Zack Snyder (
"Rebel Moon",
"Man of Steel",
"300") is currently working on his most personal project yet. The filmmaker's long-awaited passion project
"The Last Photograph" started production in August, as soon as Snyder secured financing, and will shoot through November in Iceland, Colombia and Los Angeles.
The story follows an ex-DEA operative who must return to the mountains of South America in an effort to find his missing niece and nephew, following the brutal murders of their diplomat parents. 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. 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.
"Rebel Moon" actors
Stuart Martin and
Fra Fee are headlining the drama. Snyder directs the film from a screenplay by
Kurt Johnstad (
"300",
"Act of Valor"), with Snyder having a story-by credit.
Hans Zimmer, Steven Doar and
Omer Benyamin are handling the score.
Zack Snyder, Deborah Snyder and
Wesley Coller will produce through Stone Quarry and continue their creative partnership with
Gianni Nunnari who is producing through Hollywood Gang Productions along with co-producer
Alisha Stickney.
Here's what Snyder had to say about the project:
"The idea of taking camera in hand and simply making a movie in an intimate way is very appealing to me. 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."
Executive producers include Mediaset España, through its film production arm Telecinco Cinema,
William Doyle and Jaguar Bite. True North serves as the production service company in Iceland, while Jaguar Bite, run by
Juan Pablo Solano and
Simon Beltran, serves as the Colombian production service company.
The project has received approval to obtain the CINA incentive (Audiovisual Investment Certificate), granted by the Colombian government and administered by Proimágenes Colombia: a tax discount equivalent to 35% of the expenditure on audiovisual services in the country.
