Let's hope so

Here's an article discussing actress Megan Gale's screen test as Wonder Woman. I don't know much about her. She is 5'9" so that's a good thing. Wonder Woman should be on the taller side.

I hope this turns out well. It's a very ambitious movie to make.

Wonder if the movie will still be called "Justice League: Mortal."

Wonder Woman trailer!

This post relates to: Wonder Woman

Coming 2009

DC Comics senior VP for creative affairs, Gregory Noveck, is moderating a panel of both the production staff and creative talent behind some of DC's recent animation features to discuss the past and future of DC animation. Others on the panel include Paul Levitz, president of DC, Bruce Timm, executive producer, Lauren Montgomery, director and voice director Andrea Romano and Nathan Fillion.

All three of DC's recent releases - Superman Doomsday, Justice League: The New Frontier and Batman Gotham Knight - have been very successful. They provide an excellent start to DC's animated division, ensuring that there will be many future projects.

Wonder Woman is coming in February 2009 to DVD!

Saturday morning cartoons force a limited amount of story telling due to the restrictions of advertising commitments. The crew on JLU and Batman, particularly Bruce Timm, did a great job but the DVD format lets stories be told that appeal to a more adult market without outside, artificial restrictions like scheduling commercial breaks.

The DVD format allows for more stylized story telling and art. This led naturally to Gotham Knights.

There are several projects in the pipeline that can't be revealed yet.

For Wonder Woman, Nathan Fillion will be voicing Steve Trevor. Alfred Molina is also part of the cast.

A special two-disc with 128 minutes of extra content will be released on November 25 for Superman Doomsday.

Wonder Woman will premier at an upcoming con, to be selected later. The story is by Gail Simmone. This is an original take, true to the feel of the comic character but not based on any prior story.

Molina is Ares and Oliver Platt is Hades. Rosaria Dawson is Hippolites.

Wonder Woman is a strong female character who is able to project dominance and power without trying to be a man. She is muscular and strong but not manly.

There will be multiple releases - single and two disc special Blue Ray version.

Sorry for the quality but that is all there is, this trailer was released at6 the SDCC yesterday... so better trailers may come in time...

now for the following news that was also released at the SDCC...

There are more Batman DVDs planned. Nightfall is not on the schedule at this time. When Worlds Collide is under discussion and may be produced.
A Kindom Come, CG project with Alex Ross is under consideration.
A Long Halloween is also under discussion.
DC won't do a project until it can be done right. Time constraints and artistic limitations are factors.
Bruce Timm is interested in doing a Catwoman animated movie and removing the stain of the live action movie.
Teen Titans Judas Contract is a project that is discussed, but fan interest on the forums seems limited.
In order for a project to be okayed, the producers must think that several hundred thousand people will see it in the first few weeks. If there isn't that fan interest to begin with, the project won't move forward.
The current animated movie projects are intentionally being done in different artistic styles.
It easier for the movie makers to get well known actors casted because the producers who make the final decisions are already familiar with the abilities and of the actors. A lot of movie actors like doing voice work since the nature of the work is much easier and less time consuming. These actors are also interested in doing projects that they can show to their children.
It's a possibility to see more JL Unlimited DVDs in the future. It really depends on sales of the current releases.
The current project is an adaptation of an existing comicbook, but they can't reveal just what it is now.
4th World New Gods is under consideration as a series or a DVD.

All sounds pretty cool and the trailer did kick ass... can't wait to see this properly

Nathan Fillion and Wonder Woman at Comic-Con

Added by G~man on July 27, 2008 | |

This post relates to: San Diego Comic-Con, Steve Trevor, Wonder Woman

No, I didn't take this photo

I missed the Wonder Woman panel. I got stuck at another one. Thinking about it, this would've been the better one to have gone to. But this photo was sent to me by my contact from the studio. I think it's funny. I really dig Nathan Fillion as must most of you. So enjoy.

Nathan Fillion (Desperate Housewives, Serenity), star of the upcoming DC Universe animated original movie "Wonder Woman," paused for an impromptu photo with a costumed character Saturday afternoon while cruising the Comic-Con convention floor. Fillion is voicing pilot Steve Trevor for the co-production from DC Comics, Warner Premiere, Warner Home Video and Warner Bros. Animation. "Wonder Women" streets in February 2009 on DVD, Blu-Ray, OnDemand and for download. (photo courtesy of Gary Miereanu/Warner Home Video)

Comic Vine Interviews Mark Bagley!!

Added by G~man on May 31, 2008 | |

This post relates to: Mark Bagley, Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Spider-Man

Back in February I got to speak with Mark Bagley briefly at Wonder-Con in San Francisco. Mark, as you know, is an extremely talented artist and a really nice guy. This past week I finalized our "conversation" about Trinity, Spider-Man, and even Brian Michael Bendis. Mark is currently drawing the front half of Trinity which will be a weekly comic with the first issue landing this coming Wednesday (June 4). He was able to take time out of his busy schedule for us and even sent along some nice penciled images of some upcoming issues.

What is Trinity about?

DC's new weekly series TRINITY explodes in an extra-sized debut issue featuring art by fan-favorite Mark Bagley (Ultimate Spider-Man) and Art Thibert with lead stories and dialogue by Kurt Busiek (SUPERMAN, ASTRO CITY)!

The lead feature explores the unusual bond — and importance — of DC's top three characters, Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman, as a mysterious dream links them together and may prophesy important changes in their trinity!

Check out my blog for the interview and don't forget to pick up issue #1 this week!

Keri Russell is Wonder Woman?!?

Added by G~man on Jan. 14, 2008 | |

This post relates to: Wonder Woman

I like Keri Russell. My wife made me watch all four seasons of Felicity. You may know her from the recent movie Waitress or episodes of Scrubs or Mission Impossible III. That being said, when I heard she was going to be Wonder Woman, I was like "Wha....?!?" Then I heard the rest. She's going to do the voice of Wonder Woman for a direct-to-dvd movie of Wonder Woman. Okay. That will be cool. TV Guide.com reported it:

[Keri Russell] is in advanced talks to voice the title role in Warner Bros' straight-to-DVD animated Wonder Woman feature. The flick, which is slated for release in late '08/early '09, is part of a new line of DVD feature adaptations by Warner Bros. Animation and DC Comics. The first, Superman: Doomsday, hit stores in September and promptly flew off the shelves. Upcoming releases include Justice League: New Frontier (2/26) and Batman: Gotham Knight.

I'm all for the DC movies. Keep 'em coming.
