Title Of ‘Army Of The Dead 2’ Announced On The Day Of The Prequel’s Release

This past May Netflix unleashed Zach Snyder‘s action-packed zombie flick Army of the Dead (review), now Netflix has just announced the sequel’s official title, Planet of the Dead. The title seemingly confirms that the zombie virus has spread since the team went on their mission to retrieve the cash. In the final moments, we saw Omari Hardwick’s character Vanderohe survive Las Vegas, or so we thought after he boards a plane and release he’s been bitten. We were also left not knowing the fate of Matthias Schweighöfer’s Ludwig Dieter. The real adventure would be to see what happened to him when that safe door closed,” Snyder teased. “Did he get killed by Zeus or not? What happened?

“Murder Your Thirst”: An Interview With Liquid Death Founder And CEO Mike Cessario

Liquid Death, what a killer name for a brand of water! Recently, Liquid Death teamed up with Netflix for Zach Snyder’s Army of the Dead (review).

I spoke with Mike Cessario, founder and CEO of Liquid Death, who is a former Netflix creative, to learn more about the company.

Netflix Review: Army of the Dead (2021)

Zack Snyder’s highly anticipated zombie flick Army of the Dead has finally premiered on Netflix and fulfills all the filmmaker’s promises of incredible badass action. It all begins like so many horror movies do, with a government experiment gone wrong while trying to create a super soldier. During transport the government’s experiment escapes and begins infecting all of Las Vegas. In the movie Dave Bautista’s Scott Ward gets an offer he can’t refuse, to put together a team and head into Las Vegas, now walled off and filled to the brim with zombies, to retrieve $200 million sitting in a vault.
