There was more to it than just the song's title

Before he made his name as a director of huge budget comic book and graphic novel adaptations, Zack Snyder's first ever movie was a risky remake of a beloved zombie classic.However, 2004's Dawn of the Dead proved to be a massive critical and commercial success, pumping new blood into the dead horror subgenre.

Ahead of the release of the movie, we were lucky enough to chat to Zack - and many of the movie's stars, and all of this interviews will be arriving onArmy of the Dead also sees Snyder's passion for using popular songs in unique settings in his movies, from Johnny Cash's 'The Man Comes Around' in Dawn of the Dead to Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds' 'There Is A Kingdom' in his extended cut of Justice League.

That carries over into his new movie, which features none other than The Cranberries' famous hit song 'Zombie'. Aside from the obvious titular reasons, we wanted to know what it was about this song that made Snyder put it in his movie. Synder told us:"Yeah, I did it because it was literally the first song that I had on my playlist when I was writing the script. I would just listen to it and I just felt like because the movie is self aware and ironic and it kind of understands what it is, I really love that song because of its politics and its importance.
