> "Whenever we were stuck, Zack's like, 'You know what, I think this guy can do it perfectly,' and we're like, 'Do you think he would do it?' and Zack's like, 'Let me give him a call,' and Zack would just call him and I'm like, how cool is that? He just has these actors on speed dial. . . Everybody loves working with Zack. I mean, that's the one thing I can't stress enough. So whenever Zack gives you a call, you're more than happy to drop everything and help out."

> Jay Oliva, Justice Con 2021

**Jay Oliva** is an American artist, animator, producer, and animation director. He started working with Zack Snyder and Cruel and Unusual Films with 2013's *Man of Steel* as a storyboard artist, then continued with that role through nearly every Cruel and Unusual Films and The Stone Quarry film since. He storyboarded *300: Rise of an Empire*, *Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice*, *Wonder Woman*, *Justice League*, *Zack Snyder's Justice League*, and *Army of the Dead*. He also completed an unknown workload for *Rebel Moon* early in its production, likely referring to storyboarding the project.

In addition to storyboarding and with years of professional animation experience, Oliva founded Lex + Otis in 2018. Under this animation studio he led the animated series, *Army of the Dead: Lost Vegas* then under the joint venture, KRAKN Animation, led *Twilight of the Gods* as the showrunner and one of the directors for both. He was a producer for *Lost Vegas* and executive producer for *Twilight*. Also for *Twilight*, Oliva co-founded the animation wing of The Stone Quarry, Stone Quarry Animation, alongside the Zack and Deborah Snyder and Wesley Coller.

Oliva directed and storyboarded the dream sequence of the 365th episode of *Teen Titans Go!*, which featured Zack Snyder and Patrick Wilson guest-starring as themselves. He was also referenced in *Batman v Superman* with a name plate matching his name. The character was labeled as a sports writer for the *Daily Planet*, and his absence is what caused Clark Kent's assignment in Gotham City, ultimately leading to the conflict with Batman.

> "It was an amazing opportunity and, of course, very different experience. I ended up going literally from shooting *Echo 3* to Los Angeles to prep for *Rebel Moon*, and it was a bit of a shock. You going from shooting a scene on a little island to stepping into the world that is Zack Snyder's. Imagine big sets and, yes, it's a very different working environment, but how amazing to be able to do both."

Opening Titles

"**Opening Titles**" is the first episode of the filmmaking documentary series, *Snyder School*, presented by Zack Snyder.

## Synopsis

> "In 'Snyder School,' Zack Snyder takes us on a four episode journey into his groundbreaking creative process as a filmmaker. In Episode 1, Zack discusses his approach to creating a title sequence, from storyboard sketches to special effects, in Army of the Dead, as well as 300, Watchmen, and Justice League."
>
> Official YouTube synopsis

## Plot

In this episode, Zack Snyder explains his thought process behind, and feelings about opening title sequences. He explains techniques he used to create the opening titles for *Dawn of the Dead* (2004), *300* (2006), *Watchmen* (2009), *Zack Snyder's Justice League* (2021), and *Army of the Dead* (2021). The *Army* opening titles, in particular, act as a short film that tells a story akin to the full story of the movie at large, ending with the final crush of hope as Soccer Mom's daughter is killed, just as nearly all characters are killed during the Götterdämmerung heist and its escape.

Dawn of the Dead (game)

***Dawn of the Dead*** was a 2010 iPhone game developed by Bytemark Games based on the film of the same name. The game was $2.99 on the app store.

## Synopsis

> Dawn of the Dead iPhone (DOTD) brings the timeless zombie horror classic to the iPhone and iPod Touch for the first time. An intense action game that puts players in the shoes of a lone survivor among the horde of undead, DOTD is sure to please fans of George Romero's film phenomenon. After fleeing in terror from a suburban neighborhood, players find themselves stranded at the entrance of the Crossroads Mall. To survive, they must make their way through the mall, where they will meet other survivors and devise an escape plan.
>
> Official synopsis

## Description

The game follows the premise of the movie in which the player arrives at Crossroads Mall, then must find a way into the building, and ultimately escape through the parking garage. There are three playable characters, each modeled loosely on one of the three main characters from the film: The nurse (Ana Clark), police officer (Kenneth Hall), and salesman (Michael). There are five levels to complete to finish the story, starting with the parking lot and ending in the parking garage. The second level fetures the inside of the mall where you meet mall security (modeled after CJ) to activate the elevators to the basement. Completing story mode unlocks survival mode, in which waves of zombies attack the player until the player succumbs to the infection.

In addition to the character options, the player could choose one melee weapon (shovel, bat, golf club, hammer, or fire axe), one handgun (Glock or Magnum), and one larger gun (rifle, shotgun, or M-16) for their playthrough. Gameplay is top-down, twin-stick, allowing the player to move in one direction and attack in a different direction.

Obaks

**nom savant**  : Bassiluthérium.

**Description :** Animal de bât géant, à l'odeur musquée, au long cou et quatre longues pattes robustes.

Les caravanes d'obaks approvisionnent toutes les villes du réseau des ville-phares, parmi lesquelles Kioshe.

Les obaks mâles sont particulièrement violents et seuls les chants des mystérieux bergers parviennent à les contrôler.

**Vitesse de déplacement** : marche 8km/h / course 20 km/h. 80 km/j en l'absence d'obstacles. (Kioshe est à 3 jours de marche de la plaine hyrdriane, en montée.)

**Utilisation :** Marchandises et passagers sont transportés sur l’échine des bêtes, sous forme de ballots ou à bord de nacelles sur les flancs. Ils mugissent. Les caravanes poursuivent leur trajet de nuit, guidées par les flammes des villes-phares. En tête de cortège marche le plus vieil obak de la caravane ; il ne porte pas de charge mais le palanquin du berger.

**Mythologie**

On raconte que le premier obak porta la plus grande ville du monde sur son dos et la détruisit pour châtier l'indolence de ses habitants. Des clans entiers sont dévoués à ces monstrueuses créatures dont les colères sont aussi dangereuses que légendaires. Sans eux, pas de commerce.

> I'll forever be grateful to Zack for casting me and believing that I could bring Diana to life. I had no idea what the future would hold back when this picture was taken - seeing it makes me very nostalgic. It's also proof that everything happens for a reason. I was on the verge of giving up acting... and then this happened.

> Gal Gadot, Instagram

**Gal Gadot** (born April 30, 1985) is an Israeli actress who starred in the DC Extended Universe films produced by Cruel & Unusual Films, Inc. and The Stone Quarry as Wonder Woman. Her casting in the role encouraged her to remain in the United States instead of moving back home and giving up on acting. The character was introduced in *Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice* before spinning off into her own movie, *Wonder Woman*, and its follow-up, *Wonder Woman 1984*. She also reprised the character for *Justice League* and *Zack Snyder's Justice League*, in which Wonder Woman was a leading character. She later appeared briefly as the character in *Shazam! Fury of the Gods* and *The Flash*.

Gadot starred in *Red Notice*, which had a promotional crossover with *Army of Thieves*, connecting her character to the Armyverse. This brief appearance alongside Matthias Schweighöfer was soon followed up with the two meeting in *Heart of Stone* for Netflix. Gadot also has a recurring role in the *The Fast and the Furious* franchise, which also featured portrayals by Nathalie Emmanuel, Jason Momoa, Djimon Hounsou, Kristofer Hivju, and Peter Stormare.

Lin Woo

**Lin Woo** is the protagonist of Zack Snyder's short film, *Snow Steam Iron*, portrayed by frequent Cruel & Unusual Films and The Stone Quarry collaborator, Samantha Win. She was a model working in New York City until a violent incident landed her in prison.

## Biography

### The photoshoot

Lin Woo was a model in New York City. She had a photoshoot at a boudoir studio with an oriental-style set working with Boudoir Photographer. Scarlett and Boudoir Model helped her prepare. The photographs may have been used as a catalogue for a prostitution ring, as she later led a corrupt police officer up to a bedroom wearing the same outfit. She got on the bed and into a vulnerable position, at which point the officer began whipping her. She screamed out in pain, but continued to bear with it for a time. When she saw the chance, she picked up a whiskey bottle and smashed the officer in the face.

### Massacre in the back alley

After the officer got patched up, he had Lin dragged from the building, into the back alley. A small group of mafia members held her down, and the cop mercilessly beat her. When he was satisfied he gave a nod to the Mafia Boss, who raised his cleaver to finish her off. Thug held her from behind, but she pulled down from his grasp as the cleaver inched closer, causing it to sink into his chest. She reached for the boss' gun in his waistband before he realized what had happened, and aimed it up into his head. She fired, killing him. The two officers who had come with the sadist charged Lin. The first took a wide swing at her head with his baton, but she dodged the blow by bending down to pick up the blood-stained cleaver. He tried to turn to face her, but she caught his arm and sliced off his hand with a clean slash. The second officer raised his gun, but Lin flung the cleaver into his chest. She reached down and picked up the first officer's baton and slowly approached the sadist cop, gun drawn. She gestured for him to drop to his knees, which he did. She smashed him in the face with the baton, knocking his teeth out. He pleaded for his life, but she showed no mercy. She pulled the trigger with the barrel of the gun right up against his face.

Lin was later arrested. Booking Cop took her fingerprints and Police Photographer took her mugshots.

**Dave Bautista** (born January 18, 1969) is an American actor who joined The Stone Quarry's Armyverse as the protagonist of *Army of the Dead*, Scott Ward. He returned to voice the character in *Army of the Dead: Lost Vegas*. He'd wanted both to get on *The Walking Dead* and to work with Zack Snyder for a while before this, but when he first heard of the project, he wasn't interested. He believed it would be a mindless action film, and was likely going to join the cast of *The Suicide Squad* with James Gunn instead. However, after reading the script, he knew he couldn't pass up the role of Scott Ward.

Bautista previously worked with James Gunn on the *Guardians of the Galaxy* franchise, portraying Drax in several movies. Drax was his first big break into films which led to many other roles, setting a new trajectory for both his career and life. Before that he was a WWE wrestler known as Batista, making him one of the few wrestlers to break into Hollywood.

Fury of the Gods*. Hounsou can be heard singing in the first *Rebel Moon* trailer.

**Die Grundlagen der Einsteinschen Relativitäts-Theorie** (known in english as *The Fundamentals of the Einsteinian Relativity Theory*) is a 1922 German partly animated documentary film created with the goal of bringing Einstein's theory of relativity to the broad public. It premiered on April 2, 1922 at the Frankfurt Fair.

## Availability

This documentary, as well as the two English versions, are both considered to be lost, as they currently cannot be viewed anywhere. Since this film was released more than 100 years ago, it could be possible that it could be lost forever.
Alex Pardee

> "I got hired on originally to create the logo and the first piece of promotional artwork for the film back in 2009 when they announced the film. Then a few months later, after the film had been in pre-production, I got a call from Zack to see if I wanted to take a shot at designing the katana that the main character, Babydoll, uses in her action scenes. I had never designed weapons before but there was NO way I was going to turn it down. So I agreed to take a 'stab' at it. Then once post-production started I got called back in to help create a lot of new illustrated marketing materials for the film to showcase at the San Diego Comic Con in 2010, which only continued the surreal experience."

**Alex Pardee** (born February 5, 1976) is an American freelance illustrator, designer, and director. He did concept and promotional art for *Sucker Punch*.

## Biography

Alex Pardee was born on February 5, 1976, in Antioch, California, and currently lives in the San Francisco Bay area.

The grotesque images of the Garbage Pail Kids trading cards and *Tales From the Crypt* comic books inspired a love of drawing and painting in young Alex, who began sketching and painting graffiti on walls. He later began photocopying collections of his sketches and creating homemade "books," which he distributed around the Bay area in public waiting rooms, often secreting them between the pages of tattoo and porn magazines.

In 1999, some artist friends convinced Alex to have his crude collections printed professionally, and after scraping together enough cash, he published *My Book of Colors*.

Pardee has exhibited in galleries worldwide and has directed numerous music as well animation and film projects. He has collaborated with bands such as The Used, In Flames, and hip-hop artist Cage; and worked with companies such as Warner Bros., Reprise Records, Freeze Management, Hurley International, KidRobot, Twenty Twenty Skateboards, and more.

Pardee is a pioneer in what he calls trans-media artistry.

Nicole

> "Come on, boy. Where'd you go, honey? Oh, there you are. Come on. There's my boy. Don't leave me again, okay? Ever, ever."

> Nicole, *Dawn of the Dead*

**Nicole** is a character from *Dawn of the Dead*. She's introduced when the Fort Pastor survivors arrive at Crossroads Mall, then remains with the mall survivors through to the end of the movie, being one of the few characters to survive.

## Biography

At some point before joining the Crossroads Mall survivors, Nicole lost her mother and her two brothers, left only with her zombie-bitten father, Frank. She lost him not long after finding refuge in the mall. She remained in the small community and began a flirtacious relationship with Terry, one of the previous security guards for the mall. When part of the group found a dog, she named him Chips and took him in.

The others eventually found a use for Chips, sending him across the zombie-filled parking lot to Andy's Gun Works to bring Andy some food, and even though zombies showed no interest in attacking him, Nicole feared for his safety, got in Norma's truck, and drove to the gun store to rescue him. She hid in a closet while some of the other survivors ventured out to bring her back to the mall. Because of her stunt, zombies were able to start breaking into the mall, forcing the escape plan to move up. Nicole boarded the Crossroads Mall shuttles with the group and they drove to Balmy Beach Marina. Some members of the group were lost along the way, but Nicole, Terry, and Chips were among those able to board a boat to what they hoped would be safety.

## Relationships

**Frank**: Frank was Nicole's father and the last member of her family she had to lose, which she unfortunately had to do after he succumbed to his zombie bite.

**Terry**: In their new lives as zombie survivors, Nicole and Terry began a flirtatious relationship that continued through their escape from the mall.

**Chips**: Nicole took an immediate liking to Chips, the dog the group found in the parking structure of the mall. She named him and took care of him, then risked her life to save him when she thought he was in danger.

> Andre, *Dawn of the Dead*

**Andre** is one of the leading characters of *Dawn of the Dead*. His primary goal is to protect his wife and unborn child, which causes him to lose a bit of his mind when they both become infected. He doesn't survive the movie.

## Biography

Not much is known about Andre's life before the zombie outbreak, but when it hit, he and his wife, Luda, joined a small group of survivors and headed to Crossroads Mall for safety. Andre briefly left Luda in the care of Kenneth Hall while he checked out the lower entrance to the mall and she was attacked by a zombie, receiving a small wound.

As the group settled into the mall and the survivors were forced to put down two infected people, Andre came to understand that Luda's bite was likely also infected with the incurable ailment, and he receded with her into the baby store, Carousel. He repeatedly refused medical examinations and other help for Luda to hide her bite and stopped participating in the group's activities.

Due to the fall of society the power eventually went out, which coincided with Luda going into labor. Andre tied her down as her infection peaked, and she died in childbirth. He delivered their undead daughter posthumously and Norma came in to check on them. Andre was initially happy to share the moment of his daughter's birth, but Norma's fear of Luda, seeing that she had turned, caused her to shoot her. Andre responded in kind, and Norma shot him as well. They both lost their lives.

## Equipment

* **Beretta Inox**: Andre's personal weapon, which was the only one he used in *Dawn of the Dead*, was a Beretta Inox.

## Relationships

**Luda**: Andre's pregnant wife. His only goal in life was bringing their baby into the world and giving her everything he never had.

**Norma**: Andre's killer. The two shot each other after Norma killed the undead Luda.

**Kenneth Hall**: Initially shooting at Kenneth, thinking him a zombie, Andre came to seek Kenneth's respect, or at least his understanding.

**Amy Adams** (born 20 August 1974) is an American actress who starred alongside Henry Cavill's Superman in *Man of Steel*, *Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice*, *Justice League*, and *Zack Snyder's Justice League* as his love interest and partner in heroics, Lois Lane.

Adams was keen to explore Zack Snyder's concept for a bodybuilder film in which she'd play the protagonist. Her character would be a housewife who becomes interested in bodybuilding, taking it too far for her family and creating issues in her life. At the moment this project is not in development.
