Warner Bros. didn't understand Zack Snyder's pitch for 300. They thought it was too similar to other recent sword and sandals movies like Troy. So he convinced them to let him make this proof of concept. "Then they said 'ok, we're going to give you some money. Not a lot. A small amount. To go and film a scene from the movie.' I really just wanted to show them the style of the world rather than a specific moment from the script to say 'this is the world it takes place in,' so we did this little sort of 360 degree shot of a Spartan fighting some Persian soldiers."

As a safety measure on the set of Army of the Dead, Zack Snyder had prop master Brett Andrews design customized airsoft guns, replacing many components with authentic gun parts. In 'Army of the Dead: The Making of the Film' book, Andrews says it wasn't only safer, but also faster to film, and far more budget friendly. With over 900,000 rounds of airsoft ammunition during production, Andrews said "the math works out to something "ludicrous" compared to traditional blank-fire guns.

"I mean, obviously Love Actually is my favorite Christmas movie because that is just the best Christmas movie, probably." "Favorite character?" "I would say… the Liam Neeson storyline, only because the “let’s go get the sh!t kicked out of us by love” moment is probably, you know… everyone gets a little weepy."

James Cameron once said Zack Snyder is one of his cinematic inspirations. "I certainly have studied the masters, you know David Lean, Hitchcock, Kubrick, you know everybody.. "Directors that continue to inspire me, Ridley Scott, I mean I'll go to see any Ridley Scott movie, even the ones that bomb to me are great because of the fabric of the filmmaking, you know just the way he sees, the way he places the camera and so on. "And I'm out there going to school every day. I think any good filmmaker is out there going to school. I'm also inspired by, these are established filmmakers now, but I remember being very inspired by them when they first kind of broke on the scene like Zack Snyder and Robert Rodriguez, guys that were just creating their own new cinematic language, you know. So I can be inspired by somebody whose name I don't even know."

Gal Gadot shared her screen test with Ben Affleck for Batman v Superman: "Twelve years ago today, I was cast as Wonder Woman. What a wild, life-changing ride with a character I love so much. I thought it would be fun to share my camera test with Ben — I watched it last night for the first time 😜 Zack Snyder thank you for sharing this with me and for casting me as Diana Prince. 🙅🏻♀️♥️" (Gal Gadot - IG)

Part of Zack Snyder's 300 pitch to Warner Bros. Included a 300 motion comic narrated by Scott Glenn. "So the first thing we did was we took the book and we scanned it into the computer. We photoshopped out all the dialogue. Kurt and I wrote a script..." "And a friend of ours, this actor named Scott Glenn, he was kind enough to come down and do a little awesome voiceover to make it cool."

Zack Snyder: "When you make a movie, a lot of times you take a second camera, and if the actors are talking, you stick a second camera in there to try and get a close up or something like that to make it move along faster. "That second camera normally suffers a little bit in its composition design just because it's not the primary focus, but for this movie, it's a one camera show." Larry Fong: "His shots are so designed, so it's hard to kind of get a B camera just somewhere to get another shot. He won't use it. When you're doing 180 degree dolly moves and stuff, I mean, where do you put the other camera? "It's great for me because that means I can make each shot the way I want it to without compromising, which you usually do when you have two."

Costume designer Michael Wilkinson describes changes being made to an earlier version of Henry Cavill's Superman suit after a camera test behind the scenes of Zack Snyder's Man of Steel. "So what we're looking at here is the Superman suit from the second camera test. And the notes we got back from that we're going to make a few adjustments for our next camera test. "We decided that we didn't like this central shape so we've cut that out. We've made a few adjustments to these lines here to act like the idea that it had a more geometric, slightly harder, stronger line through here, a little bit like the cut lines of the human anatomy. "We're making our buckle a little bit bigger. And in general we're just adjusting the thickness of a lot of these pieces so it really feels like they're more integrated with the suit that they just sort of are like almost like an embossing. "And with just some general R&D work that we're doing with the way that the cape attaches to the suit, there's a lot going on here. "You're trying to make something beautiful and sculptural disappear into an impossibly thin membrane here and make it all look as beautiful as possible because we're going to be really close up for a lot of the movies so we're spending a lot of time and resources in getting that right. "It definitely pays respect to the classical details of the Superman costume but we're rendering it in a very high-tech current kind of a process."

Before #ZackSnyder got involved, #Watchmen was almost a VERY different movie. "When I first got the script...it was a PG-13 movie, it was 2-hours long, it was sequel-able... "Adrian dies - killed by Nite Owl at the end - very little Manhattan, very little of Comedian's funeral. "It's just Rorschach - no interrogation- you know, these are things that were, like, that was the movie. "Super clean Hollywood movie...It was updated to the War on Terror. All that stuff was real. At that time it wasn't exactly the War on Terror, it was just updated to modern time. That was the one note that I had been given. Saying like 'we love the script, we wish it was War on Terror rather than just a modern conflict'. "When I turned them back in a 1985, R-rated, long script...The studio did the opposite that you would think Hollywood would do."
