Breaking: Zack Snyder and Dan Harmon Engage in Secret Meeting for Highly Anticipated Rick & Morty Movie!

Summary

"Rick and Morty" co-creator Dan Harmon once had a meeting with Zack Snyder about a possible movie adaptation of the popular animated series.

Snyder, known for his darker filmmaking style, has shown interest in partnering with Harmon on a comedic project such as a potential "Rick and Morty" movie. Although the specifics of their collaboration are still unclear, both Harmon and Snyder seem excited to bring their visionary film project to life.

Dan Harmon has shared information about his discussion with Zack Snyder regarding the production of a Rick & Morty film. Despite the departure of Justin Roiland due to allegations of sexual misconduct, the popular animated sci-fi comedy show on Adult Swim will continue with eagerly awaited new episodes. Two yet-to-be-named voice actors who sound like Roiland will assume the roles of Rick Sanchez and Morty Smith, immersing viewers in their characteristic thrilling escapades.

As the release date for Rick and Morty season 7 approaches, co-creator Harmon is discussing the idea of bringing the action to the big screen with a theatrical movie. Recently, he had a meeting with Snyder, a well-known fan of the show and former mastermind of the DCEU, who offered his assistance in getting the movie started. Harmon shared the details of their conversation, stating that Snyder expressed his enthusiasm and willingness to contribute his Snyder-esque style to the project. Harmon humorously mentioned that the Rick and Morty movie will be released once Snyder returns from his vacation, with plans to begin with a Snyder cut of the film, followed by a director's cut of the Snyder cut, resulting in a six-hour movie, with three hours of it presented in black and white.

Snyder Has Spoken Before of His Rick and Morty Dreams

Snyder's films, although set in science-fiction settings like his upcoming Netflix feature Rebel Moon, differ greatly from the lighthearted and comedic tone of Rick and Morty. While comedy is not typically associated with Snyder, he believes that collaborating with Harmon and his team for a film adaptation of Adult Swim's most popular show would be a fitting opportunity if he were to venture into the realm of humor. In an interview with Film Junkee Vodka Screen in 2021, Snyder expressed that he doesn't have a film solely focused on comedy, but the Rick and Morty Movie would come closest to that.

Despite the fact that Snyder and Harmon's discussion of a potential Rick & Morty film never progressed beyond the initial stages, it appears that Harmon, at least, remains interested in bringing their cinematic vision to life. It is difficult to envision how the two contrasting creative forces would meld together in such a movie, but it is possible that Snyder would assume a background role, utilizing his influence to facilitate the film's production while leaving the comedic aspects to Harmon and his talented team of writers.
