Patty Jenkins - Wonder Woman

#Interview: Patty Jenkins talks Wonder Woman

Director Patty Jenkins talks about her latest film, the Warner Bros and DC Comics adaptation Wonder Woman, out now in cinemas.

Before she was Wonder Woman, she was Diana, princess of the Amazons, trained to be an unconquerable warrior. Raised on a sheltered island paradise, when an American pilot crashes on their shores and tells of a massive conflict raging in the outside world, Diana leaves her home, convinced she can stop the threat. Fighting alongside man in a war to end all wars, Diana will discover her full powers… and her true destiny.

Joining Gadot in the international cast are Chris Pine (Star Trek), Robin Wright (The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, House of Cards), Danny Huston (Clash of the Titans, X-Men Origins: Wolverine), David Thewlis (Harry Potter), Connie Nielsen (The Following, Gladiator), Elena Anaya (The Skin I Live In), Ewen Bremner (Exodus: Gods and Kings, Snowpiercer), Lucy Davis (Shaun of the Dead), Lisa Loven Kongsli (Ashes in the Snow), Eugene Brave Rock (Hell on Wheels), and Saïd Taghmaoui (American Hustle).

Jenkins directs the film from a screenplay by Allan Heinberg, story by Zack Snyder & Allan Heinberg and Jason Fuchs, based on characters from DC Comics. Wonder Woman was created by William Moulton Marston. The film is produced by Charles Roven, Deborah Snyder, Zack Snyder and Richard Suckle, with Stephen Jones, Geoff Johns, Wesley Coller and Rebecca Steel Roven serving as executive producers.
