Wonder Woman
Joss Whedon told Entertainment Weekly in this article: why he didn't do panels at the San Diego Comic Con: "I couldn't stand the idea of one more person asking me who was going to play Wonder Woman. I in no way want this to be a slam on Warner Brothers, but the fact of the matter is, it was a waste of my time. We never [wanted] to make the same movie; none of us knew that. And it was a waste of their time because I had a lot of trouble writing, not just writing that, but writing at all. Part of it had to do with having just finished 'Serenity'. I ran into James Gunn, who'd just done his first film, Slither. And he was like, 'The director in me killed the writer in me.' And we fell on each other. It was like finding a support group. After you direct and edit something, you just realize everything is negotiable. The line that you died for, you pull without hesitation because [the script] seems a little long. He was like, 'Every time I sit down to write I think, Is this even going to make it in?' And you can't write like that." On another subject Sci Fi Wire reports a "solid chance" that Whedon will produce a 90-minute BBC TV film highlighting the character of Rupert "Ripper" Giles (Anthony Stewart Head), according to novelist Suzanne Brockmann, one of five winners of an auction for a private dinner with Whedon at Comic-Con. Brockmann was one of five people who paid winning bids of between $9,400 and $11,100 per seat for dinner with Whedon, which benefited Whedon's pet charity, Equality Now, which advocates for women's rights around the world. Her account was posted on her official Web site.
