Zack Snyder Has Released A New Black And White Trailer For ‘The Snyder Cut’

I’ll be honest, I didn’t watch the Justice League movie because I heard it was terrible and so all this talk about a recut version of from Zack Snyder hadn’t got me even slightly hyped about how it might turn out, but then I watched the trailer below and I gotta tell you, it did get me a little excited.

For those of you that haven’t been paying attention about all the drama surrounding ‘The Snyder Cut’ then I’ll try and fill you in quickly. Basically, during post production of the movie Snyder had to step away from his role as director and general mastermind following the death of his daughter and Warner Bros hired Joss Whedon to come in and figure it all out instead so they could get it out on time.

Unfortunately for the production and Snyder, Whedon completely revamped the project, ordering reshoots and other changes and ultimately changing the tone of the film to be more humorous and less dark and also bringing the run time down to a more manageable 120 minutes. However, fans and critics weren’t really happy with the results and ever since then, there’s been a huge petition for a recut version of the film that was more true to Snyder’s vision to be released.

And this is going to be happening next year some time on HBO Max, probably in the form of four one hour long episodes. There’s no release date yet, but Snyder released the black and white trailer below and it does actually look like it might be pretty good:

OK, so I know it’s an obvious comparison because Snyder made the movie, but I’m getting a real ‘Watchmen’ vibe from it in terms of the drama and serious end of the world vibes and I just did not get that from the original ‘Justice League’ trailer – I just remember thinking that it looked completely bunk. Will definitely check this out if I can get my hands on it without forking out for an HBO Max subscription because it looks like it could be something really special.

For more of the same, check out the trailer to the new ‘Watchmen’ from last year. If you haven’t watched that yet, then you really should do.
