Dillahunt mentioned that he knows he must keep this so vague. He asserted that he does not know when the film will be coming out but hinted that it would next year only.

Garret Dillahunt disclosed that Army of the Dead makers strayed away from a lot of normal zombie canon, that for some reason, everyone adheres to. He said that it is like, ‘maybe they don’t have to be that way. What if they were this way?’ and called it a nice wrinkle. The actor assured that the zombies are scary, and they are really fast.
