Zack Snyder, who helmed the Dawn of the Dead remake, is headed back into the post-apocalypse for Netflix‘s big-budget zombie movie Army of the Dead, and THR lets us know this week that production has officially begun. Additionally, they note, the cast has filled out with a handful of new names, including Garret Dillahunt (“Fear the Walking Dead”).

Omari Hardwick, Chris D’Elia, Hiroyuki Sanada, Raúl Castillo, Nora Arnezeder, Matthias Schweighöfer, Samantha Win and Rich Cetrone have also joined the cast, led by Dave Bautista and featuring Ella Purnell, Ana De La Reguera, Theo Rossi and Huma Qureshi.

“The adventure is set amid a zombie outbreak in Las Vegas, during which a man assembles a group of mercenaries to take the ultimate gamble, venturing into the quarantined zone to pull off the greatest heist ever attempted.”

“There are no handcuffs on me at all with this one,” Snyder recently told THR. “It will be the most kick-ass, self-aware — but not in a wink-to-the-camera way — balls-to-the-wall zombie freakshow that anyone has ever seen.”

Snyder will direct and also produce through his Stone Quarry, alongside his wife Deborah.

Snyder and Shay Hatten wrote the script.
