Bad news Browncoats! Last week Joss Whedon pulled himself from the Wonder Woman film project. He was both the writer and director.
Whedon who made his fame with Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel, and Firefly had always cast his female character in a very positive and empowering light. So when the opportunity to write a script for Wonder Woman came his way, it just seemed like a natural fit. However after several months Whedon decided to pull himself from the project.
“I had a take on the film that nobody liked,” said Whedon. Another factor was that he and the film’s producer Joel Silver “just saw different movies.”
Anyone who knows Joss Whedon and his writing style is likely disappointed at this news. At least Joss is keeping busy. He just directed an episode of the hit American TV show The Office for NBC. I saw this Whedon about The Office clip on YouTube and thought fellow Browncoats would enjoy it.
