Zack Snyder is back in the zombie business with his latest film Army of The Dead and it looks like the Netflix release will take him back to the roots he established with his remake of Dawn of the Dead.
Zack Snyder directed and co-wrote the film alongside Shay Hatten and Joby Harold and the film has been in development for years. Fans will finally get to see it all come to life when the film premieres on Netflix on May 21, 2021. Described as a zombie heist movie, the film follows a group of mercenaries that plot a heist on a Las Vegas casino during a zombie outbreak. In addition to Bautista, the film also stars Ella Purnell, Ana de la Reguera, Garret Dillahunt, Raul Castillo, Omari Hardwick, Hiroyuki Sanada, Tig Notaro, and Matthias Schweighofer.
Accompanying the release of the film is an international multi-language prequel movie directed by cast member Matthias Schweighofer, which will follow his own character, Ludwig Dieter, and an anime series called Army of the Dead: Lost Vegas. The anime series will focus on the origin of Dave Bautista’s character Scott as he and a rescue crew try to navigate the mysterious beginning of the zombie outbreak in Las Vegas.
