'Wonder Woman' director fights back against anonymous claims

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.

You can’t because it’s entirely false. Don’t believe the hype people. Someone’s trying to spread some serious misinfo.

Isn’t until you are intimately involved in these things that you realize how totally false these rumors can. Let me reassure you...

Zero about the movie we are making has been called a mess by anyone in the know. Fact.

Real lasso of truth, time, will reveal that letter to be false soon enough. But lame something so transparent in its agenda gets traction.

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.
