Army of the Dead 2 could fall into the sci-fi action genre

Zack Snyder’s Military of the Useless wasn’t only a straight zombie movie. Taking part in with totally different genres has at all times been a part of Snyder’s plan for the franchise, and that can proceed with the upcoming Military of the Useless 2.

Whereas talking with Variety, Zack Snyder defined that he needs to discover different genres and teased that co-writer Shay Hatten and himself have been fascinated about turning Army of the Dead 2 right into a sci-fi motion film.

Shay and I’ve been speaking concerning the straight sequel to “Military of the Useless” being probably a sci-fi actioner with horror parts. In order that’s a enjoyable style, most likely with a heist at its heart.

“I like the style side,” Snyder continued, talking of Military of the Useless 2. “It’s uncommon, and perhaps unprecedented, that there’s a cinematic universe the place the cinematic a part of it’s entrance and heart. The deconstruction of various genres is definitely a part of the best way. It’s very self-aware. I feel that we as an viewers and as filmmakers are prepared and educated. We’re standing by to have enjoyable with the genres we love and deconstruct them, nearly from a self-aware cinematic angle, which makes this universe of flicks actually fascinating. It’s films for individuals who love films, with out letting anybody off the hook so far as the drama and suspense. And I promise there will likely be zombies.”

The Military of the Useless franchise is shortly rising, first with the not too long ago launched Military of Thieves and adopted by the Military of the Useless animated sequence. “We’re doing the animated sequence, which is able to come out subsequent 12 months,” Snyder mentioned. “The animated sequence very a lot delves deeply into the ‘why’ of the zombie apocalypse and the place the zombies come from precisely. I feel the time loops, portals, doorways to different realms, issues of that nature, are very a lot in play. So all of these clues that Dieter offers us are very a lot a part of how we proceed to spiral out the ‘Military of the Useless’ universe.” You’ll be able to take a look at a assessment of Military of Thieves from our personal Chris Bumbray right here.
