September 9, 2015: Zack Snyder Talks Doritos, "Superhero Fatigue" and More

Batman v Superman Yahoo! Movies has published an article/interview which reveals that Zack Snyder is involved in the 2015 "Crash the Superbowl" campaign from Doritos, where the lucky winning filmmaker will get to work alongside him on an upcoming Warner Bros./DC superhero movie.

    As he puts the finishing touches on Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice and preps to unleash chaos on Gotham, Snyder is helping Doritos end its mega-successful Super Bowl advertising campaign with a bang. After ten years and more than 32,000 entries, the addictive Frito-Lay chip is running its last "Crash the Superbowl" campaign, which tasks aspiring filmmakers with making a 30-second commercial inspired by Doritos (last year, a 35-year-old first-time director won the prize).

    This year, fans at home will determine the winning ad, which will air during the Super Bowl. In addition, the lucky (and very talented) filmmaker who created it will get to work with Snyder on the set of an upcoming Warner Bros. and DC superhero movie. The winner will also get a $1 million prize, while the two runners-up will score a cool $100,000 and get to consult on an upcoming Doritos campaign.

Beyond that however, Snyder also spoke about the recent comment by Stephen Spielberg that superhero movies would eventually die off like Westerns have. Here's Snyder's response to that...

    He might not be wrong. I think it puts more pressure on us, the filmmakers, to not just crank out superhero movies for the sake of it. To me, the one thing I love working in the DC universe is that Superman and Batman and Wonder Woman are American mythology. It's not about making a superhero, it's a mythological universe that we live in. That I hope stands the test of time. They stood the test of time. That's hopefully the sort of magic bullet. But who knows what audiences will want in the future.
