The Official Zack Snyder Thread

[elgaz]

Just watched the latest Sucker Punch trailer, if that's anything to go by then the visuals in the next Superman film will be amazing and will make Superman Returns look utterly plain and washed out.

NewsFlash:

Sucker Punch isn't meant to be an over dramatic fluffed up Oscar caliber film. It's meant to be a visually kick ass, original film that is....get this...wait.....for.....it......FUN!

That's it.

 

[JAK®]

And besides, Snyder has already proved himself with Watchmen, which had great acting and direction.

 

[Lencho01]

Would you pay to touch?

Ha, I wouldn't have to pay...

 

[Project862006]

oh yes you would

Exactly! Why are comedies the only movie aloud to have that tag?? If a movie looks fun that's good enough for me. And Sucker Punch looks fun so I'm there. Plus I like that it looks like an art exhibit and I'm all for that!

Sucker Punch looks like vintage Snyder. What the hell is not to like about it? Hot chicks shooting machine guns. It's very basic.

I do hope if he works with his cinematographer he's been working with, he changes his style for Superman though.

 

[GoblinWhirlwind]

I'm expecting some EPIC posters for Superman too.

Larry Fong is magic and he can make a beautiful Superman movie.

Really not worried and hoping Snyder uses Fong. Don't see why he wouldn't as he's worked on every Snyder project since 300 (except for Gaahole).

Not worried about Fong in terms of what he'll deliver. I remember the "She thinks I'm a God" scene, I got total Superman vibes from that and when he destroys the tank.

Just the look of it all.

He changed his style for Watchmen. Those strange colour schemes were lifted from the comic itself. Purples, oranges and greens; the original comic was noted for it's strange colour choices.

Fong is my favourite cinematographer and easily one of the best, I'm sure he knows what he's doing for SM.

 

[Doctor Jones]

Yeah, I'm sure Snyder and him will know to change their style. I just don't want it all dark and grim looking. I know it's pretty obvious they would change it, but it's just one of those natural concerns.

 

[Sawyer]

Just watched the new Sucker Punch trailer.... HOLY. ****. I mean, really, the visuals on this new movie are bound to be so *****-inducing that it will more than make up for SR and, quite possibly, the two movies before that!

Two words: Visual! Orgy!

 

[I Am The Knight]

I'm your Boogie man, I'm your Boogie man...

Do what you want...

Some interesting quotes from Snyder on what he prefers visually in Superman. Aparently he like the works of Jim Lee and Curt Swan.

“It’s funny, I have that stamp image — it’s him tearing open his jacket. Its got a retro vibe to it, it’s cool. That’s the background on my iPad. It’s Curt Swan and the way he draws that jawline, it is like Mt. Rushmore, totally, or like ‘The Incredibles.’ Swan is really good.”

“My taste level goes to the more, I guess, muscular Superman. The bigger, more muscular Superman, the way Jim draws him. Those tend to be the artists I like in comics. So Jim’s Superman, for sure. That’s not to say that’s how the movie will be, of course, but as far as the comics. It’s an interesting thing to think about though."

Sounds like he is really giving some thought as how to deliver a hero worthy of the name Superman. If he can manage to pull off some of the comic elements that make Superman so cool and not shy away from the challenge; it is going to be a very exciting movie for all comic fans!

Combined with the above post, and the fact that Cavill apparently commanded the room in Reeve's old costume, I'm expecting we'll get an amazing faithful Superman visually.

"Superman’s the king daddy; he’s the s**t." t: Anybody get SciFi Now magazine?

"You’ve got to keep in mind that they look at Superman as passé because that is the way he’s been approached in the movies,” says Snyder. “It’s not like the movies have done anything to fight that, so all I can say is that Chris [Nolan] and David [Goyer] address that in their story. I think the challenge is to make him relevant – figure out how we can make them care about him. That is the challenge.”

He believes a good part of meeting that challenge is the casting of Henry Cavill as the Man of Steel. “He just did a great job with the material that we had him try out, so it was a win-win situation,” he notes. “He’s definitely – without saying what our Superman is – it. He knows how to do what we needed him to do.”

As to the appeal of taking on the character, Snyder enthuses, “Superman’s the king daddy; he’s the ****. If you can make him work, in the end there’s nobody else in the superhero world. For me, Watchmen was the exact opposite of Superman in that now that I’ve deconstructed the superhero world — I tore the curtain down — maybe I’m the right guy to put it back up.”

Exciting and daunting as well is the notion that with this film he will become a part of a much bigger legacy.

“It’s like participating in the Olympics,” he smiles. “I know that’s a weird metaphor, but, you know, there is definitely a historical aspect that is beyond you. The character is bigger than you and you have to keep that in mind. And the character will continue when you’re done. I feel pretty good about that now.”

I especially loved the bit in bold, todays been pretty awesome for Superman stuff

[GoblinWhirlwind]

"For me, Watchmen was the exact opposite of Superman in that now that I’ve deconstructed the superhero world — I tore the curtain down — maybe I’m the right guy to put it back up."

This is my favourite part. It demonstrates that Snyder isn't the one trick pony people say he is.

 

[I Am The Knight]

JAK...That avatar is disturbing me. It really is...

Um, anyway...That was a nice read on Snyder's Superman. He sure loves calling him The King Daddy.

 

[Lencho01]

Lol the king daddy.

We now have our movie title

I'd actually be fine with that title.

Superman: The King Daddy
