It has been quite a journey to get this point where we are officially less than three weeks away from the release of ‘Zack Snyder’s Justice League‘ on HBO Max. And it seems like every day we are receiving a new little nugget of info to keep the hype building. And today ahs been no different.
During an interview with IGN FanFest today, Zack Snyder answered a few questions in regards to the film and even dropped an animated character motion video set to the song ‘Time’ by Tom Waits. But, one of the big reveals was the first two chapter titles for the four hour epic. ‘Don’t count on it Batman’ and ‘The Age of Heroes’.
Zack Snyder had this to say about the titles:
“There was a couple things. it was always to be completed as one theatrical release, because it was Made as a four-hour film. Now, remember, the film is chaptered anyway. it’s like , part one, ‘Don’t count on it Batman’, and then about 40 minutes later- i forget exactly- part two, ‘The Age of Heroes’, and then on and on…That was just the way the film was created just in my mind as the way it was easily digestible. There was so much and I just felt like this kind of chapters as you went forward was really the best way to absorb it. It was always goin to be finished as a single film but then I thought, ‘Oh, it might be fun to break it up.’ But that just got complicated and everyone started to get nervous about whether or not it was contractually this or that.”
He continued:
“I said, you know what? It’s fine. the four hours, it’s a great way to watch the movie, and it’s easy to pause and go hit the potty or pick up some popcorn or whatever you got to do, because it does have those chapters.”
The introduction of chapter titles is definitely a welcomed addition for many people who may not have the bladders to stick out an entire four hour movie. Regardless, it is beyond exciting that we are at the stage of this movies release where we are discussing something as trivial as chapter titles when just a year and a half ago we were told that the movie didn’t exist in any form at all.
‘Zack Snyder’s Justice League‘ will be released on HBO Max on March 18th and an alternate black and white version ‘Justice is Grey’ edition will be released at a later date as well. How excited are you for Zack Snyder’s mythical cut to finally be released?
