Wonder Woman Wraps Production
By Steve Lam
It’s a wrap! Gal Gadot makes a Twitter announcement that 2017’s Wonder Woman has completed production.
The ever gleeful Gal Gadot took to Twitter today to announce that the 2017 DC Cinematic Universe installment Wonder Woman has wrapped up production today. Her Twitter message contained an animated GIF showing her playfully celebrating the finale with a clapperboard.
Other than a few leaked pics showing the actors in scenes for World War I and at the beach, and a promo image of Diana with her fellow Amazonians, the production has remained pretty secretive. The plot is said to revolve around Ares, the God of War, attempting to gain power by starting a massive war that only Wonder Woman can prevent.
Next up is post-production, which means the insertion of computer-effects imagery, music, and all the things that really bring a fantasy-based film like this one to life. The movie is still a ways off–not releasing until mid 2017–which means that there still might be some script changes that warrant re-shoots. However, it seems that this first silver screen solo outing for the Goddess of Truth is in good hands with director Patty Jenkins at the helm.
