“Better than a movie!” : The credits for this Zack Snyder film are a masterpiece of the genre

The first feature film from the man who would direct Watchmen, 300, Man of Steel and even Justice League, Army of the Dead, which is available on Amazon Prime, proved to be a heavy hit when it was released in 2004.

Written by James Gunn, the film also stars Sarah Paul, Ving Rhames, Jake Webber and Mech Pfeiffer.

If George A. Romero’s “Dawn of the Dead” was primarily seen as a metaphor for the cannibalism of our consumer society,Army of the Dead By Zack Snyder aims for another symbolism. He suggests that religious wars are a precursor to the apocalypse.

Therefore, the extraordinary and famous song of Johnny Cash is also used, A man comes aroundIn which he specifically mentions the 4 horsemen of the apocalypse: “I heard a voice raised among the four beasts / I looked and saw a horse with a foolish pallor / His name was death / And hell followed him.”

Here are the credits of the film, a masterpiece of the genre:

We owe this brilliant creation to a very famous artist named Kyle Cooper, who graduated from Yale University in Graphic Arts. Co-founder of agencies Imagination powers and Prologue moviesHe has produced over 150 film credits, including Se7en and The Walking Dead.

The Army of the Dead combines images from various sources such as real archives of war images, blood globules magnified under a microscope, riot images from (real) TV reports, CGI… The result is one hell of an uppercut and a great lesson in editing.

Zack Snyder was very upset

Words that didn’t escape Zack Snyder’s ears were logically insulted. Some people in Hollywood refuse to work with Kyle Cooper because he is also famous “Like the guy who does theme songs for movies.”

Invited to the Locarno Festival in 2018, Kyle Cooper returned to his collaboration with Snyder in an interview. Film exposure : “I had a good experience with Zack Snyder, but he didn’t contact me because of that According to one of his relatives whom I spoke to. I don’t want to do that. I don’t agree with Elvis Mitchell and I want to build a permanent relationship with the directors.”
