Snyder's Army of the Dead (Netflix 2021)

First photo as filming begins: That zombie appears to be quite degraded, so perhaps it is further into the apocalypse?

Are they runners? Would be nice if they weren’t for once.

Are they runners? Would be nice if they weren’t for once. Unknown at this time, but being that it’s Snyder and the project originated as a “sequel” to Dawn04, it’s probably safe to assume that they’ll be runners. If they’re starting up filming, we should see how the zombies perform fairly soon.

If they are as decomposed as the blurry image suggests, then it's gonna make even less sense for them to run than in the Dawn remake. Since at least in that film most of them were recently dead.

I'd love for these to be shamblers... But it's Snyder

[bassman]

I would be up for the more decomposed being slower and the newly dead being more aggressive. That could potentially work well, if they went that route.

[Daoyinyang]

I'll be frank, I love the remake of "Dawn of the Dead". Read years ago about a supposed sequel that never happened. Then Snyder started working on Triple A productions like "Man of Steel" and "BvS". I am excited for this new Snyder zombie film but I am also afraid that it might be terrible despite even having a 90 million dollar budget.

[bassman]

That’s always a possibility of course. And Snyder already has a rocky reputation with the fans that disliked Dawn04, so he’ll either win them over or just add to their disappointment. Here’s to hoping for the best!

[Moon Knight]

I fell into the camp that enjoyed the mess that was Snyder’s Dawn.

Looks interesting, but we'll probably all be disappointed.

[EvilNed]

Snyder is a visual director with very little capacity (or interest) to depict emotional depth or anything noteworthy to tell. It'll likely be a pretty decent action flick with some stellar imagery. But the film will probably be more annoying than exciting.

[Daoyinyang]

I'll be honest. I am looking forward to both WWZ 2 and Army of the dead. I am a huge zombie fanatic. I am annoyed by most terrible zombie films but there have been great gems. Movies like Battery, Cargo, Hidden, Rec (excluding 3) series, and train to Busan have been great recent zombie films in my opinion. Let's just ignore the DOTD remake and sequel that of which is subtitled Bloodline. Diary of the dead, Rezort, Re-kill, and other dumb zombie films not really worth mentioning.

https://www.republicworld.com/entert...ders-film.html It is speculated that the project could premiere on the streaming platform [Netflix] during Halloween which falls in October. So still a long wait! Even before the movie's premiere, Netflix has revealed its plan to expand the zombie universe. The streamer [Netflix] has greenlighted two Army of the Dead projects. One is a prequel movie and the other one is an anime series. The untitled prequel film will be helmed by Matthias Schweighöfer who will also star in it as Ludwig Dieter, his character from Army of the Dead. The anime series, Army of the Dead: Lost Vegas will show the origin story of Dave Bautista’s Army of the Dead character. The plot will revolve around him and his crew during the initial fall of Vegas as they face the source of the zombie outbreak. A couple of episodes of the series will be directed by Zack Snyder, along with showrunner Jay Olivia who will also helm a few episodes. https://ew.com/movies/zack-snyder-ar...-dead-netflix/ There's also a dash of political overtones – metaphors about immigration, consumerism, and a jingoistic president. Of course, there has to be...

Well, wouldn't be a zombie flick if it wasn't. But releasing a film with a jingoistic president in October 2021 is gonna make it feel dated real fast.
