We’ve tried as hard as we can into keep the ideas intact in the hail storm that is Hollywood, so, whether he is or not, I’m personally proud of what I’ve been able to jam down their throats.
ZACK SNYDER -
The challenge with ‘Watchmen’ is making sure that the ideas that were in the book got into the movie. That was my biggest stretch. I wanted people to watch the movie and get it. It’s one of those things where, over time, it has happened more.
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 -
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.

ZACK SNYDER -
I felt like, in the recent past, people have been apologizing for Superman, a little bit, for his costume, for his origins, and for the way he fits into society.
ZACK SNYDER -
For whatever reason I was always obsessed with the potential of humanity’s physicality. Especially since we grew up with such a non-physical philosophy.
ZACK SNYDER -
My mom always encouraged me, it was never weird. She’d look at ‘Heavy Metal’ and go ‘Woo-hoo!’
ZACK SNYDER -
Probably the hardest thing to do was the beginning of the movie [“300”], I think, when we were in Sparta and all that – just getting in the groove.

I do like Superman as a character, and I have followed him throughout the years.
