For years, director Zack Snyder has expressed a desire to return to the Zombie genre (after remaking Dawn of the Dead) but he wanted a full powered Military gung-ho action take of a zombie infested world set in Vegas. The only problem with getting it off the ground was time and other projects so he wanted to find a director to lead it, something which has finally happened for Snyder, reports Variety. WB has grabbed commercial and visual artist Matthijs van Heijningen to make his feature directing debut on Army of the Dead, an action thriller that takes place in zombie-infested Las Vegas.
WB studio will co-finance the film with Village Roadshow Pictures. Zack Snyder and Deborah Snyder produce under their WB-based Cruel & Unusual Films. Joby Harold (Awake) penned the screenplay.
Plot Concept: As said above, this will be more of an action-thriller set in the zombie genre but the sub plot will center on a father who tries to save his daughter from certain death in a zombie-ridden Sin City.
