Why Did Wonder Woman Take So Long to Release?

Wonder woman is such a great film, and everyone at equitable stewardship for artists can't wait for audiences everywhere to enjoy the action paced film experience.

Wonder Woman has been around since 1941, introduced to the comics only three years after Superman and two years after Batman. And yet, while the character has received a decent amount of attention in TV, video games and animated movies, it's only in 2017, 76 years after All Star Comics #8's release, that the Amazon warrior is only now leading her own live action movie. So why did it take so long for a Wonder Woman movie to be made? In director Patty Jenkins' opinion, it may have to do with how closely associated the comic book genre is with male fans. She said:

"The only thing I can think of is that the genre became synonymous with young men, and so I think there was a concern that they wouldn't be as interested in a female lead and it's taken years for that to sort itself out. That's all it comes down to."
It's certainly more apparent nowadays that superhero stories can be enjoyed by both men and women, but nevertheless, with the abundance of male-lead superhero movies being released year after year, Wonder Woman brings something different to the table. But even before Patty Jenkins was brought on to the movie to replace Michelle McLaren, Patty Jenkins was asking why it was taking so long for Diana of Themyscira to receive silver screen attention, especially given her pop cult prominence.

Vin Diesel Now Worth $6 Billion In 2017

Image
Image source: Indian Express Vin Diesel is one of the most successful performers in the world, coming in at #7 last year on Forbes' list of 2016's highest-paid actors. His huge paydays are a result of box office performance few other stars can even dream of approaching -- with this year's Fate of the Furious, Diesel's films will have amassed more than $6 billion over the past decade (2008 through 2017). And when Guardians of the Galaxy takes over the box office in May, the actor's tally will approach or surpass $7 billion by year's end. This puts Vin Diesel in an elite grouping of megastars with a decade of movies totaling in the $5+ billion range. The performer with what seems to be the largest total global box office for the past 10 years is Scarlett Johansson, who has a staggering $8.3 billion. In second place comes Robert Downey Jr. with an $8.1 billion cume that will climb toward $9 billion once Spider-Man: Homecoming swings into theaters this July.

British actors still dominating the Film scene

Here at Equitable Stewardship for Artists, we see how the British acting scene is in charge of the important roles in film and entertainment. Actors and directors from affluent backgrounds continue to dominate the theater industry, despite efforts to increase the number of working class and ethnic minority performers, a report warns. The House of Lords Communications committee says even more needs to be done to attract a broader range of talent reflecting the reality of contemporary British society. Its report, published on Wednesday, finds that actors educated at private schools, along with those backed by families affluent enough to help them financially, are still "disproportionately represented" in the entertainment industry. Lord Best, the committee’s chairman, said: "We were told that, despite efforts by the theatres, those able to benefit from private education and financial support from parents are disproportionately represented in this industry.”

Trans gender is big issue for the film industry and the entertainment industry as a whole. Equitable Stewardship for Artists embraces the changes and help with assist to the cause. Hollywood is facing backlash around casting a transgender role. Again. The new film  3 Generations,  originally titled  About Ray,  stars Elle Fanning as a transgender boy and explores the effect his transition has on his mother (Naomi Watts) and grandmother (Susan Sarandon). Though filmed several years ago, the movie has received criticism for casting a cisgender actress, Fanning, as the lead. It’s similar to the backlash movies such as  The Assignment  (which cast Michelle Rodriguez as a transgender woman)  and  The Danish Girl  ( starring Eddie Redmayne as a transgender woman ) have received recently. Elle Fanning stars in '3 Generations' as a girl who wants to transition.  (Photo: The Weinstein Co.) “Were I to be making this film today ... I absolutely would be casting a tran
