The filmmaker released an R-rated director’s cut for both chapters of the space opera on Netflix and revealed that he was excited for fans to watch the R-rated version of his favorite scene.

The two-part saga saw aStar Wars-inspired story of rebels who go against an intergalactic empire after their home world is threatened. Released on Netflix last year, the films gained the top spot on the platform’s Top 10 for weeks but were not well received by critics. Snyder released an R-rated director’s cut of both the films on August 2.
In an interview withThe Hollywood Handle, Snyder spoke about multiple details in the sci-fi film series and the upcoming projects in the franchise. Responding to a fan question about his favorite scene to shoot inRebel Moon, he said,
Kora fighting the guys in the barn, killing all the Imperial guys in the barn. That felt old school. It was like old school fighting and shooting and really just going, you know, shot to shot, and really telling that story was really fun. And I can’t wait for you to see the R-rated version of it.
Thescene in questionsees Kora, played by Sofia Boutella, barge into a barn where a group of Imperial soldiers are holding a few villagers hostage. Many fans criticized the scene for its overuse of slow motion and lack of blood.
Zack Snyder’s Favorite Scene In His Filmography Comes FromWatchmen
While films likeDawn of the Deadand300put Zack Snyder on the map, it was 2009’sWatchmenthat made the filmmaker get into hardcore comic book films. An adaptation of Alan Moore’s graphic novel of the same name, the superhero film saw many traces of what would be the director’s trademark style in treating larger-than-life heroes.

While the film has plenty of memorable sequences, including the beautiful opening montage set to Bob Dylan’sThe Times They Are a-Changin, Snyder reportedly has a favorite that claims the top spot in his entire filmography. The filmmaker said to The Hollywood Handle,
I would say one of my favorite sequences is the birth of Dr Manhattan, that is probably one of my favorite sequences in my movies.
Thealmost ten-minute sequencesees Billy Crudup’s Dr. Manhattan narrate and contemplate about the origin of his existence from meeting the love of his life Janey Slater to his eventual disappointment with the human race.
