Cannes 2010 - Director Nicolas Winding Refn has stated he'd like to direct Wonder Woman.
The Pusher and Bronson helmer was in Cannes this week to sell upcoming Ryan Gosling thriller Drive, and took the opportunity to share his current dream project.
"I want to make Wonder Woman," Winding Refn said, quite unambiguously. "They haven't asked me yet, but I really want to do it."
Studios, are you listening?
The live-action Wonder Woman project has been in development hell for years on end, with every vaguely exotic looking actress from Angelina to Megan having been linked to the role at some point.
Cult TV deity Joss Whedon was attached to write and direct for a period, but left the project in 2007 citing "creative differences" with the studio.
Which is a bugger, as if there's one thing Whedon does well it is writing beautiful, kick-ass women who are surprising and complex and flawed, and there isn't nearly enough of that going around in Hollywood.
Who would you like to see take the Wonder Woman reigns?

I'm all for it seeing as nobody else appears to want the job. At least this guy's got some chops.

Australian slashee actress/model (and not the other way round) was signed to the role in the development hell "Justice league of America" already. She looks perfect for the role. They'd save on costume fitting as well, already done!!
