Army Of Thieves First Trailer Netflix Previews Zack Snyder Prequel

The screenplay comes from Shay Hatten, who co-wrote “Army of the Dead” with Joby Harold. The cast of “Army of Thieves” includes Nathalie Emmanuel, Ruby O. Fee, Stuart Martin, Guz Khan, and Jonathan Cohen. Producers are Zack Snyder, Deborah Snyder, Wesley Coller, Dan Maag, and Schweighöfer, from a story developed by Snyder and Hatten.

Deborah Snyder previously teased “Army of Thieves” in a conversation with IndieWire following the film’s release this May. She called it a “romantic comedy heist film,” adding, “It stands alone, and [while] you could watch it because it’s the history of our safecracker, it’s also just this really sweet, funny film,” she said. “It’s set in our same timeline, but it’s not like a zombie movie. … It’s more like ‘The Italian Job,’ but it takes place in a world where these zombies exist in America and it’s causing instability in the banking institutions. They’re moving money around, so it’s the perfect opportunity for a heist.” Related Zack Snyder Is Still in the DC Universe and Now Playing Himself on ‘Teen Titans Go!’ Report Claims Bot Accounts Led to Snyder Cut After ‘Unwatchable’ Original ‘Justice League’ Related Quentin Tarantino’s Favorite Movies: 48 Films the Director Wants You to See Oscars 2023: Best Original Song Predictions
Of the film’s character (and the director playing him), Snyder said, “Dieter is so beloved, when we tested the movie, he was one of people’s favorite characters. To get more info of, where did he come from, how did he learn to crack safes, I think that’s really fun, too. He’s a great director. It’s a smaller-scale movie than ‘Army,’ but it looks really big.” Schweighöfer previously made his directing debut in 2010 with the rom-com “What a Man.” “Army of Thieves” was prepped and shot during the pandemic and while a precise release date has yet to be set Netflix says it will be releasing the film on the platform this fall.
