Though he’s gone on to direct superhero movies like Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice and Justice League, horror fans will remember Snyder making his directorial debut with 2004’s remake of George A. Romero’s Dawn of the Dead. Following that movie, Snyder had been hoping to do a follow-up zombie film, but it wasn’t until Netflix recently tapped him to finally make Army of the Dead when he finally got that opportunity.
Army of the Dead is set in Las Vegas in the midst of a zombie outbreak, following a group of mercenaries who “take the ultimate gamble” by venturing into a quarantine zone to “pull off the greatest heist ever attempted.” In other words, it’s like the love child of Dawn of the Dead and Ocean’s Eleven with Snyder at the helm. Sounds fun, right?
