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, which will premiere first.
Army of Thieves takes a bite out of Netflix on October 29, and a fresh trailer out of Netflix’s “Tudum” event today delivers “plenty of action (and romance and comedy)”… but no zombies.
Matthias Schweighöfer directed 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.”
Nathalie Emmanuel, Ruby O. Fee, Stuart Martin, Guz Khan, Jonathan Cohen, and Noémie Nakai star alongside Matthias Schweighöfer in Army of Thieves.
A proper sequel to Army of the Dead is also reportedly in early development.
