March 26, 2021 Director Zack Snyder Talks Making His Long-Awaited Recut Of “Justice League” And The True Inspiration Behind The Film
WarnerMedia Studios released DC’s “Justice League” back in 2017. Avengers Director Joss Whedon stepped in to finish the film after Zack Snyder departed the project. The release immediately spurred a years long social media campaign for the studio to release the film Snyder originally intended on making. The hashtag #ReleaseTheSnyderCut was born and began trending on Twitter. The studio finally answered fans’ calls and “Zack Snyder’s Justice League” is now on HBO Max. The four-hour long director's cut significantly expands on the story of superhero Cyborg. KPCC’s John Horn sat down with Snyder to talk about the long-awaited and highly anticipated recut, what made it all possible, who the true inspiration is behind the film and more.
