Refn is obsessed with Wonder Woman

Drive is getting all sorts of love. I particularly loved Bronson, but while Nicolas Winding Refn is gearing up for his Logan’s Run remake, he just cannot stop talking about Wonder Woman.

“I think my whole fetish and my interest in Wonder Woman came from three or four years ago,” Refn said. “My daughter got obsessed with the Wonder Woman television show. The old, ’70s version. I would watch them back to back with her and really enjoyed them immensely. And I’ve always been fascinated by her as a character. I’m not a knowledgeable comic fanatic, as a lot of other people are. But I was very fascinated by a woman of power. And I couldn’t come [up] with any other great role models for my daughter to, say, ‘That’s a woman.’ Besides her mother. So I started getting wholly, completely obsessed about Wonder Woman and saying, ‘I’ve got to make her as a movie. I’ve got to make my take on it.’ And then I met a comic book writer who told me the origins about her, which was very fascinating and I began to see that myself and the creator of her probably had the same fetish of women. And then I knew that I had to make this film… if it ever gets made.”

Warner Bros. said if Logan’s Run is successful, then Wonder Woman is his. Thoughts?
