‘Army Of The Dead’: Zack Snyder Replaces Chris D’Elia With Tig Notaro
By Ben Pearson/Aug. 14, 2020 12:30 pm EST
Snyder wrapped principal photography on the movie last year, but THR reports that “the movie will now undergo a quick round of reshoots to incorporate Notaro’s role. Due to actors being already dispersed post-filming and due to pandemic restrictions, the incorporation will be a combination of techniques, from actually reshooting scenes opposite an acting partner to using green screen and CG technology to blend her in.”
It’ll be interesting to see how noticeable this replacement will be in the final product. Despite this last-minute swap, this still isn’t the most high-profile case of Hollywood recasting a role after someone was “canceled.” That distinction still goes to Ridley Scott’s All the Money in the World, which swapped out the disgraced Kevin Spacey for Christopher Plummer just weeks before the film’s release.
Army of the Dead does not have a release date yet, but I wouldn’t be surprised to see it hit Netflix before the end of 2020.
