Zack Snyder has revealed that he was aware of a Zack Snyder’s Justice League joke being included in Greta Gerwig‘s Barbie ahead of its release earlier this year.Speaking to Men’s Health Magazine to promote his upcoming sci-fi film Rebel Moon, Snyder shared that Warner Bros. executive Michael DeLuca had his wife and producer partner Deborah Snyder of the joke.The joke, told by a version of Barbie played by Alexandra Shipp, was used to to describe her time being under the patriarchy of Ryan Gosling‘s Ken: “It’s like I’ve been in a dream where I was really invested in the Zack Snyder Cut of Justice League.”“They gave us a heads-up,” Snyder said of the joke.

In a film about feminism and overall female empowerment, such as “Barbie,” it can’t feel good to have one joke aimed directly at you, seemingly used to sum up the current male-driven toxic fandom in film. Alas, that’s exactly what happened to Zack Snyder, who is mentioned in “Barbie” as a joke about Writer Barbie waking up from her misogynistic state.

Zack Snyder is sharing his thoughts on the Barbie joke about his cut of Justice League.

Zack Sharf Digital News Director Zack Snyder knew he was going to be the butt of a “Barbie” joke well before the blockbuster comedy opened in theaters from Warner Bros. In a new interview with Men’s Health, the “Rebel Moon” director revealed Warner Bros.’ film co-chief Michael DeLuca informed his wife and producer partner Deborah Snyder earlier this year about the joke and the studio’s intention to keep it in the film’s final cut. The Snyder Cut joke in “Barbie” arrives during a critical moment in the film.

Zack Sharf Digital News Director The year is coming to end, but not without some major original films debuting on Netflix, Prime Video and more top streaming platforms. Whether it’s potential new holiday classics (Prime Video is launching the Eddie Murphy holiday comedy “Candy Cane Lane” this month) or potential new franchises (Zack Snyder returns to Netflix for the start of his space opera saga “Rebel Moon”), streaming is offering up a ton of original fare this month bolstered by star power such as Bradley Cooper, Natalie Portman, Julia Roberts and more. Disney+ already added the first four “Indiana Jones” movies to its streaming library in May, but now comes the arrival of the fifth installment, “Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny,” which marks Harrison Ford’s final outing as the iconic archeologist and adventurer.

Christopher Nolan has said that he considers Zack Snyder’s Watchmen to be a film that was “ahead of its time”.Watchmen was released in 2009, based on the DC Comics limited series of the same name by Alan Moore. It was set in an alternate, dystopian version of 1985, following a group of retired superheroes as they investigate the murder of one of their own.Speaking to The Hollywood Reporter, Nolan said: “I’ve always believed Watchmen was ahead of its time.

It’s interesting to think of how cinema fans are often forced to pick sides. You’re either pro-cinema and on the side of folks like Christopher Nolan, or you’re maybe someone who likes major franchises and *gasp* comic book movies, so you’re on the side of Zack Snyder.

Though it’s clear that Zack Snyder’s filmmaking interests, as of late, have brought him to the stars for his “Rebel Moon” franchise, the man really did generate a cult-like following thanks to his DC superhero films. In fact, to this day, there is still a legion of devotees posting on social media, begging Warner Bros.

Even in its original, nearly three-hour shape, Baz Luhrmann’s “Australia” was a lot of movie beyond just length. Sandwiched within that ambitious old school Hollywood undertaking—about an Englishwoman who inherits a sprawling ranch and the drover she teams up with herding cattle across an unforgiving land— was a broad screwball meet-cute romcom between Nicole Kidman and Hugh Jackman’s characters—at least at first, those rhythms are unmistakable—a fabulist fairy tale about dreamers, an idealistic ranching Western, a sweeping wild wilderness adventure, an immense historical epic (with elements of brassy, jazz-age chutzpah to add yet another flavor), a mystical fable about Indigenous people, and a grand, lush romance.

Girls Aloud, whose plans for a reunion were shattered by the cancer death of Sarah Harding in 2021, will now go out on a UK and Ireland tour next year.

Rebecca Rubin Film and Media Reporter “The Bikeriders,” a drama directed by Jeff Nichols and starring Austin Butler, Jodie Comer, and Tom Hardy, is being shopped around town after Disney took the film off its slate. Disney and 20th Century were scheduled to open the film on Dec. 1.

Zack Snyder has revealed that his Rebel Moon films will receive R-rated director’s cuts at Netflix.Speaking to Entertainment Weekly to promote his upcoming Netflix sci-fi epic franchise, Snyder confirmed that his previously announced director’s cuts of Rebel Moon are indeed real, and that “big chunks of the movie are different.”Snyder told Entertainment Weekly that when he first began working on Rebel Moon, he had “written the script, in a vacuum just as I would was my normal aesthetic — a very hard, very like sexy, violent, crazy, everything’s all at 11” and figured he would “collapse it onto a more broader audience adventure.”However, Snyder says that Netflix were supportive of his original vision: “In my conversations with Netflix, they were always like ‘Would there be any way to go back to your original subversive R-rated version? Then you can do your thing and we can have that as a separate piece of content.”Snyder went on to explain: “I’m super proud of the PG-13 version of the movie. I really am.

Caroline Brew editor Zack Snyder announced earlier this year that “Rebel Moon,” his two-part science-fiction epic for Netflix, would have director’s cuts for each movie. The director revealed more details on what these director’s cuts would entail in a new interview with Entertainment Weekly. While both “Rebel Moon Part One: A Child of Fire” and “Rebel Moon Part Two: The Scargiver” will have PG-13 ratings, longer R-rated versions will be available to stream on Netflix at a later date.

Wanna feel old? The Trolls franchise is seven this year and brings with it a whole culture of nostalgia for the late ’90s and early ’00s that to anyone under 40 will seem like a million years ago. The rest of us might remember it as yesterday; a moment in time when boy bands sprang up at the rate of one a week, offering different permutations of The Wild One, The Sensitive One, The Sultry One, The Cute One and, inevitably, The Most Famous One That Left and Threw the Whole Project Into Crisis.

Fans already knew director’s cuts for Zack Snyder‘s two upcoming “Rebel Moon” movies are coming, but EW got even more details about them in a new interview with Snyder. And while when they’ll get released by Netflix isn’t confirmed yet, other details about them are.

Caroline Brew editor Leonardo DiCaprio introduced Lily Gladstone at Variety Power of Women Presented by Lifetime, reflecting on their time shared as co-stars while filming “Killers of the Flower Moon,” and praising Gladstone’s acting abilities. DiCaprio cited several of Gladstone’s critically acclaimed performances in films such as “Fancy Dance” and “Certain Women,” but then revealed that she was “on the verge of quitting acting altogether” when they first met. “That an actor of such profound talent has found it a long and hard road to get this recognition speaks to the unfairness that still exists in our industry today,” DiCaprio said in his speech.

Rebel Moon has been released by Netflix. The film is the first of a two-part movie event which kicks off on the streamer in December, according to an official press release we’ve received this evening.The cast includes Sofia Boutella, Djimon Hounsou, Ed Skrein, Michiel Huisman, Doona Bae, Ray Fisher, with Charlie Hunnam and Anthony Hopkins as the voice of ‘Jimmy’.
