Details on Early Work Done for Wonder Woman? Sunday, August 24, 2003 6:27 CDT
'Robert' sent in this new report on the early work that was done for the new Wonder Woman movie...
I got some this scoop from a source (would like to be unnamed) who worked the production in the preliminary visualization stages. (SPOILERS INCLUDED!!):
My source got very rough storyboards for the preliminary shots, in which Wonder Woman's powers revolved mainly around her skills in defeating a gang of thugs in a hand to hand/foot battle scenario. This was set in a cathedral. To see how her super-human acrobatic abilities could be handled.
The shots were choreographed and pre-visualized, gymnasts(!!) re-enacted the major-moves in a green screen, motion-capture environment.. The model at the time definitely looked like Sandra Bullock, my source was as much victim to rumour as anyone else.
One shot had WW flying, WITHOUT the invisible plane!! She was able to actually put her arms out and fly (think of feminine Superman flight. . . much more wrist). Think of it more has hang-gliding with your arms. There was much back and forth on the 'way' she should fly, so there's little doubt that 'the powers that be' are considering it. Bizarre, since she has an invisible plane.
Maybe she has an invisible hand-glider?! =) She was able to fly in the comics, of course, but this is certainly interesting.
