Zack Snyder on His Highly Anticipated 'Justice League' Cut: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nXbUhWyAbNd1rs0

[@lisalotwin3154]

Josh Horowitz is a fantastic interviewer. He’s prepared, personable without being creepy, he is respectful of the actors and their professionalism. I saw his interviews with Chris Pratt, and like this with Jason it’s entertaining, informative and fascinating. Thanks.

[@janettawallace3722]

He is a great down to earth guy. Great interview. You can tell his Mom raised him well. His personality is so amazing.

[@allisonerickson3598]

You cannot help but fall in love with the guy !!!!❤️❤️

[@ThomasLoyd]

Jason Momoa is awesome! One of my most favorite actors!

[@ibrokemyownheart4953]

Jason is the definition of AWESOME

[@cirlenevieira7442]

Ele e muito lindo adoro ele 😍💟

[@SignificantWines]

Not seen too many of his movies but always think he seems like a great guy when interviewed...

[@Moodymongul]

Jason Momoa, gotta say what a gentlemen! :) I always remember him in Stargate as a kid. He really seems like a great person. He makes a great Aquaman! And I feel his Hawaiian roots only add to the authenticity in the role (I'm sure the casting agents thought the same). Wishing him all the best in his future.

"I HAVEN'T EVEN HAD CAFFEINE YET!" - Jason Momoa I think your natural energy doesn't require any, Jason.

[@KizaWittaker]

Plot twist: Hes just ALWAYS on caffeine

[@SurfergirlKH]

I can’t believe he didn’t become „sexiest man 2019“. To 2020 then. Cheers

[@ME207able]

SpecialK who is John legend anyway?!!!

[@KuldeepBadoniya]

The 12:45 mark is a big middle finger to all the people who thought the cut never existed or will never get released! #ReleaseTheSnyderCut

[@phibbz1834]

It exists and it is done. Read this: screenrant.com/justice-league-zack-snyder-cut-finished-vfx-editing/ it says Zack was working on digital intermediate (color timing for master copy) after the edit was in "picture lock". then watch this: kzbin.info/www/bejne/poXPZWV5hKiBl68 to find out how much VFX is completed at picture lock stage of a movie edit.

[@thewateversho223gaming]

Yay

[@kiwedinikwe1087]

he's literally my favourite human

[@sonjaredd798]

Wow what a superb interview! So relaxed, covering so many topics. Excellent job.

[@miguelalvarado1440]

Jason Momoa is so humble! This is the second interview that I've watched him upset about Justice League, Come On WB!!!! Release the Snayder's Cut!!!!!

[@RedThorn]

13:06 The way Momoa's face lit up with that cheeky smirk forming on his lips: like "if only you knew..." So Snyder wasn't kidding when he said: "Sure, there's a cut... And it's DONE."

[@thomasgonzales2253]

"Oh, you think Zack couldn't (finish it)?" @13:12. IT EXIST, AND ITS DONE! #ReleasetheSnyderCut

[@jt3483]

Momoa is the frickin MAN! From all the exposure and support of #maunakea to the way he carries himself. Ace

[@ChulaMeanGreen21]

I can watch Jason all day. He makes my eyes sparkle

[@Ashleymoniquet]

my man is so handsome i love u Jason ur the love of my life😍😍😍

[@Ashleymoniquet]

my husband forever I love u Jason ur so handsome n I love ur voice😍😍😍😍😍

[@daydreamer2361]

#ReleaseTheSnyderCut thanks Momoa

[@karmaleglass2168]

This guy...more than a hero.

[@BigDro1323]

Jason seems like such a good dude. Such a good dude to where if your wife left you for him, you probably wouldn’t be too mad because he’s legit gonna treat her like a queen and all you can do is just be like, hmmm... well good for her😂 also #releasethesnydercut

[@thomasgonzales2253]

"(the public) NEEDS to see it (Justice League)" @12:45 #ReleasetheSnyderCut

[@JasonMaria-zc9zg]

Hello Jason is the perfect person to talk about music because at the same time is the perfect lover .he is always in my mind love you baby ❤❤

[@NCBCSPRINGRETREAT]

OH this is SUCH a flame for the fire!!! Thank you!!! #ReleaseTheSnyderCut

[@andrewkeegans1]

Barry Allen fuel for the fire would be more functional. And is also an actual ‘phrase’.

[@NCBCSPRINGRETREAT]

@@andrewkeegans1 I stand corrected. I was excited.

[@Vargboi]

my mission in life has now become, to try to get good with Jason Momoa..

[@MOJUSA]

Smart,talented, adorable, awesome, wonderful man ,he has everything. Jason Momoa is awesome and cool..congratulations sir Jason Momoa your new achievements meili vodka,most beautiful man title hopefully. With God giving him God fearing woman who loves him for being humble and loving ,kindness person like Jason Momoa. ❤😊

[@greatpix]

Jason's cred went way up in my book as soon as I heard him playing some good sounding Delta Blues. Seeing as he wanted to be a marine biologist he and James Cameron should get together.

[@Gorgeousbaebeauty]

Omg he actually had to fight a bear omggg HE'S AMAZING I LOVE HIM EVEN MORE 😭 🤧

[@Evil4Eyes]

#ReleaseTheSnyderCut HELL YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!

[@coopertichelbaut1231]

I've been watching Jason Momoa interviews and he has a scrunchie in each one.

[@rahulb4638]

After all this twisting up narrations and twisting up reactions from the film crew about the Snyder Cut, and bringing us all back down to the first place everytime, if one had a final chance to put up a very tight question to someone who is a big part of this film, to squeeze it all out, once and for all, this is how it would be!!! Now no one can twist Momoa's reply!!! It's done!!! And all the credit goes to this gracious interviewer, Josh!!! Thanks man!!! That's exactly how we all would want to ask if had a chance!!!

[@SweeranSwift]

Love Jason so humble ,hot and adorable!

[@alisonpendlebury-brown7885]

And smart! Don't forget smart!

[@potatolover6078]

He says, if you can have fun in Iowa, you can have fun anywhere. I wanna counteract that with...if you can live in North Dakota, THEN you can have fun anywhere!!!!!! Love you so much Jason!!

[@Jason_Momoa_youtube_chat]

Thanks so much for your support

[@theallmightyham]

I saw this guy chilling out in a music store in st. johns, Newfoundland (where I'm from) and he loves guitar. I couldn't look at him because I just finished rewatching game of thrones and had just seen him plowing Amelia Clarke probably 15 minutes before hand. It was all sorts of awkward. He can definitely play though!

[@scoobydoo936]

Sliding that Goldtop made him go straight to the top of my favourite celebrities. Cool guy!

[@adzowagedjeah2210]

Awesome. Congratulations, Jason Momoa

[@seanachiescourt6659]

why does everyone keep ignoring the fact he was ronan in stargate atlantis? i think none of the interviewers know about that lol and certainly not people

[@2Treesandahorse]

He was one of the best parts of the show.

Hell yes, please play boba fett or really any clone story post clone wars, where they're trying to live outside of the empire

[@phibbz1834]

that's pretty ignorant if up to this time these fools still think Snyder's version is simply an "assembly cut". he was already working on digital intermediate and ADR months before he was taken off the project by WB to do reshoots with Whedon. any movie is done and fx work is finished before digital intermediate and ADR, that's easy enough to look up and check with anyone in the movie industry.

[@Zugthug97]

This is what I wish all interviews were like

[@iamBlackGambit]

Which is what?🤔 lol

[@uPhillips]

#ReleaseTheSnyderCut It's done!

[@PSYCHOBEVO]

The fools at Collider, iO9, MovieWeb, Polygon, etc. are looking as ignorant as ever for spending the last couple of years trying to mock the idea that a director's cut of Justice League exists.

[@MMBN4bluemoon]

And if they ever did release it all those reporters and Outlets all have a Mia Copa moment

[@JustKrin]

Well according to a rumor from Collider the cut did exist but it was unwatchable, take that as you want

[@MMBN4bluemoon]

@@JustKrin yeah I do remember them for reporting that a couple years ago that it was unwatchable 👀 What we got in theaters now that was unwatchable and I must be a crazy person cuz I saw it twice on the same day
