Three years after the release of the theatrical cut of Justice League, fans are eager to finally see director Zack Snyder’s cut of the film when it hits HBO Max in March. But when Snyder was first approached by Warner Bros. about letting his cut see the light of day, their original offer was less than enticing to the Man of Steel director.
In an extremely well-reported story over at Vanity Fair, details of Snyder’s experience making Justice League and the release of Zack Snyder’s Justice League come into full view, and it’s not entirely unsurprising to learn that when Warner Bros. finally started considering the “Release the Snyder Cut” cries on social media, they wanted to do it as cheaply as possible.
The VF story reveals that prior to the death of Snyder’s daughter, he was already coming to serious creative disagreements with the studio about the direction of his Justice League movie. After the negative reaction to Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, WB dispatched two executives to the set of Justice League to try and inject some humor and lighten the tone of the piece. And after viewing Snyder’s four-hour assembly cut of the film in early 2017, the studio enlisted Joss Whedon to write new scenes that both he and Snyder would direct.
Snyder reveals in the VF piece that after his daughter’s tragic death, fighting with a studio over a movie seemed somewhat trivial, so he took his laptop with the unfinished four-hour cut of the film on it and quit the production. Whedon ended up directing significant reshoots that, much to WB’s chagrin, didn’t make the movie better, and the film hit theaters as one of the most instantly forgettable superhero movies in recent memory.
