THE MONSTER SQUAD
Meet the cast of Army Of The Dead
ELLA PURNELL IS KATE WARD
Why does Kate join this mission?
Kate is Scott’s daughter and she’s a tough cookie. She’s a volunteer at the quarantine centres – god, how weird I’m living this right now! [At the time of our interview, Ella was quarantining in Vancouver Airport.] She has this philanthropic streak and a kind heart and really that’s her motivation to go in. She doesn’t care about the money, she hates the fighting, she hates the guns. It’s not her world. But she’s going in to save someone that she loves. And that’s what amps the stakes up for her. If everyone else leaves without the money, they’ve failed a mission. If she leaves without her friend, it’s literally a matter of life or death.
