With his debut with Dawn of Justice, Zack Snyder earned his name as a great visionary director. Nothing effective would come on the screen if the vision of the director is not clear. Therefore, having a clear-cut idea about what the director wants for his/her viewers is extremely important. The American director opened up about how he creates the most effective cuts of his movies.

Joe Russo and Anthony Russo invited the 57-year-old director to their podcast and talked exclusively about Justice League. Now, everyone knows, the film has two different versions. The Russo brothers talked about the production aspects while Snyder revealed he had produced and released director’s cut for every movie he ever made.

How does Zack Snyder create his director’s cut for every movie?

As said, the director’s vision for the film is extremely important. Therefore, when any director makes a film, he/she makes sure the last cut matches the vision they had in mind when they started the film. The Justice League director revealed his process of making the cut. At first, the director would get a rough idea about what his movie would be like. Then, he would cut off some scenes to make the film more effective and to the point.

After removing the unnecessary parts from the flick, he would take another look at the last cut. But because ultimately, the studio always has a say in the final cut; the director negotiates it with the studio. If he gets a note from the studio to cut any of the scenes, Snyder would not immediately cut them off. He would talk the studio through it and would finally cut off some scenes from the film.
