Today in Marvel History: The Thanos Snap (21 May 2019)From www.marvel.com
INFINITY GAUNTLET #1 (Jul 1991)
Marvel Comics
On May 21, 1991, the Mad Titan upended existence with a single click of his fingers, killing 50% of life, and leaving the Super Heroes of the Marvel universe with the greatest fight in history ahead of them. Led by the resurrected Adam Warlock and aided by primal cosmic forces, Earth's protectors entered cosmic warfare in a six-issue event written by Jim Starlin and featuring the art of George Perez and Ron Lim. And 28 years later, the reverberations of this one action are still echoing across the world!

DC UNIVERSE ORIGINAL MOVIES: 10TH ANNIVERSARY COLLECTION (Blu-Ray) (07 Nov 2017)
Warner Bros
Warner Bros announced that they are releasing the DC Universe Original Movies: 10th Anniversary Collection on a 30 disc Blu-Ray collection on November 7th. The collection will feature two George Perez-related films, TEEN TITANS: THE JUDAS CONTRACT (18 Apr 2017) and WONDER WOMAN: COMMEMORATIVE EDITION (02 May 2017).
Pricing has not been announced, but they shouldn't sell this for more
than $100. I actually own 95% of these titles, except for one or two
titles and the forthcoming Batman & Harley Quinn.
WONDER WOMAN: COMMEMORATIVE EDITION (16 May 2017) Warner Brothers
If you already own the George Perez Book/Bluray Combo, don't bother picking up the recently released Wonder Woman: Commemorative Edition.
This is my third copy of the WB film (previously owning the DVD in 2009
and the Book/BD Combo in 2015) and I can tell you that it's not worth
the upgrade with Wonder Woman: Commemorative Edition.
If you own the digital version (via Ultra Violet code or through direct
digital purchase), you should be automatically upgraded to the Commemorative Edition. There is no difference.
Besides from the new cover artwork, the only thing new in this version
is the "What Makes a Wonder Woman" special feature. The 10-min feature
does use some George Perez example artworks, but actually did not
interview him.
Instead you do have interviews with some other comic creators, like
Phil Jimenez, Cliff Chiang, and Geoff Johns. The rest included various
Wonder Woman authors, directors of the cartoon and the upcoming film:
Lauren Montgomery, Jill Leopore, Michael Jelenic, Gal Gadot, Patty
Jenkins, and Andrea Quijada. Also, a rare appearance by Pete Marston
(son of William Marston).
If you only have the DVD, I would recommend trying to track down and
upgrade to the 2015 Book/BD combo (which includes both digital comic
codes and UV film codes).

* - Jelenic said that Gail Simone probably got a lot of the story cues
from the George Perez relaunch of the Wonder Woman comic book in the
1980's, but Timm credited the visual style to Montgomery. The movie
doesn't look much like Perez's artwork because she said that, "When I try to draw like someone else, it doesn't look as good, so I just try to draw the best way I can," and "that's ultimately where the style came from." However, she said that if they get an opportunity to do another Wonder Woman movie, there are lots of artistic styles they could explore.
NYCC 09: Bruce Timm Discusses ‘Wonder Woman’ Animated Movie Posted by TechGOnzo | February 9th, 2009 at 8:47 am
Legendary animator Bruce Timm was on hand to discuss the latest DC Universe original animated movie, Wonder Woman at over the weekend New York Comic Con, which is where it made it’s world premiere.
(excerpt)
“[This Wonder Woman] actually wasn’t based on any one specific
comic. There was some misinformation about that earlier on — that it
was based on the George Perez version. There are
similarities, but it’s not specifically based on George’s run,” Timm
said during a roundtable interview at NYCC. “We kind of look back at
the entire history of the character and sort of cherry pick the things
we like about each version…then smush them all together to see if they
work.”
“So there’s stuff in there from the Linda Carter series, there’s
stuff in there from the Greg Rucka run, stuff from the Perez Run, and
even stuff from the very first Golden Age stories,” he said.
The 'Firefly' and 'Serenity' star talks about voicing Steve Trevor in the upcoming animated flick
Nathan Fillion, star of Joss Whedon's "Firefly" and "Serenity," will do
double duty this March as the title character in ABC's upcoming series
"Castle" and the voice of Steve Trevor in "Wonder Woman," the next
entry in the popular series of DC Universe animated original PG-13
movies due from Warner Premiere, DC Comics and Warner Bros. Animation
on March 3, 2009.
(excerpt)
Queen Hippolyta (left) and Artemis (center) don't appreciate Steve
Trevor's unrefined humor in "Wonder Wonder." Trevor is voiced by
Nathan Fillion, while Hippolyta and Artemis are voiced by Virginia
Madsen and Rosario Dawson, respectively. "Wonder Woman," the all-new
DC Universe animated original movie set for distribution March 3, 2009
by Warner Home Video.
Prior to recording this film, were you familiar with Greek mythology?
FILLION: My brain is like a hard drive. Once you start adding
new information, you start cutting off old information. About four
years ago is when my university art history lessons starting getting
deleted for new and more exciting information. Well, I don't even
know if it's really more exciting. But it sure is new.
You've been involved in a lot of primetime television and
feature films in recent years. What prompted you to accept a voiceover
role?
FILLION: I find that I'm in a spot in my career right now where
a lot of my jobs come around from people I've worked with already.
People keep inviting me back. It's nice to work with the same people
when you've had a good time previously, and this is one of those
cases. So when you get a phone call saying, 'How would you like to be
Steve Trevor in the new Wonder Woman animated movie?' you naturally
answer 'That would be great.' And you smile all day.

Virginia Madsen interviewed about playing Hippolyta in "Wonder Woman" by CBR News Team, Editor Thu, January 8th, 2009 at 8:11AM PST
Academy Award nominee Virginia Madsen brings an impassioned, stately voice to the role of Hippolyta, Queen of the Amazons, for "Wonder Woman," the next entry in the popular series of DC Universe animated original PG-13 movies.
(excerpt)
At the urging of an acting coach, Madsen actually began performing
voiceovers when she was pregnant with her now-14-year-old son. She was
able to find time in her single-mother/busy-actress life to discuss
subjects ranging from her secret desire to play Batman and the reading
lessons inherent to comic books to working as a waitress at the same
Evanston, Illinois restaurant as "Wonder Woman" co-star Marg
Helgenberger.
All hail the Q&A with the queen ... Virginia Madsen.
QUESTION: Did you prepare for voicing the Queen of the Amazons in any special way?
VIRGINIA MADSEN: Well, I prepared this morning by writing
several edicts for my son (laughs). Honestly, I love when I get to play
these characters that are bigger than life. There are roles in
animation that I never get to do in real life – and it appeals to my
ego as an actor to play the Queen of Everything (laughs) Hey, I'm
honest. I admit it.
WONDER WOMAN'S MICHAEL JELENIC ANIMATING AN AMAZON #532186 - 12/31/0810:02 AM

Warner Brothers has provided THE PULSE with a question and answer session conducted with Wonder Woman writer Michael Jelenic. This animated version of comics most famous Amazon will be available on March 3.
FROM WARNER BROTHERS ....
SCREENWRITER MICHAEL JELENIC DISCUSSES "WONDER WOMAN," THE NEXT DC UNIVERSE ANIMATED ORIGINAL MOVIE COMING TO DVD MARCH 3, 2009
Writer
Michael Jelenic makes the leap from animated television to
feature-length films with his script for "Wonder Woman," the next entry
in the popular series of DC Universe animated original PG-13 films.
Warner Premiere, DC Comics and Warner Bros. Animation are set to
release the all-new film on March 3, 2009, distributed by Warner Home
Video. The film will also be available OnDemand and Pay-Per-View as
well as available for download day and date, March 3, 2009.
(excerpt)
QUESTION: As this is Wonder Woman's origin story, what did you know you needed to include and on what did you want to focus?
MICHAEL JELENIC:
We had to hit certain elements that are part of Wonder Woman's myth,
and my job was to answer what sort of ramifications her origins would
have on her character during her journey to becoming a hero. It's
basically trying to boil down essential Wonder Woman elements into one
story. We looked at the stuff that the fans had to see – the iconic
things about Wonder Woman – and then tried to put a twist on them.
We've seen the lasso and the invisible jet before, so what's another
way we could use them? I wanted to incorporate all these iconic Wonder
Woman moments into the larger overall story.

"Wonder Woman" comes to DVD in February, 2009
WONDER WOMAN DVD (Mar 2009) Warner Brothers
Fans of Wonder Woman have been waiting for a feature film starring
the Amazon princess since Lynda Carter wore the bracelets and tiara on
TV back in the late '70s. This February their wishes will come true, in
animated form, with the release of the direct-to-DVD film "Wonder Woman," from DC Universe Original Animated Movies.
(excerpt)
Unlike the first two films in the series, "Wonder Woman" is not
based on any particular comic, but instead is an original story,
similar to what was done with "Batman: Gotham Knight." "We
cherry-picked from lots of different versions of Wonder Woman. It's not
specifically based on any one version. It has a lot of Golden Age
elements, it's a got a little of the Perez revamp, and it's even got
some stuff from the Lynda Carter version. So it's an amalgamation of
all the different things that we love about Wonder Woman," said Timm.
Wonder Woman DVD Trailer
POSTED BY Justin Tyler, 05 August 2008
Check it out, Amazons: Yahoo! Movies has posted the trailer
for the upcoming Wonder Woman Direct to DVD movie from Warner Bros.
Have a look at it and then stay tuned to Pulp Secret for an interview
with Bruce Timm and director Lauren Montgomery(Superman Doomsday)!
In Wonder Woman, the fourth animated DVD movie from Warner Bros. and DC Comics, Keri Russell (Felicity) voices Princess Diana, the Amazonian superhero.
The movie tells Diana's origin story, and reportedly is based on the 1987 George Perez-helmed comic revamp that pitted Wonder Woman against god of war Ares.
"This story is funny and action-packed and adult in a nice way," said Russell. "Then they said Nathan Fillion was playing opposite me, and that made it that much better."
"Playing second fiddle to Keri is a wonderful fiddle to play," said Fillion, who co-starred with Russell in the 2007 indie film Waitress. "I've done it before, I'll do it again--quite happily."
Fillion (Serenity), who previously voiced the fan favorite Vigilante in two episodes of Justice League Unlimited,
here plays Air Force pilot Steve Trevor, who crash lands on the Amazon
island. "What I like about Steve Trevor is that he's a very real guy.
He's very honest and he's very natural. He doesn't apologize for much.
And he's about as normal as a guy can be while hanging out with Wonder
Woman."
Russell and Fillion are supported by Virginia Madsen (Justice League) as Diana's mother, Queen Hippolyta; Rosario Dawson (Sin City) as Amazon rival Artemis, who briefly wore the WW mantle in the 90s comic series; and Alfred Molina (Spider-Man 2) as Ares. Composer Christopher Drake (Batman: Gotham Knight) will be providing at least some of the score.
Wonder Woman - The Animated Feature Trailer
August 05 | 8:47 PM
by Devlin
The
live-action feature film is never going to be made but at least we will
have this straight to video DVD animated feature come February 2009.
And the trailer looks good, featuring a formidable warrior princess
with strong ties to Greek mythology.
Don't
know why the Warner Bros. project to make a live-action feature film of
Wonder Woman never took off. Heaven knows, the story is already there.
Just use George Perez's six-issue arc that re-launched Wonder Woman
comics back in 1987, update it for the new millennium, avoid the
silliness that sank the Catwoman movie (i.e. treat the source material
with RESPECT), find someone with the right mix of beauty and toughness,
and we're all set. The Lynda Carter TV series was successful because
it treated the source material with respect, whereas an earlier pilot,
featuring Cathy Lee Crosby as a powerless and (blasphemously) blonde
Wonder Woman whose only link to the character was the name and nothing
else, failed. Of course, the Lynda Carter version of Wonder Woman
would never work on the big screen now (we're no longer in the campy
70s - and even then, Lynda Carter always treated the character with
respect and portrayed Wonder Woman with real warmth and humour), but
something more akin to Xena: Warrior Princess should find an audience.
After all, Wonder Woman had always been a warrior, and more so after
Perez re-launched her series back in the late 80s. Since then, Wonder
Woman has consistently been portrayed as a formidable warrior, able to
fight even a crazed Superman himself to a standstill. Although
compassionate, she is not hesitant to use deadly force when necessary.
She was lopping off the heads of gods and demons alike, for heaven's
sake, years before Xena appeared on our TV screens. Perez also brought
back with a vengeance Wonder Woman's strong ties to classical Greek
mythology. As a matter of fact, Sam Raimi must have ripped off Wonder
Woman when he created Xena. Wonder Woman is one of DC Comics' three
flagship characters to have survived all the way from her creation in
the early 40s right down to the present. Done properly, a Wonder Woman
movie should be just as big a draw as a Batman or a Superman movie.
But, as usual, Warner Bros., the owner of DC Comics, dithers and
stumbles (only the recent Batman movies have been true commercial and
critical successes - even Superman Returns was really a dud) while
Marvel successfully milks its franchises like the X-men, Fantastic
Four, Ironman and Spiderman. Sigh ... at least there's the animated
feature to look forward to ...
I've already seen a preview of Wonder Woman from the Gotham Knight DVD,
but here's an honest-to-goodness trailer. As you can see, this appears
to draw pretty heavily on the George Perez reboot of the character in
the mid-1980s. Which is good, since that's probably the best run of the
character, prior to Gail Simone's current run.
TV Guide
reports that Keri Russell is indeed the star of the February 2009
animated DVD movie Wonder Woman, the next in a series from Warner Bros.
and DC Comics following last Tuesday's release of Batman: Gotham Knight.
The
plot of the movie is based on George Perez' 1987 "Gods and Mortals"
arc. The film, which will be released in February 2009, stars Keri
Russell as Wonder Woman and will be directed by Lauren Montgomery. It
will also feature Russell's Waitress costar Nathan Fillion as Steve
Trevor, as well as Alfred Molina, Rosario Dawson, and Virginia Madsen.
Waitress co-stars Keri Russell & Nathan Fillion reunite for the next DC animated DVD flick Wonder Woman.
In Wonder Woman, the fourth animated DVD movie from Warner Bros. and DC Comics, Keri Russell (Felicity) voices Princess Diana, the Amazonian superhero.

The newly-released Gotham Knight DVD offers a 10-minute Wonder Woman featurette, which reveals the film’s writer to be Michael Jelenic (The Batman, Legion of Super Heroes).
Wonder Woman is planned for a February 2009 DVD release.

En este escenario, el largometraje de Wonder Woman verá la luz en febrero de 2009. En esta ocasión, por supuesto, los cerebros creativos se basarán en la versión post Crisis, con el replanteamiento que hizo en 1987 George Pérez.
La actriz encargada de dar vida a la princesa Diana será Keri Russell.
Acá está en poster del film y algunos diseños que seguirán la línea
