Zack Snyder’s zombie heist movie Army of the Dead is all set to creat a buzz. Zack Snyder is known for his contributions to the DC cinematic universe (which will culminate next month in his definitive re-edit of Justice League). But the Batman v Superman filmmaker has made his directorial debut with 2004’s Dawn of the Dead. This is a remake of George Romero’s zombie classic. Now Snyder is all set to return to zombieland with Army of the Dead, and the first teaser trailer has just arrived.
In a recent interview with EW, Snyder described the project as “a full-blown, balls-to-the-wall zombie heist movie.”
In Army of the Dead is all set to premier – May 21 on Netflix, a deadly plague has been released from Nevada’s secretive Area 51 military base. The U.S. government is working to manage and contain the outbreak by building a wall around an overrun Sin City, but there’s still all that cash in zombie-infested casinos. If only somebody is brave enough to try to go and get it.
The film is about a group of mercenaries who attempt a heist at a Las Vegas casino, with Dave Bautista leading the charge as Scott Ward. The cast also features Matthias Schweighöfer, Ella Purnell, Ana de la Reguera, Garret Dillahunt, Raúl Castillo, Omari Hardwick, and Tig Notaro, who replaced Chris D’Elia as the rebranded sarcastic helicopter pilot Marianne Peters.
