The movie that some fans still believe will never happen is moving along at a good pace, with a writer now close to being officially on board Wonder Woman. Pan scribe Jason Fuchs is in talks to write the screenplay according to The Hollywood Reporter, and director Michelle MacLaren will apparently work closely with him on the drafts. She's also directing of course, and has a very impressive track record which includes the likes of Breaking Bad and Game of Thrones. Fuchs other credits include Ice Age: Continental Drift and Big Thunder. Gal Gadot is attached to star and the movie is set to be released on July 17th, 2017. The first trailer for Pan was met with a mixed response, but the studio must have liked what they saw to give the writer such a high profile and important gig! The site also mentions that he's working on a sequel to that as well.
