WarnerMedia might end up making a lot of money from new subscribers when Zack Snyder’s re-cut of “Justice League” drops on HBO MAX next month. But director Zack Snyder apparently won’t share in those riches… on purpose.
“I’m not getting paid,” Snyder tells Vanity Fair. “I didn’t want to be beholden to anyone, and it allowed me to keep my negotiating powers with these people pretty strong.”
Snyder says that studio executives demanded the film be shorter, and when director Joss Whedon came in to replace Snyder on “Justice League,” he did hurried rewrites and reshoots while adhering to the mandate to cut the film down, something Snyder resisted.
