Annapurna Pictures to start beating the drum for its impending Wonder Woman creator biopic.

An official teaser for Professor Marston and the Wonder Women is currently screening with select prints of Wonder Woman in theaters as a result, in addition to being online for everyone to watch (see the video above). Annapurna’s Professor Marston teaser is very short and is composed of little more than dialogue over a black screen, save for the brief bit of footage at the end. That same teaser dialogue is featured as part of the Professor Marston teaser site that went live late last week, complete with a comic book version of the film’s scene from which said dialogue – a terse conversation between Dr. Marston and two other characters, including Connie Britton (Nashville) as Marston’s superior – is partially lifted. You can check out said scene in graphic novel form, below: Professor Marston and the Wonder Woman was written and directed by Angela Robinson, an accomplished filmmaker who is no stranger to stories that deal with LGBTQI issues and relationships; having previously helmed both the original short and feature- length action/comedy film D.

E. B. S., in addition to having directed several episodes of the Showtime touchstone TV show The L Word. The story behind Professor Marston – both the sociopolitical controversy that surrounded the creation of the Wonder Woman character and the relationships with two of the most important women (as well as their relationships with one another) in his life that heavily influenced Dr. Marston – makes for ripe subject matter and is very much in Robinson’s wheelhouse, as a storyteller. Although Professor Marston has yet to get an official theatrical release date (something that should change very soon), it only makes sense for Annapurna to release the biopic in theaters this year, in the wake of Wonder Woman making her solo movie debut on the big screen.

The Megan Ellison- backed Annapurna is already well- revered for promoting a diverse array of filmmaking voices and this year alone, the studio will release multiple noteworthy movies directed by women (see Ana Lily Amirpour’s The Bad Batch and Kathryn Bigelow’s Detroit), in addition to Robinson’s biopic. That is to say, Professor Marston is in good hands on all fronts. We will let you know when Professor Marston and the Wonder Women lands an official release date. Source: Annapurna Pictures.

There would soon, he told her, be another member of the household. Watch New Fantastic Beasts And Where To Find Them (2016) Online. One of his students, a pretty young woman named Olive Byrne, would be coming to live with them. Not as a lodger, but a lover. And if Betty did not like it, he would leave her. One can only imagine what Wonder Woman – the comic- book superhero that Marston went on to create – might have done to a man who brought home a younger mistress and demanded either a divorce or a menage a trois. But in real life, Marston’s wife complied.

Now that happy threesome would become the basis of a free love cult, where they took on the titles Love Leader, Mistress and Love Girl, and where nudity, dominance and submission were demanded in a closely typed 9. So it is a touch ironic, perhaps, that Marston, who created Wonder Woman as a feminist icon, and claimed that the comic strips were, . Perhaps as a result of his female- oriented upbringing, he became an early supporter of women’s rights and their advancement in the workplace. In fact, he believed women were superior to men and that one day they would rule the world.

Studying law and then psychology at Harvard University, Marston amazed his professors with his brilliance, and married his childhood sweetheart Sadie Elizabeth Holloway, whom he renamed Betty, in 1. Unusual: Olive Ann Marston (centre) sits next to William Moulton Marston who is also seated She, too, was highly intelligent, a committed feminist and a qualified lawyer and psychologist. Nonetheless, she allowed Marston to pass off her ground- breaking research on the psychology of deception as his own. It was, in part, her observation that her blood pressure rose whenever she was angry or excited that led her husband to devise a prototype for lie detector machines. But rather than merely detecting frauds and liars, Marston used his invention to measure women’s erotic arousal when they watched romantic films, concluding that brunettes were friskier than blondes. The American military later adapted the machine for interrogating spies and prisoners of war. But the first suggestion that this was not to be a conventional marriage came in 1.

Betty was pregnant and Marston brought home a young colleague, Marjorie Huntley, a divorcee who believed in . Marjorie, he informed Betty, would be living with them as a lover.

And so began a happy on- off threesome. Yet if Betty hoped this departure would curb her husband’s extraordinary sexual appetite, she was sadly mistaken – and was devastated when her husband introduced her to the boyish, well- connected Olive Byrne. He wanted her to become the fourth member of their sexual quartet and a permanent member of the unorthodox family, compared to the more on- off arrangement with Marjorie. Byrne belonged to a generation of ambitious women who enjoyed an androgynous look and a quite unashamed appetite for sex. Avant- garde in her views, she was the niece of America’s birth control pioneer Margaret Sanger, the long- term love of H. Wells, whose radical writing and speeches had fired Marston’s own staunchly feminist opinions and by extension, his imagining of Wonder Woman.

When Marston, by then 3. Tufts in 1. 92. 5, Byrne became his . She was drawn to her handsome professor and took him along to an extraordinary sorority party at which girls dressed as babies were blindfolded and bound while fellow female students made them carry out tasks or hit them with sticks.

Olive come to live with them permanently.

Betty embarked upon a six- hour walk to think about it, before eventually agreeing to this demand – hoping that she could turn Olive’s presence to her advantage. She insisted that Olive should bring up any children, leaving her to carry on with her career as an editor of academic publications. And so it was that she, Marston, Olive and the bondage- loving Marjorie – together with several others – formed an . The women themselves seem to have been quite happy. Marston was unemployed for most of the 1. Betty returned to work as the main breadwinner, while Olive stayed at home to look after them as well as her own two children fathered by Marston. The outside world was not quite ready for such a bohemian set- up, so Marston told people that Olive was his sister- in- law, while she claimed that she was a widow, working as the family’s housekeeper.

In 1. 93. 5, in a bid to regularise this very irregular arrangement, Marston and Betty legally adopted Olive’s children, setting up home in a rambling house in Rye, New York, with a cherry orchard and 4. The children were also told Olive’s husband was dead. They didn’t necessarily believe it, but in public they maintained the family fiction.

As Betty later explained to them, envisaging what went on in their love cult . Family albums from the time show their babies are dandled on knees, there are picnics and garden games and even a shot of Betty and Olive hooked up to Marston’s lie- detector machine. Marston proved himself a devoted, inspiring and affectionate father but his career was still shambolic, with Betty bringing in the money. Even Olive added to their income with occasional articles for supermarket magazine Family Circle, giving tips on how to create a wholesome family home, all the while living in circumstances that her readers would have regarded as highly immoral. She would regularly quote Marston as an expert on child psychology. It was thanks to one such article that Marston became involved with the world of superheroes. He had praised the effect of the golden age of comic books on America’s children, and was quickly recruited by DC Comics as a consultant.

The timing was perfect. It was 1. 94. 1 and they had been stung by criticism that Superman seemed somewhat . She was a hit from the beginning, the embodiment of all Marston’s physical and intellectual ideals. The cover of a vintage Wonder. Woman comic book shows the character as she first appeared to the public. According to her son, the female superhero was Betty’s idea, something she always denied.

But there is no doubt that Wonder Woman’s feisty character owes much to Betty. Expressions, such as . She is winched into a straitjacket, from head to toe. Her eyes and mouth are taped shut.

She is locked in a bank vault. She’s tied to railroad tracks.

She’s pinned to a wall. A TV series starring Lynda Carter followed, which enjoyed reruns through the until the early 2. Then last year Gadot portrayed her for a new generation when she appeared alongside other DC superheroes in the blockbuster Batman V Superman: Dawn Of Justice, which in turn paved the way for the first standalone Wonder Woman film. It is now 7. 0 years since Marston’s death from cancer in 1. Olive and Betty remained happily together, raising their children and pursuing their careers until Olive died in 1.

Marjorie Huntley was a regular visitor until the end. Marston would no doubt have been pleased too, that his whip- cracking heroine, Wonder Woman, has endured, embodying his love of what he considered to be the stronger, wiser sex – even if his admiration of them took a bizarre form. As Sheldon Mayer, Marston’s ever- patient Wonder Woman editor, once observed of his views on women: . One was never enough.’.
