Warner Bros. executives regretted bringing in the director Zack Snyder comes back to complete his four-hour cut Justice Leaguewhich cost the studio $ 70 million more to complete because a full version of his film didn’t already exist.
The only reason WB allowed this to happen was because of the years-long campaign for the release of “Snyder Cut”, which is also shrouded in controversy as Snyder has been accused of arming fans to make it happen. WB began questioning and wondering how organic Snyder’s Twitter army was, so they hired two cybersecurity investigative firms to look into it. Two reports were submitted and found that massive online support for the Snyder cut the movement was fueled, in part, by bots and inauthentic social media accounts. You can read all about it here.
According to Variety, the study believes that “Justice League by Zack Snyder it should never have happened. The report goes on to say, “Rather than silencing the relentless online campaign for #ReleasetheSnyderCut, HBO Max’s four-hour feature only further strengthened ‘Snyderverse’s vocal and extremely online fan base’ as opposed to the studio’s leadership. in general and DC in particular “.
It is explained: “It might be hard to win over that group, but DC needs to do a better job of cultivating the kind of compelling franchises that will allow them to build the kind of passionate, engaged and excited fan base that can stifle haters. That requires. patience, which has often been scarce in Washington, where corporate gentlemen have long ago made it clear that they want their rival inside the MCU, but have failed to understand the kind of blood, sweat and tears it can take to build that kind of colossus “.
WB has a long way ahead of them when it comes to the DC franchise, and now we’ll just have to wait and see if this new studio leadership is led by the CEO. David Zazlavwill actually be able to make it.
Snyder has since found a new creative home in Netflix, where he is currently developing his next film Rebel Moon. Speaking of DC Snyderverse last year, the director said: “I hope whatever Snyderverseian is [whatever] we are doing as original IP. The DC universe is something that is very close to my heart and something that I have spent a lot of time developing and thinking about, so I love it. But where I am now is with the Rebel Moon and the Army of the Dead. They are consuming a lot of our creative production. Hopefully whatever we are doing that is original and interesting falls into that category. “
So Snyder is doing well and looks like he’s happy with where he is in his career.
