Our hopes of seeing a good Wonder Woman movie or series have been repeatedly dashed of late. David E. Kelley’s Wonder Woman TV show failed for obvious reasons. The CW was casting a Wonder Woman show called Amazon, but it’s been delayed for now. That leaves the Justice League movie, which has been having problems of its own. That’s where fledgling director Jesse V. Johnson comes in.
Jesse V. Johnson noticed the viral success of Kevin Tancharoen’s and Dan Trachtenberg’s short films. Tancharoen’s Mortal Kombat: Rebirth landed him TV and directing jobs, while Trachtenberg’s Portal: No Escape led to his hiring for Y The Last Man. Johnson, a stuntman and stunt coordinator, spent $3,500 and called in favors from talented friends to film the Wonder Woman action sequences he wanted to see.
In the video below, Danish singer Nina Bergman plays Wonder Woman, and she’s kicking some Nazi ass. You may recognize a couple of those Nazis. They’re Peter Stormare (Fargo, The Big Lebowski) and Timothy V. Murphy (Sons Of Anarchy).
I promise this version of Wonder Woman includes absolutely no pillow fights. Enjoy.

I saw this yesterday and thought turning Wonder Woman into the DC Captain America could be a good way of giving us the Band of Brothers style superhero film we all wanted, and by we, I mean I.
The straight-knee-to-the-chest and the rifle-stock-breaking-against-head shots were well done, and I’m pretty sure I’ve never seen either before.
That poster looks like a Wonder Woman-style Wolves Howling at the Moon T-Shirt.
Is that the “opulence, I has it” guy?

“Oppenführer, I has it!”
I like the storyline, but, she still needs to wear clothes and ideally have muscle on her. She looks like a twig.
Meh, I don’t like the fast/slo-mo fighting. It’s an affectation, an affectation I tells ya! Hire a stunt choreographer for god’s sake.
Also, Gina Carano for Wonder Woman.
I whole heartedly second that motion. Gina Carano or bust! (preferably both)..
meh, no pillow fights
I like the part where she is like “Screw this” and cuts lose with the MG-43.
