Beauty pageant. She served for two years as a soldier in the Israeli forces and is a fan of motorcycles & owns a black 2006 Ducati Monster - S2R. Moviegoers may know her as Giselle in 'The Fast & Furious' movies.

The Wonder Woman feature film also stars Chris Pine (the “Star Trek” films) as Captain Steve Trevor, Robin Wright (“The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo”), Danny Huston (“Clash of the Titans,” “X-Men Origins: Wolverine”), David Thewlis (the “Harry Potter” films), Ewen Bremner (“Exodus: Gods and Kings”), Saïd Taghmaoui (“American Hustle”), Elena Anaya (“The Skin I Live In”) and Lucy Davis (“Shaun of the Dead”).

The film is being produced by Charles Roven, Zack Snyder and Deborah Snyder, with Richard Suckle, Stephen Jones, Wesley Coller, Geoff Johns and Rebecca Roven serving as executive producers.

Joining Jenkins behind the camera are director of photography Matthew Jensen (“Chronicle,” “Fantastic Four,” HBO’s “Game of Thrones”), Oscar-nominated production designer Aline Bonetto (“Amélie,” “A Very Long Engagement,” “Pan”), and Oscar-winning editor Martin Walsh (“Chicago,” “Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit,” “V for Vendetta”), and Oscar-winning costume designer Lindy Hemming (“The Dark Knight” trilogy, “Topsy-Turvy”).

Principal photography will take place on location in the UK, France and Italy.

Set to open in 2017, the Wonder Woman feature film is based on characters created by William Moulton Marston, appearing in comic books published by DC Entertainment. It will be distributed worldwide by Warner Bros. Pictures, a Warner Bros. Entertainment Company.
