Colin Farrell in SWAT
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Zack Snyder reveals the SWAT remake movie he wanted to direct, comparing the unmade film to his own super-violent 300. Released in 2003, Clark Johnson’s action-thriller starred Colin Farrell, Jeremy Renner, Samuel L. Jackson and Michelle Rodriguez in the high-octane tale of an elite police unit tasked with transporting a drug kingpin who’s offered a reward to anyone who can free him from custody.
The PG-13 rating for SWAT helped it put up such good box office numbers, but the movie originally could have been an R-rated, super-violent action film, as Snyder revealed recently while talking about the other project he tried taking on before directing Dawn of the Dead. Check out the director's remarks below :
Dawn of the Dead, which is a movie I made with Universal and Scott Stuber. I think they had had another director that was gonna do the movie. At that time, I was a commercial director. I turned down SWAT. I was on SWAT and I said, "No, I wanna make an R-rated SWAT. I want it to be hardcore. I want it to be like 300 with machine guns." And they were like, "No, we don't want that." So I said, "Okay, that's fine." And I went back to making commercials...
Why Snyder Was Lucky To Lose SWAT In Favor Of Dawn Of The Dead Sony had no reason to be unhappy with the version of SWAT that was delivered, given its $200-million-plus box office performance. It indeed sounds as though Snyder’s version of the movie would have been a hard R, a move that would have limited the film’s box office prospects.
Leaving SWAT may have sent Snyder back to directing commercials, but he was quickly back in the movie game, hooking up with Universal for his Dawn of the Dead remake. One of the bigger critical successes of his career, as evidenced by its 76% fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes, Snyder’s Dawn grossed $102 million on a budget of $26 million.
