So true. I felt his despair in those bvs interviews. Cool to see.... something else I want to see.... 🤩!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@Delli88Burn1]

Yeah. When you watch all 3 interviews back to back. It's heartbreaking to see a very enthusiastic Zack Synder in MOS and a more weary Zack Synder in JL after going through what he has gone through.

[@thabreez456]

I wish Nolan stayed on and had a more of a pivotal role as producer. It's clear his influence and faith in snyder is what led to almost zero studio interference. Sad he stepped down from BvS but like a good friend My man came in and made sure snyder never saw the theatrical cut. Man Nolan's underrated.

[@TheWayfarerFamily]

Finally an interview by somebody who truly loves his work, Zack is a king he saved the DCEU and unlike WB he did it for his pride as a dad, his love of film and for the fans NOT a paycheque.

[@rheizramreact1064]

1:51 Zack was shooketh and gave him a big smile when Kevin told him that he saw his film 3x! He didn't expect that some of the fans and critics who saw the screening loved it. It's a big relief for him since his last 2 DC movies was heavily criticized by people (you know who).

[@rpsnider85]

Zach Snyder is probably one of the better, maybe even best, film maker of this era. To watch the studios bully him into changing aspects of his films into what they, who obviously have no idea how to make a film, wanted and piss all over his grand designs. I'm glad he got the chance to make his movie, but he shouldn't have had to try to scrape together support and money (the studio ruined his film and then only gave him pennies, relatively speaking, to fix what they did) to remake it after they ruined it. Hopefully this films success will show studios that less interference is better and he can make his films without issue going forward.

Why aren't other actors talking about it? Henry,Gal or Jason? The only person who is legit happy is Ray. His reactions are amazing.

[@P.Whitestrake]

Jason has been campigning for Snyder Cut since 2018. I believe Henry, Gal, Ezra, & even Ben support him outside social media. They promoted ZSJL teaser on their IGs. They're all very busy actors/actress, so it's understandable for them not to talk about it so often. When they do, though, they have to be careful of the thing they say about it.

[@TShay92]

@@P.Whitestrake I know that,just that this is a huge moment and I don't see much from them

[@ashwingk3353]

Jason was actively supporting Synder cut for a long time so I don't think Jason isn't talking about it, Gal was the first actor to post the hashtag#releass the synder cut in social media after which Jason,Ben also posted on their social medias in fact Henry,Ben ,gal,Jason all came for the DC fandoms for the ZSJL event and if you do remember it was during the screening of MOS watch party where Henry was present ,they released the official ZSJL poster confirming the project. Ray is definitely happy and is talking about it everyday but that doesn't mean all other actor's don't. You have to take into perspective of how busy these actor's life's are and how each one supports it in their own way.

[@ndo533]

They support him openly, mostly Jason, Ray, and Ben..literally in that order. Ezra doesnt have a social media as far as we know. Gal openly supports him too, but her, Jason, Henry, and Ben are all really busy. Gal and Jason are in a bind bc they still work for WB studios as stars of their tentpole films, so theres a lot of studio politics involved that's keeping them from marketing the shit out of this movie. They still stuck their neck out for Zack and he has expressed gratitude. They all support Zack though and have expressed it. I wish Henry and Zack were closer.

[@TShay92]
