After "Justice League", the first feature film project was officially announced, and the Netflix zombie thriller "Master of Death".
Since Zach Schneider left the directorship of "Justice League" halfway through due to "family troubles" (it is also said that he was fired by Warner DC), there has been no new feature film launch.
During this time, he shot a 4-minute short film "Snow Steam Iron" on his iPhone, which was released on Vero. In addition, in response to a question from a netizen, he once said that he would remake the 1943 classic book "The Fountainhead" by the American philosopher and novelist Ain Rand into a movie. However, he only said it, and there is no official announcement so far.
Today, Za's first feature-length film directing project since Justice League is finally officially announced — he will direct the zombie thriller "Army of the Dead" for Netflix.
2004 Dawn of the Living Dead
It is worth mentioning that Za Director's directorial debut "Dawn of the Living Dead" 15 years ago is a zombie film. After directing several superhero blockbusters for Warner DC, Za is back where he started.
The Story of The Master of Death was conceived by Za and written by Zeube Harold (King Arthur: Battle of the Beasts). The story takes place in Las Vegas, where the zombie crisis erupts, during which a man assembles a group of mercenaries for the final gamble and ventures into quarantine to cancel the biggest robbery ever.
The project was founded as early as 2007 and was originally directed by Massis van Harkinnigan (Prequel to The Strange Shape). After years of delay, Netflix took over the project from Warner. Netflix reportedly didn't hesitate to spend money on the project, and the film is about to start this summer, with a budget of up to $90 million.
Now Za Dao is already too happy to be described in words. In an interview with foreign media, he said: "This film has no restraint on me. ”
