Director Patty Jenkins comments on Wonder Woman rumors
Wonder Woman director Patty Jenkins has responded to an anonymous “open letter” from a supposed former Warner Bros. employee addressed to the studio’s chairman and CEO Kevin Tsujihara. The letter included the following on the movie:
“Maybe Wonder Woman wouldn’t be such a mess. Don’t try to hide behind the great trailer. People inside are already confirming it’s another mess. It is almost impressive how you keep rewarding the same producers and executives for making the same mistakes, over and over.”
Jenkins said the claim the movie is in trouble is “totally false.” Here’s the tweets:
Woah, just saw this press about WW having problems. Are they serious? This is some made up bs right here. Made up! Produce a source, anyone.

You can’t because it’s entirely false. Don’t believe the hype people. Someone’s trying to spread some serious misinfo.

Isn’t until you are intimately involved in these things that you realize how totally false these rumors can. Let me reassure you…

Zero about the movie we are making has been called a mess by anyone in the know. Fact.

Real lasso of truth, time, will reveal that letter to be false soon enough. But lame something so transparent in its agenda gets traction.
