Zack Snyder says Warner Bros. "couldn’t figure out" how to make Army of the Dead
The Arm♏y of the Dead director praises Netflix in new i🦄nterview

澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Army of the Dead may be coming to Netflix, bu🌄t its rocky development history once saw it hanging in limbo for several years over at Warner Bros. before being snapped up by the streamer.
Now, in a recent roundtable with GamesRadar+, Snyder has aired some frustrations over the project&rsquo♕;s time at Warners.
"Warner Bros – they couldn’t figure out how to make this movie," Snyder says. "They had it for yeaꦆrs and they couldn&r✅squo;t figure out how to make it."
Netflix’s approach, however, was far more different – and straightforward from the one that saw Warner Bros. hold on to Army of the Dead for 12 years. "I had one meeting with Netflix and they were li൲ke ‘Yep, of course, make it immediately’," the director recalls.
"I don’t understand… it’s not a hard movie to say it’s got possible commercial value. It’s a team of zombie hunters going into a zombie-invested Vegas to steal some money… I could say that to anybody and they’d say ‘ওOK – sounds like a movie to me!’"
For Snyder, the emergence of Netflix is only a net positive f𒈔or the industry. He points to The Queen’s Gambit – which he pointedly refers to as a movie, not a miniseries – as a case study in how the streamer is providing the spacﷺe to tell riskier stories. "I would say, not long ago, where would that movie go [and] how would that movie survive?" Snyder says.
Thankfully, for Snyder a🥀nd a legion of other creators, Netflix is offering﷽ another way out, and seemingly giving real freedom. Army of the Dead is set to be followed by a prequel, Army of Thieves, and an animated series. It’s worlds away from a title that may never have seen the light of day over at a more traditional studio.
