Zack Snyder wants to make a director’s cut version, reshooting the ending with the original cast.
Despite facing criticism when it first came out and not doing well at the box office, “Sucker Punch” gained a cult following after its release on home video.
In a conversation with Total Film (via Inverse), Snyder has disclosed his plans to unveil a director’s cut for “Sucker Punch.”
The director of “Rebel Moon” mentioned that discussions are underway with Warner Bros. regarding returning to “Sucker Punch” for reshoots of final scenes, involving original cast members Emily Browning and Abby Cornish.
This decision comes even after the release of an extended edition of “Sucker Punch.”
Snyder said, “I’m working with Warner Bros. to find a suitable time to revisit. Even though we did an extended version, it’s not the fully realized movie.”
He added, “I think it’s good if I can get those guys, Emily [Browning], Abby [Cornish], and the crew for some reshoots.”
