Gal Gadot And Patty Jenkins Honoured With National Board Of Review's Spotlight Award
By Daniel Falconer in Movies / TV / Theatre on 29 November 2017
The pair worked together on one of this year's biggest blockbuster hits, 'Wonder Woman'.
This year, the big screen has played host to some incredible pictures. One of those that have made the greatest impression and cemented a place for itself in pop culture history is the DC Extended Universe's 'Wonder Woman'. Gal Gadot played the titular character with Patty Jenkins serving as the first female director on a superhero flick, and both, along with the rest of the team working on the film, smashed the job out of the park.
Knowing what it takes to make a good movie - especially so in the world of superheroes - Jenkins is somebody who everyone working within that realm could learn something from. Having proven that women can do things just as well as men, if not better when it comes to films of this type, she's now passed judgement on the latest trailer for upcoming Marvel Cinematic Universe flick, 'Black Panther'.

Patty Jenkins Hits Back At James Cameron's 'Wonder Woman' Criticisms
By Ed Biggs in Movies / TV / Theatre on 25 August 2017
Patty Jenkins took Cameron's comments to task on Twitter.
Wonder Woman director Patty Jenkins has hit back at fellow filmmaker James Cameron’s criticisms of the movie, claiming that he has an “inability to understand what Wonder Woman is or stands for.”
Cameron, behind massive blockbusters like Titanic and Avatar, said in an interview via The Guardian on Friday (August 25th) that Jenkins’ depiction of Gal Gadot’s Wonder Woman was a “step backwards” and that the reaction to it from the film industry was just “self-congratulatory back-patting”.
“She’s an objectified icon, and it’s just male Hollywood doing the same old thing! I’m not saying I didn’t like the movie but, to me, it’s a step backwards,” he said, then pointing to his own Terminator film for a better example of what he meant.

The movie will follow up this year's box office hit.
'Wonder Woman' went down a treat this summer, so fans will be more than happy with the news that the script for 'Wonder Woman 2' is already being written. The cast and crew revealed the news ahead of their panel discussion at San Diego Comic-Con over the weekend.
Hitting cinemas at the end of next week, Jenkins has now teased a little more of what we should expect. In the past, major cuts have been made to DCEU films that have, for many, hampered the final product. Jenkins says that this won't be the case for 'Wonder Woman'.

Patty Jenkins Happy She Left 'Thor 2'
By Daniel Falconer in Movies / TV / Theatre on 26 May 2017
The director doesn't think she would have been able to do 'Wonder Woman' if she'd stuck with 'The Dark World'.
Patty Jenkins may be the director of upcoming DC Extended Universe release 'Wonder Woman', but what many people don't know is that she was working alongside Marvel Studios back in 2011, originally set to direct the 'Thor' sequel, 'Thor: The Dark World', otherwise known as 'Thor 2'.
In the same year, she and the company parted way citing "creative differences", before Alan Taylor ('Game of Thrones') jumped on board to work on what the world knows today as the second standalone 'Thor' film. So is leaving those proceedings something Jenkins now regrets? Not a chance.
