Zack Snyder promotes ‘Army of the Dead’ Netflix movie with ‘I vote Democrat!’

Zack Snyder wants his audience to rest assured that he’s “a pretty liberal guy” while watching “Army of the Dead” or his other movies.

The Hollywood director recently used an interview promoting his Netflix project that he doesn’t have a “right-wing” bone in his body.

Mr. Snyder’s statements came during an interview with Catherine Shoard for the Guardian, a left-wing British newspaper.

“A lot of people see a right-wing political undercurrent in some of your films,” Ms. Shoard informed the director. “Where do you stand politically and has that changed over the years?”

The writer then added: “Don’t evade the question. Love you!”

“I vote Democrat!” Mr. Snyder exclaimed. “I’m a true lover of individual rights. I’ve always been a super-strong advocate of women’s rights and a woman’s right to choose, and I’ve always been surrounded by powerful women … I would say I’m a pretty liberal guy … I don’t have a right-wing political agenda. People see what they want to see.”

The two then covered the COVID-19 pandemic and its parallels with “Army of the Dead.”

Ms. Shoard positively likened vaccinated individuals with zombies from the film that “organize” and “are more intelligent than you think.”

“Absolutely!” the director responded. “I love that superimposition. You could probably do the exact opposite argument if you wanted. It just depends which side is more dominant in your mind …  I hope the vaccinated people are winning. I wanted to be vaccinated immediately.”

“I tell friends of mine living abroad: just come here, you get vaccinated immediately. They don’t care. They’ll vaccinate anybody. You don’t need ID. They’ll vaccinate my dog,” Mr. Snyder said.

Mr. Synder concluded the interview by saying he hopes his “legacy” will be one associated with “smart” movies.

“The challenge is people having preconceived ideas about genre movies,” he said “They say: ’Oh, I’m not really into zombie movies.’ I go, ’You should check it out! Guys, there’s a lot of fun to be had!’ People don’t expect genre movies to be smart. I hope we could make a dent in that a little bit.”
