Joss Whedon

Sci Fi Wire talked to producer Joel Silver who confirmed that he is trying to sign Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel, and Firefly creator Joss Whedon to write and direct a new Wonder Woman feature.

"I’m trying," Silver said at Wonder-Con in San Francisco on Saturday. "I’m trying to work a deal with Joss... I was just in the other room [where Whedon was talking about his upcoming SF movie, Serenity]. I don’t know if I could work that out. It’s a complicated deal to do, but I would love him to do it. It would be great if he could do it."

Silver said that Whedon came to him with a new twist on the venerable character.
