Zack Snyder disappointed with international distribution for Justice League

In a recent conversation on the SnyderCutBR YouTube channel, Zack Snyder shared his opinions on the failure of the studios to provide his Justice League version globally next month. He was asked to shed some light on his upcoming project’s worldwide release as there is a huge demand for the film to release simultaneously around the globe. The director hinted that everything related to distribution is “sadly” out of his hand.

Zack Snyder wished to be in charge of the distribution but stated that he is “unfortunately” not a part of it. He admitted that there has been “not amazing” work done with the distribution of his Justice League cut. The filmmaker said that he does not know why it has been this way and he honestly could not put his word on it. He asserted that he does not want to make it seem like there is some sort of “conspiracy” going on.

Snyder thinks part of the problem is no one saw the movie coming. He explained that the normal window, or the normal way people in Hollywood distribute movies, is they understand when the movie gets made that it’s going to have to be distributed. Normally, they have a two-year window to figure that all out, he said. The director noted that the problem with his project is that it happened in six months and came to life. Its demand has caught everyone off guard, he claimed. 

Zack Snyder mentioned that even when the Snyder Cut was given a green light there was no knowledge of its urgency or an understanding of the worldwide demand it has. He asserted that the local carriers, Warner Bros studio or HBO Max should let the fans around the world know when the movie will be provided to them. The filmmaker thinks that people have recently come around to the fact that his version is a “totally different movie” and will provide a “totally different experience” along with requiring a fresh marketing approach. He agreed that the distributors are trying to do everything they can but there are also legal issues involved.
