Zack Snyder brought some life back to Atlantic City with a bit of help from the undead. Army of the Dead, Snyder s new, zombie-filled horror and action epic, is set in a post-apocalyptic version of Las Vegas, with Sin City overrun by hordes of flesh-eating ghouls. The film is now playing in select theaters and debuts on Netflix on Friday, May 21, with plenty of the mayhem, terror and carnage happening on screen having been shot thousands of miles away from Vegas in the southern Jersey Shore s own gambling and entertainment resort town. Army of the Dead, also filmed in Las Vegas and Albuquerque, New Mexico, spent its 2019 New Jersey shoot at the Showboat Hotel and the former Atlantic Club Casino Hotel, two Atlantic City boardwalk destinations which closed as casinos in 2014.
The movie was filmed inside two abandoned Atlantic City casinos, the Showboat Hotel and Atlantic Club Casino Hotel, serving as backdrop for some interior scenes.
Most of the movie was filmed in 2019. Other film locations included Las Vegas, California and New Mexico. Army of the Dead brings together a pair of notable faces from arguably the two biggest superhero and comic book film series of the last decade.
Dave Bautista, who has played Drax the Destroyer in four Marvel Cinematic Universe films, is the lead actor in the movie.
The film was directed, produced and written by Zack Snyder, who is maybe best known for his work with the DC Extended Universe films.
