Wonder Woman Fan Film Prompts Desire For A Hollywood Edition [VIDEO]
Hollywood has produced and reproduced superhero films for the last ten years. Spiderman, Superman and the Hulk have had two lives each. Batman has been constantly and tirelessly revamped. The X-Men saga has been spilled into a new generation, featuring origin stories and different classes. Iron Man, Thor and the clan from The Avengers have all benefited from being independently and collaboratively represented on the big screen. Yet, Hollywood has failed to show interest in producing DC Comic's Wonder Woman.
Yesterday, an independent Los Angeles production company, Rainfall Films released a Wonder Woman fan film, and 48 hours after its delivery, it has received nearly 3 million hits on YouTube.
The brief, slow-motion viral video shows a lasso-toting Wonder Woman doing hand-to-hand combat with gun-wielding buffoons in a city setting; and, later, conquering the likes of an over-sided monster with only a spear, in her Amazonian hometown, Themyscira with the assistance of toga clad female warriors.
Rainfall Films produced the viral video, exposing Woman Woman's ability to become a screen great. The production company spent a better part of the 2013 working on the short, which starred Rileah Vanderbilt. While the video's direction and stellar visual effects were executed by Sam Balcomb, the entire Rainfall team contributed in the development and design.
The five-year-old company has worked on media content, commercials, music videos, and short films. And, they have a blossoming list of clientele, having done production and effects for Pitbull, Steven Tyler and Gloria Estesfan.
Hollywood's doubt about producing a superhero film with a female in the lead undoubtedly is a result of cinematic flops like Cat Woman and Elektra. Though, it should be stated that those who are in the Wonder Woman fandom have been requesting a Wonder Woman film for years, some even proposing that Megan Fox take on that role.
