Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Zack Snyder still plans on releasing the director's cut of one of his most polarizing movies – Sucker Punch. Released in 2011, the film follows a young woman named Babydoll who is committed to a psychiatric hospital and envisions a series of fantasy worlds where she and her fellow inmates are strong, capable warriors.
The Snyder Cut of Justice League, which was widely considered to be an improvement over the original, has opened the door to more director's cut opportunities for Snyder. During a recent interview with Letterboxd, the director said he still plans on releasing the Snyder cut of Sucker Punch, though he has yet to actually assemble it. He also discussed the movie's original ending involving Babydoll, which the "studio thought was too weird," so they had to change it.
I've never gotten around to doing the director's cut. I still plan to at some point. But in the original ending when Babydoll is in the chair in the basement with Blue - she's already been lobotomized - when the cop shines the light on her, the set breaks apart and she stands up and she sings a song on stage. Yeah. She sings, “Ooh, Child, things are gonna get easier.
The Story Behind The Snyder Cut of Sucker Punch In addition to receiving negative reactions from critics and audiences alike, Sucker Punch underperformed at the box office, grossing just $89 million against its $82 million budget. The theatrical cut of Sucker Punch was toned down to a PG-13 rating, though the movie's extended cut was included on the Blu-ray release which added 18 minutes of additional footage and restored its originally intended R-rating.
