The Hindu
Ahead of the launch of the Netflix feature film, director Zack Snyder and actor Dave Bautista chat about taking his ‘of the Dead’ zombie films to the next level and the global support for the SnyderVerse
It’s not every day you see Zack Snyder relaxed in his office in a hoodie. Someone rushes into the room and hands him a drink. Even over a video call with The Hindu Weekend, the filmmaker who delighted millions of fans with is fine to comment on a bit on “anti-Snyder Warner Brothers”. After all, many fans still blame the latter not just for the decline of the DC Extended Universe (DCEU) but also for snubbing the initial production of Army of the Dead (AOTD), which Netflix later adopted and is releasing on May 21. .With the clock ticking down to the Lok Sabha election counting day on Tuesday, opposing fronts are perceptibly edgy and poised to continue the rancorous skirmishing that marked the campaign season in Kerala. The United Democratic Front, led by the Congress, is seemingly basking in the “interim victory” granted by various exit polls. The UDF discerns that its poll strategy of turning the polls foremostly into a damning referendum on the Left Democratic Front government’s perceived failures rather than BJP’s “divisive politics” at the national level stood a fighting chance of paying off.
