BACK IN 2017, THE JUSTICE LEAGUE FEATURE film assembled six of Earth’s mightiest heroes – Aquaman, Batman, Cyborg, Flash, Superman and Wonder Woman – to save the world from Darkseid’s minion Steppenwolf and an army of Parademons. Now Zack Snyder’s Justice League cut brings back the director to fulfill his creative vision and heal his soul.
Snyder (Man Of Steel, 300, Dawn Of The Dead) had been tasked with helming the original League. But in 2016, after numerous clashes with Warner Brothers over the project’s narrative content, running time and tone, tragedy struck. Snyder’s 20-year-old daughter Autumn took her own life.
In the aftermath, a grieving Snyder quit and The Avengers’ Joss Whedon stepped in to finish the job. He reportedly rewrote and reshot 75% of Justice League… to disastrous results. The movie received harsh reviews and landed with a loud thud at the box office.
But then something unexpected occurred: Snyder’s vocal fanbase rallied to mount a campaign, #ReleaseTheSnyderCut. The devoted movement engaged in petitions, social media and phone calls, as well as spending money on billboards and flying banner ads in order to get his original cut released. Eventually, Warner Brothers caved in, and in an unprecedented move, the studio approached Snyder with the opportunity to realise his vision of the Justice League. He declined.

Making Alien - Jaws in Space - Forty-five years on from its original release, Alien continues to terrify. We dissect what arguably remains the most chilling instalment in the saga
The seven-strong crew of the commercial mining spacecraft the Nostromo seal their fate after reluctantly responding to a mysterious distress signal on a hostile planet. Here, a face-hugging alien from a derelict ship impregnates and later kills executive officer Kane (John Hurt) after its offspring is birthed onboard. After being unleashed, the fearsome newborn with acid for blood proceeds to dispatch the remainder of the crew.Ridley Scott's much more convoluted prequels have yet to reveal how the knowledge that led to this initial interception was acquired. However, the premise of the original Alien is perfect in its uncomplicated purity.
