Netflix has unveiled the official trailer for "Rebel Moon - Part One: A Child of Fire", the first part of acclaimed director Zack Snyder’s two-part saga.
The sci-fi epic space opera is a grand fantasy adventure that follows an enigmatic young woman called Kora (played by Sofia Boutella) 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 interview, 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.
“Rebel Moon” marks the latest collaboration between Snyder and Netflix following the movie “Army of the Dead”. He also released a spinoff, titled “Army of Thieves,” and is working on a sequel and anime spinoff series.
"Rebel Moon: A Child of Fire” coming to Netflix on December 22, while “Rebel Moon: The Scargiver” will arrive on April 19, 2024.
