don't mean to sound weird but I get so immersed in the source material when I'm working on a movie that I kind of lose the line between what I thought of and what was in the book.

Well, Bradbury's a genius. Fahrenheit 451 is one of my favorite books of all time, and The Illustrated Man as a collection of short stories ranks up there. When you read it you realize how influential it is on so many other stories and people.

I aim my movies, as much as I can, at myself. I think that those movies have an interesting quality. They're very movieish. They are movie movies. Like I think Watchmen is a very self-aware movie. 300. Dawn of the Dead definitely. That's really where I've ended up.

I've always been influenced by the human form. I'm a big fan of that Shakespeare quote. I tend to leave out the bad part of the paragon of animals quote, because I have this sort of Ayn Rand aesthetic. It was always one of those quotes that inspired me.

You can't will something into being. If you follow that philosophy all the way, to will something into being, that's animal style. That's what man does. But if you're looking at the philosophy correctly, and I never did - I like to think I did sometimes - you have to do it without ego, without the I. You have to separate yourself.

People always come up to me now and say, 'Watchmen' is the best superhero movie ever made.' I'm always saying 'That's super cool. That's nice of you to say.' But it happens now, more and more and more than it did when it first came out.

Reality's its own thing. And I'm not really into reality that much. I'm into this cinematic stylized reality that can comment on reality. It's like the most beautiful parts of reality and the saddest parts, but it's none of this middle ground.
Zack Snyder
Image
I believe that pop culture is just, like, so ready for 'Watchmen.' We tried so hard to ride that wave between satire and reality, and all the things that make you still care about the character, but you don't miss the commentary about them.

I'd say the purest experience for the movie is not to have read the book because I think when you've read the book you're just ticking off boxes. I think that after you see the movie, reading the book is a cool thing. I always say the movie's not meant to replace the book. That's ridiculous. I'm a huge fan of the book.

When I make a live-action movie, it's a very physical process. It's like running a marathon.

The truth is these characters [of Batman story] evolve, and there's a lot of hands in the supporting of these characters. It's great when everybody can know where everything came from. It's important for the legacy of them.
Zack Snyder
Image
You know it has all the kind of fun stuff. It has the countermeasures - we always talk about the countermeasures because people are like, What the heck is countermeasures? You know if I shot a missile at it, flares would pop out of those holes and stop the missile from hitting it.

I love comic books - maybe to a fault sometimes.
Zack Snyder
Image
There's very few dork movies made by dorks.

Our plans for 'Superman?' I can't say. This is the most super secret thing ever. It's like working for the government, like I'm on a covert mission.
Zack Snyder
Image
Yeah, I mean, I think I'm obsessed with tone in the movies. Tone has always been the main thing that I go after with a movie.
Zack Snyder
Image
I think that when you see the trailer [on movie 300] - my feeling is anyway and maybe I'm not objective because I live it - but I think when you see it you immediately go, 'Okay, this is another sort of way of doing this.'
Zack Snyder
Image
One of the things I think is important about 'Watchmen' is that it have resonance within cinematic pop culture as well as superhero culture.
Zack Snyder
Image
I'm interested in animation. I actually feel like I've learned so much about the process how to make an animated movie.
Zack Snyder
Image
I love the irony of movies. I really do. For whatever reason, I'm incredibly intrigued by the irony of reality in a motion picture.
Zack Snyder
Image
Also I've got to say in the movie [300] Gorgo, who is the Queen, she has also a part that is - I think - I don't want to say, 'Oh look, it's multi-quadrant,' and all this. I believe that it is because I think my dad can see this movie and go, 'F**k yeah!
Zack Snyder
Image
I think Sin City is a good example. Nobody would accuse Sin City of being historically inaccurate because it takes place in modern times.
Zack Snyder
Image
I heard one time that the Superman glyph is the second or third most recognizable symbol on Earth after the Christian cross.
Zack Snyder

I imagine the film [300] as if I was a Spartan and I had never seen an immortal or a Persian, or an elephant or a rhino for that matter.
