Zack Snyder
Be honest—how many times have you had sex in the Nite Owl ship?
Zack Snyder: You know, it’s difficult to count because of the heavy petting that doesn’t go all the way. You forget whether it was consummated or not, but probably dozens.
So you’re familiar with all the gadgets?
Zack Snyder: Oh, yeah. You have to [test it out]. Because there was a love scene to be done; you wanted to make sure that it’s comfortable.
That’s very thoughtful of you.
Zack Snyder: I’m prepared to help out.
How many meetings did it take to decide on the dimensions of Manhattan’s penis?
Zack Snyder: I think it was one big meeting. [Laughs.] Or one long meeting, depending upon how you want to approach that.
Everyone agreed that Watchmen shouldn’t become a Ron Jeremy movie?
Zack Snyder: Yeah, you can’t think too hard on that. You just go with your gut. That road is…not good.
You don’t want to scare away the kids who sneak in.
Zack Snyder: No, no, no.
You knew he wouldn’t be in blue briefs, though, right?
Zack Snyder: Yeah, I didn’t want to do that. I said, “Listen guys. This is violent and sexy, and there’s going to be a naked blue guy walking around. I just want to be clear that this is rated R so we don’t end up with you going, lsquo;Where’s my PG-13 movie?’”
