Snyder has drafted a Dutch commercial director named Matthijs van Heijningen, Jr. (not to be confused with his 65-year-old producer father; see some of his work here) to helm the project about a father in a quarantined Las Vegas trying to save his daughter from zombies. Plans call for a lot of wide, epic shots showing thousands of zombies. It has not been reported whether these thousands of zombies will be running full-tilt or just shuffling around looking hungry, but I'm hoping it's the former.

I also wonder if they're going to change the name, considering that earlier this year saw the release of a straight-to-DVD movie that was also called Army of the Dead and featured a squad of zombie conquistadors.
