Zack Snyder's ARMY OF THE DEAD will be Twistedly Jacked Up

Not only is Zack Snyder working on Man of Steel, but he's also producing another hardcore zombie film project called Army of the Dead, which The Thing director Matthijs van Heijningen Jr. is set to direct. Snyder wrote the story for the Zombie flick and Joby Harold wrote the screenplay. Here is how the movie was previously described by Zack's wife and producing partner:

Basically, something happened in Vegas and there was this huge outbreak of these zombies that were killing people. So to contain it they basically contain Vegas. The city is this wasteland with walls around it and all of these zombies are inside. One of our characters goes in there to investigate and gets trapped inside and her father goes in to search for her. He can't do it alone so he gets a group of mercenaries under the guise that there's money still in the casinos, because they don't care about his daughter.

What she didn't revealed was actually how seriosly jacked up this movie was going to end up being. This could be the most insane zombie film ever made. The director of the movie opened up to io9 recently and offered up some details like... zombie rape scenes. When asked about the film here's what he had to say,

I don't know. It was really close to being made in 2008, but the [financial] crisis broke out, and then it was put on hold. I don't know, it's a very expensive movie. Because it's about Las Vegas being taken over [by zombies] and the government builds a wall around Las Vegas [quarantining the city.] The city is torn to pieces, and a helicopter crashes in the Bellagio Lake. But it's a good story. I hope it stays alive.

He goes on to say that the zombies will be fast in the film then adds,

There's an extra dimension to this zombie film, because they…. they…. I'm still wondering if I should tell this…. the male zombies rape human females. Yes. And they have human hybrid zombie offsprings. It's a new take on the zombie genre, which is crazy.

What the hell!? That is vile and jacked up! This movie will no doubt take the zombie genre to an extreme level, and push the boundaries of zombie Edicate. This movie is obviously being made to shock audiences, it will be interesting to see how the script and story plays out. But zombie rape is not on my list of must see things before I die. How about you?
