MAN OF STEEL Running Time Revealed; Zack Snyder Promises References To The DC Univers
Empire Magazine met with Man of Steel director Zack Snyder while he was putting together his final cut of the movie, meaning that they learned roughly how long it will run for. Snyder meanwhile discusses the 3D conversion and referencing the greater DC Universe.
Zack Snyder's Watchmen has received numerous extended editions since its theatrical release in 2009, but according to Empire Magazine's Man of Steel set report, that won't happen with Man of Steel. Rather than imitating Christopher Nolan's butt-numbing The Dark Knight Trilogy with a running time of 160+ minutes, the final cut of Man of Steel will be around two hours and ten minutes and Snyder says that, "The movie is the director's cut." Talk then turned to the arguably controversial decision to convert the movie to 3D. However, the director said that seeing some test footage was enough to convince him that there was no need to shoot in the format. "It is just my humble opinion, but it is better than native now. By the way, we like to think that the 3D is just another way of seeing the movie. It is not Superman 3D, it is Man of Steel, available in 3D." Finally, while he refused to give anything specific away, it certainly sounds as if Man of Steel really is the beginning of a cinematic universe for DC. "I have been making references to the DC Universe, just to let you know that world is out there..." he teased.
