SNYDER, ZOMBIES, A HALF-DECENT FILM AND NETFLIX…

Filming is underway in Atlantic City on Dawn of the Dead remake director Zack Snyder‘s new zombie movie Army of the Dead, set amid a zombie outbreak in Las Vegas. In the upcoming Netflix film, “a man assembles a group of mercenaries to take the ultimate gamble, venturing into the quarantined zone to pull off the greatest heist ever attempted.”

Below, Snyder reveals a bit more about the film’s plot.

“The movie takes place in Las Vegas,” Snyder explained. “A zombie plague hits Vegas, and they’re able to contain the virus to the city – they build a wall out of shipping containers. And then the city falls. And six years later, one of the casino owners hires this group of zombie soldiers to go get his money that he left in a safe in the casino.”

The budget is so big, it is reportedly in the $90 million range, so it’s no cheap affair for Netflix. And Army Of The Dead is Snyder’s first film since he stepped off the set of Justice League after a family tragedy, famously handing over the reins to Avengers director Joss Whedon.

With the main cast set as Dave Bautista, Garret Dillahunt, Ella Purnell, Omari Hardwick, Raul Castillo, Chris D’Elia, Theo Rossi, and Ana de la Reguera.

Snyder seemed eager to get back in the game, and Culturedemandgeeks hopes he really hits the nail on this movie.

We can’t wait for the dead to come to our TV screens again.
