This past summer, Wonder Woman conquered the box office and became one of the biggest hits of the year. That’s a testament to the talent of director Patty Jenkins, actress Gal Gadot, and the rest of the cast, as well as the entire team behind the movie. In just under a month, their collaboration is heading to Blu-ray, and an advance behind-the-scenes video has been released that chronicles the making of Wonder Woman‘s first epic battle scene.
Entertainment Weekly posted the video, which features Jenkins explaining the context of Wonder Woman’s first encounter with the German army. As related by Jenkins, “The beach battle was defined by one thing, which is Diana’s point of view. She has grown up with this idyllic, romantic idea of these Amazons all around her and battle and training. And she wants to be one of them. She’s seen them train in a very fair and organized way, where they all fight, and there are rules.â€
The video also includes a few clips of Jenkins directing Gadot and her co-star, Chris Pine, as they navigate the brutal battle between the Germans and the Amazons. Jenkins gets particularly animated as she calls out the play-by-play for Gadot and Pine, so that they know what to react to and when. Jenkins’ enthusiasm for the film is definitely felt in those moments, and it’s worth watching just to hear Jenkins provide her own sound effects for Gadot and Pine.
Wonder Woman will be released on Blu-ray and DVD on Tuesday, September 19. But if you don’t want to wait that long, the film will be released on digital this Tuesday, August 29.
