Snyder raises 'Army of the Dead'
Following the international success of '300', Zack Snyder plans a zombie epic.
Mar 26 2007
With Zack Snyder's '300' dominating at cinemas worldwide, Warner Bros must be over-the-moon to have signed him up for forthcoming zombie horror 'Army of the Dead'.
Based on an original story by Snyder, the film will be set in a quarantined Las Vegas of the near future and focus on a father trying to save his daughter from imminent death by zombie.
Snyder told Variety 'I feel like there hasn't been a zombie movie on the scale that we want to do it', and while he hasn't ruled out shooting the film entirely in front of a green screen (a la '300') he has promised that it will have a sweeping, epic feel.
Before then, Snyder will direct the long-gestating big screen adaptation of graphic novel 'Watchmen', which is expected to reach screens next summer.
