One of the things to plague the movies of today is the constant removal and altering of scenes. And with the current DC films especially, there’s been plenty of director’s cuts and extended editions being released. However, according to director Patty Jenkins, this won’t be the case with Wonder Woman.
In an interview with Collider she said,
“You know, it’s not like a long journey didn’t happen but what amazes me is how little has actually changed from the first cut other than tightening,” she said. “Little changes to the final battle, that was really it. I think that what I ended up finding about the final battle was I was hitting emotional points for Diana that I really wanted to hit but I felt a craving for some other kinds of emotional gratification and engagement that we tried to accentuate even more. I think what you learn is rhythm, tone, humor where the jokes are happening but in our case, I just now can finally say all this. We didn’t cut one scene in this movie nor did we change the order of one scene in this movie from the script that we went in shooting with.”
She even explained how frustrating it was to read how supposedly badly edited her film was.
“That was actually the most frustrating thing when somebody made up the rumor that it was a mess and I was like ‘Really? A mess? It’s the opposite, it is so steady, it’s been so even keel and steady,’” she said. “It’s been such an opposite experience. … The rumor mill of these movies has been quite something to behold.”
Let’s hope things work out for Wonder Woman, and we get a beautifully made and edited superhero film for our favorite Amazonian princess.
