Zack Snyder's JUSTICE LEAGUE on HBOmax in 2021!

I'll admit it: I was wrong.

[URL="https://variety.com/2020/film/news/zack-snyder-release-the-snyder-cut-justice-league-hbo-max-1234611928/amp/?__twitter_impression=true"]There IS a Snyder Cut, and Warner will officially let us see it next year on their streaming HBOmax.[/URL]

Warner is spending $20-$30M to bring it to life, including re-shoots.

I'm just amazed.

I was going to say that all it took was a Pandemic, but apparently talks were going on (and Snyder screened his rough cut for execs) in February.

I'm glad we'll finally get it, so we can at least see if it's better or worse than what we got.

I mean, as much as I don't get why so many people want to see the movie so badly there certainly did seem to be a lot of them. I guess enough that WB feels like they can squeeze a bit more cash out of it than they put in.

Fans of a director simply wanted that director to see his work released. That’s it.

So everything he talked about will be put in, [I]except[/I] the Darkseid tease according to the article.

Darkseid aside, here's [URL="https://movieweb.com/justice-league-movie-test-screening-darker-version-missing-footage/"]a deleted scene[/URL] I would have liked to have seen and hope its in the new cut:

"He also added that there was another deleted scene with Steppenwolf, where, after he took the Mother Box from Themyscira, he actually talks to the Box. His mother Hegra's essence is alive in the Mother Box and all three combined would give him more power and an edge over his uncle Darkseid."

It changes the nature of the family dynamics (in the comics Steppenwolf is the uncle, Darkseid the nephew). Most might see it as a convoluted reason to explain why he calls it MOTHER box, though.

I genuinely hope all the fans that wanted it and wouldn't let go of the hashtag get something they like can can be satisfied with out of it.

I'm not surprised they are releasing it. I am surprised they are actually doing reshoots. It'll be interesting to see just how different this will be.

I wonder what the pitch was for re shoot money? Seriously they have nothing better to do with the money than pour it into this experiment? Do they expect this to get them a ton of subscribers?

It's dark(seid) money!

So I freely admit, I had this one wrong. I didn't think there was any chance that WB would release this cut, let alone spend additional money on it. So kudos to the fans who have been advocating for this for a couple of years now.

Here's how I ultimately look at it...people who love Zack Snyder and Batman v Superman are undeniably very excited about this, and will praise his cut of Justice League regardless. I had mixed feelings on BvS but I definitely preferred Snyder's cut versus the theatrical one, and I have no doubt that his cut of JL will be better than the choppy disaster Whedon released just based on consistency and character development alone. But I've read enough regarding what Snyder envisioned with his JL to know that A LOT of fans of these characters and DC are likely going to be unhappy with the end result. I mean, people at WB saw a rough cut of the film Snyder produced and literally panicked. I think WB has gained some momentum with the direction they've gone in post-JL (the commercial failure of Birds-of-Prey not withstanding) that going backwards like this seems like a big mistake. However, I will watch it and keep an open mind. It'll be interesting at very least.

I'll definitely watch. Just wish it was bingeable not weekly like I'm hearing.

Speaking of Darkseid, seems like they're still doing a New Gods movie. Its at least three years away and maybe they want to lay groundwork for that now? If Darkseid is out, all other references to the New Gods, Apokolips, and New Genesis might be in.

It's not exactly going backwards - not like this one thing is going to have them re-course-course correct or whatever.
