Wonder Woman Production
After much speculation, it was finally announced in 2010 by Warner Bros. that a Wonder Woman film was in production. After casting Gal Gadot as Diana, both fans and critics showed their concern about the selection merit however, Zack Snyder clarified that amongst all the other actresses, Gadot was undoubtedly the strongest, kindest, as well as the fiercest. In order to make the film live up to its hype, Patty Jenkins, along with Visual Effects Supervisor Bill Westenhofer, took roughly around 1800 VFX shots. These shots were then distributed amongst the partnering companies including MPC, Double Negative, Pixomondo, UPP, Platige, and Weta. The MPC team used advanced tools like Maya, Nuke, Zbrush, Houdini, Renderman to add effects and make use of the VFX shots.
The film’s main score was composed by Rupert Gregson-Williams and was released on 2nd June 2017, by WaterTower Music. The theme is a mixture of original vocals, combined with the theme song taken from the film Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice.
Wonder Woman was the film that put DC Entertainment back on track after the failure of Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice. The film was received with positive reviews as it eventually went on to gross over $821 million.
