After effectively delivering a director’s cut forJustice League, Zack Snyder longs to do the same for his 2011 flop,Sucker Punch. He claims that the 2011 film, was compromised during its filming, leaving him drastically unsatisfied. Moreover, the movie’s massive box office failure of making $89.7 million against its $82 million budget, leaves a sting he hopes a director’s cut can restore.
He claimed during an interview withTotal Filmthat,
“Sucker Punch is probably the most obvious example of straightforward, pure satire that I’ve made. And I still think I didn’t go far enough, because a lot of people thought that it was just a movie about scantily clad girls dancing around in a brothel. I’m like, ‘Really? Did you see Watchmen?”
He also opened up during an interview withInverseand claimed,
“I’m working with Warner Bros. to try and find a window to go back in. Even though we did an extended version, it’s not the fully realized movie.”
In any case, restoring the project will not be easy in any scenario. Reproducing a film, particularly a director’s cut requires huge investments, and studios might stutter given the film’s past performance. Recasting the cast and team following more than a decade is one more gigantic obstacle as many might already be working on other projects or they might not want to return for the film.
