Wonder Woman Short Film [VIDEO] Production Company Wants To Take Two Minute YouTube Upload To Full-Length Movie

Wonder Woman short film uploaded to YouTube could possibly lead to future full-length movie of the D.C. published comic star.

The short film entitled "Wonder Woman," a short by Rainfall films was a 2:36 short-movie starring Rileah Vanderbilt. It was produced by Jesse Soff and directed by Sam Balcomb.

This short film has garnered high praise from fans that want more, and the possibility of a full-length film of Wonder Woman could soon be in the works.

Rainfall Films, a Los Angeles production company, announced at Comic-Con it would produce the film. It was released on YouTube this week.

 "We spent the majority of 2013 working on this - the look, the feel, the aspects we most wanted to portray," director Sam Balcomb said on the YouTube posting. "It's a scant two and half minutes, but in the end, it's one hundred and fifty seconds of pure fantasy, where I get to consider the two sides of my favorite warrior: a crusader in man's world, and a paragon of virtue told through Greek mythology."

Dating back to 1942 when she made her first appearance in a comic, her depiction as a heroine fighting for justice, love, peace, and sexual equality has also led to Wonder Woman being widely considered a feminist icon.

Wonder Woman is a warrior princess of the Amazons (based on the Amazons of Greek mythology) and is known in her homeland as Princess Diana of Themyscira. When outside her homeland incognito, she is known as Diana Prince, a secret identity with credentials and identity bought from an Army nurse named Diana White who went to South America and married her fiance. She is gifted with a wide range of superhuman powers and superior combat and battle skills. She also possesses an arsenal of weapons, including the Lasso of Truth, a pair of indestructible bracelets, a tiara which serves as a projectile, and, in some stories, an invisible airplane.

There hasn't been a full-length live-action film since the 1970s and with the continued popularity of superhero movies, it might just be a matter of time before the female hits movie screens everywhere.

Joss Whedon, who tried to get a "Wonder Woman" movie made, doesn't think the character works on TV, even though that's where she gained mainstream popularity. "I don't think she lends herself to television. I think she only works on an epic scale," he tells EW. "I saw a bit of the David E. Kelley [pilot]. That was not a good marriage." However, his feature also was unable to pick up enough steam to get made, which leads many to believe the character is problematic.
