Zack Snyder

But she, one Christmas, got me a subscription to Heavy Metal.

Did she know?

She didn't know.

She just thought it was a cool comic book.

And I didn't say anything, of course.

And that really...

That comic book, and when you see the R-rated version of Rebel Moon when it comes out, because basically the deal I made with Netflix was they said, I wrote this script, and I said, this is the script I want to make.

And they said, that is insane.

And I said, yeah, but it's like heavy metal, but like in live action.

And they were like, yeah.

Is there any way it could be PG-13?

And I was like, well, if it's PG-13, it kind of misses the whole point a little bit.

But I can imagine that for a mass audience and for viewership, that seems like the smart way to go.

I go, what about this?

What if we make, if I make, take this script, I make you a PG-13 version that you can just blast into the world and hopefully as many people see it as possible.

And then you let me, as a bonus, you just let me make this version exactly as I think.

And they were like, okay, that sounds cool.

So coming at the end of the summer, you'll see my two three-hour versions of Rebel Moon that are like hard, R-rated, the hardest.

Which you wanted to do.

Which I exactly wanted to do.
