Netflix is inviting fans to embark on a heist of sorts of their own. A global livestream event for
Army of the Dead will allow fans to unlock the first 15 minutes of Zack Snyder’s zombie heist movie through an “interactive experience.” It’s not a heist featuring the undead and a zombie tiger, but it will do.
Netflix announced that it will host aan interactive
Army of the Dead event on Thursday,
May 13, 2021 at 10 A.M. PT/1 P.M. ET, available only on the Netflix YouTube channel. Fans can tune into this interactive experience to unlock the first 15 minutes of the zombie action heist flick and see special appearances from director Zack Snyder, as well as cast members Dave Bautista, Ella Purnell, Omari Hardwick, Ana De La Reguera, Matthias Schweighöfer, Nora Arnezeder, Tig Notaro and more.
Ahead of its debut later this month, Netflix has released a behind-the-scenes featurette for Zack Snyder’s newest zombie action-thriller
Army of the Dead, starring Dave Bautista. The video features Snyder as he dissects the epic trailer for
Army of the Dead, which was released three weeks ago. The
Justice League filmmaker takes us shot-by-shot, revealing some behind-the-scenes details about their filming locations and its characters including the names of the film’s two main antagonists. Check out the video in the player below!
This new video comes after it was confirmed that the film will be first arriving in theaters on May 14, exclusively at 200 Cinemark locations. The wide release will then be followed by its global streaming debut on May 21 on Netflix.
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.

Army of the Dead a wide release in theaters before it arrives on the streaming service. Netflix, historically speaking, has not cared much about the box office. They gave movies like
The Irishman theatrical runs to qualify for awards and/or appease filmmakers. But now, they seem to be exploring the space a bit more seriously.
