Ahead of the release of the “Snyder Cut” of Justice League, Zack Snyder has shared some new insights into his work on the re-cut version of the film. Among other details, he shared that he isn’t being paid to create this version of the movie, nor has he ever seen the original theatrical version of Justice League.
This was shared as part of a new Vanity Fair profile, which is bursting with new insights that will likely be revelatory for hardcore and fair-weather fans alike–including the fact that the persistent rumors that Snyder himself asked Joss Whedon for help finishing the film were false. Instead, says Snyder, at the time he tried to make the best of a bad situation and remained optimistic that “maybe he could write cool scenes. I thought that would be fun.” And as it turns out, Snyder–at his wife Deborah’s (who produced the film) insistence–he has never seen the version Whedon made.
