Just dropping by to say that Snyder is back on the director's chair.

quote:

Zack Snyder, who directed 2017's Justice League only to step away from movies to deal with a family tragedy, has signed on to helm Army of the Dead, a zombie horror thriller, for Netflix. Snyder will direct and produce with his partner and wife, Deborah Snyder, via their newly rebranded production company, Stone Quarry. The shingle's Wesley Coller is also producing.

Snyder also came up with the story for Army, which has a script by Joby Harold. The adventure is set amid a zombie outbreak in Las Vegas, during which 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.

Netflix, which is taking over the project from Warner Bros., where it was first set up in 2007, is going full throttle with Army. The movie is set to commence shooting this summer with a sizable budget that could reach the $90 million range, say sources.

To say Snyder is excited would be an understatement.

"There are no handcuffs on me at all with this one,� Snyder tells The Hollywood Reporter in an interview.

Snyder was the chief architect of Warner Bros.� stable of DC Comics films for many years, and he was in postproduction on Justice League when his and Deborah�s daughter committed suicide. The Snyders decided to step away from the movie, letting Joss Whedon film reshoots and finish postproduction. Since then, the duo has been out of the spotlight. There has been a focus on family, working with suicide awareness causes, and a regrouping of his company. But film projects can be cathartic, and Snyder says he has a desire to get back behind the camera.

�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.

That makes you worse than a regular telekinetic vampire. You got screwed -- metaphorically.

And Reeves talks more about The Batman

quote:

So, Batman. Tell us about your take.

It's very much a point of view-driven, noir Batman tale. It's told very squarely on his shoulders, and I hope it's going to be a story that will be thrilling but also emotional. It's more Batman in his detective mode than we've seen in the films. The comics have a history of that. He's supposed to be the world's greatest detective, and that's not necessarily been a part of what the movies have been. I'd love this to be one where when we go on that journey of tracking down the criminals and trying to solve a crime, it's going to allow his character to have an arc so that he can go through a transformation.

Do you have a title yet?

(Laughs.) Right now it�s called The Batman. What it will be called ultimately, I don�t know.

Have you begun the casting process?

There will be a Rogues Gallery. The casting process will begin shortly. We're starting to put together our battle plan. I'm doing another pass on the script and we'll begin some long-lead stuff to start developing conceptual things.

What's your goal as far as a release date?

We haven't been dated. I wouldn't commit to this, but we're thinking the movie would probably be for 2021, late spring or summer. Warner Bros. has been incredibly supportive and given me a lot of time and shared the same passion that I do for this story.

How involved are you with the other films in the DC universe, be it Harley Quinn or Batgirl?

Right now, I'm involved in The Batman. What it will be called ultimately, I don't know. Aquaman is going to be very different from the Todd Phillips Joker movie, and that's going to be different from Shazam and Harley Quinn. Warners believes they don't have to try to develop a giant slate that has to have all the plans for how it's going to connect. What they need to try and do is make good movies with these characters.

How big is your typical Netflix movie budget? It�s an obvious constraint on their original serials, so I�m a little worried about what a Snyder Netflix movie would look like. But Snow Steam Iron was great, so...

Megaman's Jockstrap: Jul 16, 2000; What a horrible thread to have a post.

I think it's kinda funny that en route to his Ayn Rand Fountainhead movie Snyder is gonna take a detour into a zombo heist movie "with the handcuffs off" for Netflix. It would be like if Brian DePalma made a romantic comedy right before one of his femme fatale flicks.

Seems almost like a career reboot. First he'll do another zombie movie, then he'll do his next 300.

The article estimates it at $90 million�without great sourcing so take it with a grain of salt�which if true ain't nothing.

Yes.

https://www.bloomberg.com/features/2016-zack-snyder-profile/

quote:

One of these days, he�d like to make one about George Washington in the style of 300. He has a picture in his office of the Revolutionary War hero crossing the icy Delaware on his way to decimate the British in the Battle of Trenton. �We were talking about it,� Snyder says. �The first thing we asked was, well, how are we going to make it look? I pointed at this painting. It looks like 300. It�s not that hard.�

It depends. They're giving Snyder $90 million for Army of the Dead.

They've spent more than $300 million on Scorsese's The Irishman.

Butt first, let's

They're "rebooting" Suicide Squad? Like "everyone on that team is dead or escaped and we have a new set of expendable characters" reboot or "please forget that that other movie exists as we recast characters and retcon stuff" reboot?
