Wonder Women

While other big name franchises are giving opportunities to up and comers like Rian Johnson (Star Wars Episode VIII), Gareth Edwards (Godzilla), Colin Treverrow (Jurassic World) and Josh Trank (The Fantastic Four), Warner Brothers has opted to offer the Wonder Woman directing reins to the two biggest names in female filmmaker history: Kathryn Bigelow and Catherine Hardwicke. As much as I would love to see Kathryn Bigelow take on a film about a kick-ass Amazonian, a bigger part of me would rather see it go to a lesser known female filmmaker. If we just keep hiring the same "big name" female filmmakers over and over again, how are any other women supposed to get their chance? And don't give me any of that malarkey about how other female filmmakers haven't proven themselves capable of taking on a film of such scope. What part of Safety Not Guaranteed screams out, "I'm ready to direct a Jurassic Park sequel!"? Stop making excuses. Well let's just hope that when/if Bigelow/Hardwicke pass on this Warners don't give up on women entirely and opt for Brett Ratner or some such hack. Who would you like to see direct Wonder Woman?
