This year’s first major Hollywood release featuring musician Allison Crowe, “Zack Snyder’s Justice League”, is an epic, mythic, adventure delivering hope and inspiration. In the #SnyderCut, we find redemption and salvation in unity. Allison’s elegiac performance of Leonard Cohen’s “Hallelujah” closes the film #ForAutumn. (ZSJL is playing on Crave in Canada, HBO Max in America, and other platforms worldwide.)
Next up, again from Director Zack Snyder (also in roles as Writer, Producer & Director of Photography), and The Stone Quarry creative team/family is “Army of the Dead”. In select theaters now, (opening globally on Netflix May 21st), this zombie heist film is "hair-raising, heart-stopping and hilarious throughout" says film critic Dana Barbuto – who describes the movie’s apocalyptic opening:
"Then, with tongue firmly planted in cheek, Snyder crafts a deliciously inspired 15-minute no-holds barred opening-credits sequence to set up the present-day scenario. It plays out over a Richard Cheese and Alison Crowe cover of ’Viva Las Vegas’ - and it is pure carnage and camp – definitely not for the squeamish. Swarms of zombies done up as sequined showgirls, stiletto-heeled strippers, Elvis impersonators, even a tiger straight out of “Siegfried & Roy,” storm the Strip, devouring anyone in their path. The main characters are introduced, shown in battle with lots of blood and zombie goo oozing in slow-motion close-up as they blow away the invading undead with saws, rifles and knives to the skull. Ah, what happens in Vegas, slays in Vegas."
“Man”, notes Allison. “14 year old band and theatre kid me – who rented 5 movies 5 days 5 dollars of horror movies and always felt super weird & sad, would be so stoked if she knew the cool things she’d get to do and see one day. I had no idea. 39 year old me is feeling so grateful.”
