Zack Snyder is very well known for making epics. There is a reason his fans are still not over the brilliance of Justice League.
Well, after quite some time, Zack Snyder is ready with another project, this time genuinely for Netflix. The revered filmmaker has released the trailer of Rebel Moon Part 1 called “Rebel Moon: A Child Of Fire”.
The synopsis of the film says: “When a peaceful colony on the edge of a galaxy finds itself threatened by the armies of a tyrannical ruling force, Kora (Boutella), a mysterious stranger living among the villagers, becomes their best hope for survival. Tasked with finding trained fighters who will unite with her in making an impossible stand against the Mother World, Kora assembles a small band of warriors — outsiders, insurgents, peasants, and orphans of war from different worlds who share a common need for redemption and revenge. As the shadow of an entire Realm bears down on the unlikeliest of moons, a battle over the fate of a galaxy is waged, and in the process, a new army of heroes is formed.”
The cast includes Sofia Boutella, Fra Free, Charlie Hunnam, Djimon Hounsou, Ray Fisher, Anthony Hopkins, Ed Skrein, and more.
It is confusing what must be said about the trailer. It is haunting as well as beautiful. Perhaps “hauntingly beautiful” appears to be the best adjective. The scale, the BGM, the visuals, and everything are just too grand for just another Netflix film.
We wish the film was also released in the theaters but looks like Netflix will follow their strategy of limited theatrical release only.
To Netflix and the world, “an epic is loading”.
