Director's cuts have long been talked about, with a few movies - Blade Runner instantly comes to mind - benefiting greatly from the filmmakers behind the camera being able to share their specific vision.
Over the years, Zack Snyder has delivered multiple director's cuts. There were three different versions of Watchmen and even Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice ended up with an R-Rated "Ultimate Edition" for its eventual Blu-ray release.
Needless to say, we probably don't need to recap the often-bizarre circumstances revolving around Zack Snyder's Justice League becoming a reality!
Later this year, the director will release lengthier versions of both Rebel Moon movies on Netflix, but it sounds like he's keen for another of his past projects to receive the same treatment: 2011's Sucker Punch.
"The only movie I would change is Sucker Punch, because it never really got finished correctly," Snyder tells Empire Online. "Even the director’s cut is not really the correct cut. It’s really just an extended version. If I had the chance, I would fix that movie."
"I have the footage already shot: they just have to let me put it together," he continues. "We ask every now and then. We have to ask again. I think there has to be a window when no-one’s got the movie."
As for how fans can help, it appears Snyder is angling for another "#ReleaseTheSnyderCut" movement. "If they want to start a campaign, that’s alright," the filmmaker teases.
Sucker Punch follows the story of Babydoll (Emily Browning), a young woman who is institutionalized by her abusive stepfather after a tragic incident involving her sister. In order to cope with her harsh reality, Babydoll retreats into a fantasy world where she imagines herself and her fellow inmates as skilled warriors on a quest for freedom.
Within these fantasy sequences, Babydoll and her companions, including Sweet Pea (Abbie Cornish), Rocket (Jena Malone), Blondie (Vanessa Hudgens), and Amber (Jamie Chung), embark on daring missions against fantastical foes, all while attempting to collect the items needed for their escape.
The impressive cast also included Carla Gugino, Oscar Isaac, Jon Hamm, and Scott Glenn.
The female-led movie drew largely negative reviews - it has a dire 22% on Rotten Tomatoes - and grossed a mere $89.8 million on a reported $82 million budget. Sucker Punch has its fair share of fans, but enough to warrant an extended edition? That's up for debate and likely a matter of opinion!
