Zack Snyder has officially found his next project, as the director is getting to work on a project that is reported as a passion project of his.
What is Zack Snyder’s next movie about?
According to a new report from Deadline, Snyder will direct The Last Photograph, a drama that is described as his “long-awaited passion project.” Snyder will direct the project from a screenplay written by Kurt Johnstad, who has worked with Snyder previously on 300 and both Rebel Moon films. Snyder will have a “story by” credit, as well.
The film will follow the story of an ex-DEA operative who returns to South America to try and find his missing niece. “He enlists the help of a war photographer, and the pair journeys into the unknown. Enlisting the help of a washed-up junkie war photographer, the only person to have seen the face of the killers, he sets out, determined to find the children and the truth, but soon learns he must also face the ghosts of his past,” reads the logline. “Their journey into the unknown takes them farther and farther away from civilization, bringing into question everything they believe, while slowly eroding the distinction between real and surreal.”
Deadline’s report notes that Rebel Moon stars Stuart Martin and Fra Fee will star in the film. The report also mentions that Snyder recently secured financing for the film, and that he chose Martin and Fee, in part, due to the “strong bond” the trio had while working on Rebel Moon.
“The idea of taking camera in hand and simply making a movie in an intimate way is very appealing to me,” said Snyder on his next movie. “The Last Photograph is a meditation of life and death, embodying some of the trials that I have experienced in my own life and the exploration of those ideas through image making.”
The Last Photograph is set to begin production this month, with filming taking place later in the year in Iceland, Colombia, and Los Angeles. Snyder, Deborah Snyder, Wesley Coller, Gianni Nunnari, and Alisha Stickney are all producers on the film.
While it’s unclear what the future holds for the Rebel Moon franchise, Snyder is said to be focusing on “another large production” after The Last Photograph. It’s unclear whether that’s an entirely new project or related to one of his several others, though.
