The first full trailer for Legion of the Living Dead has been released.
I don't know why China is so obsessed with the translation of "living dead", but I feel that as far as this movie is concerned, it seems to be more handsome to call "Army of the Dead".
However, it is understandable to forcibly echo "Dawn of the Living Dead", after all, the film translated into "Dawn of the Dead" is tasteless.
Well, let's get back to the point, let's give you an analysis of the trailer.
At the end of this issue, there are two heavy singers,
There's always one to surprise you
Here are all the juicy details from the action-packEd Legion of the Dead trailer.
With the support of the successful release of Jack Snyder's version of "Justice League", Zadui is still in a "high position" and has come to Netflix with great prestige.
The hype for Schneider-related films has barely diminished, and the director's next project is ready for release.
"Army of the Dead" is scheduled to premiere on Netflix on May 21.
In addition to this movie, Za Dao was also invited by Netflix to produce a prequel and anime derivatives, and showed that Netflix has the determination to make the living dead into a long-term big IP.
Starring Dave Bautista, Omari Hardwick and Ella Purnell, it will be a genre film in a completely different style from Za's famous dawn of the Dead.
Fans who love the aesthetics of violence are looking forward to it.
The first official trailer is now available and provides a full image of Sin City.
Before the task
As I said above, this film will have a prequel, so the origin of the zombie outbreak will be explained by the prequel.
The film is set after the zombies have already erupted.
Luckily, at the beginning of the trailer, the business of this humble "Lucky Boy" small restaurant was not affected.
This means that it is an abnormal and normal world, similar to the world we live in now.
It is not the end-time setting as some "understanding kings" call it.
Scott of Dave Bautista
The protagonist's name is Scott Ward and he doesn't necessarily live in the environment you'd expect.
Again, this is not the end times! Not even wasteland!
Compared to semi-automatics and cyborgs, Big Dave's weapons are only spoons and shovels.
But before he worked in a restaurant, he was a highly skilled soldier who carried out the most dangerous missions.
He should be in a state he is not long after he was discharged from the army.
Hiroyuki Sanada's "Hunter"
Scott is visited by Hunter Bly.
Hunter is played by the lost Hiroyuki Sanada, who, yes, is just called "Hunter.".
The actor has participated in the famous Mortal Kombat and The Last Samurai.
After Hunter's arrival, an army of the undead began to form.
Apparently, this is an influential and wealthy man who is willing to offer Ward one last job worth $50 million.
The lens language of the za guide
After establishing the basic plot, the trailer took some time to show the language of the shots directed by Za.
One of the helicopters flew over the sunset, a remote country road, a dilapidated shack.
Za dao is both the director of Army of the Dead and the cinematographer of the film, so it's no surprise to see his signature tones and filters here.
This is reminiscent of the alley-side death and nightmare world of BVS in the DCEU, relying solely on the lens to express the background.
In terms of this setting, Scott should really lack this money, and there is no such thing as the kind that cannot survive. It should not be greedy for money, otherwise you think you will watch "Busan Trip 2"?
Scott's tragic background
The most obvious hint that fans can get from Scott's backstory is that it looks like he's been through a lot of pain.
When I saw this military medal, tears flowed down my face.
Whatever the significance of the shot, it clearly gives Scott painful memories and may also hint at the reasons he disbanded the team before.
blueprint
After that, the trailer finally got to the heart of the plot.
Scott receives a blueprint that unlocks a large safe.
The language on the document appears to have been written in German, which ensures that it cannot be opened by people who do not understand.
The safe was almost certainly the target Hunter had sent Scott to Las Vegas.
Cruz of Anna della Regula
Scott began recruiting old friends.
A bit of Steve's flavor in WW.
Is there nothing wrong with such an association?
This guide is the helmsman of the previous DCEU, which should not be forgotten.
When he enters the warehouse, he meets Cruz, played by Ana De La Regulera.
They shared a bottle of wine, and Scott made it clear that he wished she could join him.
Van der Rohe of Omari Hadwick
The next starring actor is Vanderohe, played by Omari Hardwick.
Hardwick's character is relatively low-key in this trailer, but he is the protagonist of the February version of the trailer.
Mikey by Raul Castillo
The team assembled quickly.
Castillo is also currently one of HBO's best famous actors.
Marienne of Tig Notaro
Tig Notaro plays Marianne.
The comedian's best role to date is Jett Reno in Star Trek: Discovery.
After Chris D'Elia was accused of sexual misconduct, Notaro was announced to join the film later that day.
Scenes from the previous actor who were designed were remade and digitally inserted into the finished film.
Similar to the treatment of Bai Qi in "Great Qin Empire 3".
Kate of Ella Penell
Next up is Kate, played by Elena Purnell.
The British actress is best known for her rivalry with Angelina Jolie' Angelina Jolie.
task
After the team is formed, Hunter gives them a brief overview of the planned robbery.
He proudly unveiled a scale model of the target hotel, and it was clear that Scott's team was ready for this dangerous robbery.
Hunter's voiceover confirms: "There are $200 million in the underground vaults. ”
Curiously, Hunter also designated a "32-hour window." The reasons for the time limit are unclear.
Maybe the mission was allowed by the military.
Armed, as well as justice leagues
When the squad began to arm, Van der Rohe pulled out a very striking circular saw.
But when you're paying attention to this circular saw, it's easy to miss the Justice League Easter egg on O'Marie Hardwick's chest.
Among his various tattoos, there is an omega symbol - a tribute to DC's arch-villain Darkseid.
Ludwig was a master of unlocking
Ludwig leaned over the safe's cold metal door, turning the button and listening intently.
This scenario shows that Ludwig is the unlocking expert on the team.
Ludwig's role may have something to do with Scott's previous glimpse of the German blueprint.

</h1>
The task succeeded
That's right, this trailer basically tells you the whole course of the mission.
Since there's no suspense in this mission, grabbing money won't be the team's real challenge in Legion of the Dead — getting out alive is.
Lily of Nora Anezide
The next major character we meet is Lily, played by Nora Arnezeder.
Although Lily does not appear in Hunter's briefing, she appears to be in command, suggesting that Scott's team will join another team before the chaos begins.
Lily seems to know more about the living dead than the other characters in the film, so she is likely to be one of the soldiers in charge of controlling Las Vegas and its new residents.
Does the public know about zombies?
Speaking of zombies, we see a lot.
The whole neighborhood was crammed with this creature.
Curiously, one of them stood perfectly on the crown of the Statue of Liberty and watched the squad enter the blockade of the epidemic area.
This is a very strange move for an unconscious zombie.
Van der Rohe was shocked when he saw the first zombie, meaning the real reason for the Las Vegas closure has not been made public.
Cabaret zombies
If there is one scene in the whole trailer that impresses you the most, it must be the resurrected Las Vegas song and dance girl.
She was still dressed in a dance costume, and there was something faintly like a crown above her head.
The zombie queen let out a piercing scream as if to signal to other rotting people nearby.
Las Vegas is littered with wreckage
The vista clearly shows that Las Vegas has been devastated by zombie outbreaks, and that the battle between life and death has further destroyed the city.
Wreckage, vehicles and ruins dot Las Vegas like a wasteland.
"Not as you think"
Lily said that these zombies are not as you think.
They are quick-moving, not simple-minded, tough and intelligent, and consist of Alphas (leaders) and Shamblers (followers).
On top of that, Legion of the Dead will be a very different zombie story.
Za Dao may have created the most terrifying zombie in the history of cinema.
Zombie love
The camera cuts to a makeshift zombie headquarters that is located in the hotel's swimming pool.
It shows how advanced this rotten society has become.
The creatures bowed their heads to the cabaret zombies that had previously summoned them, two of them embracing each other as if they were kissing.
This moment shows that the creature is not only tactically shrewd, but also develops emotions of love and lust.
So the squad is about to face a moral dilemma — can it slaughter this new species that has camped in Las Vegas?
Give this puzzle to Batman, will he go on a killing spree?
Dodge points are full
In the trailer's most impressive action scene, Bautista is brandishing a knife and fighting zombies one-on-one, but his opponent manages to dodge every blow.
Because of The Walking Dead and many similar works, the audience believed that a knife was enough to knock down a single zombie.
But if the living dead are so agile, how can Scott's team win?
... There is also horse riding
The Queen's Zombie stood out from a large group of supporters, and the zombie who had previously stood on the head of the Statue of Liberty now stood alongside the Queen.
Use tanks
This is really not surprising.
But the scary thing is that behind the tank, the zombies are going up and down the escalator.
Super undead
The King Zombie reappears.
The villain in the vest swings his right fist and sends the protagonist flying through the room with one blow.
Air raid flashback
This is probably the most dazzling shot in the entire trailer.
It shows a rich visual diversity in less than 3 minutes.
Military aircraft carried out airstrikes on the Las Vegas Strip, unleashing a dizzying barrage of bombing between palm trees.
Zombie Tiger
This is the second undead animal in the trailer after the horse, and it shows how human zombies command animals into battle.
Soundtrack
Finally, the soundtrack in the trailer is Kenny Rogers' country song "The Gambler."
Both the song and its author are inextricably linked to Las Vegas, which couldn't be more perfect given the film's situation.
At present, the prequel to the film has begun to be put into pre-production.
