Las Vegas is fun. Heist movies are fun. Heist movies in last Vegas are fun. Dave Bautista is fun. Tig Notaro is fun.

Army of the Dead looks like a hell of a lot of fun, judging by this first full trailer .

The long-awaited flick from director Zack Snyder hits Netflix on May 21. And like any Snyder film (or #Snydercut of any Snyder film), there's been a fair bit of drama leading up to the release. Most notably in this case was the late replacement of Chris D'Elia after a series of accusations about his treatment of women. 

So Chris is out, and in comes Tig Notaro. The comedian has found quite a little niche on film and on TV, with bits on Star Trek: Discovery, Fresh Off the Boat, and Transparent. And that's without even getting into her stellar stand-up. Notaro came on board after shooting had finished, so re-shoots and some digital drop-ins were in order.

And now we get to have a movie. 

The gist of Army of the Dead: "Following a zombie outbreak in Las Vegas, a group of mercenaries take the ultimate gamble, venturing into the quarantine zone to pull off the greatest heist ever attempted."

That explains all the Kenny Rogers, then.
