Happy Monday
The first silver screen movie starring Wonder Woman is, yes, doing wonderfully with audiences and critics alike.
Actually, to be blunt, Wonder Woman is kicking some serious ass in movie theaters across the country world!
“With $100.5 million in North America and an additional $122.5 million internationally, Patty Jenkins’ Wonder Woman can boast the biggest-ever opening weekend for a film directed by a woman, Variety reports.”
–Kaitlyn Tiffany, The Verge, June 5, 2017
Gal Gadot (Diana Prince/Wonder Woman) was the scene stealer in 2016s Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. Ms. Gadot proved she could hang alongside Batman and Superman. Now, she is proving she can handle the big screen all by herself.
A super statement in more ways than one.
In Wonder Woman, Ms. Gadot shows off her skills and natural characteristics of a superhero capable of shining in the brightest cinematic spotlight and, more importantly, in the cultural spotlight for women and young girls. And to celebrate the historic opening weekend, let’s listen to the epic theme song for Wonder Woman written and produced by the brilliant musicial composer Hans Zimmer from Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice.
The specific title of the Wonder Woman theme above is, “Is She with You?”
No, she’s with all of us.

The Maverick of Nostalgic Sequels?
In part thanks to nostalgia and in part thanks to The Goldbergs, the 1980s are alive and well in the year 2017.
Need an example?
A sequel to the 1986 fan-favorite Top Gun has just been confirmed by, yes, Maverick Tom Cruise. Not only that, but Mr. Cruise revealed more intrguing tidbits about this forthcoming Top Gun follow-up…
This new Top Gun film is exciting for a few reasons:
- The creative team behind Top Gun will takes its stab at producing a successfully satisfying sequel attempt to a popular movie from the 1980s.
- Tom Cruise isn’t slowing down when it comes to taking on daring action movies with plenty of death-defying stunts.
- Top Gun is getting a sequel!
We’re all feeling the need, the need for a speedy production schedule for Top Gun: Maverick.

There are movies. There are films. And then there are life-altering experiences.
This blog post is a wonderful medium to dive deep into speculation surrounding a future must-see movie with integrity and imagination. However, this blog is equally self-aware (the writer, not the “blog”) of when a video can create a greater impact and/or be a great partner with words. As a former student of broadcasting, as well as a current student in a sense of evolving media in the ever-changing 21st century, visuals can provide deeply impressionable insight into a certain topic or individual.
In today’s case, a particular actor said all that needed to be said.
Enter Keanu Reeves when he recently discussed arguably his greatest series of films (no, not the complicated ones with the red and blue pills) and the very real next step of developing a monumental comeback for an iconic character that has and will stand the test of time.
The world universe thanks you, Ted.
Well, not yet…
