I write in a pretty straightforward way. I kind of sit down at page one and start writing.
ZACK SNYDERdon’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.

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 -
Our plans for ‘Superman?’ I can’t say. This is the most super secret thing ever. It’s like working for the government, like I’m on a covert mission.
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 -
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 mean, it’s weird because people lately have been coming up to me and going, ‘Oh, my God. ‘300’ is huge.’ I’m like, ‘Really? It’s not done yet!
ZACK SNYDER -
In the sense that Watchmen references movies, comic books, pop culture in general. It knows it’s a movie. I really do like movies that ride that fine line, the razor’s edge between parody and supporting the fake movie part of the movie.

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.

The problem is, when you’re making an animated movie, the studio has an illusion in their minds – and it’s really not true – that because it’s a drawing, it can be changed at any time.
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 -
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.

The thing about owls is that they do sort of have this facial disc, which is unlike any other bird. They kind of have a face, more than like a dog or a giraffe. They have this weird, alien face that you can actually make expressive.
