Early career

Director Zack Snyder was featured in British Communication Arts magazine as one of the country’s most talented commercial directors. Best known for his cinematic wide screen shooting style, Zack has been compared to a young David Lean. Although humbled by the comparison, he confesses that “the similarities are inevitable.”

Feature films

Dawn of the Dead

Main article: Dawn of the Dead (2004 film)

Snyder made the transition to feature films with the 2004 film Dawn of the Dead, which was a remake of George Romero's famous zombie film Dawn of the Dead. Despite mixed response from both critics and fans of the original film, it was commercially successful and became one of the top-grossing zombie films of all time.

300

Main article: 300 (film)

His next film was an adaptation of Frank Miller's graphic novel 300 and was released in March 2007. Reviews of the film were mixed with some critics praising its action and visual style and others deriding it. According to the New York Times, critics were divided on the merits of Mr. Snyder’s adaptation of Frank Miller and Lynn Varley’s graphic novel about the Spartans’ stand against the Persians at Thermopylae, which A.O. Scott’s review described as “about as violent as Apocalypto and twice as stupid.” (An admiring Richard Roeper, of the Chicago Sun-Times, called it “gorgeous to behold.”) The film has generated controversy with some accusing it of racism, especially in Europe. Its portrayal of Persians angered Iranians, with official condemnation from the government of Iran. The film grossed more than $70 million in its opening weekend in the US (March 9-11, 2007), and set an all-time record for a film released in the month of March. It also became the third largest opening for a film with an "R" rating behind only The Passion of the Christ ($83.8 million) and The Matrix Reloaded ($91.8 million).

Watchmen

Main article: Watchmen (film)

Snyder is following 300 up with the big screen adaptation of Alan Moore's graphic novel Watchmen for Warner Bros. Production began in Summer 2007 and is slated to be released March 6th, 2009. [1]

Guardians of Ga'Hoole

In April, 2008, it was announced that Snyder would be directing a computer animated version of the children's book series Guardians of Ga'Hoole. [2]
