Patty Jenkins: Last News

EXCLUSIVE: There is a disturbance in the Force.

Death On The Nile and Tenet, revealed his choices in a poll for Sight and Sound magazine.Since 1952, the magazine has asked various filmmakers every decade for their lists of the greatest films of all time. As part of the Winter 2022-23 issue, directors like Branagh, Martin Scorsese, Wes Anderson, Barry Jenkins and Ari Aster were invited to contribute their favourites.Branagh’s top pick was The Godfather, while Cloud Atlas and Lady Bird also made his top 10.

There’s a minor disturbance in the force, but there always is when it comes to Lucasfilm and “Star Wars” Celebration. And what we mean by that is Lucasfilm always makes major “Star Wars” updates at Celebration—which is coming up in April of this year in the U.K.—and the nature of development over at the company, which has been admittedly a little rocky over the last few years, means, some projects go forward and some get nixed (and honestly, this is a better approach than just releasing a movie with a weak script because it has a release date like a lot of blockbusters).

Adam B. Vary Senior Entertainment Writer When Jon Favreau stepped onto the red carpet for the Season 3 premiere of “The Mandalorian” on Feb. 28, the Disney+ show’s creator and executive producer was feeling nostalgic. “It’s been a while since we’ve been all together here like this,” Favreau told Variety, evoking the November 2019 premiere for the launch of the show — and of Disney+ itself. “It was before the first episode aired!” At that time, “The Mandalorian” was a scrappy landspeeder in the vast “Star Wars” galaxy, nipping at the heels of “The Rise of Skywalker,” the culminating feature film from director J.J. Abrams that was expected just a month later to obliterate the box office like a cinematic Death Star. Instead, “The Mandalorian” became a global sensation thanks to the incandescent cuteness of Baby Yoda, blasting Disney+ into light-speed with 26.5 million subscribers in its first six weeks.

The Jojo Rabbit Oscar winner is in talks to potentially star in his own Star Wars movie, however, Taika Waititi is still working on the script. It’s very early days for his Star Wars movie, like several projects that Lucasfilm has in the works.

Two longtime Star Wars projects have been officially shelved.

There were lots of celebs in attendance at the Dior fashion show during Paris Fashion Week!

Zack Sharf Digital News Director David F. Sandberg, the director of “Shazam!” and its upcoming sequel “Shazam! Fury of the Gods,” told comic book movie fans on Twitter that the new regime at DC Studios does not necessarily signal the end of his Zachary Levi-starring franchise. “Fury of the Gods” was developed and filmed before James Gunn and Peter Safran took over DC Studios and overhauled the DC Universe. Does Levi’s Shazam have a place in the new universe? It will depend on how “Fury of the Gods” performs at the box office, the director says. “Hey David, I don’t feel like watching the movie because of the drama happening around DC studios,” a Twitter user wrote to the director. “It is just killing the vibe of the film. There is a lot of uncertainty about DC’s Future. Just give us an answer, whether Shazam will have a role in future DCU.”

Zack Sharf When James Gunn and Peter Safran unveiled the new DC Universe slate in January, the lineup included a “Wonder Woman” prequel series titled “Paradise Lost” that is set for HBO Max. Not much about the series is known other than it’s a “‘Game of Thrones’-ish story” set on the island of Themyscira before the birth of Diana (a.k.a. Wonder Woman). In a new interview with Yahoo Entertainment, Robin Wright said she would love the chance to star in “Paradise Lost” as her DC character Antiope. “I loved playing an Amazon,” Wright said. “I kinda feel like I was the leader of an Amazon tribe in my past life. I haven’t received that call [about ‘Paradise Lost’] yet. Maybe I’m too old!”

When new DC Co-Chairmen and CEOs James Gunn and Peter Safran took their new posts last fall, there was a lot of agita in town with their swift decisions.

So, James Gunn and Peter Safran have taken over the DC Universe with DC Studios. So far, that’s meant Henry Cavill out as Superman, Gal Gadot’s Wonder Woman fate is unclear (though director Patty Jenkins threequel was rejected), Jason Momoa with vague but good news about his future, and everyone else with a big fat TBD.

Gal Gadot showed off her trendy style while stepping out for lunch at Nobu, Malibu, on Wednesday. The Wonder Woman star, 37, rocked a black leather motorcycle jacket and a pair of distressed blue jeans to the celebrity beloved Japanese beachfront eatery. The Israeli actress — who will not be starring in Wonder Woman 3 after the project was axed by Warner Bros — was joined by her businessman husband Yaron Varsano, 48, to whom she's been married since 2008.  Rocker chic: Gal Gadot showed off her trendy style while stepping out for lunch at Nobu, Malibu, on WednesdayGal kept warm during the outing, wearing a blue zip-up sweater and grey t-shirt underneath her jacket. The actress accessorized her look with chunky black boots that zipped up in the front.The Death on the Nile beauty wore her chocolate brown tresses pulled into a messy bun and appeared to go makeup free for the day.  Cool gal: The Wonder Woman star, 37, rocked a black leather motorcycle jacket and a pair of distressed blue jeans to the celebrity beloved Japanese beachfront eatery Meanwhile her other half rocked a red plaid button-up over a grey T-shirt.

As James Gunn and Peter Safran build a new path forward for DC Studios, they leave lots of upheaval in their wake.  Patty Jenkins‘ “Wonder Woman 3“? No more.  Henry Cavill? No longer Superman. A sequel to “Black Adam“? Not gonna happen, and Dwayne Johnson‘s tenure as the superhero is likely over, too.

Dwayne Johnson has taken to social to make it official that he’s heard from DC Studios co-head James Gunn and Black Adam won’t be a part of the first phase of DC’s new plans. “However, DC and Seven Bucks have agreed to continue exploring the most valuable ways Black Adam can be utilized in future DC multiverse chapters.”

James Gunn and Peter Safran have been tasked to shake up the DC Universe and in doing so have scrapped several ideas from the past regime like Henry Cavill’s return as Superman and Patty Jenkins’ take on 3.

DC studios co-CEO James Gunn has long engaged with fans on Twitter, both as director of movies such as Guardians of the Galaxy and in his new executive capacity at Warner Bros. Discovery. But some of his recent replies have taken a sharper tone since fans began reacting to the news that Patty Jenkins’ plan for Wonder Woman 3 was not moving forward and, more stridently, the revelation that Henry Cavill would not be returning as Superman.

Unless you’ve been living under the proverbial rock, you’ve probably heard that there is drama in the DC film universe. But, of course, when is there not? Recently, it was announced that James Gunn is writing a new “Superman” film, which would focus on the character’s earlier days.

What the hell is going on over at DC Studios? That’s the question on superhero film fans’ minds, as we see the beginning stages of James Gunn and Peter Safran’s reign over the DCU. That question has been amplified by the recent news that Patty Jenkins is no longer making “Wonder Woman 3” and apparently, there is a not-so-small chance that the entirety of the DCU could be facing a reboot.

Wonder Woman director Patty Jenkins has hit back at claims she's behind Warner Bros.' decision to axe the highly-anticipated third installment of the hit Gal Gadot superhero franchise. The 51-year-old director was developing Wonder Woman 3 until a report surfaced last week that the sequel was 'dead' at Warner Bros., just weeks after new DC Films heads James Gunn and Peter Safran took over. There were also reports that Jenkins walked away from the sequel after refusing to take studio notes , though Jenkins revealed in a new statement on Twitter that she, 'never walked away' from the sequel.  Opening up: Just days after it was revealed that Warner Bros.' highly-anticipated Wonder Woman 3 was not moving forward, director Patty Jenkins is opening up on the situation No sequel: The 51-year-old director was developing Wonder Woman 3 until a report surfaced last week that the sequel was 'dead' at Warner Bros., just weeks after new DC Films heads James Gunn and Peter Safran took over Statement: There were also reports that Jenkins walked away from the sequel after refusing to take studio notes , though Jenkins revealed in a new statement on Twitter that she, 'never walked away' from the sequelJenkins began that she didn't want to discuss, 'private career matters,' but she also didn't want to, 'allow inaccuracies to continue.''When there started to be backlash about WW3 not happening, the attractive clickbait false story that it was me that killed it or walked away started to spread,' Jenkins said. 'This is simply not true.

If you’ve heard some of the rumors swirling, some of them gossipy and nasty, everything from Patty Jenkins walking away from “Wonder Woman 3,” refusing to make changes to her treatment, and being difficult to work with, well know that the filmmaker has heard them herself and isn’t happy. Jenkins took to social media this evening to refute some of the claims swirling around about her, some from the Wrap and others from Jeff Sneider’s YouTube Show that really painted her in a hostile, hard-to-work-with light.
