Los Angeles: Hollywood filmmaker Zack Snyder is once again collaborating with streamer Netflix for a feature film.

According to entertainment news outlet Variety, Snyder is set to direct an action film, centred on the Los Angeles Police Department.

The untitled project, which is in early development, will see Snyder co-writing the script with longtime collaborator Kurt Johnstad, known for his work on 300 and Atomic Blonde.

The film is produced by Deborah Snyder, Zack Snyder, and Wesley Coller under their production banner, Stone Quarry.
