Justice League Zack Snyder Directing Justice League (The Snyder Cut Edition)

[kguillou]

I'm going to predict that Snyder will close out his directing day with DC film by giving us a definitive ending to his DC film series, MOS, BvS & JL. He may have enough footages in addition to some new shooting to craft an ending with Darkseid -- albeit in a speed-up version similar to the Knightmare sequence in BvS.

I agree, the hardcore fans are adamant that JL 2 and 3 are coming but I think Snyder’s hedging his bets here. Would he like to so more? Im sure. But hes got this once in a lifetime opportunity, HBO’s throwing money at him to do whatever tf he wants so i think hes getting as many of his ideas out of his system as possible.

 

[moviefreak]

Thing is, I'm not sure if just a week of additional filming would be enough to accommodate all of that.

I'm hedging a bet that Snyder is actually incorporating some elements of JL II & JL III in his JL. He must have filmed a lot of materials & canned them around the time of G Johns rewrite.

 

[matt47]

On the contrary, I could see Zack saying screw it and continue things with Ayer’s design for continuity purposes.

This is honestly the most likely way this goes. Zack loves his continuity and he loves his fellow directors.

 

[moviefreak]

Henry Cavill is filming The Witcher S2.

Gal Gadot, the Rock & Ryan Reynolds are filming Red Notice.

So who're in Snyder JL additional filming apart from Jared Leto?

Affleck? Momoa? Fisher? Miller? Lennix?

Yeah I feel the same. Maybe he gets to make more, and he can just expand on these new scenes he’s shooting. But I’m sure he knows he may not get that chance. He’s told fans before that it’s best to put everything on the table.

After today’s news, I’m certainly getting the feeling that Snyder putting everything into this probably means he’s looking to go out with a bang. Sure there could be more if it’s successful, but this feels like him drawing up his best play with like 3 seconds on the clock.

Yeah, no question. He's going ALL in!

 

[shauner111]

And yet most ppl think this means “it’s all set up material for the future!”. Not necessarily. The article says the Leto scenes tie JL to Ayer’s Suicide Squad. So to me it could just be that Zack wants to tie up the scenes he set up in BvS related to Robin/Joker. Which we now know from Ayer that Batman says **** to Harley about how Joker took Robin away from him. There’s a thread from BvS to SS to JL. I don’t think it’s a Knightmare sequence at all.

Sorry but nothing is going to put lipstick on the pig that was Letoker. He was awful, and there is no version of him that is in continuity with SS that is going to change that. It was a full on miss and that isnt cause of studio interference it was because it was a stupid interpretation of the character. Leto is a great actor and Joker is a great character but whoever was behind that craptastic version of the character should feel severe shame.

Adding this to the SC is deflating my excitement and if it is the Robin killing scene I honestly want no part of it. There are some things that I think Snyder shouldn't touch and that is 100% one of them. First of all he will be killing Dick Grayson which is annoying as hell, second it wont have the gravitas it needs it will just be overly violent and bloody but have none of the emotional resonance. Having Robin be dead and hinted at in BvS was fine because we saw how it affected Batfleck without the over the topness that would have been the death. I have no interest in watching a Robin Snuff Film and that is what it will turn out to be...

Everything about the SC has been exciting until this. HBO Max has a chance to wipe away the crap and refresh everything and they are bringing back easily the worst version of the Joker ever for what we can only assume is a precursor to an Ayer Cut of SS. But unlike the Snyder Cut pretty much everyone knows what is in the Ayer Cut and it still sounds like a ridiculous mess.

Affleck, Fisher and Heard have also been confirmed. Possibly Momoa given Heard's involvement.

Don't try to predict anything this year, mate.

Gal is almost finished with Red Notice. My british cha tells me she starts on the Snyder Cut around November 16th. You don't have to drink this tea, bald man, just letting you know tis' brewing.

 

[KalvinEllis]

"Jon Berg and Geoff Johns, then-studio executives who oversaw the movie and the reshoot by Joss Whedon that was meant to salvage the failed movie, will not be receiving producer credits on the Snyder Cut, sources say."

Why would they be? They did not work on JL before Snyder left, stands to reason they won't be receiving producer credit for something they didn't participate in.

Johns did he helped write the script Snyder used for the movie when they made Snyder do a page one rewrite.

 

[Da-Scribe]

Yeah I was sure Johns got the producer credit during filming of JL.

 

[KalvinEllis]

Johns did he helped write the script Snyder used for the movie when they made Snyder do a page one rewrite.

The Snyder Cut isn't using that script, is it? I thought it's the original version they scrapped before they brought Johns and Berg in and Johns rewrote the script to accommodate Whedon's vision after the Snyder departure? Which is why they're filming additional scenes now that they didn't get to shoot before, since Snyder left and the rest of the story was changed? Or am I missing something, cause this is the first time I hear anything about Johns being involved with the script before Snyder left. I mean they were already filming JL when BvS came out, so you're telling me Johns was working on the JL script even before BvS was in theaters? How come he never got a writing credit for it then. He gets only a producer credit in the theatrical cut.

 

[Black Narcissus]

Eh, I trust Snyder with Leto. Hell, I at least know for sure we would've at least gotten a comic accurate Joker with him, visually speaking. I can also see Snyder keeping the same aesthetic cause he doesn't want to step on Ayer's shoes and make it ''better'' or whatnot. Leto is a good actor tho, which fanboys here and elsewhere can't see through their hate. Give Phoenix that same Skwad Joker material/look and he doesn't do any better either.

 

[DlAMONDZ]

A lot denial in here

The Snydeverse is coming. Might as well accept it at this point

They're certainly planting a lot of seeds, but I don't see them doubling down on Snyder until they see whether or not ZSJL brings in enough subscribers. Snyder is divisive, so they can't rely on wide appeal, they should test how strong his fanbase actually is first.

Alright, there seems to be confusion on this matter. Snyder/Terrio had a script ready to go when the reactions to BvS hit, lets call this one A. At the "suggestion" of the studio they rewrote this into A 2.0 before filming. During filming, Johns was on set and making rewrites (the infamous Terrio reaction of "maybe try to use some of my pages"), this is version B, most of the 214 cut is this one. Then Whedon comes along and does the TC, version C. What's happening here is that they started filming version A 2.0 WHILE rewriting it into B, so a lot of material has been filmed for both A 2.0 and B. Its pretty much clear for me at this point that ZSJL is going to be as close to A 2.0 as it gets, and I'd say the extra reshoots point to that.

So long story short, Johns was not involved in "A 2.0" before he helped turning it into "B", therefore he gets no producer credit for a movie that resembles "A 2.0". I still wonder how he never got a writing credit. He basically ghost wrote it after WB told them to make all the changes, so how come they didn't give him a co-writer credit for that.

Man good job explaining it.I feel like a lot of people on the web think we are getting "A" because Snyder said we are getting hid uncompromised version. But honestly no one knows for sure what he means by that.

Hm, so you think this additional photography is longer than a week? Could it several weeks worth? If thats the case then Snyder is DEFINITELY filming the original script and all bets are off.

 

[matt47]

We need some legit info on the additional photography from Snyder and Co.

 

[Comicbookguy339]

If the Joker is in I wonder whether it's a flashback to Robin's death and Batman punching Joker's teeth out?
