‘Army of Thieves’: Official Poster Suggests There Aren’t Zombies in the ‘Army of the Dead’ Spinoff Movie
Zack Snyder’s zombie movie Army of the Dead is getting two different follow-up projects, including a prequel anime series titled “Army of the Dead: Lost Vegas.” The other project is a live-action prequel movie titled Army of Thieves, and we’ve got a poster today.
The prequel movie will be coming to Netflix this Fall, and ahead of the film’s panel at the virtual San Diego Comic-Con on Sunday, July 25, Snyder has debuted the official poster art.
“Dieter is back, with more safes and less zombies,” Snyder teases, suggesting that the Army of the Dead spinoff movie doesn’t actually feature zombies. It would seem the movie takes place prior to the zombie apocalypse, deviating from the horror genre entirely. Interesting…
Matthias Schweighöfer is directing Army of Thieves, a prequel movie that will center on his character that we first met in Zack Snyder’s Army of the Dead. His name is Dieter.
In Army of Thieves…
“Small-town bank teller Dieter gets drawn into the adventure of a lifetime when a mysterious woman recruits him to join a crew of Interpol’s most wanted criminals, attempting to heist a sequence of legendary, impossible-to-crack safes across Europe.”
Announced today, Nathalie Emmanuel, Ruby O. Fee, Stuart Martin, Guz Khan, Jonathan Cohen, and Noémie Nakai star alongside Matthias Schweighöfer in Army of Thieves.
Screenplay by Shay Hatten & Story by Zack Snyder & Shay Hatten.
Producers for the prequel movie include Zack Snyder and Deborah Snyder.
Christopher Landon (Happy Death Day, Freaky) is staying busy here in 2024, directing not only the werewolf movie Big Bad but also an upcoming thriller titled Drop.
The project for Blumhouse and Platinum Dunes is being described as a “fast-paced thriller,” and Deadline reports today that Violett Beane (Truth or Dare) has joined the cast.
Newcomer Jacob Robinson has also signed on to star in the mysterious thriller. Previously announced, Meghann Fahy (“White Lotus”) will be leading the cast.
Landon recently teased on Twitter, “This is my love letter to DePalma.”
Jillian Jacobs and Chris Roach wrote the script.
Michael Bay, Jason Blum, Brad Fuller and Cameron Fuller — “who brought the script in to Platinum Dunes” — are producing the upcoming Drop. Sam Lerner is an executive producer.
THR notes, “The film is a Platinum Dunes and Blumhouse production for Universal.”
