Oh btw, just so everyone is on the same page, here’s a quick easy-to-understand chronology of the “script versions”
So the first script was they one the were working on while BvS was in post and up to the release of BvS which was a week or so before going into production of JL. That original script was for PART ONE, meaning it was probably quite different. That script was never shot per-se, because as we all know BvS came out, got a shit reception and the WB execs hit the Panic button… so that’s when we get to:
The second script, which was the script that got shot (and it was mostly shot, since they finished principal photography), AKA the infamous “Snyder Cut”… That script was reworked to be a single one off JL movie, so a lot of the ideas of the original 2-part plan were probably removed/reworked. So just to be clear, when people talk about the “Snyder Cut” or the “214 cut”, this is the script they’re referring to.
The third script is the Whedon script, meaning the one that contains all of the Whedon re-writes and the one we got to see in theaters.
Soooo… with that in mind, the announced “Zack Snyder’s Justice League” project, is none of the above per-se. Obviously he ain’t gonna use any of the Whedon stuff… But beyond that, from what we understand, what he’s doing is taking all the footage he has from that “Snyder Cut” and repurposing into a longer & bigger thing… remember, that “Snyder Cut” was 214 minutes long, the mini-series is expected to be 240 minutes long as per the announcements. So, the wroking theory is that this mini-series will be mainly the material/footage from the 2nd script (with changes, obviously) but that he’ll also be adding stuff from them first… we just don’t know to which degree…
There’s also a very strong rumour going around that they might be setting up a continuation of the “Snyder-verse” in case it indeed is as popular as to warrant it. So they might be adding some lead-ins to a possible Batfleck movie/series or even a Cavill Superman sequel.
Point is, no one really knows, and most reporting on this has been bullshit since day one… so the safest bet is to stick to what Snyder himself has said and what the trades are actually confirming, not just reporting as “rumours”.
