Warning: there are Spoilers for every movie mentioned in this articleThe horror genre is alive and well, thanks to the wonderfully sadistic Art the Clown in his latest sequel Terrifier 3, plus other great franchise movies such as the surprisingly humorous Smile 2. One of the best elements of the horror genre is not just the actual frights and scares that audiences get from the kills and suspense, it's also when there's a plot twist that no one saw coming.

Sometimes, these surprises work extremely well. For example, when John Kramer rises from the dead in 2004's Saw, or when the hag-like creature appears in Barbarian from 2022. They were great plot twists that we never saw coming. However, despite the best intentions of all involved, there are many horror movies with a plot twist that's so obvious, that when it happens it's a let-down rather than a horrific shock.

Army Of The Dead...

Fallout stars Ella Purnell as Lucy, a Vault Dweller in post-apocalyptic Los Angeles. Purnell previously starred as Kate in Zack Snyder's Army of the Dead on Netflix. Purnell's role in the post-apocalyptic film Army of the Dead helped her prepare for her protagonist role in Fallout.

The Amazon Prime show Fallout revolves around Ella Purnell's character, and the actress' previous film undoubtedly helped her prepare for the role. The post-apocalyptic drama series, created by Lisa Joy and Jonathan Nolan, is based on the popular role-playing video game franchise of the same name, but Fallout's timeline is separate from the games. The show introduces a new story to this already-established universe by taking place in 2296, almost ten years after the last game, depicting a new character — Lucy MacLean, played by Purnell —a Vault Dweller who leaves her home and ventures into the Wasteland of Los Angeles.

When Sleepy Hollow was announced as a show in which Ichabod Crane (Tom Mison) awoke in 2013, 232 years after his supposed death to face the Headless Horseman once again, the premise was met with some skepticism. Surprisingly, the pilot episode was well received among critics and the show went on to have a stellar first season. Mison and co-star Nicole Beharie, who portrayed Lieutenant Abbie Mills, appeared to have an insane amount of chemistry in the show, but reality turned out to be a little different.

A new episode of the Wtf Happened to This Horror Movie? video series has been released this morning, and in this episode we’re looking back at one of the least popular films to be directed by the legendary John Carpenter: the 2001 release Ghosts of Mars (watch it Here). Why didn’t Ghosts of Mars turn out to be another Carpenter classic? We try to figure that out in the video embedded above.

Directed by Carpenter from a script he wrote with Larry Sulkis, Ghosts of Mars has the following synopsis: Long inhabited by human settlers, the Red Planet has become the manifest destiny of an over-populated Earth. Nearly 640,000 people now live and work all over Mars, mining the planet for its abundant natural resources. But one of those mining operations has uncovered a deadly mother lode: a long-dormant Martian civilization whose warriors are systematically taking over the bodies of human intruders.

Army of the Dead's zombie tiger could be followed by more zombie animals in Planet of the Dead. Zack Snyder's Army of the Dead mixed a wild assortment of different elements as a hybrid zombie-heist movie. The movie also put a completely new spin on zombies by separating them into the more traditional Shambler zombie group and the intelligent and socialized Alphas that reign over the abandoned Las Vegas.

Army of the Dead also brought a new zombie player into the mix with its zombie tiger, Valentine. While the movie explained much more about the Alpha zombies and their leader, Zeus (Richard Cetrone), than it did about Valentine's origins, the latter's presence in Army of the Dead showed how far Zack Snyder is striving to push the zombie universe the film established with radically new kinds of zombies. The movie's sequel, Planet of the Dead could possibly introduce new zombie variants as well,...

The Army of the Dead Alpha zombie king Zeus might be dead, but there are ways for him to return in the Army of the Dead 2 movie, Planet of the Dead. Zack Snyder's Army of the Dead upped the zombie genre game with a new evolution of the undead known as Alphas. Compared to their more traditional counterparts known as the Shamblers, Alphas are highly intelligent zombies maintaining their own social hierarchy with Zeus (Richard Cetrone) as their leader.

In Army of the Dead, Zeus and his army of Alpha zombies come into conflict with the Las Vengeance mercenary team during their heist in the ruins of Las Vegas. In the end, Zeus's head is blown apart by the team's leader Scott Ward (Dave Bautista) in what looks like a quite definitive death scene. However, with aliens, time loops, and other elements of the Army of the Dead franchise teased by Snyder,...

Army of the Dead might have left the door open for a seemingly dead character to return. Zack Snyder's Netflix zombie movie Army of the Dead introduces a mercenary crew on a mission to steal 100 million from a vault in Las Vegas after the city has become a zombie-filled wasteland. Army of the Dead also acts as the first chapter of a planned universe by Snyder, with the prequel Army of Thieves, the upcoming animated series Army of the Dead: Lost Vegas, and the forthcoming sequel Planet of the Dead building the zombie franchise.

By the end of Army of the Dead, all but a few of the main characters have been killed, but the way in which Snyder has positioned the franchise to involve time loops and aliens prevents resurrections from being a bridge too far for any of them. One character in particular that could be the...

Here’s Kev with a video review of Zack Snyder’s highly anticipated Army of the Dead, which is now available to watch on Netflix. Also check out our written review here: http://www.nerdly.co.uk/2021/05/24/army-of-the-dead-review-netflix/

With the abandoned, walled city of Las Vegas overrun with zombies, after a disastrous government fault, the billionaire casino magnate, Bly Tanaka, realises that he has left something in Sin City: $200 million to be more precise. For the time being, his mountains of cash are safe behind his impenetrable casino vault; however, the US President plans to nuke the entire city in less than 96 hours. Now, Tanaka is willing to pay $50 million to the decorated former mercenary, Scott Ward, and his hand-picked team to retrieve the money before the bomb obliterates the city. Indeed, this is a life-changing offer Scott cannot refuse; nevertheless, the rules have changed, and the horde of the...

An Army of the Dead Easter egg has been discovered that seemingly connects the movie to Zack Snyder's Dawn of the Dead remake. At the very least, it seems to tip its cap to Snyder's feature directorial debut, which was a remake of George A. Romero's zombie classic of the same name. The hidden detail does beg the question; "do these movies exist in the same universe?"

The Easter egg in question was shared by the Movies That Maher Twitter account recently. In it, we see a news article on someone's phone that contains new information regarding a zombie outbreak that happened in Wisconsin back in 2004. Specifically Milwaukee. As it just so happens, that's where Dawn Of The Dead remake, which was released back in 2004 and presumably takes place that same year, was set. Accompanied with a screenshot of the moment from Army of the Dead, the post reads as follows.

Stars: Dave Bautista, Ella Purnell, Ana de la Reguera, Omari Hardwick, Theo Rossi, Matthias Schweighöfer, Nora Arnezeder, Hiroyuki Sanada, Garret Dillahunt, Tig Notaro, Raúl Castillo, Huma Qureshi, Samantha Win, Richard Cetrone, michael Cassidy | Written by Zack Snyder, Shay Hatten, Joby Harold | Directed by Zack Snyder

To start this review I will just state, I am a big fan of Snyder’s Dawn of the Dead remake, so I was hopeful that this would be more of the same. While this may not be the case, what Army of the Dead gives us is a welcome dose of crazy zombie action in typical Zack Snyder style.

Following a zombie outbreak in Las Vegas, a group or mercenaries are given the job of getting back into the city and pulling off one of the greatest heists ever. Not only do they have to get into one of the most secure safes in...

This Army of the Dead article contains spoilers.

It’s not a subtle image. But then who comes to a Zack Snyder movie for that? During the bloody and marvelous opening credits to Army of the Dead, the alpha zombie they call Zeus (Richard Cetrone) earns his nickname while staring up at a statue of the ancient Greek god of thunder in front of the fictional Mount Olympus hotel and casino. Our Mr. Zombie+ may not be an actual god, but one alpha can clearly recognize another’s game, and as we eventually learn, “Zeus” will make the Greco-Roman themed high-rise his home in the months to come.

Olympus is again the seat of power for those who seek to rule over all.

Such is our early introduction to Snyder’s update of zombie lore in Army of the Dead, the filmmaker’s second zombie movie after his debut film nearly 20 years ago,...

This Army of the Dead article contains spoilers.

There’s a moment during Army of the Dead when a team led by former mercenary Scott Ward (Dave Bautista), on a mission to recover a casino owner’s cash from a vault in ruined, zombie-ravaged Las Vegas, comes upon the remains of a previous team seemingly sent into the city for the same reason. Ward’s right-hand man, a philosophically inclined “zombie killing machine” named Vanderohe (Omari Hardwick), muses that perhaps this is their team — and that they’re caught in a time loop, repeating the same disastrous actions over and over again. What a concept, bro!

Of course, that’s not the case (this isn’t Doctor Strange or even Boss Level) and the bodies are simply those of a different team. But it does foreshadow the very end of this movie, which adapts the same nihilistic view of the...

Zack Snyder's Army of the Dead isn't your average zombie movie. The zombies that reside in Snyder's apocalyptic Las Vegas are fast-paced, intelligent, and organized, presenting a lethal threat of the utmost degree. There's a bonkers Elvis Presley impersonator and an undead tiger, and the whole flesh-eating bunch is led by zombie king Zeus (played by Rich Cetrone) and zombie alpha Queen (played by Athena Perample). These zombies have some semblance of human intelligence and are hell-bent on keeping other species from invading their community. Much like animals and humans, they have a social hierarchy among their kind, with the leaders communicating with their kingdom in sentient ways. To bring these alpha roles to life, Snyder appointed seasoned stunt professionals.

When Netflix dropped the trailer for Zack Snyder's epic zombie heist, Army of the Dead, it revealed a spectacular zombie tiger roaming among the dead in Las Vegas. The tiger, named Valentine, is one of Snyder's features for taking his movie, and the genre, to a new height. With the Netflix premiere set for this Friday, it has been revealed by producer Deborah Snyder that the real tiger Valentine was modeled after is actual owned by a rather (in)famous Netflix star: Carole Baskin. Baskin, who Joe Exotic accused of feeding her first husband to her big cats in Tiger King, is the founder and CEO of Big Cat Rescue in Tampa Bay, Florida.

Zack Snyder had his visual effects team contact several animal sanctuaries in order to get real references for their zombie cat. Carol Baskin ended up owning the model Tiger, and this was before she became...

Netflix is breaking tradition as they are set to give Zack Snyder's Army of the Dead a wide release in theaters before it arrives on the streaming service. Netflix, historically speaking, has not cared much about the box office. They gave movies like The Irishman theatrical runs to qualify for awards and/or appease filmmakers. But now, they seem to be exploring the space a bit more seriously.

When it comes to contrasting movie genres, it's hard to think of two more disparate examples than Ocean's Eleven and zombie films. While the first depends on an intricate set of rules in an orderly world of high-end hotels and socialites, the latter usually takes place in an apocalypse where crowds of the undead are baying for your blood. Filmmaker Zack Snyder intends to bring the two worlds together with his upcoming Netflix movie Army of the Dead. Described as a "zombie heist" film, Snyder revealed during Justice Con that his movie features a reference to Ocean's Eleven as homage.

"The [heist movies] that have really gotten me are like Italian Job and Thunderbolt and Lightfoot and of course, Ocean's. You can't make a zombie heist film set in Vegas or a heist film set in Vegas and not have some Ocean's reference, especially in a movie that's making other movie references,...

Zombie movies have been getting made for decades now, so you might think you've seen every cliche that genre of movies has to offer, from the shambling undead, to the eating of brains, to the general lack of personal hygiene of everyone involved in the zombie apocalypse. Zack Snyder's upcoming Netflix movie Army of the Dead plans to introduce some intriguing new elements into what is being described as a "zombie heist" film, particularly robot zombies, aka Robo-zombies (rombies?). Snyder opened up about the details in a Netflix Q&a.

"I had the idea from the beginning that these zombies were going to embody an evolution, that they were on their way to becoming something else, not stagnant like the zombies we're used to. It was a way to make them fresh, while still delivering the zombie canon in some ways. I really wanted this sort of weird ambiguity to their origins - which,...

In Select Theaters May and on Netflix May 21 is the latest zombie movie Army Of The Dead.

From filmmaker Zack Snyder, Army Of The Dead takes place following a zombie outbreak that has left Las Vegas in ruins and walled off from the rest of the world.

When Scott Ward (Dave Bautista), a former zombie war hero who’s now flipping burgers on the outskirts of the town he now calls home, is approached by casino boss Bly Tanaka (Hiroyuki Sanada), it’s with the ultimate proposition: break into the zombie-infested quarantine zone to retrieve $200 million sitting in a vault beneath the strip before the city is nuked by the government in 32 hours. With little left to lose, Ward takes on the challenge, assembling a ragtag team of experts for the heist. With a ticking clock, a notoriously impenetrable vault, and a smarter, faster horde of Alpha zombies closing in,...

In the trailer for Zack Snyder’s “Army of the Dead,” Dave Bautista leads a team of mercenaries sent into Las Vegas in order to swipe $200 million from an abandoned casino vault.

“They’re not what you think they are. They’re smarter, they’re faster, they’re organized,” one of the soldiers says in the “Army of the Dead” trailer.

Zack Snyder has been in the news a lot over the past few years, with most of the attention going to his cut of Justice League, which is currently streaming on HBO Max after two years of debate and controversy. When it came to making Army of the Dead, the director had...

Most of the news revolving around Hollywood whirlwind Zack Snyder of late has been centered around his forthcoming Justice League cut. His dealings with millions of rabid fans may well have helped him during production on his return to the land of the dead. The first trailer for Army of the Dead, due out on Netflix on the 21st of May, shows that he hasn’t lost his touch when it comes to making the undead look beautiful.

The cast for Aotd is pretty stellar, with Dave Bautista leading his way alongside Ella Purnell, Omari Hardwick, Ana de la Reguera, Theo Rossi, Matthias Schweighöfer, Nora Arnezeder, Hiroyuki Sanada, Tig Notaro, Raúl Castillo, Huma Qureshi, Garret Dillahunt, Samantha Win, Richard Cetrone and Michael Cassidy.

The plot is simple as beans. Las Vegas heist + zombies. Not so much an elevator pitch as a doorstep one. However, from the looks of this trailer...

Netflix on Thursday dropped the first teaser for Zack Snyder’s “Army of the Dead,” starring Dave Bautista as the leader of an epic heist through a zombie-ravaged Las Vegas.

In a mashup of “Ocean’s Eleven” and “Dawn of the Dead,” “Army of the Dead” stars Bautista as the head of a team of mercenaries that tries to steal countless millions from a Vegas casino during a zombie invasion. The film was first announced in 2008 as a sequel to Universal’s remake of “Dawn of the Dead,” but spent years in development hell before Netflix picked up the rights in 2019.

Along with Bautista, “Army of the Dead” stars Ella Purnell, Omari Hardwick, Ana De La Reguera, Theo Rossi, Matthias Schweighöfer, Nora Arnezeder, Hiroyuki Sanada, Garret Dillahunt, Tig Notaro, Raúl Castillo, Huma Qureshi, Samantha Win, Richard Cetrone and Michael Cassidy.

Fans of the Snyderverse are surely delighted this year as we’ll be getting two films from the director in the span of just over two months.

Well, today we learned that it’s officially dropping on the streaming service this spring. Specifically, it hits on May 21st.

“Army of the Dead” was first announced in 2008 as a sequel to 2004’s “Dawn of the Dead,” with Universal Studios and Warner Bros. producing and Matthijs van Heijningen Jr. directing. However, the project never got off the ground and was acquired by Netflix in January 2019, with Snyder on board to direct. Snyder also wrote the script based off of his own story, along with Shay Hatten and Joby Harold.

“Army of the Dead” follows a group of mercenaries as they attempt a heist at a Las Vegas casino during a zombie outbreak.

It’s a big year for director Zack Snyder, with the director’s cut of “Justice League” coming out on March 18 to HBO Max, and his new zombie outbreak epic “Army of the Dead” hitting Netflix on May 21 later this year. The streamer has released a new first look at the film, which is also written by Snyder, with Shay Hatten and Joby Harold. Check out new images from the film and a brand new poster below.

Army of the Dead will be released on Netflix sometime this summer, and we'll be sure to keep Daily Dead readers updated as more details are revealed.

Synopsis: "Following...

With the Justice League Snyder Cut in the bag, the big question on DC fans’ lips now is whether Warner Bros. will follow it up by releasing the Ayer Cut of Suicide Squad as well. Thanks to the director, we know that a lot of great material was removed from the theatrical cut that would’ve massively changed, and likely improved, the movie. There would’ve been more Harley, more Joker and even maybe a little bit more Batman, too.

Ben Affleck turned up as the Dark Knight for several scenes scattered throughout Suicide Squad as he arrested Deadshot and Harley in flashback and then appeared as Bruce Wayne in the post-credits scene. According to stunt performer Richard Cetrone though – who doubled for Affleck in all three of his Dceu appearances – he shot some extra action beats as Batman that didn’t make it into the theatrical version.

“There were some things.

Though Zack Snyder's Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice proved to be pretty divisive amongst fans, there was one sequence that received a lot of love from both sides of the divide: the Knightmare Sequence. Well, according to Ben Affleck's stunt performer Richard Cetrone, this scene was not always included.

"After shooting had already started, that scene was added," Richard Cetrone said, which perhaps suggests that the initial plan for Batman V Superman was less of a set-up for the future of the DC cinematic universe and more of a standalone adventure more akin to Snyder's Man of Steel.

The sequence in question takes place part way through Batman V Superman and begins when Bruce Wayne decides to take a snooze, dreaming of a post-apocalyptic world in which Henry Cavill's Superman has taken a bad turn and now rules of the world with an iron fist. The...

Joss Whedon of "Avengers" fame, distancing himself from fans with his online 'Trump Derangement Syndrome' was nevertheless brought in at the last minute to both write and direct 'reshoots' of the film, reportedly only using 10 per cent of Snyder's work...

...causing the the film to under-perform at the box office, earning $229,024,295 in North America and $428,900,000 International, for a worldwide total of $657,924,295. Snyder has since confirmed he filmed enough scenes to assemble into a 3-hour film, dubbed the 'Snyder Cut', supporting an online campaign for Warner Bros. to release this 'alternate' version of the film on DVD.

Ben Affleck may never suit up as the Caped Crusader again, but in the eyes of Zack Snyder, he is the perfect Batman. The filmmaker, despite being credited as a producer on Aquaman, which is currently tearing it up at the box office, is no longer involved with the current big screen DC universe, which he essentially created. But Snyder decided to share some photos of Batfleck recently and had some major praise for the actor's take on the character.

Zack Snyder isn't all that active on Twitter or Facebook. Instead, he often posts to the social media site Vero. Recently, Snyder shared several black and white photos of Ben Affleck as Batman, as well as his stunt double Richard Cetrone. A couple of which hadn't been shared previously. There's nothing overly remarkable about the photos themselves, but it's his caption that's worth honing in on. Here's what Snyder had to say.

DC movies can sure be messy creations, with divisive works like Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice and Justice League aspiring to cram so many characters and plot points into a single story that’s it’s often easy to miss the attention to detail that goes into all this dimly lit action.

Just take the Caped Crusader’s most recent costume for example, which stuntman Richard Cetrone wore in last year’s Justice League. Earlier this week, he took to Instagram to show off the full body of the tactical suit which Ben Affleck donned in the fight against Steppenwolf, giving us a pretty good look at it. Overall, it’s not a bad design, and Cetrone wears it well, while exhibiting the appropriately brooding facial expression to match.

Yesterday, Twitter user @ReevzFX provided a much-needed break from the scuttlebutt regarding the Dceu, namely Justice League and the long-fabled presence of a Snyder cut. The DC fan shared a trio of behind the scenes snapshots featuring Ben Affleck’s frequent stunt double, Richard Cetrone, in full Knightmare attire.

Although the images did their best to temporarily distract us from the latest Snyder revelation, which pertained to an actual screening of the Justice League director’s cut, the sun shone only for a brief moment, and it wasn’t long before the grim reality of the Dceu set back in.

Thankfully, another DC fan, this time on Instagram, has posted a previously unseen image of Batman from the aforementioned 2017 blockbuster, which you can check out below. Unfortunately, however, this time, it’s with Ben Affleck inhabiting the Batsuit. I say “unfortunately” because, while I do love me some Batfleck, the...

I reckon we could all use a break from the scuttlebutt regarding Justice League at the moment, right? Thankfully, Twitter user @ReevzFX has provided just that with a trio of behind the scenes snapshots from Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice featuring Ben Affleck’s frequent stunt double, Richard Cetrone, in complete Knightmare attire, for your recreational viewing pleasure.

Cetrone, who also served as the stunt double recently for Paul Bettany in Solo: A Star Wars Story, can be seen in costume as Batman during the filming of the, for lack of a better word, badass Warehouse sequence as well as the aforementioned Knightmare scene.

This isn’t the first time that Cetrone is finding himself in the spotlight, either, as Zack Snyder recently hearkened back to a time when the Dceu was his to control, sharing an additional behind the scenes shot of the stuntman in the Batsuit on...

Typically, it’s been Zack Snyder divulging cut and concealed content from his time as creative director of the Dceu. Last month, the credited helmer of Justice League published on the social media platform, Vero, his most significant revelation yet, pertaining to the Knightmare timeline in Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice.

Last week, Snyder confirmed that the NetherRealm Studios video game, Injustice, indeed influenced the Knightmare sequence in his 2016 superhero blockbuster. Yesterday, the American-born filmmaker then took it one step further, disclosing that Barry Allen/Flash (Ezra Miller) managed to travel back in time via the cosmic treadmill. The device in question originates from the comic books and was invented by Barry, which he uses to speed through time. For example, to deliver the ominous warning to Batman (Ben Affleck) in Doj.

The message implores Bruce to find Lois Lane (Amy Adams), unite the Justice League and be wary...

Zack Snyder’s already confirmed that the NetherRealm Studios video game, Injustice, did indeed influence the Knightmare sequence in Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice. And earlier today, the filmmaker hosted an online discussion with fans to clear up any confusion regarding the discarded narrative over on his favourite social media platform, Vero.

The sequence in question depicts Bruce Wayne (Ben Affleck) witnessing an apocalyptic future where the planet is under the control of Darkseid and his Parademons, due to an apparent partnership with Superman (Henry Cavill). Subsequently, Barry Allen/Flash (Ezra Miller) travels back in time, via the cosmic treadmill, to deliver an ominous warning to Batman. The message implores him to find Lois Lane (Amy Adams), unite the Justice League, and be wary of some tragedy that will befall the Man of Steel at some point in the future.

To accompany his dissection of the sequence, Snyder’s now shared a new,...

I don’t know what’s been up with Zack Snyder as of late, but the guy sure has been enjoying sharing all kinds of interesting trivia pertaining to Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice in recent memory. Sometimes, he may provide answers regarding things that have puzzled moviegoers for the past couple years, or he may declassify some cool pictures. Either way, he’s doing a fine job of keeping DC fans engaged.

When it comes to the topic of today’s discussion, it’s actually yet another picture, but it’s somewhat comical in nature. You see, it captures the Dark Knight during one of his more mundane moments. Or, in this case, it’s Ben Affleck’s stunt double Richard Cetrone trying to find a moment of rest in between takes.

Naturally, this came to us by way of Vero, which seems to be Snyder’s social...

A new fan website lays out the case for a Zack Snyder-approved cut of Justice League. We take a closer look...

Inevitably, it’s the most extreme end of fandom that catches the media’s eye. Whether it’s a Star Wars obsessive presenting a 46-minute, female-free edition of The Last Jedi or bizarre petitions to ban the 2016 Ghostbusters, fan frustration can sometimes take on strange-looking (and ugly) forms when it spills out online.

Occasionally, though, fan frustration can result in something unexpectedly creative. Take ForSnyderCut, for example: a website set up by DC and Zack Snyder followers who want Warner Bros to put out a version of Justice League that hews more closely to the original director’s intentions.

Where some fan-led campaigns read,...

Is this the final nail in the coffin?

Six days ago, it was reported that Justice League stuntman Richard Cetrone allegedly outed the Internet’s worst-kept secret: the fabled Zack Snyder cut of Jl actually exists, and it’s housed up in the vaults of Warner Bros. Pictures. Turns out that’s not the case, after all, as Cetrone has now set the record straight via Batman-on-Film.

The seasoned stuntman, who has worked on everything from Man of Steel to the Underworld series, confirmed that last week’s quote was, in fact, fake. Truth be told, it gained a lot of traction online, leading some to wonder whether we’ll ever get a true, definitive answer regarding Snyder’s version. Enter Richard Cetrone.

When quizzed about the allegations by Batman-on-Film (via Batman-News), Cetrone responded as so:

Update: The Stunt performer who was quoted in our original story has reached out to us saying that he never confirmed the existence of a Justice League Zack Snyder cut to anyone. He asks, 'Please remove my name from your story about a Zack Snyder cut existing. This is a false story and I did not give the person who posted it permission to use my name in any way'. So this means that we're back to square one, and that the mythical Snyder Cut mostly likely doesn't exist as has been explained previously by studio insiders. The following story has been corrected.

The saga continues for the mythical Zack Snyder cut of Justice League. We've seen petitions demanding that Warner Bros. release the version that Snyder originally intended before Joss Whedon came on board. We've also seen peaceful protests in front of Warner Bros. Studios politely asking for Zack Snyder's original cut.

Despite being a divisive film, the Ultimate Edition of Batman v Superman promises to be a treat for fans, and now Warner Bros. has released two new featurettes to get you hyped for today's Blu-Ray release (courtesy of ComicBook.com). In the "Training and Fighting" featurette, costume designer Michael Wilkinson, stunt coordinator Richard Cetrone, and Ben Affleck discuss how they crafted Batman's brutal fighting style, seen in the brilliant warehouse fight scene. The second featurette has director Zack Snyder and Henry Cavill, elaborating on the "Rooftop Fight Scene" and the challenges presented while filming it.
