The Snyder Cut Will Cost More Than $30 Million, Says HBO Max Boss

When official news of the release of The Snyder Cut swept the Internet last week, early reports pegged the cost of bringing director Zack Snyder's true vision of the Justice League movie to life as being between $20-$30 million. But it's actually going to cost more than that, the head of HBO Max said in a new podcast interview. During an appearance on Recode Media's podcast (via Screenrant), WarnerMedia chairman and HBO Max boss Bob Greenblatt admitted that he wishes the Snyder Cut would only cost $30 million to release. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/justice-league-the-snyder-cut-official-hbo-max-announcement"] "It isn't as easy as going into the vault and there's a Snyder Cut sitting there to put out," Greenblatt explained. "Zack is actually building it and it's complex, including - and I don't wanna get into too much detail that we haven't already talked about yet - but, new effects shots." Greenblatt described the Snyder Cut as "a radical rethinking of that movie" and "complicated and wildly expensive. Which is, of course, a number I won't quote... I'll just say I wish it was $30 million and stop there."

In the meantime, Snyder will work with his team to get his version of the film into finished shape.
