“You probably saw one-fourth of what I did,” the director notes, basing his judgment on what has been shared with him of Whedon’s version.īefore Emmerich came calling, says Snyder, “I always thought it was a thing that in 20 years, maybe somebody would do a documentary and I could lend them the footage, little snippets of a cut no one has ever seen.”īut, adds Deborah, “With the new platform and streaming services, you can have something like this. “It will be an entirely new thing, and, especially talking to those who have seen the released movie, a new experience apart from that movie,” Snyder tells T he Hollywood Reporter, noting that, to this day, he has not watched the version released in theaters. One source has pegged the effort in the $20 million range, although another source says that figure could be closer to $30 million. Whether it will be released as an almost four-hour director’s cut or split into six “chapters” has yet to be decided, but the Snyders are now in the midst of reassembling much of their original postproduction crew to score, cut, add new and finish old visual effects, and, yes, maybe bring back many of the actors to record additional dialogue.Īlso unclear is the cost of the endeavor.
It is currently unclear what form Snyder’s Justice League will take. And that it will be coming to HBO Max, the WarnerMedia digital streaming service launching May 27, and is expected to debut in 2021.
The answer to Emmerich’s question, a whispered-about secret for months, was revealed Wednesday when Snyder confirmed, at the end of an online screening of his 2013 movie, Man of Steel, that his version of Justice League was indeed real. Would you guys ever consider doing something?” was what Emmerich was asking, Zack Snyder recalls. Pictures, was acknowledging the movement, and more importantly, was willing to accede. So here, the morning after, was their agent saying that Toby Emmerich, chairman of Warner Bros. And on the film’s second anniversary, the hashtag had its biggest day ever - with even the movie’s stars Gal Gadot and Ben Affleck adding their voices on Twitter. In the time since its release, something unusual happened: A growing movement of fans, rallied by the hashtag #ReleasetheSnyderCut, had called, agitated, petitioned - even bought a Times Square billboard and chartered a plane to fly a banner over Comic-Con - for Snyder’s version to be released. But more importantly, it was the day after the second anniversary of the release of Justice League, the DC superhero movie that Snyder was forced to exit due to a family emergency, which was then substantially reshot and retooled by replacement director Joss Whedon. Let’s be a bit more precise: It was 7 a.m. It was very early on a Monday morning in November when director Zack Snyder and his wife and producing partner, Deborah Snyder, received a call from their agent.
