Zack Snyder steps back to deal with daughter’s death

Zack Snyder is stepping away from his directing duties on “Justice League” to deal with the death of his 20-year-old daughter. Warner Bros. confirmed that Joss Whedon (“The Avengers”) will finish postproduction on the upcoming DC Comics film so that it can hit its Nov. 17 release date. Snyder initially kept the details of his daughter Autumn’s suicide private in March, and the film took a two-week break. “I’ve decided to take a step back from the movie to be with my family, be with my kids, who really need me. They are all having a hard time. I’m having a hard time.”
