Zack Snyder Breaks Down His Career, from 'Watchmen' to 'Justice League' | Vanity Fair
Not everyone can say, "My friend Christopher Nolan called me and asked me if I'd like to make a Superman movie."
A movie director knows another movie director how special
@@bart-wt6yz i dont think you understand its not "a movie directer knows another movie director" its "Cristopher Nolan calling you and saying you should do that movie insted" now THAT is a thing not everyone can say.
@@bart-wt6yz it mean Nolan is a big name, if he wanted you to make a movie, meaning you are not just a average director
@@bart-wt6yz Nolan is a big director and he made The Dark Knight trilogy, if he chooses you to make a movie, it means he knows something what you can put to the DC universe
He’s also just a good friend of zacks, zack even watched tenet at Chris Nolan’s house he said so in one of his interviews
To that one guy in Wales who first used the hashtag “Release the Snyder Cut” in 2017... we thank you

@Flash rex good that's ur opinion..and it's a good one :)
"My friend, Christopher Nolan" Christopher Nolan not wanting to show Zack Snyder Josstice League proved that he's a true friend.
Nolan a real G.
Nolan made my favorite dc film to this day period nor to mention he made inception tenet and interstellar .
He seems so much more happier and more relaxed when working for Army. Warner Bros Does not deserve Zack at all.
WB doesn't deserve a lot of things. Same with Sony. 2 studios that try and get too involved with franchises in the name of trying to catch up with Disney

The fact he didn’t get paid at all for redoing Justice League, speaks levels of his passion and love for cinema!
That's why I love him so much.
Actually he was refused to get paid just to make the fans sure that he had creative controlled on the Snyder Cut. Made me respect him more
Mad respect to him

@@iansawyer3332 I understood that reference
The fact that he filmed the "Knightmare Joker" scene in his backyard is so cool.
I think what happened was they came close since it was so last minute, but the studio relented and allowed him a space.
Yeah but his backyard is probably like a football field
@Parzival_x3 yee
He also filmed the green lantern scene in his driveway
@Parzival_x3 no. There was a deleted scene with green lantern and they filmed it in his driveway.

Amen. Since "300", I fell in spiritual love with the guy because he has a great, detailed style yet has a down to earth aspect when it comes to adult fantasy. He also has an understanding of the human condition.
He's the sort of guy you want to see win so bad. Like seeing him win makes you feel good. It's very strange because he's pretty much a complete stranger as far as im concerned and i only learned about him in 2019 when I rewatched MoS for the 2nd time after its initial release in 2013
He is like a perfect mix of Quinton Tarantino and Michael bay. His story in the script if very strong but his visual story telling is where he really shines
@@l1m0b0at3 Please don't put Bay on the level of Snyder. Bay doesn't really do visuals Snyder does.

Arguably 300 is more popular than Troy. And people laughed at him when he said 'comic book'. Wow. #restorethesnyderverse
Both were great!!
Yo Troy is Troy
I mean at the time comic book movies were considered B movies, in many ways he was among those who showed hollywood that one can make A-movies out of them with just good enough vision and presentation. if one chooses to take them seriously
300 is far more memorable to me than Troy.
@@malluflixofficial agreed but 300 is definitely popular
He was DC's redemption, he put them back on track singlehandedly with one movie, and WB is still screwing up. It's a hard time to be a DC fan.

I used to think Josh Whedon was the humble and nice guy, and Zack was the intense, messed up director. Now I realise I was wrong, this guy looks like the nicest, most chill and wholesome director ever.
And Whedon is the giant douche.
Man of Steel and 300 had some of the best fight scenes ever. Watchmen was revolutionary and so iconic.
The thing I’ve always liked about Zack Snyder is that people clearly like working with him.
He really seems like a cool dude

Yes
#ReleaseTheSnyderPunch
The Snyder Cut of Suckerpunch exists. It just needs to be released. Come on, Warner Bros! Let the man release his true version of Suckerpunch!
This man right here, DOES NOT deserve the hate he constantly receives. People just don't like him because he doesn't make corporate cookie-cutter movies. A true autour with vision, love and passion for his craft.
I'm not a fanboy , but I feel for his situation with WB and his passion for film making.
Watching the Snyder Cut made me realize that we took George Lucas's independence for granted when he made the Star Wars Prequels. Whatever adjustments he made to them were entirely of his own volition, not because 20th Century Fox wanted him to cut back on Jar Jar.
Talk about hate... People thought he got fired in the middle of filming Justice League not knowing that he left on account of his daughter. Idiots!
The death scene of Hollis Mason in the Watchmen director’s cut is one of the finest scenes in all of superhero cinema. I don’t always love Snyder’s filmmaking choices, but when I do, I love em a lot.
That scene is criminally underrated
I loved the directors cut of Watchmen, and it boggles my mind that the scene was originally cut
Is it a credit to Snyder or Alan Moore? Or the fact that Snyder took it straight off the page perfectly?
@@joshuastrawser9160 i cant remember for Hollis Mason death scene, but most of the movie is Snyder taking it off the page so well, so i guess credit to Alan Moore's writing and Snyder's adaptation efforts. Dont think anyone will touch his adaptation for a while. I did enjoy the HBO sequel but visually it was really lacking compared to what he did.
The movie fu...Kim sucks but some scenes ARE GREAT
Watchmen is a stone cold classic. In years to come, when we look back on the past 15 years, Watchmen will be re-appraised as one of the best hero movies. It's a marvel that he captured so much story so effectively in one movie. Marvel would take 3 movies to do the same job. It's in my Top Three movies of all time. And I, like most here, have seen an awful lot of good movies.
Its iconic.
Sucker Punch, the Snyder cut would truly be epic.
I’ve never understood the absolute vitriol this man gets. He seems like he just loves what he does and loves working with cool people.
and no one has said anything bad about working with him
@@bmt131 Let's pray that remains the case. We all have our heroes, and when we watch them fall, we die inside.
@@sambridgers9543 well his nice guy run has been going for more than 20 years so probably won’t end any time soon.
@@Sci-Fi_Freak_YT Good. Let's see if he can maintain it posthumously.
his 'mistake' was making nerds angry by pushing the boundaries of what their particular genre interest was.
I never knew he's so self aware. When he said "in slow motion" while sort of winking to the camera I legit laughed
xixixixixi
He reads comments and memes and genuinely seems to care about feedback, to a healthy degree.
I think most people suddenly loves him now because he's the one character who would stood up to his vision and refuses to bent the knee for corporate bullshits
Him and Dave Chappelle could be friends😂
A Heroes Journey. I see why people refer to Snyder as the main character.
To this day Watchmen is one of my all-time favorite films for the editing, scenes, structure, acting, characters brought to life. So good.
Such a shame it is an insult to the comic book in every concebible way. Alan moore doesnt even want to have his name attached to that lol
"Drax is not the actual Destroyer. He gets his butt kicked more than anyone else." Bautista spitting facts.

@@cyrilmarchand4592 I don't disagree, however he was not fired. Tragically he had a family tragedy that required him to leave set and the studio decided they needed to continue forward without him. They couldn't wait. It is a business after all. So Joss Whedon came in, saw the Snyder cut and thought it was too dark and moody. He ordered reshoots and tried to make it more bright and funny like his Avengers movie. It was awkward, gross and made little to no sense. I'm glad Zack got the opportunity. He and Nolan are completely overlooked for their abilities and both are just trying to tell the stories they find interesting. The best thing we can do is continue to support them by going and seeing their movies. Execs will always act in their own self interests and not in the interests of fans.

Same.. moreover I am a fan of DC but after all the justice league ordeal and what they have been doing to the other movies and games, ive started hating warner bros
Zack snyder is one of the coolest, most awesome, most nicest directors ever. loved watching this! Thank's to vanity fair for inviting zack.
He is also passionate director
@James Howlett Troll
@James Howlett Clown
@James Howlett Who unironically uses the word "simp" anymore?
@James Howlett yeah i saw, and that was awesome.
"standing in SLOW MOTION" 👀 he knew exactly which audience he was talking to there 😂😂 love you zack
He is too creative for this century, I wish he was born in the future
This man is responsible for making me a big Superman fan. Used to be a Batman and Spider-Man fan but after watching Man of Steel. Love his version of Superman and his artistic vision.
Banwagon
same here
@@faltielsonjr5831 hater
@@faltielsonjr5831 LOL. I’m a fan of Christopher Reeve’s and Brandon Routh’s Superman too. But Zack made a great modern take on Supes.
Yeah he makes you get Superman's whole deal.
Me after watching those 15 minutes of army of the dead: **watches all zack snyder content**
me too!! I love him :')
@Raja Thomas Oh, yeah. It's a law that whenever there's an extended cut of a Zack Snyder movie, it's the definitive version.
I’m so glad he’s getting the respect he deserves. Ten years ago, the internet was so unnecessarily cruel to this guy!
How can someone hate this lad? People have the right to not like his films but the man doesn't deserve all the hate that que suffered a few years a go. Zack is one of the nicest and most passionate guys in the industry in my opinion and I couldn't be more happy for all that he accomplished.
His color grading, slomos, and explosions make his films so iconic.... best director next to Christopher Nolan for me
Indeed my friend.
You got Letterboxed?
Facts boi
Bruh 😭
He relies too much on cgi. I don't like the that.
i can’t believe he made watchmen sucker punch and synder cut. he is a film genius
oh i see you're a man of culture as well
@@enegmatixerebro hardly
@@enegmatixerebro not one bit lol
Sucker punch sucks but I do agree he is a pretty good director though
@@dairyproducts2775 why is that its a movie that was misunderstood by lotta ppl i recommend u watching a explain video brotha
The Owls of Gha’Haoole is criminally underrated!
8:58 "That concept kind of goes across the entirety of the DC. Construction and deconstruction and construction." Man really knows his vision and what he was going for. Could’ve maybe gotten JL:ApokolipsWar/Injustice:GodsAmongUs. Smh. #RestoreTheSnyderVerse WB!!
Man, I will always defend Sucker Punch. That film is so much more meaningful than anyone realized at the time.
I'll admit, as much as I adore Zack Snyder with all my heart and soul, I used to absolutely despise Sucker Punch. Granted, I've only seen it once in my life, so my exact memory of it is very fuzzy. I'd personally prefer to wait until we finally get to see the official Director's Cut of the film so I can properly assess it.
Yes and when asked why did he dress those girls that way, he so beautifully replied, "I didnt, you did". Man, this guy is amazing
No, it’s pretty dumb lol. Still like Snyder though
Seen it in theaters was sick af
I think a lot of people didn't fully understand that movie and that's why they didn't like it
The photo of Zack filming in his backyard ..... Zack is emotion, passion, he loves what he does and that is why we love and support him ...... Zack IS the DCEU.
Amd yet his movies suck
@@watersheep7175 k
Zack Snyder’s Justice League is one of the best films ever made.
The best for me
dude....
If you watched this man’s visionary superhero masterpiece, drop a like
Literally my favorite director. You can tell he loves what he does. The passion hasn’t left. He hasn’t become cynical or self righteous. Bless you sir.
Watchmen is such an underrated comic book movie
guys, stop complimenting zack snyder in the comments I can't like them all
To that one guy in wales that started all of this though. I hope he's doing alright so that he got to see zacks version of justice league. The hero we deserved.
