The Hollywood Reporter has released information that Warner Bros. Pictures and Silver Pictures are buying a “Wonder Woman” script that is not written by Joss Whedon.
Nearly two years ago Whedon had signed up to write and direct the Wonder Woman movie.

So why does the studio want another “Wonder Woman” script? Sources said the purchase is a pre-emptive measure aimed at taking the spec off the market to protect itself against the possibility that any similarities between the scripts could be fodder for future legal action. It is understood that the Jennison-Strickland script is set against the backdrop of World War II, while Whedon’s script is set in the present day.

Silver has no interest in making a period “Wonder Woman,” sources said. But as the spec script made the rounds, it landed at Silver Pictures, and executives there were impressed by Jennison and Strickland’s writing.
