Revision | Army of the Dead is BLOODY, full of slow motion, and everything you’d expect from Zack Snyder

At a select press conference, of which CinePOP was one of the guests, the filmmaker unveiled details about the horrific creatures, underscoring his desire to take the genre further, turning zombies into monsters far more evolved than usually:

“I think zombies have lingered in theaters and pop culture because they’re monsters derived from ourselves, so that’s still a great way to think about them. But in this movie, not only did I want to honor the classic zombies, I also wanted to explore what else they had to offer. And one of the things I thought about the most while creating this script was the idea that much more than an evolution, they would even represent our replacement. “

Snyder went even further, questioning the unique characteristics of the zombies in “Army of the Dead”. For the filmmaker, the idea was to make them independent and self-sufficient, so that the “threat” factor could be explored from a somewhat deeper point of view:

“The idea is that they’re not just those next-level zombies that can think, roam, and attack animals. But let them be less wicked, don’t destroy the planet and don’t kill themselves. They are not very aggressive. We got it wrong with them and they return the favor, but this version of humanity or whatever represents the fact that they can survive without us, that they’ll be fine without us. And I thought that would be a fun and scary way to think of them as our replacements.

Throughout the press conference, star Dave Bautista also commented on the action thriller, revealing that he almost rejected the proposal:

“I was able to do a lot of movies with a lot of action scenes, but I never did one where I could show my versatility as an actor. When the project came to me I was not very interested, as it was described to me as a zombie movie with aggression and I was not looking for a job of this size, I wanted to prove myself as a actor. But the proposal came back to me when Zack said he wanted me to play Scott. So I read the script and it was completely different from what I thought it would be. “

The actor, who is also part of the ‘Guardians of the Galaxy’ franchise, has further reflected on his character’s journey, punctuating the symbolism behind his motivations. According to him, Scott is living a trajectory of family redemption and reconnection with his daughter:

“The film would really give me the opportunity to show different sides of my acting, beyond this guy who is a badass in action scenes. It’s the story of a father who wants to redeem himself with his daughter and that’s what convinced me. It was an opportunity for me to show a bigger side of my performance. He’s not just an action guy. He’s capable to be, but it’s also someone who wants to redeem themselves. It’s a story of redemption. “
