I think that when you see the trailer [on movie “300”] – my feeling is anyway and maybe I’m not objective because I live it – but I think when you see it you immediately go, ‘Okay, this is another sort of way of doing this.’
ZACK SNYDER -
I do like Superman as a character, and I have followed him throughout the years.
ZACK SNYDER -
I believe that pop culture is just, like, so ready for ‘Watchmen.’ We tried so hard to ride that wave between satire and reality, and all the things that make you still care about the character, but you don’t miss the commentary about them.

I heard one time that the Superman glyph is the second or third most recognizable symbol on Earth after the Christian cross.
ZACK SNYDER -
I aim my movies, as much as I can, at myself. I think that those movies have an interesting quality. They’re very movieish. They are movie movies. Like I think Watchmen is a very self-aware movie. 300. Dawn of the Dead definitely. That’s really where I’ve ended up.
ZACK SNYDER -
I always say, I’m certain I changed ‘Watchmen’ less than the Coen brothers changed ‘No Country for Old Men.’ I’m certain of it. But you don’t hear the Cormac McCarthy fans, like, up in arms about it. They should be. It’s like an amazing Pulitzer Prize-winning book.

It’s more like Christmas, you know, when you get a shot in that looks great and it’s exactly what you want. It’s a great feeling, and there’s nothing like it.
ZACK SNYDER -
People have a very proprietary relationship with Superman. It’s important to respect the iconography and the canon, but at the same time, you have to tell a story.
ZACK SNYDER -
I imagine the film [“300”] as if I was a Spartan and I had never seen an immortal or a Persian, or an elephant or a rhino for that matter.
ZACK SNYDER -
don’t mean to sound weird but I get so immersed in the source material when I’m working on a movie that I kind of lose the line between what I thought of and what was in the book.
ZACK SNYDER -
