With ARMY OF THE DEAD, Zack Snyder bets it all on zombies (and loses)
by Ryan Silberstein, Managing Editor, The Red Herring
The most surprising thing about Army of the Dead is how little of Snyder’s signature style comes through.

by Audrey Callerstrom, Staff Writer
There are moments in Zack Snyder’s Justice League that you just kind of have to forgive to fully enjoy it.
Justice League

I think Aquaman (Jason Momoa) sums up this entire Zack Snyder Batverse Superverse movie thing when he says something along the lines of “Gotham is a shithole.”

Look. I've lived in North Carolina for a little over two years now. And you know what everybody talks about? Nonstop? How they shoot movies here. And Atlanta. Place is fucking crawling with film crews. It's a huge deal. So I gotta say I can't care that Fox and Turner are threatening to pull their productions from the state in reaction to the bizarre anti-LGBT legislation that was recently passed by the governor, Giant Fuckface McCrory. They're "threatening," huh? How nice of you, Hollywood. Thanks. When do you plan to actually put this threat into motion? Certainly you're not halting production on anything. In fact it was made clear that Turner is continuing to shoot whatever their dumb crap is (a tv show called Good Behavior) and won't even start looking for a new home for the show until the full season is wrapped. Guys. These studios are full of shit. They shoot here because it is CHEAP AS FUCK. They will make headlines. They will appear to be on the side of the LGBT community and supporters. But they are a business. One of the biggest businesses in the world. And they are not going to give up the outrageous tax breaks and diverse locations just to be nice to their employees. Hollywood's taking a stand? Threatening a boycott? I doubt it. Sincerely. Prove me wrong, Clowns. PLEASE.

Zack Snyder has to be absolutely shitting his pants right now. Pacing around his no-doubt gigantic Fortress of Solitude somewhere in the Hollywood Hills, nervously moving his hand over his pants pocket, checking his phone, no vibration, no texts, no calls…“What must Warner Bros. be thinking right now?” Parading Amy Adams out in front of the press to quell the ominous, almost apocalyptic critical response to his latest film. Damage control being rolled out before most people have even had a chance to see this thing the studio is generously, psychotically calling a “movie.” Will Visionary Director Zack Snyder still have a job after Monday morning? He’s going over all the numbers in his head. Rotten Tomatoes currently holding strong at 32%, having dropped steadily by 10% every day for the last three days, again, before the public has seen a single frame of this DC Universe Doomsday Machine. Box Office Mojo projecting a weekend pull of $180million against the film’s purported budget of $410m. Will any of this, could any of this point to a new direction for the Man of Steel and the Caped Crusader? Could they really, after all this, just reboot the whole thing again, Sony Spider-Man-style? Right now, anything seems possible. With Wonder Woman already set to debut in a standalone property just over a year from now, Suicide Squad pumping out one fucking batshit trailer after another, and Affleck threatening his own Bat-film shortly after…where will Snyder fit into all this after opening weekend?
