Zack Snyder's Army of the Dead: Netflix Trailer Pits Dave Bautista Against a Zombie Tiger
Netflix has released a new trailer for Zack Snyder's Army of the Dead, which sees Dave Bautista and his band of mercenaries come up against a zombie tiger.The explosive new trailer for the post-apocalyptic picture ups the ante for Dave Bautista's Scott Ward and his ragtag group of fortune seekers, as they take the ultimate gamble and venture into a Las Vegas quarantine zone to raid a casino for its vault full of cash. Before hitting the jackpot, however, the tenacious team must face hordes of the shambling undead and one very wild surprise.
The stakes are raised even further as the group must break through the corpse-filled chaos to retrieve the $200 million from the vault situated beneath the strip before the city is nuked by the government in 32 hours. 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.
In addition to Bautista, Army of the Dead's killer ensemble cast includes Ella Purnell, Ana de la Reguera, Garret Dillahunt, Raúl Castillo, Omari Hardwick, Tig Notaro, Nora Arnezeder, Matthias Schweighöfer, Samantha Win, Theo Rossi, Huma Qureshi, and Hiroyuki Sanada, as well as Raúl Castillo, Huma Quereshi, Samantha Win, Richard Cetrone, and Michael Cassidy.
RELEASE DATE
Army of the Dead appeared in Netflix's sizzle reel for 2021 at the beginning of the year, with the streaming giant promising to release at least one new movie a week throughout 2021 a total of at least 70.
