The path to bringing Wonder Woman back to the big screen, and even the small screen, has been plagued with problems for ages but there’s still a lot of talent that want to be involved. One that’s been talking about it a lot, and getting more questions now that his move Drive is about to hit, is Nicolas Winding Refn. While there’s absolutely nothing formal or even informal about him approaching it, he’s been active in talking about why he’d want to do it and he’s come out with a clear explanation as to what got him into the character and what he has the drive to see it as a movie.
“I think my whole fetish and my interest in Wonder Woman came from three or four years ago,” Refn said. “My daughter got obsessed with the Wonder Woman television show. The old, ’70s version. I would watch them back to back with her and really enjoyed them immensely. And I’ve always been fascinated by her as a character. I’m not a knowledgeable comic fanatic, as a lot of other people are. But I was very fascinated by a woman of power. And I couldn’t come [up] with any other great role models for my daughter to, say, ‘That’s a woman.’ Besides her mother. So I started getting wholly, completely obsessed about Wonder Woman and saying, ‘I’ve got to make her as a movie. I’ve got to make my take on it.’ And then I met a comic book writer who told me the origins about her, which was very fascinating and I began to see that myself and the creator of her probably had the same fetish of women. And then I knew that I had to make this film… if it ever gets made.”
