WB Has Six WONDER WOMAN Scripts Being Written Simultaneously?
Screenwriter and producer, Arash Amel, who wrote Erased and Grace of Monaco, claims to have some interesting intel regarding the Wonder Woman solo film set up at Warner Bros. According to what he knows, WB has hired six screenwriters to write six separate scripts for the film. The idea behind it would be for the studio to pick the best script or several elements from the scripts for Michelle MacLaren to direct.
Is this the best idea for WB to get the best possible Wonder Woman movie? I think it's kind of a messy way of doing things, and Amel also goes on a crazy rant about the way the studio is handling the film's development. He seems pretty pissed off, and you can read his series of tweets regarding it below.
Someone just told me six writers have been hired to simultaneously write six versions of Wonder Woman movie. WHAT?

Worrying trend of simultaneous dev on major franchises growing. This is wrong on so many levels.

— Arash Amel (@arashamel) December 18, 2014And what are we paying WGA for if not to stop unfair practices? Failed on 1-step deals. Failed on producer passes. Failing now. Pass.
