Link Tank: Wonder Woman Director Patty Jenkins Thinks Streaming Movies Look Fake

New DVD release, , , , , ,
Wonder Woman director Patty Jenkins has some choice words to describe movies that go straight to streaming. “Patty Jenkins is still very unhappy about how the release of Wonder Woman 1984 played out. Her second Wonder Woman movie came out in theaters and HBO Max simultaneously as part of Warner Bros.’ pandemic release deal with the streaming platform, and it failed to get as much attention as the first flick. We previously reported that the director had referred to the hybrid rollout as ‘heartbreaking’ and ‘the best choice of a bunch of very bad choices’ at CinemaCon.” Read more at…

Wonder Woman 1984 Star Connie Nielsen Defends Patty Jenkins’ Vision

New DVD release, , , , , ,
After premiering on HBO Max and in limited theaters last December for a month-long run, Wonder Woman 1984 arrives this week on DVD and Blu-ray (both standard and 4K). The highly-anticipated sequel to 2017’s groundbreaking Wonder Woman–once again directed by Patty Jenkins and starring Gal Gadot and Chris Pine–turned out to be a surprisingly polarizing release, especially given the good will built up by the mostly outstanding and widely praised first movie. Those on the pro side enjoyed the new movie’s message of compassion and hope, especially in a year ravaged by the pandemic, and also found a lot to…

How Patty Jenkins Steered the Wonder Woman 1984 Ship

New DVD release, , , ,
If you ask the cast of Wonder Woman 1984 pretty much any question about the film, they will find a way to gush about how much they love working with Patty Jenkins. Did Pedro Pascal bring any of his past characters into his new role as Max Lord? No, but it took a new level of vulnerability that Patty supported him through. Has Kristin Wiig always wanted to play a villain? Yes, and almost no one has asked her—except for Patty, apparently.  “[Patty is] like a Japanese sword,” says Wonder Woman 1984 star and producer Gal Gadot to Den of…

Patty Jenkins Calls Star Wars: Rogue Squadron ‘The Greatest Fighter Pilot Movie of All Time’

New DVD release, , , , , ,
When folks think of Star Wars, their minds tend to the lightsabers or the blaster pistols: big laser sword fights or shootouts with Stormtroopers. But what is overlooked, at least by some, is just how thrilling the old school dog fights were between ace fighter pilots and daring bombers in the original Star Wars trilogy. It’s safe to Patty Jenkins is not one of those people, and she’s going to prove it with Star Wars: Rogue Squadron, the first movie all about the aerial combat in that galaxy far, far away. Revealed late during Disney’s Investor Day Thursday evening, Star…

Gal Gadot Will Play Cleopatra in Patty Jenkins Movie

New DVD release, , , ,
Patty Jenkins and Gal Gadot’s Wonder Woman 1984 has yet to reach theaters, but the director-star team has already found their next project: a modern Hollywood epic about the life and times of Egyptian Queen Cleopatra VII Philopator, the final pharaoh of the Ptolemy line and in ancient Egyptian history. As broken by Deadline, Gadot and Jenkins auctioned the new Cleopatra movie off to Paramount Pictures in a package that includes a screenplay to be written by Laeta Kalogridis. Additionally, Charles Roven, who was a producer on Wonder Woman, is attached via Atlas Entertainment. This is a major casting coup…

Wonder Woman 1984: Patty Jenkins Still Committed to Coming to Movie Theaters

New DVD release, , , , , ,
There was a lot to enjoy during the Wonder Woman 1984 DC FanDome panel. While the event itself was nothing short of a lovefest between the talent and fans, it was genuinely exciting when Kristen Wiig got to virtually meet her childhood idol Lynda Carter during the festivities. And the new Wonder Woman 1984 trailer is a definite showstopper too, complete with the reveal of Wiig’s villainous Cheetah. And yet, perhaps the most compelling moment in the whole conversation occurred at the very top when director Patty Jenkins reconfirmed she is determined to see Wonder Woman 1984 open in movie…

Patty Jenkins Reflects on Dodging Thor: The Dark World Bullet

New DVD release, , , , ,
Patty Jenkins is one of the most exciting filmmakers working in superhero blockbusters at the moment. After helming Wonder Woman (2017), her and Gal Gadot’s follow-up, Wonder Woman 1984, became an instant must-see. It’s all the more impressive considering her past brush with the superhero genre… and how she avoided directing what is widely considered one of the worst Marvel Studios movies, Thor: The Dark World. Previously tapped for that gig in 2011, Jenkins would have been the first woman director to helm a superhero movie for the studio, but it was not to be. Soon dropping out of the…
