About Wonder Woman

Before she was Wonder Woman, she was Diana, princess of the Amazons, trained to be an unconquerable warrior.  Raised on a sheltered island paradise, when an American pilot crashes on their shores and tells of a massive conflict raging in the outside world, Diana leaves her home, convinced she can stop the threat.  Fighting alongside man in a war to end all wars, Diana will discover her full powers…and her true destiny. 

Wonder Woman hit movie theaters around the world June 2, 2017, when Gal Gadot returned as the title character in the epic action adventure Wonder Woman.  The film also stars Chris Pine, Robin Wright, Danny Huston, David Thewlis, Connie Nielsen and Elena Anaya.

Patty Jenkins directed the film from a screenplay by Allan Heinberg, story by Zack Snyder & Allan Heinberg and Jason Fuchs, based on characters from DC Entertainment.  Wonder Woman was created by William Moulton Marston.  The film was produced by Charles Roven, Zack Snyder, Deborah Snyder and Richard Suckle, with Stephen Jones, Geoff Johns, Wesley Coller, Jon Berg and Rebecca Steel Roven serving as executive producers.

Warner Bros. Pictures presents, in association with Tencent Pictures and Wanda Pictures, an Atlas Entertainment/Cruel and Unusual production, Wonder Woman.  The film is distributed worldwide by Warner Bros. Pictures, a Warner Bros. Entertainment Company. www.wonderwomanfilm.com

CIRQUE DU SOLIEL BUYS BLUE MAN

Cirque du Soleil, the private equity-backed entertainment company famed for its contortionists and acrobats, is acquiring musical act the Blue Man Group in a genre-bending deal.

The acquisition of New York-based Blue Man Productions is the first step in Cirque’s plan to diversify its productions and expand globally, Chief Executive Officer Daniel Lamarre said in an interview. The deal is valued in the tens of millions of dollars, he said, without being more specific.

“Our strategy for the future is very, very clear,” Lamarre said. “We want to become a leader, global leader, of live entertainment.”

TPG, the San Francisco and Fort Worth-based private equity firm, acquired Cirque du Soleil in 2015 in a deal that Moody’s Investors Service valued at $1.5 billion. Cirque’s founder, Guy Laliberte, still holds a minority stake in the company.

Currently Cirque du Soleil shows account for 80 percent to 85 percent of the company’s revenue, with the rest coming from merchandising and other sources. In the future, Lamarre said he wants to bring that number down to 70 percent by continuing to expand and diversify.

The company’s portfolio will grow again in November through a partnership with the National Football League. The NFL Experience Times Square will remain separate from the Cirque du Soleil brand, similar to the Blue Man Group. Cirque is also expanding into China with a touring show and a residency in Hangzhou.
