The director of the upcoming DC superhero film "Wonder Woman" denied claims that the movie is "a mess."

"Woah, just saw this press about WW having problems. Are they serious? This is some made up bs right here. Made up! Produce a source, anyone," director Patty Jenkins wrote on Twitter.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Jenkins was referring to an open letter addressed to Warner Bros. CEO Kevin Tsujihara, written by someone who claims to be a former employee of the company.  It was posted on Pajiba on Aug. 11, bearing the byline Gracie Law.

Titled "An Open Letter to Warner Bros CEO Kevin Tsujihara About Layoff, Zack Snyder, and Donuts," the letter seems to be accusing the movie studio of unfairness, with the likes of director Zack Snyder ("Man of Steel," "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice") allegedly being given more opportunity while employees are getting laid off.    

"The top screws up and the bottom suffers," the letter reads in part.

Near the end, the disgruntled writer claims that people inside the company are "already confirming" that "Wonder Woman" is another mess, and he or she wonders why Warner Bros. keeps on "rewarding" the same top people for "making the same mistakes."

In a series of tweets, Jenkins said that someone is attempting to spread misinformation and that it's entirely false. She reminded everyone not to believe the hype, and that none of the people who are involved have called the upcoming film "a mess." She's optimistic that the letter will eventually be proven as false. 

"Wonder Woman" stars Gal Gadot as the Amazon princess aka Diana Prince and Chris Pine as fighter pilot Steve Trevor.  It will be shown in theaters starting June 2, 2017.  

Here is the movie's Comic Con trailer:
