Sean O'Connell Interview Release the Snyder Cut

FilmSpeak brings you their Sean O'Connell Interview Release the Snyder Cut Book leading up to the release of Zack Snyder's Justice League!

What began as a call to action from disappointed fans has turned into an unprecedented movement and cultural phenomenon. #ReleaseTheSnyderCut, a hashtag that took over Twitter and the rest of social media after the release of 2017’s JUSTICE LEAGUE, references the lost cut of the film from director Zack Snyder after he had to depart the project due to a family tragedy.

It is the subject of the new book by author Sean O’Connell, who is no stranger to this universe—in addition to being a life-long fan of comics, he is the managing director of entertainment website CinemaBlend, co-host of movie-centric podcast ReelBlend, and an entertainment journalist who has covered everything from red carpets to Comic-Con.

To understand the history of the Snyder Cut, more than a bit of digging is required. O’Connell explores the story in great detail in the book, for which he dedicated years to researching and interviewing fans and creatives alike. Snyder had been a big name in the DC Extended Universe (DCEU), directing titles such as 2013’s MAN OF STEEL and 2016’s BATMAN V. SUPERMAN. Snyder was an architect in the DCEU, crafting plans for the universe as a whole and helping to interweave all of the films to connect together, including films he produced such as 2017’s WONDER WOMAN. Prior to the family tragedy that ultimately led to Snyder departing the project, he and Warner Bros. (the production company behind the film) had not been seeing eye-to-eye creatively. Though Snyder’s previous films for the franchise had been mostly commercially successful, the feedback from impassioned fans and critics was not always positive. This caused the studio to have doubt in Snyder’s vision, and the company hired writer/director Joss Whedon—fresh off his turn helming multiple films in the rival Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU)—to re-write and ultimately co-direct JUSTICE LEAGUE.

Enter #ReleaseTheSnyderCut. It wasn’t hard for fans to see that the version of the film that was released in theaters after Whedon got involved was drastically different than what Snyder had been setting up. Whedon is reported to have only kept a fraction of what Snyder and co. had shot, and the series of expensive re-shoots combined with his messy interpretation of the film created an end-product that was so strongly disliked by fans, it prompted them to boycott the movie and start fighting for Snyder’s cut of the film—a cut they weren’t even certain existed at the time they began campaigning.

Indeed, they did do the work—and it’s finally paying off. After years of passionate campaigning, on May 20th, 2020, the director made it official: the Snyder cut was coming. The internet broke, so to speak, as fans took to social media to express their joy, disbelief, and excitement. After all, it was the astounding popularity of the movement that caught Warner Bros.’ attention and prompted them to reach out to Snyder to discuss the possibility of releasing his cut. After some back and forth between the director and the studio to determine the best approach, it was agreed that the four-hour epic would be divided into chapters and released on their newest streaming service, HBO Max, on March 18th, 2021.

That's only scratching the surface in this interview with Sean O'Connell. This one's for you Snyder Cut fans!
