\"\"<\/a>Warner Brothers has been having some trouble in getting a live-action Wonder Woman<\/strong> project off the ground. A film version has gone through a number of screenwriters over the last several years and even a fan favorite like Joss Whedon wasn\u2019t able to get things moving. A television iteration of the classic comics heroine crashed and burned when a produced pilot starring Adrianne Palecki didn\u2019t get picked up to become a series earlier this summer.<\/p>\n

But where others have failed could Bronson<\/strong> director Nicolas Winding Refn succeed? He certainly would like to give the project a try and he may just get his shot at it if the Warner brass are happy with how his next planned project, a remake of the 1970s science-fiction film Logan\u2019s Ru<\/strong>n does well.<\/p>\n

Speaking at the Empire Big Screen weekend in London this past week, Refn, who was there to promote his upcoming film Drive<\/strong>, stated \u2013<\/p>\n

I would love to make Wonder Woman<\/strong>. And I also think that [Drive<\/strong> star] Christina Hendricks would be the perfect Wonder Woman, but Warner Bros haven\u2019t called yet. But I\u2019m getting closer with Logan\u2019s Run<\/strong>. I think someone said to me in a meeting that if I get Logan\u2019s Run right, then I\u2019ll get Wonder Woman<\/strong>.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Christina Hendricks as Wonder Woman? You can already hear the fanboy drooling.<\/p>\n

But fanboys will have to wait, as Refn\u2019s next project is actually Only God Forgives<\/strong> with his Drive<\/strong> star Ryan Gosling. After that the pair will move on to Logan\u2019s Run<\/strong>, with Gosling starring as the futuristic lawman who decides to flee society when he reaches the mandated suicide age of 30. If Warners is seriously considering Refn for Wonder Woman<\/strong> then we will probably have a bit of a wait before we get to see the film.<\/p>\n
