Sounds like Netflix is pleased with their Zack Snyder partnership.

Quote

The Stone Quarry Productions, a banner run by filmmaker Zack Snyder, producing partner Deborah Snyder, and executive Wesley Coller, has signed a first-look film deal with Netflix.

 

The two-year deal anchors the filmmaking team to the streamer for which it made Army of the Dead, a zombie heist movie that is among the most-watched movies released by the digital company. And it comes just weeks after Snyder set up his next movie, sci-fi adventure tale Rebel Moon. The latter falls under the new deal.

 

“My goal and hope are to bring as much quality content as I can and do it on a giant scale,” Zack Snyder tells The Hollywood Reporter, brimming with energy. “Big projects and big movies.”

 

The company previously had a deal with Warner Bros., the studio for whom Snyder guided, either as director or producer, most of the DC superhero offerings in the modern age of comic book movies (except the Christopher Nolan Batman movies). That deal ended in 2019 and the duo spent time considering with whom they wanted to tie a knot.

 

“For us, it was so important to find a partnership that was based on mutual respect,” Deborah Snyder says. “The creative process works best when everybody trusts each other and you can take chances and be creative. For us, we don’t usually play it safe. The content we make is a little bit edgier. And I think it’s important to have a good partnership and hear each other.”

Netflix should buy DC.

Netflix ensuring to call attention to this just shows what a better studio environment he is dealing with.

Never seen this thread before, actually quite a fun read considering all the comments before ZSJL was ever officially announced. 
Got to admit I never thought it would see the light of day, still amazing how it came together.

Never say never.

Last night I watched the Justice League Gray version.

Were some of the scenes changed from the Snyder version to the Snyder Gray version?  It's been several months since I watched the Snyder version ...........

Either way, I enjoyed it!

IIRC, only the Knightmare Epilogue was slightly different in Justice is Gray.

Some of the scenes look very different, though. In the main thread, I mentioned that the contrast in metallic surfaces, and black/silver details stand out much more in JIG.

I was wrong.  I say that without metaphor.  Snyder cut was fun. I enjoyed it.  It was still a somewhat flawed movie.

Proof that you're a voice of reason; And - I would say - a voice of patience.

Movies do not have to be perfect to have fun or be good. You know that.  Any reasonable person knows that. I would in fact say all films have flaws., if you want to poke at them enough.

To say it was somewhat flawed comes across as mentally you forced yourself to find something because you initially thought it was going to be the same as the 2017 film.

So it's a win that even with that mindset you still came away feeling like it was fun.

First Watchmen. Now 300.

Netflix definitely wants to show its support of Zack Snyder's films.

Netflix celebrating Zack Snyder's birthday today. That has to feel different from WB Studios.

Haven't watched Army of the Dead yet.  Loved Watchman, loved 300, Sucker Punch was pretty but to me that story was a bit of a mess.

Go watch Army of the Dead. I need all four reviews or this will not work.

Same.

I kinda use Sucker Punch as a reel to fish out whether someone is a Snyder fan or a true DCEU fan.
