Now that Snyder got his... maybe if it works out well, Ayer will get to release his cut, especially since his was all edited in post, I don't believe there was any new footage.

As for the Snyder Cut... I really wonder how much is being reworked from his original vision the way he originally intended, and how much is a reaction to what he was originally doing and seeing how it didn't work in the Zoss Snedon Cut.
People are trying to praise this as what they would've gotten the first time had he been able to finish... but what if this is actually better much different because he's had time to rethink and see reactions to what he was originally aiming for.

ThePerm:
From what I understand about the Ayer cut is they did reshoots After he made his first cut. Not sure how involved in those Ayer was in those. There was a big push to try to lighten up DC and make it more like Marvel after BVS. One of the **** things about working for a corporation is you might be under contract to pretend you're happy about doing whatever they want publicly.

The price tag on the Synder Cut now up to $70M as the original cast is brought in for reshoots.

So I'm not exactly holding my breath to see this, and my only reason for wanting to is how much people have been clamoring for it. The most interesting part to me is that the cut didn't really exist. There was probably never a finished Snyder-cut to release, hence why HBO is paying for him to make it now. I wonder if all the extra time will improve or hurt it.

So previously, I speculated that there was no completed Synder cut, but reasonably speaking there shouldn't have been one without some work needed to finish it. But the news of the budget going up to $70M with actors doing reshoots is crazy. Previously they were said to be coming back for voiceover work. It's unclear if they're filming new scenes to stretch the story to fit HBO's planned mini series release or if Snyder just needed some scenes redone. Now, it's clear that there's things that he actually filmed that got cut from the original, but some people are thinking he's filming new **** entirely, which the price makes seem plausible.

--- Quote from: BlackNMild2k1 on May 21, 2020, 10:08:07 PM ---Well, he has the benefit of a fairly good budget of $20M to do SFX and editing work, and the opinions of the #releasethesnydercut fanbois to navigate what to fix and what to flesh out.

I don't assume there will be any additional footage shot, but $10M sounds like sooooo much to just assemble footage from a movie already shot and then add CG effects to it. Entire movies with heavy CG effects have been shot from scratch for less, and this one has already been filmed.... only needs the CG effects.

I of course will not be queuing up to watch this, but if it's free to stream one day, and nothing better is on, I might give it a watch.

He's having the cast come in for recording audio, so there's that. Also, CGI is really expensive. Good CGI can cost millions for even a few minutes of it. GOT season 6 allegedly cost $10M per episode, which was a $4M increase over the previous season. (Season 6 was the one with the actual dragons, right? I never watched it.) So, if Synder has a $20M budget, I imagine half of that is going to CGI, since I think that movie was CGI heavy already, a couple million for the actors' time, and something leftover for him to take (plus pay whoever else he has working on this).

And so now we KNOW he's doing reshoots, which might make sense because Whedon wouldn't have reshot anything that got cut when he and the studio made changes. I wonder how this compares to other reshoots, but it's clear Snyder is doing a lot more to this film than punching up unused footage.
