Zack Snyder’s ARMY OF THE DEAD Gets A Fresh New Trailer

In Select Theaters May and on Netflix May 21 is the latest zombie movie ARMY OF THE DEAD.

From filmmaker Zack Snyder (300, Watchmen, Zack Snyder’s Justice League), ARMY OF THE DEAD takes place following a zombie outbreak that has left Las Vegas in ruins and walled off from the rest of the world.

When Scott Ward (Dave Bautista), a former zombie war hero who’s now flipping burgers on the outskirts of the town he now calls home, is approached by casino boss Bly Tanaka (Hiroyuki Sanada), it’s with the ultimate proposition: break into the zombie-infested quarantine zone to retrieve $200 million sitting in a vault beneath the strip before the city is nuked by the government in 32 hours. With little left to lose, Ward takes on the challenge, assembling a ragtag team of experts for the heist. With a ticking clock, a notoriously impenetrable vault, and a smarter, faster horde of Alpha zombies closing in, only one thing’s for certain in the greatest heist ever attempted: survivors take all.

CAPTAIN AMERICA Candidates Down to 6

Sometimes when playing fantasy cast, you just have to sit back and think to yourself, “Who would I like to see get kicked in the face really, REALLY, hard?”  That would be why I ran the header pic that I did, because, more than likely, whoever plays CAPTAIN AMERICA in the Joe Johnston-directed film will be kicked in the face at least once in the course of the film.  Today, thanks to The Hollywood Reporter, we have a list of six candidates who are on Marvel’s shortlist for the lead role.

These candidates are John Krasinski (THE OFFICE), Scott Porter (FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS and SPEED RACER), Mike Vogel (CLOVERFIELD and THE TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE) Michael Cassidy (SMALLVILLE), and Patrick Flueger (THE 4400 and BROTHERS).  Chace Crawford (GOSSIP GIRL and the upcoming TWELVE) is expected to test screen in the next week and Garret Hedlund (TRON LEGACY), who has already tested, had to remove his name from the list due to scheduling conflicts. Scheduling issues also kept SUPERNATURAL’s Jensen Ackles off the final list. One of these things just doesn’t belong here.

That would be Krasinski who no one would have pegged as being a likely candidate for the lead role in a comic book movie until today.  Unfortunately for those who think this casting would be a bad choice (myself included), Krasinski brings the most name recognition to the table.  This could be something Marvel might jump at, but something tells me they are going more for the slightly to mostly unknown, especially if what Deadline Hollywood is reporting that Marvel is looking to offer the lead actor roughly $300K for the first film.

Of course, as was the case with THOR, Marvel may not run with any of these actors but rather find another, stronger candidate while the 30-day holds are set on everyone on this list.  We should be finding out within the next couple of weeks who will be donning the mask, wielding the starred shield, and, more than likely, getting kicked in the face.
