After the streaming success of last year’s zombie heist flick ‘Army of the Dead’, Zack Snyder is now geared up for the release of his next Netflix film ‘Rebel Moon’. The ‘Justice League’ helmer has informed that ‘Rebel Moon’ has officially wrapped filming, which commenced earlier this year in April. Before its Netflix premiere, ‘Rebel Moon’ will also have a limited theatrical release like Rian Johnson’s ‘Knives Out’ sequel.
Inspired by Star Wars and Akira Kurosawa’s films, ‘Rebel Moon’ is 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. The movie also features Anthony Hopkins, Charlie Hunnam, and Ray Fisher, amongst other cast members.
Interestingly, a follow-up film titled ‘Rebel Moon Part Two’ was ostensibly shot alongside ‘Rebel Moon’. Earlier this year, it was revealed that ‘Rebel Moon’ is supposed to be a two-part film.
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). Besides ‘Rebel Moon’, Zack Snyder has also been busy with the ‘Army of the Dead’ franchise. He has co-directed the upcoming Netflix anime-style series ‘Army of the Dead: Lost Vegas’ and is also set to direct the ‘Army of the Dead’ sequel ‘Planet of the Dead’.
