Another weekend where the #ReleaseTheSnyderCut hashtag trending multiple times has passed only this time, it came together with another figure from Justice League's production breaking his silence regarding the now fabled cut. Speaking to JOE, the film's composer Danny Elfman admitted that Snyder had actually never finished the movie.
"Well, the thing is, he never finished it. So, I don't know quite how they'd do that," he said. "He had a tremendous tragedy, which forced him to not finish the film."
He further elaborated on the unique circumstances regarding the film's change in directors and how he does not quite understand where all this need for Snyder's version of the film is coming from.
"I don't quite understand this, because it wasn't like he was fired, and that there is a Director's Cut that is a finished movie and that the studio fired him and then hired Joss," Elfman went on. "I mean, there is definitely other movies where the director was fired, and a studio radically changed the movie because they didn't like it. And as a fan, you go 'I wonder what the director did, before the studio changed the movie.' But I'm not really aware of how that dynamic would really apply here."
The cut became highly sought after following an MTV News interview with Jason Momoa, who mentioned he had seen the cut. From there, it snowballed and became a movement of its own. That said, it would be interesting to see Snyder's version, or at least some of it, of the Justice League in comparison to Whedon's.
DC Films' latest upcoming film is Birds of Prey which is set to be released February 5 next year.
