Joining Sofia Boutella in Snyder’s next Netflix-backed tentpole are Charlie Hunnam, Djimon Hounsou, Ray Fisher, Doona Bae, Jena Malone, Staz Nair, E. Duffy, Charlotte Maggi and Sky Yang. Fisher previously worked with Snyder on “Justice League,” where he starred as Cyborg. “Rebel Moon” will also reunite Snyder with Malone after their work together on “Sucker Punch.” To mark the casting announcement, Snyder shared first look concept art from the movie on social media.

“Rebel Moon” is described as a grand fantasy adventure.

I was never a fan of Snyder's work but both Batman v Superman (Ultimate Edition) and Justice League were way better than I had expected. And this is a new IP! I'll be sure to check it out even though parts of what I usually dislike about Snyder's films are very prominent in the trailer.

I'm looking forward to this too, although I'm pretty sure this is actually a repurposed Star Wars movie that Snyder was developing for Disney until they axed it.

Its indeed feels like "we have Star Wars at home" meme.

[Andrew NDB]

I hope it's good, but it could be another Jupiter Ascending/Valerian and the City of a Thousand Plants -- lots of world building happening around characters we don't ever particularly care about or get to know in any meaningful way.

Looked at the writers. It's got the guy who wrote "Day Shift" on Netflix (the Jamie Fox vampire movie... not good!) but also the guy who wrote Atomic Blonde, which I didn't care for but a lot of folks seemed to like. Also, of course, Snyder himself has a hand in the script. I wouldn't have high hopes here at all.

It's got it in the looks department. Have to wait and see on the rest.

Snyder on the writing duty?
Expect some weird philosophical tangents which echoes "I am 14 and this is DEEP!!".

Will two people that are against each other become Besties once they find out their moms have the same name in this movie? :lol:

I am trying to figure out how it meshes with his edgy philosophy. Or is it an attempt to get in good graces of modern Holyweird bosses.

Probably the latter. Or win points with... certain people.

24% on RT. another failure for Snyder

[Andrew NDB]

If he's not adapting something from a comic, his output is questionable. He doesn't appear to wholly understand story and character, if left to his own devices.

I mean, he's in good company. Ridley Scott doesn't, either. He can turn an amazing script into an amazing movie, but not without the script and it wouldn't be written by him.

[Sumac]

Snyder did a Snyder movie.
If anyone doubted his abilities or thought that Sucker Punch or BVS were bad, because, "people were too stupid to understand HIS genius".

He is just a ****** filmmaker with a mentality of a teenager, who thinks "deep thoughts and boobs and blood" make movie mature and poignant.

Some of the cultists have already started creating alt accounts to rig the audience appreciation score and flood the site with positive reviews.

[CyberCubed]

Every time I see the title of this thread I think it's a Star Wars movie. Rebel Moon is literally a Star Wars title.

[IMJ]

I liked Valerian but I'm a HUGE sucker for Luc Besson movies. I'm hoping I feel the same about this whenever I get around to watching it, but Zack Snyder is truly hit or miss across his filmography.

[Andrew NDB]

Because it was. This is just Snyder re-purposing his Star Wars pitch that was rejected.

[Andrew NDB]

Ugh... here's Snyder, again with the "I have a director' cut that's a COMPLETELY different movie!"

Snyder looked at game developers and decided that he too can make "early access movies". :lol:
And release "complete version" later, for an additional money.

Retard.
Screw him.

If he, even without any deadlines or outside oversight, can't make a good movie on a first try, he doesn't deserve to "try again". He deserved to be mocked and probably learn how to make good movies. Or **** off from industry in general - world knows there are plenty of one bit hacks with a "vision" who can make slow-mo and gore look good on a screen, without pretending to be "deep philosophers".

[Barkworm]

Snyder has had his moments but he is an idiot.

[IMJ]

I feel like every Director has massive "ego stories" in play nowadays as some opus like they are Beethoven or Shakespeare or something. Even the dramatic naming of these projects gets on my nerves at this point - "Rebel Moon: Part 1 A Child of bla bla bla" just screams of "Creative ego bandwagoning".

Epic film making is awesome - once it's a proven and onboarded concept. Guy should have just made "Rebel Moon" a compelling and fun movie with hints of backstory and if it caught on you make part 2.

But no, he had to make "Rebel MOON!!! Part..... ONE! A Child of bla bla bla" :roll:

[Sumac]

Ambitions are great, but they need to be supported by a talent.
Snyder is a visionary and even then he is fairly limited, but that's about it.
He can't tell story at all, unless he works with pre-established script.

Yeah, tell me about it.

Teaser for part two out already

Sat through this in two sittings.

The irony is that it isn't even as remotely bad as everyone was making it out to be, yet all of my observations about it are somewhat critical and borderline negative. Go figure.

Overall just a very cliche movie. It seemed like a mashup between Star Wars, Firefly and any "Seven Samurai" movie that has ever come out. The slow motion action-scenes are used in cliche and unexciting moments and I imagine they would have played out better in real time.

I also could never tell what act we were in at any given moment and when she finally defeats the "evil General Guy" I actually thought I was only at a battle a quarter of the way through the movie rather than the finale.

Just very confused regarding what else to say. Not remotely as bad as people would have you believe, yet every bit as bad.

[TigerClaw]

I heard he has an R rated version of the movie, Which he said is a completely different movie then what the PG-13 is showing, That version will eventually get released.

This is something that been happening with Zack Snyder these days, He makes a movie, and at some point releases an R rated cut of it, Like what he did with Batman v Superman, and then Zack Snyder's Justice League.

[Sumac]

As I said before, Snyder - is the first director who mastered "art" of "early access movies".
Hopefully he will be the last.
