Despite filming having wrapped late last year, The Hollywood Reporter has learned that Netflix's upcoming zombie movie Army of the Dead has added a key new cast member in comedienne Tig Notaro (One Mississippi; Instant Family; Star Trek: Discovery) to replace the disgraced Chris D'Elia (Undateable; You), who was accused of sexually harassing underage girls in June.

While the Zack Snyder-directed film was already deep into post-production, having continued work through the global production shut down caused by the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, it will now undergo a relatively quick series of reshoots to add Notaro to the film. Snyder will use a variety of filmmaking techniques to add her into the film, from reshooting entire scenes with Notaro working opposite an acting partner to utilizing green screen and advanced CG technology to blend her in seamlessy. 

Army of the Dead takes place in a post-apocalyptic world following a massive zombie outbreak, with the plot following a group of mercenaries who take the ultimate gamble, venturing into the quarantine zone to pull off the greatest heist ever attempted.

Dave Bautista (Guardians of the Galaxy; Avengers: Endgame) is the topliner with a supporting cast that features Ella Purnell (Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children; Never Let Me Go), Ana de la Reguera (Nacho Libre; Narcos), Garret Dillahunt (Deadwood; The Mindy Project), Raúl Castillo (Knives Out; We the Animals), Omari Hardwick (Kick-Ass; Power), Nora Arnezeder (Maniac; Safe House), Matthias Schweighöfer (Valkyrie; You Are Wanted), Samantha Win (Wonder Woman; Arrow), Theo Rossi (Marvel's Luke Cage; Sons of Anarchy), Huma Qureshi (Jolly LLB 2; Gangs of Wasseypur), Hiroyuki Sanada (The Wolverine; Avengers: Endgame), Rich Cetrone (Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice; Man of Steel), Michael Cassidy (Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice; Men at Work), Chelsea Edmundson (Mightnight, Texas; Thunder Road), Steve Corona (The Lone Ranger; Breaking Bad), and John Flanagan (Jurassic World: Dominion; Captain America: Civil War).

A release date has yet-to-be set, but it appears on track for a 2021 debut.

She’s undeniably funnier than Chris D’elia.

Is anyone even remotely surprised that he turned out to be a complete creep?

Hopefully its good. His version of Dawn Of The Dead is one of his better films. Snyder either needs to stick to lessor known heroes like thw Question or even The Punisher or Sentry. Those fit his style. He seriously does not understand the main heroes of the DC universe.

This will be his second original project (as original as you can get with the basic idea of Zombies), hopefully its better than that crap Sucker Punch

@dracula - u want ur heros to be the same all the time or what

@imnotadoor - no but they do need to remain faithful to the core of their character, for Batman that is being a detective, not killing and actually being smart. Affleck’s Batman was just the punisher in the batsuit. A waste of a good actor

@dracula - That’s the problem with social media that’s been compounded by Covid and everyone staying home w/ even more time on their hands.

1500 Americans died in one day earlier this week. Who gives a shet about some no name actor who did or didn’t do something. There’s so many important things happening in the world, and like Cypher in the matrix, so many CHOOSE ignorance by distracting themselves w/ nonsense that ultimately isn’t important or won’t have an effect on their lives.

I hope all the twitter outrage ppl and all the SJW are registered to vote and actually do so in November. The younger democratic is INFAMOUS for not showing up when it counts.

They’ll march by the HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS, maybe MILLIONS for fun reform and police reform.. but then don’t VOTE?

What has a better chance of actually changing things? Protesting or voting? Protest your heart out, that’s not my gripe. I have an issue with all those who nitpick every aspect of everyone else as if they’ve NEVER made mistakes or bad decisions at ANY point in their ENTIRE lives!

What’s that saying about throwing rocks in a glass house?

Science + Politics = Politics

Get politics out of the covid response and we’d have better results. Prime example, the REST OF THE WORLD

Vlad this has nothing to do w/ your post, sorry for the hijack.

Rant over

@MuadDib - I don't think there are a huge number of people who protest and then don't vote. The ones that do are essentially showing up to protests because they like being part of a crowd (like a woman I saw Jordan Klepper interview at an anti-mask rally who was clearly just an anti-authoritarian burn-out with no clue what's actually going on).

But not pictured in the tens of thousands of activists is the hundreds of thousands of disaffected, clueless, bored, scared, depressed, despondent, impoverished, overworked, underpaid folks who may theoretically agree with the protesters but don't have the time, energy, personal liberty, ambition, or desire to become an activist. Or even the vote, sadly. And also not pictured are the people who (for a variety of reasons) vote the other way, often against their own interests.

Overall, I'm not disagreeing with you, of course.

@Spock0Clock - I’m not saying protesters don’t vote, but it wouldn’t surprise me if a “protester” type would vote for a Jill Stein or write someone in just bc the candidate is flawed in some way, as if humans aren’t flawed by nature. Those few thousand “protest votes” in 2016 put is where we are now.

That and it wouldn’t surprise me at all if a good 20-30% of protesters didn’t vote at all, maybe even higher. The younger the protester the less likely they are to vote. That’s just facts based on historical evidence.

Hopefully I’m proven wrong this year and Trumps meddling w/ the post office doesn’t have a catastrophic effect on the election. I wouldn’t be against it though. This guys a wanna be dictator.

The greatest test of the American experiment happens later this year.

I think I read it was either Chris or Garrett Dillahunt who were playing the pilot in this movie. If it was Chris and the character doesn't actually go in with the team, so he's not in majority of scenes with them, then obviously will be an easy fix.

If he is with the team then wonder how they'll fix that. Hopefully doesn't look chopped up with it all being reshoots.
