In an interview with The Hook, Snyder was asked what his favorite Christmas movie was. The director quickly replied that he loved the 2003 film Love Actually. Being a story about 8 couples depicting the various types of relationships, Snyder revealed that his favorite one was Liam Neeson’s!

“I mean, obviously Love Actually is my favorite Christmas movie because that is just the best Christmas movie, probably. [My favorite character?] I would say… the Liam Neeson storyline, only because the “let’s go get the s—t kicked out of us by love” moment is probably, you know… everyone gets a little weepy.”

Being a director known for his action movies and director’s cuts, Zack Snyder seemed to have a special place in his heart for the 2003 movie. In a different interview, the veteran director talked about the freedom of having director’s cuts.

With the recently released Rebel Moon: Part One – A Child of Fire making controversial rounds around the internet, it seems that Zack Snyder has something to say. In an interview with iNews, the director talked about his love for his director’s cuts.

It’s my experience that the director’s cuts of my movies are universally considered better than what I released in the movie theatre under the thumb of people that know better than me. I wasn’t fighting anyone.”

He further continued,

I guess my kneejerk aesthetic happens to be darker. If I go with my instincts it ends up being R-rated. Director’s cuts I’ve done in the past have always been motivated by a contentious relationship with the studio.”

Snyder’s recently released film, Rebel Moon managed to gather an average rating of 5.8/10 on IMDB and a meager low of 23% on Rotten Tomatoes. The film is available to stream on Netflix around the world as Zack Snyder busies himself with the sequel.
