Sadist Cop

**Sadist Cop** was a police officer working in New York City.

## Biography

This cop had corrupt dealings with the local Mafia Boss, who would pay him to look the other way when the mafia committed crimes in his jurisdiction. His sadistic interests took the form of whipping women in an underground brothel of sorts. One day he hired Lin Woo and began to whip her, but after a while she seized a chance to fight back, smashing him in the face with a whiskey bottle. He got himself patched up, but returned to extract his revenge with a couple of his fellow policemen. Two mafia thugs dragged Woo into the back alley, where the sadistic cop repeatedly punched her. After he'd had his fill, he signaled the mafia boss to kill Woo, but she turned the tables. She fought her way through the mafia members and policemen until all that remained was the sadist. She struck him with his comrade's baton, and he pleaded for his life through his now-broken teeth. She didn't relent, firing the mafia boss' gun into the sadist's brain.

## Lizzy Borden - "Love is a Crime"

Zack Snyder directed the 1991 music video for Lizzy Borden's hit glam metal single, "Love is a Crime", from their best-selling album, *Master of Disguise*. The 1989 album peaked at 133 on the Billboard 200, with "Love is a Crime" becoming one of the band's staple songs.

## My Chemical Romance - "Desolation Row"

My Chemical Romance covered "Desolation Row," originally by Bob Dylan, for the soundtrack of *Watchmen*. Zack Snyder directed the music video, which was designed as if it took place within the universe presented in the movie. The video tells a story of a riot occurring in and around a punk concert that's being combatted by police and a SWAT team, who eventually arrest the band. The first chapter of *Watchmen*, upon which the movie was based, was named "At Midnight All the Agents" after "Desolation Row." The cover song peaked at #20 among *Billboard'*s modern rock tracks in March 2009 and reached #1 on the UK Rock & Metal charts during Feburary 2009.

## Dan Fogler, Ezra Miller - "Hanukkah, O Hanukkah (A Magical Time of Year)"

> "It was just full of imagination and creativity. It really was whoever had the stronger idea, we went with it. There was no ego or anything like that. We just wanted to make the strongest film possible; a film that we really wanted to see. The process was amazing. Our writing styles really blended well because we're both very visual. Our scripts were very visual and descriptive and we would take turns."

They spent a few years passing the script back and forth until Snyder began the production of *Dawn of the Dead* and became a bit too busy to continue the work on *Sucker Punch*, but Shibuya kept up with it and the film was eventually picked up by Warner Bros.

Scott Glenn

**Scott Glenn** (born January 26, 1939)in an American actor. He portrayed the Wise Man in *Sucker Punch*. Zack Snyder also had Glenn in mind for Dave Bautista's role in *Army of the Dead*, Scott Ward, who was named for Glenn. When Snyder pitched *300* to Warner Bros., he presented them with an animated version of the original comic, narrated by Glenn.

## Biography

Born Theodore Scott Glenn on January 26, 1941, in Pittsburgh to Theodore and Elizabeth Glenn, young Scott was raised with sisters Bonnie and Terry Glenn in Appalachia. He was a sickly child who spent a lot of time bedridden, but all those illnesses afforded him time to read and dream. He undertook rigorous physical training to improve his health. He later said he once wanted to be a poet like Lord Byron, and enrolled in the College of William and Mary as an English major.

He spent three years in the Marines, and later tried to be a crime reporter in Kenosha, Wisconsin, and then a novelist, but confessed to "problems with dialogs." Frustrated, he turned to studying acting in New York at the George Morrison acting class, where he directed student plays. He then joined the prestigious The Actors Studio and began getting theater and TV jobs. In 1970, he landed his first movie work, when Jeff Bridges himself offered Scott a part in *The Baby Maker*.

Moving to Los Angeles, Scott became frustrated looking for interesting roles, and called his first seven years on the West Coast the "most miserable years of my life." At one point, he tired of the Hollywood lifestyle and moved to Ketchum, Idaho, where he spent two years doing odd jobs before returning to Los Angeles. Scott was cast as Clay, the leader of the biker gang in the 2008 FX series *Sons of Anarchy*, but was replaced by Ron Perlman after the pilot episode was shot.

Scott has been married to Carol Schwartz since 1967. They have two daughters, writer Dakota Glenn and actress Rio Glenn. He starred in the 1998 film *Larga Distancia*, which was written by his daughter, Dakota. He and Laurence Fishburne each played the role of Special Agent Jack Crawford in works based on Hannibal Lecter, Glenn playing opposite Anthony Hopkins' Lecter.

Zombies

**Zombies** are members of the undead, infected by a mysterious pathogen spread by the bite of a zombie. They are a major obstacle for the worlds of both *Dawn of the Dead* and the Armyverse. The Armyverse zombies are detailed on the Armyverse Wiki, while this page covers the zombies found in the *Dawn of the Dead* universe.

Zombies mindlessly chase after humans (and only humans) attempting to bite them, which spreads the infection. They can only be stopped by destroying their brains. The nature of the infection was intended to be supernatural according to James Gunn.

## Trivia

* Zombies also appear in *Sucker Punch* and are a major part of the Armyverse.

* The original script for *Dawn of the Dead* included zombie dogs that would have attacked Chips during Andy's delivery. The scene would have cost too much to complete on the film's budget.
	+ The Armyverse also features zombie animals, including dogs.
* There were three stages of decay depicted by the makeup team based on how freshly a person had turned, ranging from fresh wounds to dried blood and rotten flesh.
The Fountainhead

Novel cover used as placeholder

***The Fountainhead*** is an upcoming series adapted from Ayn Rand's novel of the same name by Zack Snyder. The project currently does not have any specific plans to move forward, but has not been canceled.

## Synopsis

Howard Roark, a talented architect, is held back by his refusal to meet the needs of his clients, instead unleashing his creativity. He eventually takes on a new building design which causes him to draw the attention of Ellsworth Toohey, a critic opposed to creative talent in architecture. Toohey manipulates a businessman to hire Roark to design a building, then sue him once it's built, forcing Roark to lose his business. Gail Wynand, an old classmate of Roark's whose work had been declining, then hires Roark to design buildings for the Cortlandt Homes public housing project and allow Wynand to take the credit, which intrigues Roark. He designs the project, but it's altered during construction, and so Roark destroys it. When his case is brought to trial, Roark manages to sway the jury into a not-guilty verdict.

--*Synopsis based on the novel*

## Production

Snyder had long planned on adapting *The Fountainhead* as a movie, first revealing it on May 28, 2018, at which point he stated it would be his next project (previously believed to be *The Last Photograph*). This was shortly before his first deal with Netflix, which saw him head in a different direction, leading to the production of *Army of the Dead*. The film would have picked up after *Army*, however, due to the political climate of the United States at the time, Snyder decided to hold off. He has a script in progress, but it's now being written as a series instead of a movie. On November 28, 2023, *Wired* released an interview with Snyder focusing on his upcoming *Rebel Moon Part 1: A Child of Fire*. In it, the author, Hemal Jhaveri, mentions that Snyder showed him the screenplay for *The Fountainhead*, seemingly complete.

## *Dawn of the Dead*

***The 40-Year-Old Virgin*** features a scene in which Jay, a fan of Zack Snyder's *Dawn of the Dead*, is secretly watching the movie on the job. While the protagonist, Andy, attempts to have a serious conversation with Jay, Jay is distracted by the movie.

## *300*

***South Park*** episode, "D-Yikes!", was a *300* parody, using elements of Leonidas and the Spartans versus Xerxes and the Persians to tell the story of Ms. Garrison leading a defense of the town's lesbian bar against the new owners, the Persians.

## *Sucker Punch*

***Call of Duty: Black Ops II*** and ***Black Ops III*** featured Origins in the "Apocalypse" and "Zombies Chronicles" DLC packs. Origins was a zombie game mode taking place in a setting very similar to the trenches of *Sucker Punch*. Some specific scenes and props were based directly on those that appear in the movie, a giant mech designed based on *Meka* appears, and there are cutscenes that feature the choreography from the movie. Some of the zombies are also designed to look like those in *Sucker Punch*.

***Overwatch*** features a character called D.Va that utilizes notable elements from *Sucker Punch*. She rides a giant mech similar to Amber's *Meka*, which has a "MEKA" emblem on its side, though, in this case referring to a military unit rather than the name of the vehicle. D.Va also carries a pistol with a bunny charm dangling from the handle, like Babydoll does, and her in-game symbology includes a bunny logo very similar to the one on the face of *Meka*.

**Bella Poarch**, naming *Sucker Punch* as one of her favorite movies, based part of her music video for "Dolls" on the movie, including naming a mechanical arm "Sucker Punch".
Wisconsin

**Wisconsin** is a state in the midwestern region of the United States of America. The entire plot of *Dawn of the Dead* takes place within the state.

Snow Steam Iron

***Snow Steam Iron*** is a short film produced by Zack Snyder with his family.

## Official synopsis

> Snow gently falls on the blood-stained streets of a seedy out-of-time New York City. Steam envelops the nightmare unfolding within its narrow alleys. Iron is the will of the one who would dare to resist... fight... survive.
>
> --Official press release

## Plot

A backroom deal is made on behalf of a young woman working as a model in New York City that results in her taking a beating. Seizing an opportunity, she fights back, injuring the corrupt cop. Her situation goes from bad to worse when the police and mafia agree that the woman can no longer continue breathing. She's taken to a back alley, where the mafia boss is going to kill her, but she fights back again. She defeats her would-be murderers one by one, thug and cop alike, finally arriving at the sadistic officer who first beat her. She knocks his teeth out with his fellow officer's baton before finishing him off. She's later arrested for her killing spree.

## Production

When Zack Snyder and his family suffered a tragic loss in 2017, Zack and Deborah Snyder had to step down from their work on *Justice League*. As part of their grieving process, they decided to spend a weekend making a short film as a family. *Snow Steam Iron* was the result of that weekend's work. They produced the project through their production company, Cruel & Unusual Films, Inc. largely with connections they'd made along the way. The only camera Zack used was his iPhone.

### Release

The short film was released directly by Zack Snyder on the social media network, VERO True Social. It can be viewed here.

### Response

The short received a mostly positive response from audiences, with a score of 7.6/10 from IMDb users and 95% of Google users enjoying the film.

**Ty Burrell** (born August 22, 1967) is an American actor. He portrayed Steve in *Dawn of the Dead*. Burrell and Jake Weber tried out for each other's parts, but Burrell was better suited to play a jerk, while Weber seemed too nice to play the jerk that Steve was meant to be.

## Trivia

* Notaro's character was originally portrayed by Chris D'Elia, but he was digitally replaced with Notaro.
	+ During Notaro's replacement photography, every shot that included Peters had to be reshot, including blurry background shots. This was the most technical portion of filming, as lighting and camera angles were free and loose for principle photography, but had to be heavily calculated so the replacement shots would match the existing shots.
	+ Since Notaro was decked out in so much combat gear and filmed so many shots alone, she thought she was the main character of the film. When she found out most of those shots were blurry background images, Zack Snyder gave her a "Best Out of Focus Actor" award.
* Notaro was nominated for Best Supporting Actress in the 2021 Hollywood Critics Association Midseason Awards for her role as Marianne Peters.
