Zack Snyder Breaks Down a Zombie Heist Scene from 'Army of the Dead' | Vanity Fair - Розваги
"You have the Snyder cut of justice league over there" lmao 😂
LOL
:(
It was really The Snyder Cut tho😂💞
You remember.? In 2018 Haters and bloggers were yelling and telling us "Snyder cut does not exist" 😂
Cool Easter egg!
I love how much he geeks about all the technical aspects of filming. It’s cool to see directors excited about their craft.
You can learn a lot - what not to do.
The Snyder Cut is definitely the most valuable thing in the safe
pretty sure tanaka didnt want the money he wanted the snyder cut
Not really
Martin: "Yeah I have the Alpha head, just waiting on the group to finish loading the chopper with the money..."
Tanaka: "Ha that money is worthless compared to..."
Martin: "...and copies of the JL Snyder Cut"
Tanaka: "...FORGET THE HEAD!"
@@iNathanLite 😂😂😂
@@iNathanLite hmm.. makes sense
I can listen to this guy talk about making movies for days. He’s passionate. And honest
AND 1of THE ALL TIME GREATEST FILMMAKERS.
SENSEI SNYDER is Stanley Kubrick perfection level.
@@leonardomattarmonteiro2824 bro settle down you can not put him in the category for best directors ever. All of his movies are decent but nothing special
@@michaeldonohue5402 but he can that’s his opinion
@@leonardomattarmonteiro2824 agreed
@@najpalace3458 An opinion is something he can state. No one can deny his right to make one. It, however, does not make it factual or even accurate. That statement can be rightly called out as laughable or inaccurate. If people with informed opinions backed with strong and factual data decide to debate him on his opinion even if the point of contention is subjective, they can and probably will, be able to state a strong case as to why his statement was one that is pure hyperbole and has no substance in reality.
I'm waiting for Zack to discuss Robot Zombies
he's saving that for the prequel and the anime
He discussed it in the Vodka Stream with some of his fans I believe. He said it had something to do with the government.
Aliens bro its aliens
@@redhood2394 did he ever discuss where that girl the daughter risked to save
I'm pretty sure "they look cool" is as far as the explanation goes
This film deserves a vfx award for putting Tig in the film because that's still unbelievable it worked so well.
There was only like one shot where you could tell she was cgi other than that it looked amazing
I literally never noticed
exactly, huge props i was like :0 when finding out
@@MouseMan04 the one where they just get out into Vegas right? I think the lighting was off there but everywhere else near perfect.
@@manasvegi4170 yea exactly
I’m so glad Zack wasn’t afraid to mention that Tig wasn’t originally in the movie and was digitally added in later
Can i know why?
Why be afraid? Be hella proud of this accomplishment.
it was pretty obvious she was greenscreened. she is almost never in the same frame as others.
Insane how Tig was inserted into the film. Would have never known.
Such a clean and meticulously done job
I watched it a second time to just watch her scenes and it's crazy how good of a job he did adding her in post. To match the lighting like that is a nightmare!
the one time it looks off is when the team enters Las Vegas with Lilly. the rest of her appearances are seamless
I didn't know she wasn't part of the movie and she was one of my favorite characters lol.
I noticed immediately but it wasn’t terrible. Very noticeable when she is acting with other characters and they aren’t reacting to her.
“You have the Snyder cut of justice league over there” This man is a badass
What was he pointing to? Looked like a counter or something
@@savant7288 In 2017, Zack Snyder left the filming of Justice League due to personal issues, due to which WB hired Joss Whedon (director of Avengers) to direct the remainder of the movie. Later on, Whedon's version of the film was panned by both critics and fans. After which, fans started a petition for WB to release Snyder's version of the movie, which was in WB's 'vault'.
Snyder's version of Justice League was later released on HBO Max
This guy loves making films, he should make a superhero movie.
He already has lol, Watchmen
I’m gonna get r/wooshed aren’t I
@@tanishreviewsfilm2223 yes sir
I’d rather see what he’d do with hero’s and villains he created
IKR, He should try out at WB or something, they'd love to have him
That Tig scene and the helicopter frame alignment was wow!
I agree
I loved Army of the Dead, and I'm not a fan of zombie movies. But I'm a fan of Zack Snyder. His aesthetics, the way he tells stories, his sense of humor, his love of cool shots, it all appeals to me. The action, the music choices, the characters, I loved it. Favorite characters were Dieter and Vanderohe. I'm so glad I'm getting a prequel with Dieter, and probably a sequel with Vanderohe as the Omega zombie. I'm rooting for Zack Snyder, he deserves all the praise and success in the world, he's a good guy.
*This movie will surely have a sequel*
*Army of the dead - mexico*
@Oscar Coello that would be super cool
@isyoustupid? Who would be the immigrants in Mexico?
Zack always leaves us with something at the end of the movie, He left us wondering about the JL2 & now this. He just wants his fans to keep talking about his movie even after years, I love snyder, xd :)
That's where Trump's ill fated Mexico border wall will play a significant part. Not.
if i were to name that sequel it will be Rebirth of the Dead. since you know... the guy is literally the next zeus about start another outbreak
I don't care what anyone says, Zack Snyder definitely deserves all the recognition and appreciation he's been getting lately.
Facts
Fax
Nope. This was a terrible movie. He may be a good guy and has an eye for aesthetics but not really that good a director. He's not the complete package. He goes for the bombast with no subtlety or nuance with more than a smattering of pandering.
@@eddiek8179 I’m going to say this very politely but please go away you troll.
@@eddiek8179 Boo hoo he doesn't direct movies the way I want him to therefore he's bad boo hoo
That scene with chambers just going off by herself with the pistol killing all them zombies was one of my favorite parts of the movie.
She was a warrior
She was a warrior
She channeled her inner John Wick.
Ik, even though she had no military or weapon experience
I love watching Zack snyder talk about his craft. He has such a strong creative and visual eyes for these things!
But ultimately no talent for story telling and piecing one scene to another with cohesion and emotion.
@@eddiek8179 sure
You said his movied sucked but you don't know why, but you say it's sucked because people say it's sucked
@@eddiek8179 Congrats! You got the attention you have been dying for.
@@eddiek8179 think again
"Easy peasy japanesy"
"No sir you cant say that"
"But, im--"
"No"
"I think it's alright if he's Japanesy"
Lmao 😂
Nowaday people can't make jokes even if it's proper
@@boboboy8189 this is not funny.
@@miketoyo496 oof
Was waiting for him to talk about the UFOs and robot zombies.
Yea, those UFOs in the sky were my fave.
Sequel?
@@xDIAMONDDOGx579 netflix are already teasing it
wait what UFOs
@@deltaknight4121 in the opening scene near military checkpoint, theres two ufo in the sky

Been a very long time since we've had one of these. I love hearing directors breakdown scenes from their movies
This was such a badass scene and Junkie XL's music made it even better!
@Morgan Oates Yeah, Guzman got good shooting skills but didn't even helped his friend.
I love him laying out all the visual jokes he puts in his film/s because I always find so many hidden things to laugh at in his films. The snap out of the dream was perfect lol
Zack deserves all the praise he's been getting. He's great!
Movie wasn't good.
@@knowheregamerschronicles1 To you lol
@@tclturbo2456 you have a brain of mush if you think it was a good movie 😂
@@A3421 lmao no I saw a few negative comments on the movie and thought it wouldn't be good .. but jeez was it a fun and amazin movie... worth the while lol
Zack Snyder can break down the opening of a toffee cover and we'll see it.
😄🤜🏼🤛🏼🖤
That's right lol
ZACK SNYDER IS A LEGEND FOR REAL . My man knows how to build a franchise dropping some crazy easter eggs
@@enzleycs1298 I’m really interested to see where zack is going with this I saw ufos robot zombies and etc idk what could happen next
@@enzleycs1298 You think "building it up for franchising" is a good thing? Cinema truly is dead.
@@AimForMyHead81 we know that’s you Scorsese!
What a boring movie. Filmmaking is a dead art
@@rickwebster860 ok rick . bet you a fan of disney movies .
In 2018 Haters and bloggers were telling us the Snyder cut does not exist 😂
Meanwhile Zack was shooting this movie with snyder cut canisters and gave us the Snyder cut Cameo 😘
Imagine him carrying it on the set and everyone is like what the f😂
I love that he's finally being recognized for being the Legend he is since forever.
#RestoretheSnyderverse
yea because the guy that doesn't even incorporate NUCLEAR RADIATION in a movie is a legend
@@glxsten lmao right
@@glxsten doesn't incorporate radiation? WTF are you saying?
@@glxsten if you're referring to the guy in the vault - you realize nuclear radiation doesn't kill you quickly right?
The zombie bite was actually helping him withstand the radiation, I think. But the radiation is the reason he didn’t infect in 7 minutes which is the infection time of the virus.
As much as I want #RestoreTheSnyderVerse I don't want this man to go through the torture and pain. He is a pure soul.
Honestly 🥺🙏🏼 We need to find a way to get rid of the evil executives over at Warner Media that caused so much trouble, and are now currently running all of their franchises into the ground.
@@KabbalahSherry best way to get a movie that you want.
Destroy other franchises so the people who like them can't enjoy it.
Can you not be so selfish, for a single minute?
I think he’d be happier making films on his own terms and more standalone films rather than having to make sure his films have to be connected to other
Dc sucks
2021 is Snyder's year fo sho
Currently this is Zack Snyder’s world and we’re just living in it.
Oh yes!
2021 is the year for Zach Snyder

😆🐐 F*ckin LOL'd bruh - I love Zack so much. Goat status for sure.

Dave Bautista needs to play the Doomguy, he is like totally cut out for it.
Needs to play Bane
@@nicholasxjohnson yeah that too, perfect fit, I guess he was gonna play Bane in the upcoming Suicide Squad movie but dropped out to make Army.
I would pay my money to watch him recklessly destroy stuff with rage 😂
@18 Hands any things better then the rock movies these days cause tbh only good rock movies was the ones with knoxville and stifler
@@cortezmauricio56 I think The Rock is gonna give a good performance in Black Adam. The last time he did any type of actual acting was Gridiron Gang
Am I the only one who thinks of Kong: Skull Island everytime I see the chopper in sunset
Bruh i think of vietnam
Same here I thought about that as well as apocalypse now
I was just thinking about that.
It’s an homage to Apocalypse Now
I do!
I love how proud he is on his movie
Moral of the Story: Don't get a BJ while driving or you will cause the literal zombie apocalypse! 😂
But seriously though Army of the Dead was chaotic and beautiful and I love Zack Snyder's stylistic decisions! 👏
Absolutely loved it!!!
What is wrong with you people!! How why and again why?? That movie was unwatchable
@@darkinstinctful123 No way this movie was unwatchable come on
i was entertained for all the 2 1/2hrs
not a perfect movie but still a good one imo
@@darkinstinctful123 tell me how was it unwatchable pls enlighten us
Y'all exaggerating lol the movie wasn't unwatchable nor the best thing ever, it was a fine entertaining movie imo
He should be a professor for film class
He is... He gives guest lectures at Pasadena college of arts
@@kousikkuchipudi3442 that's freaking dope.
You could tell how passionate he is
@@MrAlvarez23 bruh .. I'm not his student.... I'm just his fan... This is not any secret....
@@kousikkuchipudi3442 No need to be a douche.
This guy is talented af
So true bestie!
no
Agreed
@@gianlucabrandi9675 yes
@@thewitcherking937 no, army of the dead is horrible
For me, the heist scene, along with the guy telling them they're all going to die, made it very clear it would be a disaster. 😅
i mean yeah. movie's not gonna go exactly as it was planned
Nope, the time loop will reset until they success. So I think they never died. Just what we seen for now it the third loop where they died. The second one was the dead corpse they found near the vault. The first was the blueprint they found at the first floor casino. They fourth loop probly where they all escape with the money. I guest Tanaka only wants the head. While the money inside the vault 50m was for their payment. And Tanaka would mostly kill the guy who bail out saying they all gonna die. Tanaka gave some look at his bodyguard lol
something i found interesting in the casino fight at the end was a few of the zombies had like exo skeletons I wish he would talk about those.
Exo? Or you mean cyborg like. I didn't seen any zombies with an exterior mechanical suit.
@@chrisclincy2010 lol yeah that’s what I meant the ones with the blue eyes and robot skulls
@@Ethan-yz6tj those were t-1000 cyborgs
It's saved for prequel and sequels.
Someday I would love to make movie with him
Same
They CGIed Tig an actual full human. One the other side WB cant even remove a mustache.
How about Snyder breaks down the Justice League action scenes.
I truly loved this movie, brings me much joy seeing Zack able to really show off his skills as a filmmaker in this movie!
it's actually really cool hearing him talk about everything they did to shoot tig's scenes
Notaro was added so flawlessly into the scenes and there we have mustache on the other hand.
This was so awesome too watch. You can see that Zack genuinely loves to shoot movies and have fun. Such a great guy. Hope I get to meet him someday
His passion for filmmaking is so infectious.
Whether you like his films or not, I can't help but feel inspired just by listening to him talk abut filmmaking.
Why wasn’t there a cool scene with the SAW? I think that’s the question on all our minds, there was SO much set up for it....
Ikr
CuZ that saw will probably be a big deal in the NEXT movie, where we see this dude is clearly gonna be our new Alpha. 😉 Just be patient!
I was also expecting the finale to be set in the rain, re-animating all those dried out zombies they see when they first cross over.
@@KabbalahSherry oh so basically that what it is he made this movie while focusing on the sequel. Dude get the first one on point before u mess with sequels. If it directing a movie focus on that movie not another movie down the line. Because the movie will suffer if u donr
@@johnstrickland3933 it's a crap movie. not sure what kind of crack he was smoking when he made this. none of the plot points made any sense
I will watch Zack Snyder breakdown the whole movie even if it is two days long.
I love how he let tig have her own takes on her character with the cigarette 🤣
His little laughes in between 😂
This man deserves all the love
Honestly 🥺🙏🏼 He's so wholesome.
Wow I love how much enthusiasm and love for explaining this scene and all his anecdotes about the day of filming Snyder is the best
I am now deeply interested in making films.....thanks to zack snyder 👍👍
Thats great
please not, not another guy who cant make movies.
@@Jungle_Noodle stfu, no one knows how to make movies when they start out.
I don’t get why his haters comment under post abt him still amazes me
But go for your dream bro💪🏾
I never thought I'd hear "Snyder Cut of Justice League and Saddam Hussein's AK-47's" in the same sentence
This man is way too brilliant to have not done anything in the movie on purpose.
I'm sure every little thing in this movie is there for a reason. We just don't know yet.
facts
Image the movie is written so bad and your fans think it is a Nolan/Villeneuve movie because they dont understand it.
Snyder never does anything without thought behind it. That's why you can still discover new stuff in like BvS after rewatching a couple of times.
I love the snyder cut is in there HAHA
Hanzo really out here collecting heads like it’s the krypt
I'm glad more ppl are waking up to how good Zack is. The part where they grabbed zombies and brought them up to take away the traps for the safe was one of my favorites.
This guy's a genius no question on that.
He absolutely isn't a genius. He's a very talented visual director who terribly lacks in other areas.
@@eddiek8179 Who hurt you so much ? Sad
@@eddiek8179 Ok professor. Make a better movie :D
@@squidstone8399 Nope. What's sad is your infantile conclusion because someone has a different opinion than yours. The fact you correlate my dissatisfaction with a movie due to some kind of trauma tells a whole lot more about you than me.
@@The80sWolf_ Criticism and assessment of anything does not require same vocational discipline. In this case, movies are made for the consumer. And as a consumer, I should be able to judge its quality. It's not required to also be a creator to be qualified to judge adequately. Your ridiculously simplistic and basic retort reveals, sadly, an inept logical process. It's something only a small child will think as clever.
1:16
I deadass thought Zack was gonna say,
"this is a really cool old guy-"
He is Scorpion, he couldnt be any cooler
I never could've tell Tig was added in post, absolute technical marvel!
Army of the dead was so much fun! Go into it and embrace the craziness!
Exactly, it was crazy to exchange jokes with the pilot when you have a couple of minutes till the nuclear explosion and open door to the roof behind.
Bro you have the exact play list of what I have @guru_prashanth
It was a 2 hour snore
Zack is a genius. I'm not just jumping on the hype. He honestly has such a unique way of looking at imagery that just astounds me. He is WAY before his time and in my opinion the greatest director of his time. I will admit his scripts need brushing up a little but I get so lost in his visuals that I honestly don't care most of the time the the script is a bit all over the place.
Yeah. I think would be a good director for a silent movie. I think his story telling via just the visuals alone is not talked about enough.
This movie has so many plot holes & dumb characters
@@boomerang-digital8514 you're 100% correct. However I will say that if you dislike the movie in them points then you don't fully get the movie and need to lighten up a bit.
i am glad there are platforms that will interview directors to breakdown their movie scenes
Been watching these interviews a lot of zack snyder, he's actually pretty cool
I love how at ease he is explaining the details, and how you can see he still has that child-like love of making movies. Zach has a great process.
What a legend, a pure soul, he deserves the best of the best
Zack Snyder has to be my favourite director. Always looking forward to what he does next.
Thank you Vanity Fair !!! Been waiting sooo long for Zack to be in this series breaking down a scene !
2021 belongs to King Snyder!
I love seeing Zack talk and for some reason I enjoy hearing him talk about his filmmaking then any other director and im happy he is getting alot of recognition now hopefully it continues
Love all Snyder content we’ve been getting lately. 👏💯
Crazy idea to see the place I used to walk by every morning for 6 months just mess up beyond repair..My walks took me all the way down to Caesar's palace almost every day starting in Convention Center Dr or I would head down to Sahara and back..Now is full of Zeds LOL!!
You know he's passionate when he gives out every minute things in a scene
One of the best directors working in the industry right now.
You just realize how much planning, calculations and experience that is required to make these kinds of movies.
Well said
I want more Movie Directors breaking down their iconic movies. I want to know breakdowns of Endgame, Infinity War, Justice League etc.
I've been waiting for this
13:28 Zack humbly explaining that he's a god at filmmaking hahaha
It's beautiful to watch and listen to a person talk about something they love and enjoy to do.
This dude is an artist 🎨🎬📽📸 and a very good one at that!!
I was hoping his excitement and passion for visuals and drawings can also translate into better storytelling and flawless narrative. The movie has tons of questions left hanging. But no one can question how he truly loves his own movie. Love your own!😜
Just hearing this man talk is beautiful
There were so many unfired Chekhov's gun in the movie that you could take down the whole zombie army in the movie with them
Yeah but it was at least fun, also some of that stuff is being saved for the sequel since this is just the first film. I understand why it’s annoying but hey Zack always utilizes things he sets up even if it takes a sequel to do it.
@@Sci-Fi_Freak_YT now you got it... 👍👍👍
Need more of like this. Vanity Fair
Yes VF! Thank you! More Zack content is always great!!
I know some people dont like it, but the use of depth of field in this and the knightmare sequence of zsjl looks so good/dreamy to me
I like it too, especially the shot of Dave's gun before he blows Zeus' head off
Zack snyder- digitally replces an actor throughout a movie,creates all the same lightings and makes the movie under budget
whedon-cant even get superman's face right for 5 mins of footage
I was shocked when I found that out. I'd never have guessed.
Because... Whedon didnt make Buffy, Avengers, and everything great before??
@@shabrinaz9877 that's not what the op is talking about though.
@@shabrinaz9877 because...whedon didnt harass or threaten so many people on those shows and movies and even asked charisma carpenter if she intends to keep her baby when she was pregnant
This was one of my favorite scenes in the movie
love the movie surprised with the time loop thing that was some great world building right there
god he's so passionate
Zack Snyder's lookin' hot🔥🔥
Is it just me or is Zack Snyder just so good at drawing circles
I don't think anyone could possibly have more fun making movies than this guy's team. It's not the best in terms of realism or logic but every one of his works is like witnessing a momentous event. If filmmakers were machines then Snyder is the muscle car of Hollywood
I really enjoyed Army of the dead. This movie is the best zombie movie I’ve ever seen in my life
I can tell Zack Synder has spring allergies LOL
What makes you say that ?
@Jim Gordon - Nah, he's not into that Hollyweird scene bruh. 🙄 But nice try. smh
Has anyone else noticed that Zac filmed his WIRED, GQ AND Vanity Fair interviews in the same outfit / studio. Now that is some gooood timekeeping and organisation
Love the way he is so much passionate about movie making.
We love you Zack. We don't deserve you. You're ahead of our time. Like if you agree ! #RestoreTheSnyderVerse #ArmyOfTheDeadSequel
sorry but that shallow depth of field view for the movie was an awful creative decision on top of the random robot zombies
@@ptg6202 fr, movie was dog, he's lucky he got a big budget for the action
More than most directors, Zack is very visual and he is so passionate! I could watch him talk about moviemaking for hours.
Lol the snap part being "too literal"
Zack Snyder needs to be the one who's in charge of the next aliens vs predator movie. Now that would be insane!
