It is no end of strange that with all the superhero movies being greenlit, one of the biggest comic book icons has languished in development hell for years. How is it that the Hulk managed to get remade before Wonder Woman landed a single movie?

We've heard it before, but she may finally be on her way. IESB.net caught up with Joel Silver at the Speed Racer press junket, and to everyone's surprise, Silver mentioned the future of the Amazon superheroine. Silver says he has two new writers working on the script -- Matthew Jennison and Brent Strickland, authors of the WWII Wonder Woman script that Warner Bros bought last year.

The two are writing a whole new script, shying away from any origin story, but instead one looking at her background, and her homeland of Paradise Island. I don't know, that sounds like an origin story to me. No word on what has happened to the WWII spec.

Great, just when we thought there was only one upcoming Wonder Woman flick to deal with, The Hollywood Reporter tells us Warner Bros. and Silver Pictures have gone and quietly snagged another Wonder Woman spec from newbie scribes Matthew Jennison and Brent Strickland. However (and this is the good news), the studio doesn't plan to make this second Wonder Woman film because, well, producer Joel Silver and Warners are already hard at work on Joss Whedon's version of the sexy superhero.

Confused? Let me clarify: See, the only reason they picked up this second script was because they didn't want anyone else to grab it, go into production, then turn around and throw a lawsuit at Warners claiming similarities between the two. Plus, they really liked Jennison and Strickland's writing ... and I suppose they now have a back-up in case Whedon suddenly packs his bags and disappears. The bad news? Um, I hate to say it, but the other script sounds more interesting. Apparently, Jennison and Strickland's version used World War II as a backdrop, where Whedon's take has Wonder Woman saving the world in present day. I don't know about you, but Wonder Woman set against a World War II backdrop sounds a lot more unique and appealing. Now we can get back to casting rumors.
