11 Best New Movies on Netflix: June 2024's Freshest Films to Watch
The official trailer for Zack Snyder’s Army Of The Dead just dropped, and there’s plenty to talk about. But right now, we’re all focused on Tig Notaro.
Notaro didn’t appear in the first teaser released in February, but in the official trailer, we saw Dave Bautista as a short-order cook enlisting the stand-up comedian alongside Omari Hardwick, Ana de la Reguera, Ella Purnell, Theo Rossi, Matthias Schweighöfer, Nora Arnezeder, Raúl Castillo, Huma Qureshi and Garret Dillahunt for a $200 million Las Vegas casino heist — during a zombie outbreak. All set to the tune of the late great Kenny Rogers hit, “The Gambler.”
Chris D’Elia was in the movie, too, back when it filmed in the summer of 2019 on location in California, New Mexico, and inside a shuttered Atlantic City casino. Notaro, 50, replaced D’Elia in August 2020, following multiple allegations of sexual misconduct (including with minors) came out against the 41-year-old D’Elia.
Snyder’s production inserted Notaro into the footage through a combination of reshooting scenes and/or digitally inserting her into existing scenes. But Snyder knows a lot about fixing films in post, as he just went through that whole process on his four-hour cut of Justice League!
Such as this now-viral image, proudly shared by Netflix on Twitter, vaulting Notaro into the top of trending topics today.
Army of the Dead will be released May 21 on Netflix and May 14 in select theaters.
