Zack Snyder Breaks Down Why He Left Production Of 2017’s Justice League

Zack Snyder’s Justice League is a little over two months from seeing the light of day and what a winding road it was for the film to finally be released. Fans of Snyder are aware that he left the 2017 production of the film over a heartbreaking family tragedy, however, Snyder has never opened up about leaving the film in detail until his recent interview with Cinemablend’s Sean O’Connell for his new book. Release the Snyder Cut. Snyder stated,

“I just was kind of done with it,”

“I was in this place of [knowing] my family needs me more than this bullshit, and I just need to honor them and do the best I can to heal that world. I had no energy to fight [the studio], and fight for [the movie]. Literally, zero energy for that. I really think that’s the main thing. I think there’s a different world where I stayed and kind of tried. And I’m sure I could have . . . because every movie is a fight, right? I was used to that. But I just did not have the [energy]. There was no fight in me. I had been beaten by what was going on in my life and I just didn’t want to, I didn’t care to . . . that was kind of where I was.”

O’Connell’s upcoming book detailing the journey of Zack Snyder’s Justice League will be available in stores and online on March 1, and the film is rumored to be released on HBO Max in March.
