Zack Snyder’s ‘Justice League’ Was ‘Unwatchable’ and ‘Joyless’: Report
- Zack Snyder’s first cut of “Justice League” was deemed “unwatchable,” according to Rolling Stone.
- The publication reported that “Avengers” director Joss Whedon was brought in to help the film.
- Whedon ended up directing the final cut, which was slammed by critics.
Zack Snyder’s first cut of “Justice League” was deemed “unwatchable,” according to a new report by Rolling Stone.
Snyder was the original director of the 2017 superhero movie but left the project after his daughter’s death. “The Avengers” director Joss Whedon stepped in to oversee reshoots and recut the movie for its November 2017 release, however, the final product was slammed by critics and fans.
Soon after the film flopped, fans started an online campaign for Snyder’s version of the movie to be released, until Warner Bros. caved in 2020. “Zack Snyder’s Justice League,” released last year, was roughly four hours long and contained new footage that was shot to fit Snyder’s vision.
However, according to Rolling Stone, executives were not impressed with Snyder’s original cut of the movie.
The publication said that Snyder’s first cut, shown to executives at Warner Bros. on February 27, 2017, was described as too long and too convoluted.
With a runtime of more than two-and-a-half hours, those in the room deemed the movie “a disaster” and “full-on failure,” per Rolling Stone.
A source also told the publication that this was when Whedon was brought in as a writer and a consultant.
Nine days later, Snyder presented a second cut, which was still over two hours, and which Whedon gave notes on, the report said.
After Snyder’s daughter died in mid-March, he reportedly continued working to cut the film down in time. At the same time, the studio had Whedon work on making the film’s tone less dark and serious.

Per Rolling Stone, Snyder showed his final version, which was two hours and 18 minutes long, to studio heads on May 5, but a source described it as “unwatchable” and “joyless.”
Whedon was enlisted to direct reshoots over the summer to meet the November release date, and Snyder announced his exit two weeks later, said the report.
Rolling Stone also reported that at least 13% of the social media accounts that pushed for the release of the “Snyder Cut” were fake.
The publication contacted two social-media tracking companies, Q5id and Graphika, and obtained two reports the studio’s then-parent company, WarnerMedia, had commissioned as part of an investigation into fan-trolling related to the film.
According to one report ordered by WarnerMedia, the third-party investigation found a lot of “negative activity created by both real and fake authors” involving the hashtags #ReleaseTheSnyderCut and #RestoreTheSnyderVerse. Q5id and Graphika also found inauthentic activity coming from SnyderVerse fans.
Snyder denied manipulating the social media movement.
He told Rolling Stone: “As an artist, it was fulfilling to be able to finally see my vision realized after such a difficult time in my life and for it to be so well received. I am grateful to both the fan community and Warner Bros. for allowing this to happen. To dwell on negativity and rumors serves no one.”
Insider has reached out to representatives for Snyder and Warner Bros for additional comment.
House committee accepts Washington Commanders owner Dan Snyder’s offer to testify but only under subpoena
The House Committee on Oversight and Reform accepted Washington Commanders owner Dan Snyder’s offer to testify via video conference on July 28, but said he could not do it voluntarily as his attorney had requested.
In a letter Tuesday from Chairwoman Carolyn Maloney (D-New York) to Snyder’s attorney, Karen Patton Seymour, the committee said it would accept his testimony only under a subpoena. The committee reissued a subpoena for Snyder and gave his attorney a noon deadline on Wednesday to accept.
The committee had first issued a subpoena on June 24 for a deposition six days later, but that subpoena was not accepted.
Maloney wrote that the committee wants Snyder to testify under a subpoena to ensure that his “testimony will be full and complete and will not be restricted in the way it would be if the deposition were conducted voluntarily.”
Maloney also cited Snyder’s “month-long refusal” to cooperate with the committee as another factor in wanting him to appear via subpoena.
Dave Rapallo, Georgetown University’s Federal Legislation Clinic director and the Democratic staff director of the House Committee on Oversight and Reform from 2011 to 2021, said last week that there’s an important difference between testifying voluntarily as opposed to being subpoenaed.
“If you’re under subpoena, you have to answer the question posed,” Rapallo said. “If it’s voluntary, and you’re not under subpoena, you don’t.”
If Snyder testified voluntarily, Rapallo said, he could claim he can’t answer because of nondisclosure agreements. Maloney said in the letter “Mr. Snyder has a troubling history of using NDAs to cover up workplace misconduct — behavior that is central to our investigation — and it would be highly inappropriate for him to employ the same tactic to withhold information from the Committee.”
Many of the employees and former employees who participated in the NFL’s internal investigation of the Commanders’ workplace culture signed nondisclosure agreements.
The Commanders did not immediately respond with a statement regarding the letter.
Maloney said the committee was already agreeing to let Snyder testify remotely and give him access to transcribed interviews of other witnesses as well as provide him with a “description of the types of information redacted by the Committee in each of these prior transcripts.”
In her letter to the committee last week, Seymour said that Snyder planned to be in Israel for “much of July” and “into August” to observe the one-year anniversary of his mother’s death. Seymour said she’d travel to Israel for Snyder’s video deposition, which would be conducted in private, but the committee can opt to release all or part of the transcript.
Seymour stated in the letter that she had previous work duties in Europe on the earlier proposed dates of July 6 and 8. She was also in Europe for work on June 22 when NFL commissioner Roger Goodell testified at a hearing on the investigation. Seymour said Snyder would agree to testify on July 28 or 29 — the last two days the House is in session before its August recess.
The Commanders are scheduled to start training camp on July 27, with the team’s first preseason game against the Carolina Panthers on Aug. 13.
Snyder regularly attended his team’s training camp until recent years. In 2019, he did not arrive to camp until August due to vacation plans. In 2020, he did not attend because of the COVID-19 pandemic. He did not attend last year after his wife, Tanya, assumed responsibility for day-to-day operations of the team after the NFL levied a record-setting $10 million fine, following the league’s internal investigation of sexual misconduct and workplace culture within Washington’s franchise.
At the NFL meetings in March, Goodell said Snyder would not represent the team on a daily basis for the “foreseeable future” and that they would discuss his return “at some point.” According to a league source, that discussion has not yet happened.
Snyder traveled to France in June to attend an awards ceremony the same week he had been invited by the committee to testify with Goodell. During Goodell’s testimony on June 22, Maloney announced she planned to subpoena Snyder for a deposition.
Amick: What’s Quin Snyder’s next move? Still in favor in Utah, the Jazz coach will evaluate all his options
This isn’t about Quin Snyder being on the hot seat.
Eight years into his tenure as head coach of the Utah Jazz, and with one guaranteed season left on his contract in addition to a coach’s option for the 2023-24 campaign, the 55-year-old remains highly regarded by everyone from second-year owner Ryan Smith to first-year basketball CEO Danny Ainge to general manager Justin Zanik. The Jazz’s series-ending loss to Dallas in Game 6 of their first-round matchup on Thursday doesn’t change that, and sources say ownership and management do not see Snyder as part of the problem.
Why, then, have we been talking about his possible departure from Utah for so many months now? Because it’s Snyder who must now decide how he feels about this Jazz experience and the prospect of continuing on this challenging path.
Sources say Snyder has been unsure of what his coaching future might hold all season, and his plan has been to see how things ended and then reassess his own view of it all from there. In terms of what might come next, it appears nearly every scenario is on the table.
He could be back with the Jazz, pursue a coaching job elsewhere or perhaps take a season off to re-energize and spend the kind of time with his family that is so hard to come by these days. In terms of a possible extension, sources say there were no discussions of a new deal during the season.
As is almost always the case with decisions like these, there are a number of nuanced factors in play.
There’s the obvious basketball component, with the Jazz’s inability to fulfill their own title-contending expectations taking its cumulative toll on all involved. For all the sustained success Utah has enjoyed, with six consecutive playoff appearances and more regular-season wins than all but Milwaukee and Toronto in that span, it failed to reach a conference finals and fell in the first round in three of the past four seasons.
That sort of playoff pain comes at a cost for all involved, especially the coach who is widely known for his relentless and exhausting approach to his craft. Add in the locker-room dynamics that have been front and center for so long now, the discussion about Donovan Mitchell and Rudy Gobert and whether they’ll ever truly mesh, and Snyder has found himself managing one of the league’s more sensitive situations for quite some time.
Looking ahead, it’s safe to assume Snyder would like to know what the Jazz landscape might look like — on the court and off— at the start of next season as well. What’s the plan here? Is Gobert still anchoring their defense, or will he be traded this summer? Is Mitchell still on board as the franchise centerpiece, or might he force his way out via trade despite having three more guaranteed seasons on his deal?
Who is truly in charge when it comes to the roster, and where does Snyder’s voice fit in when it comes to the type of team the Jazz want to keep building? After all, one could certainly argue Snyder has more sweat equity in this program than anyone.
It has been less than five months since Smith hired Ainge to work with general manager Justin Zanik and 10 months since longtime Jazz executive Dennis Lindsey resigned. Sources say Ainge and Snyder have worked together well so far, but it’s clear there’s still a getting-to-know-you component here that continues to evolve.
In his 18 years as the head of the Celtics’ front office, Ainge always took the kind of hands-on approach to team-building that required a healthy partnership with the coach. Zanik, meanwhile, is widely known to have a very good relationship with Snyder. Ditto for Snyder and Smith.
Snyder’s view of the position itself will likely come into play as well. It would be one thing if Snyder saw himself as the Jazz’s modern-day version of Jerry Sloan, the legendary late coach who spent 23 seasons in this seat. But those who know Snyder best, and who saw him hold five jobs in five cities and two countries (the United States and Russia) from 2007 to 2014 after his seven-year head-coaching stay at Missouri, say that has never been the vision he’s had for this job.
To hear Snyder reflect on this season Thursday night was to wonder what might come next for one of the league’s most respected coaches.
“I’m incredibly proud of this team and the way we competed tonight,” Snyder said during his news conference. “The result speaks for itself, but it’s been a pleasure coaching this group.”
Was the choice to go past tense some kind of sign that he was saying goodbye, or merely an acknowledgment that “this group” might be broken up in these next few months? Snyder himself may not know for sure just yet.
