Ana de La Reguera is the hot mexican chick from EastBound and Down. Niice.
So how did Zack Snyder’s Army of the Dead come together, and can you say a little bit about your character?
I’ve been talking to Zack Snyder for years now; we’ve been trying to do a project together. I met Zack years ago and always loved him. I had an instant connection with this guy. He’s my type of director. He’s kind of a man’s man; he likes to train a lot and is all tatted up. We just kind of understand each other.
We’d been talking about this other project, which is a really great acting role for me. It’s a passion project for him, but for one reason or another, we just couldn’t get it going. When he got a hold of Army of the Dead, he actually wrote a smaller part for me in there. As he was gearing up for casting, he started thinking about who his lead would be, and he told me this personally, “One day, it just clicked: God, Dave is not that part; Dave is my lead.” So, he called me and asked me if I would do it; I said, “Hell yeah. I’d be happy to do it.” I really just want to work with Zack.
Awesome, loved him since The Last Samurai
So I guess he took all that talk about how he would be better as a cinematographer than a director to heart and decided to do both for this movie.
The look of his movies is unique because he himself storyboards every frame alongside the development of the script. He shoots with one camera so he doesn't lose visual focus. And he is really involved with the color grading process. Meaning, he has a vision that only he can execute.
Asking him to be a cinematographer for someones else creative choices during active production is pointless. What will he do? Light a scene? That's what people think that makes him unique as a filmmaker? His Lighting?
