HBO Max Head Responds To Criticism Of Zack Snyder’s ‘Justice League’ Release
There have been mixed reactions to the announcement of Zack Snyder’s Justice League. Obviously, many are excited to see Snyder’s vision for the DC film come to fruition, but others have said that it sets a dangerous precedent for Hollywood by allowing filmmakers to redo a movie after a demand from fans. Some fans are now looking for the release of David Ayer’s cut of Suicide Squad and others following the announcement.
Zack Snyder’s Justice League will require more than $30 million to be completed and won’t be released until next year. In an interview with The Verge, HBO Max head Tony Goncalves responded the criticism of the precedent the Snyder Cut might set with other Warner Bros. properties now that it’s getting released:
“Look, definitely not a precedent. And you’re right. There’s different types of fandoms. There’s the fandom you just described, and there’s other fandoms. My reference to the fandoms is the fact that we’re in a space where consumers are loud. Consumers guide, and we absolutely have to listen as industry. I had a boss that once said, “Industry and consumers aren’t always aligned, but consumers do tend to win.” It’s a fine balance. And I think when it comes to video, when it comes to entertainment, when it comes to content, consumers have never had more choice, and they’ve never had more of a voice. But that doesn’t mean that we will go and invest our dollars in every single fandom that exists. But I think the reference to the Snyder Cut and theFriends fandom is the fact that consumers are speaking, and we have to listen. It doesn’t mean that we’re going to go redo every movie ever made. But I think that we definitely have to have our ear to the ground. And I think we do. I just go back to look at the buzz that theHarry Potter library brought us yesterday. It was a wonderful surprise and delight. It’s because consumers are passionate about these franchises.â€Â
