New Poster and Trailer Date of Rebel Moon
Inspired by Akira Kurosawa’s Star Wars and Seven Samurai, Rebel Moon follows rebel soldier Kora (Sofia Boutella). Kora has founded a community on Veldt: a peaceful agrarian colony located on a farming moon on the edge of the galaxy. Veldt is under threat by the Imperium, a cruel interstellar royal empire determined to take over the galaxy.
“I have a love of ‘putting-the-team-together’ movies … I loved when I was growing up my dad [would show me] The Dirty Dozen and The Magnificent Seven. Even before I saw Seven Samurai, I saw The Magnificent Seven. So I’ve always loved this idea of these underdog teams going against impossible odds,” Snyder told Netflix’s Tudum.
“Even in college, when they would ask us what kind of a movie we were going to make when we got out of school, I said, ‘I’m going to make a space team-building underdog movie.’ And so it went on to the back burner for a long time. It saw light briefly as a [potential] Star Wars movie and then after Army of the Dead, it just felt like, during the pandemic, it really gestated into a real movie. While Army of the Dead was probably still in post, I was pitching it to Netflix as a follow-up, what I wanted to do next.”
Zack Snyder’s Rebel Moon — Part One: A Child of Fire premieres December 22 on Netflix, followed by Rebel Moon: Part Two — The Scargiver on April 19, 2024.
