The 'Wonder Woman' is just another of those comic book-inspired feature films that seem to gestate for years and years, for which people wait patiently but that make it to the big screen only after many changes and when all hope is gone. Some of them don't even make it that far, dying in some dusty shelf before going into production and lingering in people's minds only as something beautiful that could have happened but never did.

The remake of the story of 'America's most iconic heroine', Wonder Woman, has been talked about since early 2005. At about that time, Warner Bros. announced its plans for a feature film and, seeing the huge success other movies of this type had, it is no wonder that everybody was thrilled to finally see Wonder Woman on the big screen. Later that same year, the studio stated that Josh Whedon, the creator of the hit 'Buffy, The Vampire Slayer' series and its spin-offs, has already been attached to the project as its director.

Yesterday, Whedon posted a couple of messages on his fansites, announcing that he had dropped out of the project. The reason for the sudden change of heart? Why, 'creative divergences', what else could it have been? 'I had a take on the film that, well, nobody liked. We just saw different movies, and at the price range this kind of movie hangs in, that's never gonna work. Non-sympatico. It happens all the time.', the director and writer wrote in his post.

Apparently, Whedon blames the creative differences on the fact that he wanted to create a movie unlike the rest of its kind, while the studio thought 'Wonder Woman' would be in such a way written as to ensure a box-office hit from day one. 'Everybody knows how long I was taking, what a struggle that script was, and though I felt good about what I was coming up with, it was never gonna be a simple slam-dunk. I like to think it rolled around the rim a little bit, but others may have differing views.', the 'Buffy' creator explains.

However, the movie will probably still be made or, at least, that's what Warner is trying to state. A spokesperson for the studio confirmed Whedon's departure but assured the fans that someone will still handle the project and that it will still hit the big screen sometime in the future. Although, until now, various actresses have been attached to it (from Buffy, Sarah Michelle Gellar and Charisma Carpenter, who also starred in the series), 'Wonder Woman' still has no lady for the leading part.

Looks like we have ourselves another case of 'Indiana Jones 4'. For more on 'Wonder Woman' stay tuned here.
