Hey Everyone,
Paul here…
I make no bones about it, I’m a Zack Snyder fan. I know he’s a polarizing filmmaker, but win or lose, he really swings for the fences. I love his DC trilogy of Man of Steel, Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice (Ultimate Edition), and Zack Snyder’s Justice League. It feels like Snyder’s personal, self contained DC Universe, that tells it’s own cool (if incomplete) story across the three films.
After playing around with Superheroes for nearly a decade, Zack Snyder has moved on to a new genre, creating his own sci-fi epic space opera, with Rebel Moon. As part of Snyder’s ongoing partnership with Netflix, Rebel Moon will be released exclusively on the streaming giant. Check out the full trailer right here:
Say what you want about Zack Snyder, but you gotta admit this looks absolutely gorgeous. His films have an incredible visual flair, that never fails to impress. I know some moviegoers think he’s all style and no substance or that this is basically Zack Snyder‘s Star Wars, and I totally understand those criticisms. Zack Snyder isn’t for everyone.
Personally, while I acknowledge his flaws as a filmmaker, I really like his movies. Some, I even flat out love. So I’m extremely excited for Rebel Moon. I dug the hell out of this trailer. I just love movies like this, it’s right up my alley and I think it looks like a blast.
Here’s the movie’s official synopsis:
From Zack Snyder, the filmmaker behind 300, Man of Steel, and Army of the Dead, comes REBEL MOON, an epic science-fantasy event decades in the making. When a peaceful colony on the edge of a galaxy finds itself threatened by the armies of a tyrannical ruling force, Kora (Sofia 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.
I really dig the casting as well. There are a few faces you probably recognize, but they’re certainly aren’t any “big names”. However, there are some fan favorites in there. Here’s a look at most of the main cast…
Rebel Moon is this month’s cover story for my personal favorite movie periodical, Empire Magazine.
