While she's busy figuring out her deal for the Wonder Woman sequel (which, if we're honest, should just involve Warner Bros. backing a dump truck of money up to her house), director Patty Jenkins is working on other things. But she is at least including one Wonder element, as Chris Pine will star for her in TV miniseries One Day She'll Darken.
US cable network TNT announced at the summer Television Critics Association tour that it is handing Jenkins the six-episode show, which will be based on the autobiography of Fauna Hodel, a woman who was given up when she was born. Her teenage mother handed her off to a black toilet attendant at a Nevada hotel in 1949. When she grew up, Hodel began to dig into her past and discovered her connection to infamous Hollywood doctor George Hodel, who was connected to the Black Dahlia murder. A suspect at the time, he was never formerly charged and it was only after his death that his LAPD detective son, Steve Hodel accused his father of that and several murders.
Pine is aboard to play Jay Singletary, an ex-Marine who worked as a paparazzi at the time and saw himself disgraced by the Dr. Hodel story but looks for redemption in Fauna's tale.
One Day She'll Darken was written by Jenkins' husband, Sam Sheridan and she'll kick off shooting in the autumn. Wonder Woman 2, meanwhile, has locked in a December 2019 release.
