Lmao, Wan was secretly showing Zack cuts of Aquaman to help with what he wanted from his vision to distance away from what that dipshit Whedon did to JL.

There's no doubt about it. When the press, non-stop, asked Zack about getting to JL in his Man of Steel junkets, Snyder repeatedly said "In order for the DC Universe to take shape, Superman needs to get his house in order first.." I posted that interview numerous times. Zack had MoS2 planned. The studio wanted the shared universe and pushed BvS on him. He makes it, they panic, they chop it up. It critically bombs. Wonder Woman's success happens. He starts filming an already compromised version of JL for the studio. The studio wanted more control. He said fuck you. His daughter died. The studio didn't want to wait so they can get their bonuses. They bring in Whedon. He ruins it. JL bombs. Snyder is the fall guy.

It's their fault they don't know what they want but when you hire his type to orchestrate a movie universe, he was going to bring the kitchen sink. It's just one huge contradiction after the other with WB. They claim to be director-driven who separates themselves from the typical blockbuster. They got exactly what they asked from Snyder but simply got cold feet because of the greed of the big billion. Zack faught them big time but the studio won't admit they fucked up. Now they are coming with a "Worlds of DC" slate where all films will be different. Typically, that's exactly what they had with Zack's vision.
We all feel like we’ve turned a corner now. We’re playing by the DC playbook, which is very different than the Marvel playbook. We are far less focused on a shared universe. We take it one movie at a time. Each movie is its own equation and own creative entity. If you had to say one thing about us, it’s that it always has to be about the directors.

I've appreciated all of Zack's films from a visual standpoint, but none of them really connected with me.

Zack Snyder Returning to Movies With Zombie Action Pic 'Army of the Dead' (Exclusive)
"No one's ever let me completely loose," the 'Justice League' filmmaker tells The Hollywood Reporter.
Zack is back.
Zack Snyder, who directed 2017's Justice League only to step away from movies to deal with a family tragedy, has signed on to helm Army of the Dead, a zombie horror thriller, for Netflix. Snyder will direct and produce with his partner and wife, Deborah Snyder, via their newly rebranded production company, Stone Quarry. The company's Wesley Coller is also producing.
Snyder also came up with the story for Army, which has a script by Joby Harold. The adventure is set amid a zombie outbreak in Las Vegas, during which a man assembles a group of mercenaries to take the ultimate gamble, venturing into the quarantined zone to pull off the greatest heist ever attempted.
Netflix, which is taking the project over from Warner Bros., where it was first set up in 2007, is going full throttle with Army. The movie will commence shooting this summer with a sizable budget that could reach the $90 million range, say sources.
To say Snyder is excited would be an understatement.
"There are no handcuffs on me at all with this one,” Snyder tells The Hollywood Reporter in an interview.
Snyder was the chief architect of Warner Bros.’ stable of DC Comics films for many years, and he was in postproduction on Justice League when his and Deborah’s daughter committed suicide. The Snyders decided to step away from the movie, letting Joss Whedon film reshoots and finish postproduction. Since then, the duo has been out of the spotlight. There’s been a focus on family, working with suicide awareness causes, and a regrouping of his company. But film projects can be cathartic, and Zack says he's got a desire to get back behind the camera.
“I thought this was a good palate cleanser to really dig in with both hands and make something fun and epic and crazy and bonkers in the best possible way,” he says.
The new project features several full-circle moments for the filmmaker. For one, it brings Snyder back to the genre of his feature debut, 2004's Dawn of the Dead, which launched his high-profile feature directing career. It also reunites him with Scott Stuber, Netflix's movie head, the executive who originally gave Snyder his big-screen shot on the Universal release. And as much as Snyder had made his name in high-flying comic book adaptations such as 300, Watchmen and the various DC movies, this new project is one he is proud to call truly his own.
“I love to honor canon and the works of art,” he says of his adaptations, “but this is the opportunity to find a purely joyful way to express myself though a genre. It will be the most kick-ass, self-aware — but not in a wink-to-the-camera way — balls-to-the-wall zombie freakshow that anyone has ever seen. No one’s ever let me completely loose [like this].”
Snyder says he's been energized by the prospect of making this particular story. “I love big action, I love big sequences," he says. "My movie brain starts clicking around and I was like, ‘We need to be shooting this now!’ Constructing these sequences really fired me up.”
One thing Snyder has missed, even while making his mega-tentpoles, is actually operating a camera and “being in the trenches.”
“When the movie gets super big, you get pushed away from the camera," he notes. "And in the last few years I’ve had a reconnection with photography. This movie will be a chance to get the camera in hand."
Snyder’s return also is noteworthy on other fronts. According to sources, Netflix identified the project and sought it out from Warners, which led to dealmaking that could set precedent for the studio selling other projects to the streamer. Terms for the studio deal and Snyder’ deal were not disclosed.
Snyder is repped by CAA and Sloane Offer.
