\"\"Warner Brothers really wants a\u00a0Batgirl\u00a0<\/strong>movie and they’re not going to let a little thing like Joss Whedon walking away from the project stop them from getting one.<\/p>\n

The Hollywood Reporter<\/a> states that Warners has hired\u00a0Bumblebee\u00a0<\/strong>writer Christina Hodson to work on a new script for the character.<\/p>\n

Whedon famously stepped down from the job of writing and directing back in February<\/a> when he could break the story for the character.<\/p>\n

Some of you out their might ask how can a writer whose only screen credits are a clich\u00e9d psychological thriller (2016’s Shut In<\/strong>, 8% Fresh at Rotten Tomatoes<\/a>)\u00a0 and a forgettable erotic thriller (2017’s\u00a0Unforgettable<\/strong>, 25% Fresh at Rotten Tomatoes<\/a>) can succeed where a legendary screenwriter has failed. Well, her script for\u00a0Bumblebee\u00a0<\/strong>has received a lot of buzz around Hollywood (no pun intended). On top of that, Warners was impressed with her work developing a\u00a0Birds of Prey\u00a0<\/strong>movie. So the studio heads know what they are getting.<\/p>\n

No word on a new director or a timetable of when production will begin or the film will be released.<\/p>\n

I’d like to give Hodson the benefit of the doubt. But she has a tough job ahead of her and incredibly big shoes to fill. Best of luck to her.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

Christina Hodson is jumping into Joss Whedon’s Giant-Sized shoes to write BATGIRL. <\/div>\n
