Gal Gadot to play Cleopatra.

Good choice.

Gal Gadot will trade her lasso of truth for a golden crown, playing the legendary queen of Egypt in “Cleopatra,” a historical drama that will reunite the actress with her “Wonder Woman” director Patty Jenkins.

Paramount Pictures won the rights to the project, reportedly beating out other suitors such as Apple, Universal, Warner Bros. and Netflix. Gadot will get a chance to put her mark on a role previously essayed by the likes of Claudette Colbert and Elizabeth Taylor, playing a woman who romanced Julius Caesar and Marc Antony and served as the last ruler of Egypt’s Ptolemaic Kingdom. Taylor’s version proved to be so costly that 20th Century Fox nearly went bankrupt — hopefully this one will be less lavish.

The WONDER WOMAN 1984 trailer.

Got told about this in comments by Constant Reader Aetius451AD. Anyway: interesting. You’ll see why once you watch the trailer. Ach, well, it happens all the dang time in the comic books, too.

Otherwise: heh. I remember 1984: I was a teenager then. Guess they’re aiming at my demographic? If so, I don’t mind. Looks pretty good as a trailer, but I already knew that I was going to see WONDER WOMAN 84 anyway. It’s pretty much a destiny thing.

Movie of the Week: Wonder Woman.

Sure, it comes out next week (on International Talk Like A Pirate Day, by the powers!), but if you’re going to use Wonder Woman as a quick-and-easy Christmas present for your nieces or whatnot you might as well order it through this site.  Besides, it was a good movie.  And a good superhero flick, which is not exactly the same thing.

And so, adieu to Kong: Skull Island.

Hmm.

…Hey! Continue reading Movie of the Week: Wonder Woman.

Huh. They’re releasing the Wonder Woman DVD early, yes?

August 29th for digital, September 19th for DVD/Blu-Ray. I would have thought that they would try to get Wonder Woman on the shelves for Christmas.  Is this normal? Are they trying to hit an award deadline?

And let me just note: this would be a real easy Christmas present to give, too. Not quite a no-brainer, but it’s getting there. I figure that I’m buying at least one copy for my niece.
