Come on. I don’t see how the series can top the movie by Snyder. So many series get green lit nd get cancelled later on. This is why I have lost interest in series. Are there any good series out there?

Hollywood can sometimes feel like a cutthroat industry, but it’s always refreshing to hear stories of big stars taking the time to reach out and congratulate their peers on their success. Zack Snyder, the visionary filmmaker behind hits likeDawn of the Deadand300, once shared a heartwarming anecdote about none other thanTom Cruise.
It all started with Snyder’s groundbreaking adaptation of Frank Miller’s novel300, which took the world by storm with its unique visual style and impressive VFX. The film shattered box office records, and it was during the peak of its success that Snyder received a surprise call from Cruise (viaTHR).
Snyder was filming a Miller Lite commercial when his phone rang, and to his surprise, it was Cruise on the line. The actor congratulated Snyder on the success of300and even discussed its record-breaking opening numbers with him. TheJustice Leaguedirector was understandably shocked and humbled by Cruise’s gesture, but the surprises didn’t end there.
Shortly after his conversation with Cruise, Snyder received a call from Alan Horn, then-head of Warner Bros., who wanted to discuss300’s incredible success. When Snyder mentioned that theRain Manactor had already reached out to him, it just showed that even the biggest stars take notice of each other’s work and are quick to offer their congratulations. Snyder shared with the outlet:
I was like, ‘Oh, Tom already told me’.
It’s obvious that Cruise had a genuine interest in Snyder’s work and wanted to learn more about his creative process.
