We tried to approach this as though there’s never been a Superman movie before, but at the same time respecting the canon and mythology. There are the pillars that you have to respect, and I’m not about to break them. But it is fun for me to bend them and mess with them. Zack Snyder Read Quote
One of the things I think is important about ‘Watchmen’ is that it have resonance within cinematic pop culture as well as superhero culture. Zack Snyder Read Quote
You know, it’s a hugely difficult thing to take any work of art or drawing and say ‘make that real.’ Zack Snyder Read Quote
I always say, I’m certain I changed ‘Watchmen’ less than the Coen brothers changed ‘No Country for Old Men.’ I’m certain of it. But you don’t hear the Cormac McCarthy fans, like, up in arms about it. They should be. It’s like an amazing Pulitzer Prize-winning book. Zack Snyder Read Quote
I’m interested in animation. I actually feel like I’ve learned so much about the process how to make an animated movie. Zack Snyder Read Quote
It’s interesting now that basically a CG set is the same cost as a real set. So like if you’re going to build a CG house in the suburbs, it costs you $200,000. And if you were going to build it in a computer, it’ll cost you $200,000. It’s the same… the relationship is exactly the same. Zack Snyder Read Quote
Origin stories are really important to me. I just like that sort of stuff and I feel like it makes a lot of sense to the guys, who they are. If you don’t have that stuff, it’s kind of a one dimensional version of it. Zack Snyder Read Quote
Our plans for ‘Superman?’ I can’t say. This is the most super secret thing ever. It’s like working for the government, like I’m on a covert mission. Zack Snyder Read Quote
I love the irony of movies. I really do. For whatever reason, I’m incredibly intrigued by the irony of reality in a motion picture. Zack Snyder Read Quote
