Jazz Tangcay Artisans EditorWhen “Wonder Woman” costume designer Lindy Hemming heard that the follow-up to the 2017 box-office hit starring Gal Gadot was going to be set in 1984, her first question was would the costumes fall under period or fantasy?The answer is a simple one, “both,” Hemming says.Below, Hemming breaks down key looks from “Wonder Woman 84” and creating an ’80s wardrobe for Chris Pine, Gal Gadot and Kristen Wiig.In the first film, Diana/Wonder Woman was down and dirty because she was in the trenches. With this, director Patty Jenkins wanted to change the texture and look to give it a glowing ’80s feel.We changed the material of her bodice and made it from urethane which can be molded.

Patty Jenkins recently spilt the beans on the difficult journey she chattered over the decade to bring Wonder Woman. The director appeared on WTF and spoke to the host Marc Maron and spoke about the numerous unexpected turns during the journey.

Wonder Woman director Patty Jenkins slammed the New York Post on Tuesday for an article that discussed the process of bringing the Gal Gadot-starrer to screen.

Patty Jenkins has responded over the body swap controversy with Chris Pine‘s Steve Trevor in Wonder Woman 1984.

Marc Maron’s “WTF” podcast to promote the film’s new hit sequel “WW84,” Jenkins described how studio bigwigs were less interested in her ideas than in the optics of having a woman direct a female-centric superhero flick. “Everybody in the industry wanted to hire me,” said the 49-year-old director, who also helmed the critically acclaimed “Monster,” which won Charlize Theron the Oscar for Best Actress in 2004.

Wonder Woman 1984 director Patty Jenkins has discussed the “internal war” she faced with Warner Bros over the new DC film.Speaking on Marc Maron’s WTF podcast, Jenkins alleged that Warner were more interested in the symbol of having a woman direct a superhero film than her actual ideas.“They wanted to hire me like a beard,” she told Maron. “They wanted me to walk around on set as a woman, but it was their story and their vision.“And my ideas? They didn’t even want to read my script.

For the unversed, before Patty Jenkins made us fall head over heels in adoration, once again, with Wonder Woman, the acclaimed filmmaker was set to direct Thor: The Dark World. However, because of creative differences, Jenkins opted out of the MCU (Marvel Cinematic Universe) movie and Alan Taylor ended up directing Thor 2, which opened to a poor reaction.

Wonder Woman 1984 is hitting some snags.

The first weekend of the year, which at its apex in 2016 grossed $219.5M off the heat of Disney’s Star Wars: The Force Awakens, registered under an estimated $13M for the entire weekend in a continued decimated exhibition marketplace that’s praying to reopen in 2021. Warner Bros.’ theatrical release of Wonder Woman 1984, which is also available on HBO Max for the next 21 days, grossed $5.5M, -67% for a running domestic B.O. of $28.5M.

Wonder Woman 1984 director Patty Jenkins has spoken of the challenge of making a Star Wars film, saying you could “never” make a successful film in a single year.Last month, it was confirmed that Jenkins will be making a new Star Wars movie called Rogue Squadron, which is billed to reach cinemas on Christmas Day 2023.“You can never do it in one year,” Jenkins told Collider. “You could never do a good Star Wars movie in one year or a good Cleopatra in one year.

She talked to me about it.

If you’re like me, you probably explain your love of the first “Wonder Woman” film by saying you really like the first two-thirds but hate the last act. That’s because the first two acts are a fun, emotional adventure through WWI-torn Europe as Diana Prince and Steve Trevor fight bad guys and acclimate to this changing world.

It’s historically been a week when we’re reporting on Star Wars movies doing a daily box office average of $20M, but in this distressed Covid environment where 60% of all U.S./Canada theaters are closed, we have only to highlight that Warner Bros.’ Wonder Woman 1984 did an estimated $22.5M in its first week. Eeesh. Now these numbers do not come from Warners as they’re not reporting until Sunday, rather box office sources with their ears to the ground.

The Patty Jenkins-directed DC sequel has grossed more than $100M worldwide according to Warner Bros.

Chris Pine has ventured into the world of “Star Trek” as Captain Kirk in the most recent film reboot franchise. He’s also shown up in two “Wonder Woman” films.

Patty Jenkins may now be known as the filmmaker that has brought “Wonder Woman” to the big screen, but before that, her only other feature film as a director is “Monster” from way back in 2003. So, needless to say, her IMDB (outside of TV gigs) isn’t littered with a lot of feature film experience.
