Zack Snyder will direct Army of the Dead for Netflix
Set amid a zombie outbreak in Las Vegas, 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
"There are no handcuffs on me at all with this one,” Snyder tells The Hollywood Reporter in an interview.
“I thought this was a good palate cleanser to really dig in with both hands and make something fun and epic and crazy and bonkers in the best possible way,” he says.
“I love to honor canon and the works of art,” he says of his adaptations, “but this is the opportunity to find a purely joyful way to express myself though a genre. It will be the most kick-ass, self-aware — but not in a wink-to-the-camera way — balls-to-the-wall zombie freakshow that anyone has ever seen. No one’s ever let me completely loose [like this].”
Snyder says he's been energized by the prospect of making this particular story. “I love big action, I love big sequences," he says. "My movie brain starts clicking around and I was like, ‘We need to be shooting this now!’ Constructing these sequences really fired me up.”
One thing Snyder has missed, even while making his mega-tentpoles, is actually operating a camera and “being in the trenches.”
“When the movie gets super big, you get pushed away from the camera," he notes. "And in the last few years I’ve had a reconnection with photography. This movie will be a chance to get the camera in hand."
My heart hopes for Dawn of the Dead 2, my brain reminds me he's made Sucker Punch more recently than that and that was supposedly him "with handcuffs on"
Every time Zack Snyder says words my eyes roll down my esophagus and out my asshole and I have to spend like 15 minutes washing them before I put them back in.
I love Dawn of the Dead, Man of Steel, and 300. I like a lot of Watchmen, and I appreciate that he made as good of an adaptation as he did (even if the ending was kind of botched; I really wanted that crazy comic ending). Parts of Dawn of Justice were really good, parts were really bad. I still haven’t seen Sucker Punch, but man did the trailer look pretty. He has enough credit with methat I’ll take a look.
To be honest I am rapidly growing cynical about the idea of the auteur director who just needs everybody to get out of the way and let him do an art and it will be amazing. I’m starting to think all of those other people were there for a reason.

I’ll take a generous read of what he’s saying and assume he means “I’m not beholden to any material, or fan expectations, or studio ROI concerns, and get to just make what I want—and I’m giddy.”
That said, even Spielberg is better with limits. Without them, you get things like A.I. or Ready Player One.

Film is one of the most collaborative arts there is, and there is very little art that isn't made better with good editing.

I just learned Harmony Korine has a new movie coming out in March.
A new Let It Be documentary is in production from Peter Jackson in collaboration with the surviving Beatles (McCartney and Ringo) and Yoko Ono and Olivia Harrison. Based around 55 hours of never-released footage (and 140 hours of audio) from the album's studio sessions

Watching this really makes me want to see Ralph Fiennes's outtakes from the inanimate object scene from in Bruge

I respect that he got Watchmen made and I'm glad I saw it, but I can't say I liked it.
unless it looks good
but can he back it up?
But slo-mo is cheap these days, and misogyny is free, so who knows.
Whatever people think is valuable. Probably gold or something.
Or maybe, being Snyder, something involving regressive patriarchal attitudes.

That Army of the Dead movie is going to suck Hurricane Heist did not even last before it washed out of the cinema and into the dump bin of dvds
I mean
I assume you didn't think all his other movies would be bad
not true!!!
sucker punch and that owl movie looked like shit!!!
He did. He wrote, directed, and starred in Strangeland. It was...not great.
Well that just sounds like gold again
I love being online

some people have no restraint or inner critic
sometimes these people are named Tina Fey

that's just carnage
It's the only ethical option!
