Wonder Woman Short by Rainfall Films

Two and a Half Minutes of Awesome Amazon Action

I think we all agree that Warner Bros.' reason why there isn't or hasn't been a Wonder Woman movie is because it's somehow "tricky" is complete and utter nonsense. Especially when there are far more courageous independent filmmakers out in the world willing to devote their time and energy in making shorts and trailers with their interpretation of the Amazon princess. Director Sam Balcomb and actress/web series producer Rileah Vanderbilt have put together an action packed and stylized short featuring Vanderbilt as Wonder Woman.

She takes on a tactical group of combatants in the city and battles a giant on what looks to be Themyscira along her Amazon sisters. So it doesn't appear to be that tricky at all. It just takes a vision and the intestinal fortitude to follow through. Warner Bros. made that atrocity that was 'Catwoman' and had the courage to attach their name to it so they're not averse at taking risk. How about they come clean and set the world on fire by stating in public that a Wonder Woman movie is on it's way? 

Balcomb/Vanderbilt and company have given us a Zack Snyder-like approach to a WW woman and it looks fantastic. Proves once again WW deserves an epic film and if WB won't man up and make it there are filmmakers more than willing to show the trick is on WB. 

"Firstly, thanks for watching. Whether you like, or dislike, our live action interpretation of Diana of Themyscira, Wonder Woman, born of clay, I think (quite a few of) you will agree she is a character just as vital and crucial to our understanding of humanity as any other superhero... if not more so. 
We spent the majority of 2013 working on this -- the look, the feel, the aspects we most wanted to portray. It's a scant two and half minutes, but in the end, it's one hundred and fifty seconds of pure fantasy, where I get to consider the two sides of my favorite warrior: a crusader in man's world, and a paragon of virtue told through Greek mythology. 
It's a fun world to hang out in. I hope you enjoy it." 
- Sam Balcomb (Director)
