Trivia / Army of Thieves

• Awesome, Dear Boy: Hans Zimmer himself asked longtime collaborators of his Zack and Deborah Snyder if he could compose the score as he liked the concept and that it's partly set in his native Germany with a German protagonist, and they gladly accepted.
• California Doubling: The scenes set in Munich were actually filmed in Prague at the same time as the Prague-set ones.
• Directed by Cast Member: Matthias Schweighöfer directed and stars in the film.
• Inspiration for the Work: Producers Zack and Deborah Snyder described the film as "The Italian Job in a world where zombies exist".
• International Coproduction: The film is a German-American coproduction.
• Irony as She Is Cast: In the film, Korina proposes Sebastian/Dieter to make out during the team's home party, but he's too busy looking at Gwendoline and nothing romantic ever happens between them as a result. In Real Life, Matthias Schweighöfer and Korina's actress Ruby O. Fee started a Romance on the Set.
• Playing Against Type: Jonathan Cohen is known in France as a comedian and has played mostly in comedic films and series. The role of Agent Delacroix is quite far from comedic.

• Refitted for Sequel: There are unused takes of Dieter's first scene from Army of the Dead at the end, with Dave Bautista and Ana de la Reguera.
