Zack Snyder Directs Netflix LAPD Action Thriller

Zack Snyder is set to direct an untitled action film focused on an elite LAPD unit, co-written with his frequent collaborator Kurt Johnstad. The project, produced through Snyder's Stone Quarry banner alongside his wife Deborah Snyder and Wesley Coller, is described as a high-stakes thriller that explores the collision of law and morality. This marks a shift for Snyder, moving away from his typical fantasy elements and towards a more grounded narrative. The film is in early development at Netflix and follows Snyder's recent work on the two-part sci-fi saga, Rebel Moon. Despite past successes, Rebel Moon did not perform as expected critically or commercially, leading to heightened interest in this new direction. Snyder emphasized his excitement in collaborating with Netflix's Dan Lin to create a compelling story set within the complex landscape of the LAPD.
