'Wonder Woman' director hits back at anonymous letter writer
Patty Jenkins isn't happy about an anonymous letter writer's not-so-nice comments about her upcoming Wonder Woman movie.
The director took to Twitter in a righteous rage on Friday after an open letter written by a purported former Warner Bros. employee to studio CEO Kevin Tsujihara started to circulate. The letter's author specifically targets Wonder Woman as part of a larger takedown of Warner's DC Comics movies so far.
Here's the relevant excerpt:

What are you even doing? I wish to God you were forced to live out of a car until you made a #1 movie of the year. Maybe Wonder Woman wouldn't be such a mess. Don't try to hide behind the great trailer. People inside are already confirming it's another mess. It is almost impressive how you keep rewarding the same producers and executives for making the same mistakes, over and over.
Jenkins is having none of it. The director rightly took issue with the letter's unsubstantiated claims, and a willingness among some in the media to cover something that has such a shaky foundation.

Go get 'em, Patty. Warner Bros. may not be winning many fans right now with Suicide Squad, but Wonder Woman is your movie. It deserves to be judged on its own merits, and only after it's finished.
