In May 2020, it was announced that Warner Bros. had approved a new version of the film to be released onto HBO Max in 2021. The version will cost $20–30 million to complete the special effects and editing, and will be either a four-hour version or six-part miniseries of Snyder's original vision of the film.
Krass 4h Film oder kleine sechsteilige Miniserie.
Mit dem was jetzt folgt wird das wohl tatsächlich was richtig anderes.
Zur Geschichte vom Cut mit Details:
[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Versions_of_Justice_League]
Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice was panned by critics (holding a 28% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes[18]), though audiences gave the film a more mixed reception (holding a "B" rating with CinemaScore[19]). Common critiques of the film centered around its dark tone, lack of humor and slow pace. This reaction caused Warner Bros. and Snyder to re-evaluate upcoming films in the DCEU, particularly Suicide Squad, which had already wrapped principal photography, and Justice League, which was a month away from filming. Snyder and Terrio had always planned on having the DCEU films become progressively more light and positive in tone, but the reaction to Batman v Superman caused them to rewrite Justice League as even more hopeful in tone than originally planned.[10][20] In cinematographer Fabian Wagner's first meeting with Snyder, he said he wanted to "get away from the stylized, desaturated, super-high contrast looks of other films in the franchise."[21]
Warner hired Jon Berg and Geoff Johns to oversee the DCEU, with their first task being to help with Justice League rewrites to make the film more hopeful and optimistic.[3] Batman actor Ben Affleck was hired to help with script re-writes and also serve as executive producer on Justice League, mainly to ensure continuity between the film and The Batman, which he was expected to star in and direct at the time.[22] Jeremy Irons, the actor who portrayed Alfred Pennyworth and was an outspoken critic of Batman v Superman, said the "Snyder Cut" script was simpler, smaller and more linear than its predecessor.[23] Because of the Justice League re-writes, Steppenwolf was cut as the major villain from Suicide Squad and was last-minute replaced by Enchantress' brother Incubus.[13][14] Principal photography was shot entirely using 35 mm film[24] and wrapped in December 2016.[25] Months later, multiple cuts of Snyder's Justice League were shown to Warner executives, in addition to friends and family of Snyder.[26][25] A final run-time and picture lock were achieved, though the cuts had incomplete VFX shots and partial audio mixing.[27][28][29] Composer Junkie XL completed his score for the film before stepping down.[30] During an event, Snyder said that he had multiple cuts that were essentially "done", only needing "a few CG tweaks" to complete, but that it was ultimately up to Warner to release it.[31][32] Forbes contributor and film screenwriter Mark Hughes reported that the cut was more than 90% complete,[33] while The Telegraph cited a VFX expert as estimating that the studio would need another $30-40 million to finish the film.[29] This mostly finished version of Justice League is what is often referred to as the "Snyder Cut". Citing several members of Justice League's crew "at various levels" as his source, Kevin Smith described the state of the cut, saying:
"When people hear 'Snyder Cut' in their heads, they think about, like, a DVD they've seen of an extended cut or something that's finished. The 'Snyder Cut' that, again I haven't seen, but the one I've heard everyone speak of was never a finished film. It was a movie that people in production could watch and fill in the blanks. It was certainly not meant for mass consumption."[34][35]
The "Snyder Cut" is 214 minutes (about three-and-a-half hours)[36][2] while the assembly cut (all of the footage shot compiled into a single cut) was nearly five hours long.[37] The basic framework of Snyder's Justice League story was largely maintained for the theatrical release: Batman and Wonder Woman seek out the other metahumans, form a team, resurrect Superman, and defeat Steppenwolf in a final battle in Russia. However, dozens of additional scenes, backstories, mythos, worldbuilding elements, new characters, and teases for upcoming films were present in the "Snyder Cut" but not the theatrical release. The time-travel aspect of Snyder and Terrio's original draft was maintained for the "Snyder Cut", but on a smaller scale. In this version, Cyborg fails to stop "The Unity" and Flash travels back in time to give him a second chance.[38] It spent more time introducing the three new main characters to the DCEU: Flash, Aquaman, and Cyborg.[1] The "Snyder Cut" also introduced several new supporting characters from the source comic books, including: Justice League antagonist Darkseid (played by Ray Porter),[39] master torturer Desaad (played by Peter Guinness),[40][41] Aquaman's mentor and trainer Nuidis Vulko (played by Willem Dafoe),[42] scientist Ryan Choi who takes on the mantle of Atom in the comics (played by Ryan Zheng),[43] Cyborg's mother Elinore Stone (played by Karen Bryson),[44] Barry Allen's love interest Iris West (played by Kiersey Clemons),[45] and the shapeshifting alien Martian Manhunter (played by Harry Lennix).[46][47] Other side characters had additional screen time and more important roles in the "Snyder Cut", including: Superman antagonist Lex Luthor (played by Jesse Eisenberg),[1] Cyborg's father Silas Stone (played by Joe Morton),[48] Atlantean warrior Mera (played by Amber Heard),[49] reporter and Superman love interest Lois Lane (played by Amy Adams),[50] and Wonder Woman antagonist Ares (played by Nick McKinless).[51]
Warner executives who saw his cut noted that Snyder made significant efforts to lighten the tone following the criticism of Batman v Superman.[3] After the release of Aquaman, while the film was lighter than the anticipated tone from the "Snyder Cut" the character of Aquaman was said to be more consistent with Snyder's depiction than it was with Whedon's.[52] Despite this, Warner was still unhappy with the results and insider reports said sources in Warner Bros. considered the cut "unwatchable".[53] The first two trailers for Justice League used footage from the "Snyder Cut" before Whedon's contributions,[54][55] and were subject to a mixed reception.[56][57][58][59] Neil Daly, who oversaw the test screenings, said test audiences ranked Batman and Superman the lowest of the main cast.[60] In July 2018, The Wall Street Journal reported that Warner had no plans of releasing an alternate cut of Justice League.[7] In November 2019, both The Hollywood Reporter and Variety independently reported Warner had no plans to release the "Snyder Cut", with the latter quoting an inside source as saying, "That's a pipe dream. There's no way it's ever happening."[61][62
