Zack Snyder Is Game For An ARMY OF THE DEAD Sequel As Netflix Teases News This June

@Darkknight2149 -

"Sorry, but James Gunn didn't write it."

o.O

"He wrote the first draft"

Okay.

"The subsequent drafts were from Michael Tolkin and Scott Frank (who went uncredited due to a legal technicality), and many of the final story decisions were made by Zack Snyder."

Got a source for that? Wiki states this

*In writing the script, Gunn took the original's basic premise of a group of lone survivors taking refuge in a mall during the zombie apocalypse and then updated it with a storyline that is more action-oriented, putting the characters in certain scenarios that would force them to evacuate the mall. Gunn's script was given uncredited rewrites by Michael Tolkin and Scott Frank; co-producer Richard P. Rubinstein said Tolkin further developed the characters while Frank provided some of the bigger, upbeat action scenes. Gunn revealed he had faced internet backlash over the film due to his past screenwriting credits on Scooby-Doo (2002) and Scooby-Doo 2: Monsters Unleashed (2004), believing him to be unqualified for the job. However, film critic Harry Knowles, initially an opponent of the remake, eventually got a hold of Gunn's script and gave it a glowing response on his website Ain't It Cool News, which Gunn said had helped eliminate doubts cast upon him by fans of the original.*

Doesn't say anything about Gunn leaving. It does say his script was rewritten (which happens quite often for any film) and that it was loved. Fails to mention any Zach rewrites.

"People who hate Snyder like to pin all the credit on James Gunn for personal reasons, but it wasn't his movie. He came up with the general premise, but his version had more characters in the mall, less action, and zombies that were supernatural similar to vampires."

I mean I don't have a problem if he did have a part in writing it, although I don't see any mention of that nor the original vampire like supernatural script you mentioned. That being said if the original premise was that it sounds pretty similar to what he did in this movie which funilly enough was probably the aspect I liked the most with the Alphas essentially making thrall zombies. So if that is the case you're kind of giving that credit to James Gunn in retrospect since according to you he wanted to make them more like vampires. XD

Either way even if it wasn't Gunn's handiwork (which it is at least in part since he wrote the screenplay and is the credited writer) it sounds like the other two writers helped to bring it to life too. Maybe Snyder could have gotten them for this movie as well because... it sure needed the help.
