ACTION: ‘ARMY OF THE DEAD’ TRAILER BRINGS FORMER AC CASINOS BACK TO LIFE from PlayNJ's David Danzis

An army of the dead is bringing Atlantic City back to life on the big screen.

Well … sort of. OK, not really.

But parts of AC were used as filming sets for Zack Synder’s straight-to-Netflix movie Army of the Dead. A trailer for the $90-million movie surfaced last week.

However, fans will have to wait until May 21 to see the entire Army of the Dead film.

The casino heist film is set in Las Vegas during a zombie outbreak. Mock gambling floors were staged at the Showboat Hotel Atlantic City and the former Atlantic Club Casino Hotel.

The movie stars Dave Bautista, Ella Purnell, Ana de la Reguera, Theo Rossi, Huma Qureshi, Omari Hardwick, and Tig Notaro.

Synder has directed multiple Hollywood blockbusters, including 300, Watchmen, and Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. He made his directorial debut in 2004 with a remake of the 1970’s horror classic Dawn of the Dead.
