Zack Snyder's Rebel Moon

Otomofan said:

I didn't realize Snyder was the first filmmaker to ever release a "director's cut." Truly a bleeding edge idea. First of its kind.

Can't wait to see what he comes up with next. Maybe he'll release a little two minute summary of his movies before they're released. A "preview" of sorts.

Unfortunately there's not enough sex and violence in the entire universe to make this franchise interesting...

I think that T800 and Alatar mean that no movie has been planned that way before. It's one thing that you make your first edit, go through it with the studio, decide on where to edit it further, release it and then go back and re-edit the long(er) version, versus plan from the beginning how you're going to make two different versions of the movie.

Countless movies have been made this way. Especially when the DVD market was booming. Every movie had a version with more sex or bad language intended for home video while the toned down version was intended for theatrical release.

I can't believe anyone could suggest this is some kind of novel "first" with a straight face.

How many "unrated" DVD's had nearly double in runtime added? How many used different takes for the same scene on purpose?

A director's cut is typically created first after the assembly cut. That is used or the studio gets the director to edit that version or they start again or they get someone else to do it. Here the director has planned and done both versions from the outset. At no point was Netflix going to judge his director's cut to see if that is what they want to release first.

Alatar said:

He concurrently filmed a version that he himself toned down (PG13 2 hour-ish for each part) alongside the film he genuinely wanted to make (R-rated 3+ hours for each part). He explains the reason for that being that Netflix insisted on the PG13 2 hour version, although they left him alone to make it and apparently the studio didn’t give him notes for it. I’m not aware of that ever having been done before. But do you see the difference?

Strawman Fallacy​

Description: Substituting a person’s actual position or argument with a distorted, exaggerated, or misrepresented version of the position of the argument.
Logical Form:
Person 1 makes claim Y.
Person 2 restates person 1’s claim (in a distorted way).
Person 2 attacks the distorted version of the claim.
Therefore, claim Y is false.

There are three official versions if you count the ones that were actually playing in theaters at some point. Original with and without narration plus the Final Cut. The other two are unfinished workprints that Ridley added to the Collector's Edition sets just for fun...

Also the Snyder cut is coming to theaters!

Alatar said:

I’m genuinely surprised at this. He said on VERO that he would provide information about a date which automatically means a limited release. I hope it’s more than the Rebel Moon Part 1 PG13 cut got, which was just one week in just four cities worldwide. But still this is pretty cool.

I also want to point out that he thanked James Gunn and Gunn had something to do with it. I actually really repect that. Instead of burying it futher and divided the fanbase that shows a sign of unity and trying to bring the two together and I'm glad they work together. I know some probably won't care but I really liked that Snyder thanked Gunn and Gunn had something to do with the Snyder cut coming to theaters. Very cool imo.
The DC universe needs less divisive stuff. Really love to see positiviitly for once in the community
