I guess it’s finally happening and hopefully, the Zack Snyder cult fans will be pleased that their #ReleaseTheSnyderCut campaign can end.

The problem with this is that the “Snyder Cut” does not exist as some of the fans think it does.

WB will be spending millions to take the excess footage, raw CGI idea, and reshoots along with new footage to *create* the Snyder Cut.

I’ll watch this just to see how wild this is because Snyder is alleged to including Darkseid, Green Lantern, and Martian Manhunter.

Lastly, now that WB has given into the #ReleaseTheSnyderCut people how many other Director’s Cut versions of movies will see wide release? What was once reserved for the DVD extras could now become commonplace.

It is currently unclear what form Snyder’s Justice League will take. 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.

Also unclear is the cost of the endeavor. One source has pegged the effort in the $20 million range, although another source says that figure could be closer to $30 million. The parties involved had no comment.

In January 2017, Snyder had what he considered his optimal version of Justice League, almost four hours long, although he knew it was something the studio would not release. Warners wanted a cut in the two-hour range, and he delivered a rough version with an approximate two-hour, 20-minute running time. That was the first cut the studio saw. Both sides agreed that there was much work still to be done before the November release, but tragedy struck the Snyders when their daughter, Autumn, died by suicide. A month and a half later, Snyder officially stepped away and Whedon was brought in.

Forget that the version that fans wanted technically didn’t exist. What did exist was a semi-unfinished work, with no visual effects, no postproduction. One person who had seen that version described it like a car with no panels, just a drivetrain and some seats. And it sat on a hard drive in the Snyders’ house. “When we left the movie, I just took the drive of the cut on it,” says Snyder. “I honestly never thought it would be anything.”
