Ahead of Thursday's trailer, a new behind-the-scenes photo from Zack Snyder's Army of the Dead provides a first look at one of the zombie heist movie's walking dead as it attacks Dave Bautista's character.

Yesterday's revealing Vanity Fair article mainly focused on Zack Snyder's director's cut of Justice League, but it also touched on the filmmaker's upcoming Netflix horror flick, Army of the Dead.

Up until now, all promotional material for the Netflix release has focused on the team of mercenaries that'll be braving an undead-infested Vegas, but this new behind-the-scenes shot gives us a first glimpse of one of the zombies as it leaps on top of Dave Bautista's character.

It looks like these brain-eaters will move faster than the shuffling creatures from Romero's movies and AMC's The Walking Dead.

Army of the Dead marks Snyder's return to the genre after his well-received remake of George Romero's classic Dawn of the Dead. There's been some speculation that AOTD could be a direct sequel, since Snyder has previously referred to it as a "spiritual successor" to his 2006 film.

There is also an anime prequel in the works that'll focus on Dave Bautista's character, Scott Ward, and the events surrounding the zombie outbreak.

The first trailer for Army of the Dead will be with us this Thursday, and the movie is set to premiere on Netflix on May 21.

Gotta say, I'm actually kinda looking forward to this. Strikes me as the right kind of project for Snyder's style where his style can actually work

This movie could be cool. Premise lends itself to some inventive moments

Now THIS is the genre of films I want to see Snyder make. I’d love to see Snyder take a shot at a full blown horror film.

That’s cool, I’m hoping they are running zombies. Been a while since we got a decent fast zombie movie

@Waddles - I can enjoy a good shambler flick but ever since seeing 28 Days Later I’ve always preferred that it’s far more engaging to me

Not a fan of CBM Snyder, but Zombie Snyder has my full and utmost faith.

@ICStoopedPeople - He's made good movies. Dawn of the Dead. 300. Watchmen. Sucker Punch sucked, but it was beautiful.

DC just wasn't for him. Unfortunately he was given the reigns to build it all, so instead of giving him one movie to screw up, it all snowballed into a series of bad movies.

I'll enjoy it, even if others do and don't. No biggie. We all got different tastes.

Looks very Night of the Living Dead inspired as opposed to the flesh pealing skeletal look we're more used to nowadays. I like it.

Definitely going to watch this. It has a fun cast and a semi-interesting take on the zombie genre. And it'll be good to see Snyder do something that isn't DC again. This should be more his thing.

For any objective Snyder Fans:

Is Dawn of the Dead good? I hear great things about it all the time
