Zack Snyder's newest film is apparently so big, Netflix has to make it two movies.
earlier in the week, Netflix co-head of original films Ori Marmur confirmed this would be the case. The reason for this, according to him, is owed to Snyder, since the story apparently can’t be just locked to one film.
“When we saw how big the world he created was, we thought it would be better served as two pieces versus one film,” said Marmur. “Marmur further added that Snyder has had the concept for the film in his head “for decades,” and evenStar Wars movie to Lucasfilm years before Disney would buy the company. Even its story feels very familiar to those films, mixed in with some of Akira Kurosawa’swho has to assemble a group of warriors to push back an invading galactic empire.Snyder himself is no stranger to multi-part films, as that was his plan for the DC Extended Universe, and hismeant to be a duology. That never manifested, but he’s getting his wish here.
and its larger franchise plans, don’t be surprised if we get more from Snyder’s sci-fi world beyond these two movies.Want more io9 news? Check out when to expect the latest
