Diehard cinephiles might already be in the know that after the streaming success of his last Netflix film ‘Army of the Dead’, Zack Snyder is already geared up for his next directorial film titled ‘Rebel Moon’. The script of the epic science fiction fantasy film has been written by Zack Snyder himself along with Shay Hatten (Army of the Dead) and Kurt Johnstad (300). ‘Rebel Moon’ is currently being planned as a two-part movie.
In an important update related to the film’s casting, ‘Rebel Moon’ has reportedly (via THR) added four more cast members namely Cary Elwes, Corey Stoll, Michiel Huisman, and Alfonso Herrera.
Corey Stoll is quite popular for his role in the Netflix political thriller show ‘House of Cards’ starring Kevin Spacey and Robin Wright. Besides, he has also acted in films such as ‘Midnight in Paris’ and Steven Spielberg’s ‘West Side Story’, amongst others.
While Cary Elwes is an English actor whose acting portfolio comprises many well-known movies like ‘The Princess Bride’, ‘Saw’, ‘Glory’, ‘The Jungle Book’, ‘Liar Liar’ besides several television shows including ‘Stranger Things’ and ‘The Marvellous Mrs. Maisel’.
Inspired by Star Wars and Akira Kurosawa’s films, ‘Rebel Moon’ is being described as a grand science fiction adventure that revolves around a far-off peaceful colony bordering the galaxy. The colony is endangered by the presence of a tyrannical regent named Balisarius. As a result, the residents are forced to send a young woman (played by Sofia Boutella) on a mission in order to find warriors from nearby planets to defend themselves.
Production for the big-ticket Netflix film ‘Rebel Moon’ is slated to commence this month itself and is expected to conclude until November 2022. Zack Snyder is busy these days with the ‘Army of the Dead’ franchise. He has co-directed the upcoming Netflix anime-style series ‘Army of the Dead: Lost Vegas’. And he is also set to direct the ‘Army of the Dead’ sequel ‘Planet of the Dead’. Stay tuned to Binged for the latest updates on Zack Snyder’s Netflix film ‘Rebel Moon’.
