'There was a lot of stuff in the movie in regard to what was happening along the border,' Snyder said of the movie's exploration of real-life events. While the movie sounds simple-yet-effective, Snyder has since hinted at further substance lurking beneath the surface. They're not necessarily fully realized and talk or anything. 'We treat them kind of like wolves, sort of like a dog. 'From the first conceptualizing of the movie, they were going to be these evolved zombies,' Snyder revealed. Of course, the father-and-daughter drama should not distract too much from the zombie action, with Snyder delving a little more into the well-explored horror genre and looking to change the depiction of the living dead just a little. Snyder has also since hinted at a twist that could flip the zombie genre on its head saying, 'they are not what you think they are'.Ī lot of the character beats will reportedly come from the complicated central relationship between Dave Bautista's Scott Ward and Ella Purnell as his daughter, Kate.

The outline of Army of the Dead is the exact kind of no-nonsense, simple premise that this kind of movie needs, and centers on a group of mercenaries plot a heist on a Las Vegas casino during a zombie outbreak.
