Zack Snyder Announces Q&A And A Screening Of Director's Cuts Of His Movies (No, Not JUSTICE LEAGUE)
It's Zack Snyder's birthday, and he's revealed that he's holding a special screening of Batman v Superman, Watchmen, and Dawn of the Dead. However, the "Snyder Cut" obviously won't be part of the event...
It was recently revealed that Zack Snyder will take the helm of Army of the Dead for Netflix and the filmmaker has now announced a special event which will feature screenings of the Director's Cut versions of Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, Watchmen, and Dawn of the Dead.
Unfortunately (and not surprisingly), the fabled "Snyder Cut" version of Justice League won't be part of proceedings. However, the filmmaker is going to be holding a Q&A session and it's hard to imagine that no one attending will end up asking him about what he had planned for the DC Extended Universe before his departure from the movie.
Regardless, it's great to see Snyder getting back in the public eye and you just know that we'll eventually hear more about his DCEU plans before too long, once he starts talking to the press again.
For now, you can find more details about the screening (and purchase tickets) by following the link below. Would you be interested in checking any of these out again? As always, be sure to let us know your thoughts in the comments section.

of what was supposed to go down in the Justice League sequels!
According to Smith, crew members saw Jim Lee storyboards for all three movies. While the first instalment we ended up seeing (with Joss Whedon's reshoots) mostly played out how Snyder planned, the biggest change was that the ending would have featured an appearance from Darkseid as he stared down the team through the Boom Tube Steppenwolf escaped in.
In the sequel, however, things would have taken a cosmic turn for the iconic heroes...
Apparently, the League would have taken the fight to Apokolips in a movie which may have also featured New Genesis. It was in this movie that the Green Lantern Corps would have got involved and Smith claims that the scene with Alfred in the Justice League trailer where he says "Let's hope you're not too late..." was originally going to be with Green Lantern, not Superman.
Crew members even had green lights which they shined on Jeremy Irons but plans clearly changed and the Corps remained relegated to those flashback scenes.
Justice League 2 would have featured a dark ending along the lines of The Empire Strikes Back or Avengers: Infinity War as the team would have been defeated in space before Darkseid arrived on Earth and, in Smith's words, "levels it."
Needless to say, that would have made things difficult for the solo movies Warner Bros. had planned but it would have nicely led to that "Knightmare" vision Batman had becoming a reality and the Flash having to travel back in time.
As you might expect, Justice League 3 would have pitted the heroes against Darkseid for one final stand against the villain as they attempted to set things right. The director stops there but this adventure presumably would have featured time-travel and possibly even the evil Superman we saw kill Batman in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. It's hard to say.
Either way, Smith says, "I really feel like hearing what we heard, we might have missed something." It's hard to disagree with that and, if we're lucky, Snyder might one day comment on these plans himself. What do you guys think? Share your thoughts below.
