Zack Snyder Reveals New Projects In His Movie Pipeline After ‘Army of the Dead’

DC Extended Universe visionary Zack Snyder might be off the spotlight for now, but he’ll soon be back with three new movies under his belt. The Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice director revealed that he will be working on two more films after his upcoming Netflix film, Army of the Dead.

In an interview with Comic Book Debate, the director spoke at length about his thoughts on how women are portrayed in the film industry. But aside from sharing his strong thoughts on how the narrative for women can change, Snyder dropped a few details about his next projects after Army of the Dead—his second zombie film since Dawn of the Dead. The first one being a TV adaptation of Ayn Rand’s The Fountainhead and a war film, titled The Last Photograph.

An Unlikely Zack Snyder Film Combo

First adapted as a movie in 1949, The Fountainhead tells the story of Howard Roark, an individualistic young architect who defies the norm by refusing to stick to traditional design methods. He also values anticonformity, which is a philosophy that’s deemed taboo by his society. The film is on hold, but Snyder is still attached to the project. He describes the movie as something “still important” to him, albeit being a touchy subject in today’s political climate.

“People will think it’s hardcore right-wing propaganda, but I don’t view it like that. I just think the story is super fun and crazy and melodramatic about architecture and sex,” Snyder says. “It’s about time we get a different president so we don’t take shit so seriously!”

On the other hand, The Last Photograph follows the story of a war correspondent who survives an attack in Afghanistan who ultimately finds himself partnering with a soldier for the United States Army Special Forces. The film has been in development hell since 2011 and was supposed to go into production after Snyder’s Man of Steel. Despite its languishing on paper, Snyder is optimistic that the project will push through soon.

Right now, however, Zack Snyder is devoted to finishing Army of the Dead, which stars Dave Bautista in an unspecified role. The film’s logline reads, “Following a zombie outbreak in Las Vegas, a group of mercenaries take the ultimate gamble, venturing into the quarantine zone to pull off the greatest heist ever attempted.”

Zack Snyder‘s Army of the Dead is slated to hit Netflix sometime this year.
