Following the poor performance of the Jodie Foster-starring
The Brave One and the Nicole Kidman vehicle
The Invasion, Warner Bros. President of production has made the decree that "We are no longer doing movies with women in the lead," writes Nikki Finke at
Deadline Hollywood.
Finke writes: 'This comes to me from three different producers, so I know it's real.'
With the policy now being that every film produced by Warner Bros. must have a male lead, the future of a
Wonder Woman movie looks grim indeed. While it cannot be argued that the woman-starring
Elektra and
Catwoman both left much to be desired, it seems utterly foolish to think that Warner Bros. would pass on making a long in-development film about one of DC Comic's most iconic characters due to this new policy.

how good could a movie like that possibly be, anyway?
wonder woman aside, the female lead thing doesnt play into my reasoning for whether or not to go see a movie, so i think its a bullshit policy.
Panic Room?
Silence Of The Lambs?
Charlie's Angels movies?
Tomb Raider?
okay, so maybe the last 2 are not great movies, but they made money. Point being that there is a market, so why are they denying it?
