Zack Snyder’s “Rebel Moon” Gets First Poster

Netflix has unveiled the first poster for acclaimed director Zack Snyder’s epic space opera “Rebel Moon”.

The poster features another look at Kora (Sofia Boutella), the new protagonist ready to liberate her home from an evil organization that wants to take their resources away from them.

A distant planet is suffering and there is only one young woman who can save them from the imminent danger that is coming their way.

“Rebel Moon” is a grand fantasy adventure that follows an enigmatic young woman called Kora, who is living in a peaceful colony on the outskirts of the galaxy. She is given the task of finding warriors who can fend off an impending invasion by the despotic Regent Balisarius.

The cast also includes Djimon Hounsou, Ed Skrein, Michiel Huisman, Doona Bae, Ray Fisher, with Charlie Hunnam and Anthony Hopkins as the voice of 'Jimmy'.

“Rebel Moon” was initially written as one movie, but Netflix became hesitant after Snyder delivered a 172-page draft. At that length the movie would’ve clocked around three hours.

Snyder first developed the project as a pitch for the “Star Wars” universe that pre-dated Disney’s 2012 acquisition of Lucasfilm. He refashioned it into an original property when talks with Lucasfilm didn’t advance.

He revealed at the start of 2023 that his space epic would be split into two movies. But Snyder is actually making four movies, sort of. In a Vanity Fair first look at “Rebel Moon”, Snyder announced that each “Rebel Moon” movie is getting two separate cuts. One cut is a movie that “anyone can enjoy and watch,” and one cut will be more explicit and strictly for adults.

The first “Rebel Moon” movie releases on Netflix on December 22. The streamer has not yet announced a release date for the second one, although Snyder noted, “It won’t be long after. Netflix can do things that a traditional studio can’t do as far as how close together the movies are released.”
