Among the directorial names being bandied about are the Wachowski brothers, who would no doubt take the already kind-of-kooky Wonder Woman story and add their special Matrix brand of weird. Not that that would be a bad thing -- Silver and Goldberg stated that they would like to scale back the Wonder Woman origin story, in which pilot Steve Trevor crashes his plane onto Wonder Woman's matriarchal homeland island of Themyscira, an act for which he's supposed to be executed and whereupon WW saves his life. Saying, "Perhaps we'll do that in a very abbreviated fashion up front, and then come up with a story that no one has seen yet." And we all know the Wachoskis could come up with something way cooler than that Her Wonderfulness's lame invisible plane.

Wachowski or no, when it comes to the lady herself, the producers are looking to cast an unknown in the role, saying that the audience will be coming to the theater for Wonder Woman, not the actress who plays her. Not that I disagree, but the same theory was the impetus behind the casting in Superman Returns, and look how well that turned out.
