Dave Bautista s dream role would be Ernest Hemingway.
That s right - the author of literary classics like The Old Man and the Sea. His ideas are intriguing to me, Bautista told Polygon.
Dave Bautista has been adamant during the press tour for his Netflix movie Army of the Dead that he s looking to stretch his abilities as an actor going forward - even saying that 2023 s Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 will be his final time playing the Marvel character Drax.

Zack Snyder’s “Army of the Dead” is the first Netflix movie to get a wide theatrical release, starting this Friday, May 14, a week ahead of its debut on the streaming service. But it’s hard to imagine a bigger, more action-packed and sumptuous (if gory) spectacle to launch this pandemic-necessitated partnership between traditional business rivals.
Reopening theaters need flashy content to lure back customers, especially as newer streamers are moving in on Netflix’s turf (even Snyder’s “Justice League” director’s cut was released straight to streaming on HBO Max). Plus, Snyder’s first zombie film since his debut feature, the 2004 remake of “Dawn of the Dead,” is his most enjoyable in 17 years as well.

Imagine the most glorious, goriest orgy of zombie excess.
Now imagine that’s not nearly enough and you’ll have a pretty good idea of what’s going on in “Army of the Dead.”
As in, Zack Snyder’s “Army of the Dead.” Snyder is synonymous with the too-much-is-never-enough ethos in films, whether it’s effects, running time or just everything, really. Granted, “Army of the Dead” checks in at a mere 2 hours and 28 minutes practically a short film compared to the 4 hours and 2 minutes of “Justice League.”
