Zack Snyder Reteams with Netflix for His Next Movie

Zack Snyder is set to direct a new movie for Netflix, centered around the Los Angeles Police Department. 

He is co-writing the script for the currently untitled action movie with frequent collaborator Kurt Johnstad (300, Atomic Blonde).

The project, which is in early development at the giant streamer, is produced by Deborah Snyder, Zack Snyder and Wesley Coller for Stone Quarry.

The film’s official synopsis reads: “In the high-stakes world of life and death, an elite LAPD unit are relentlessly confronted with the unforgiving collision of law and morality,k” .

“Years ago, Dan Lin and I had a conversation about our shared interest in telling a compelling and visceral character-driven story set within the intense, complex and captivating landscape of the LAPD,” Snyder said in a statement. “It’s a conversation that has stuck with me. So, as you would expect, I’m very excited to now have the opportunity to partner with Dan, along with the rest of my amazing partners at Netflix, in developing this story.”

The project marks the latest feature to fall under the creative partnership between Stone Quarry and Netflix, after the recent duology of “Rebel Moon – Part One: A Child of Fire” and “Rebel Moon – Part Two: The Scargiver.” 

Stone Quarry also produced Snyder’s “Army of the Dead” and its spinoff “Army of Thieves” for Netflix. The animated series “Twilight of the Gods” released in September 2024.

While “Rebel Moon” was received poorly by critics, Snyder didn’t seem to take the negativity to heart. “I don’t really have a rebuttal to the reviews,” he said in March. “For whatever reason, the reaction to my movies is very polarizing, and it always has been. The movie, it doesn’t seem like there’s that much in it that would warrant such visceral responses.”
