Zack
Snyder
is
currently
building
a
Star
Wars-like
world
with
his
Rebel
Moon
franchise,
but
that’s
not
stopping
him
from
looking
toward
the
future
and
wanting
to
make
a
movie
out
of
his
favorite
video
game,
Fortnite.
The
architect
of
the
now-dead
DCEU
is
a
huge
fan
of
Fortnite,
and
who
can
blame
him?
The
game
is
highly
addictive,
and
its
latest
updates
have
injected
new
life
into
the
video
game.
During
a
recent
interview
for
his
new
film
Rebel
Moon,
which
critics
lambasted
by
critics,
Snyder
was
asked
about
the
prospect
of
directing
a
Fortnite
movie.
“I
mean,
of
course,”
Snyder
told
the
interviewer,
who
asked
if
he
ever
“want
to
combine”
his
passion
for
filmmaking
and
playing
the
addictive
video
game.
Snyder
even
noted
his
valiant
attempt
to
get
free
skins
based
on
his
Rebel
Moon
characters
into
the
game.
“Look,
Fortnite
is
an
amazing
world,
and
it
is
an
amazing
distraction
for
me,”
Snyder
said.
“It’s
really
cool,
and
the
alchemy
that
they’ve
created
there
is
really
unique.
When
I
started
playing
it,
I
thought
I
knew
what
it
was,
and
then
it
was
something
entirely
different.”
He
continued,
“You
definitely
don’t
know.
You
definitely
can
never
say
never.
That’s
my
mantra
in
this
business.”
Consider
us
intrigued
at
the
thought
of
a
Snyder-esque
Fortnite
universe,
full
of
his
love
for
slow-motion
shots
and
intense
action.
But
please,
Zack,
we
know
you
love
to
make
things
rather
dark,
and
Fortnite
is
far
from
that.
We
don’t
need
another
DECU/Snydevers
situation
here.
Lighten
it
up
a
bit,
and
have
some
fun.
Fortnite
is
a
goofy
game
that
makes
it
possible
for
hulky
Peter
Griffin
and
Optimus
Prime
to
face
off
against
each
other.
