Star Wars film – but it’s no longer going to be attached to the sci-fi franchise.Back in 2013, when Snyder was gearing up to release Man Of Steel, news broke that he was developing a Star Wars movie inspired by Akira Kurosawa.According to Vulture, Snyder’s film was going to be separate from the new trilogy of Star Wars movies, Episodes VII, VIII and IX, but set within the Star Wars galaxy.The report stated that it would be a “Jedi epic loosely based on Akira Kurosawa’s 1954 classic Seven

Believe it or not, there’s a new interview with Zack Snyder where he talks about DC superhero films! Shocking, I know. But in the new episode of Happy.

While, on paper and over the course of their filmography, you can’t really say that there’s much in common between Quentin Tarantino and Zack Snyder. They seem to be on very different ends of the filmmaking spectrum.
