Zack Snyder's Justice Lube Part 12: Arrow'd
/Scene 11: One Thing Happens (42:08-44:22)
INT. BOARDROOM - DAY
EXEC: So what’s happening in this scene?
ZACK SNYDER: Well, Connie Nielsen’s going to shoot this big flaming arrow.
EXEC: Cool. What else?
ZACK SNYDER: All the Amazons that Steppenwolf didn’t kill are going to line up and some badass warriors are going to bring the arrow in.
EXEC: Wait. So the entire scene is just Connie Nielsen shooting an arrow?
ZACK SNYDER: It’s the arrow of Artemis. It will reach the lands of men and alert Diana.
EXEC: So how do we know any of this?
ZACK SNYDER: One of the Amazons hands Connie Nielsen the arrow and says “The arrow of Artemis. It will reach the lands of men”.
EXEC: Doesn’t Connie Nielsen already know this?
ZACK SNYDER: Definitely.
EXEC: So -
ZACK SNYDER: She takes the arrow and says poetic stuff to it so it seems more interesting than just shooting an arrow. Then she lights it on fire and shoots it all the way to Greece.
EXEC: Uh -
ZACK SNYDER: See, the cool thing about the scene is that Connie Nielsen has to shoot an arrow, so she does that. The arrow starts a fire.
EXEC: How much did this scene cost?
ZACK SNYDER: The cool thing is that this movie is costing the studio around $1.5 million per minute, so this will run you … about $3,360,000.
EXEC: Oh my God.
ZACK SNYDER: The arrow is on fire!
