Zack Snyder’s science-fiction epic “Rebel Moon” has announced its full cast. 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. The script, which Snyder co-wrote with Shay Hatten and Kurt Johnstad, follows an enigmatic young woman who is given the responsibility by a peaceful colony on the outskirts of the galaxy to find warriors who can fend off an impending invasion by the despotic Regent Balisarius.

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.

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?

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.

Reviews embargo is up and they're... dismal.

24% on RT. another failure for Snyder

*Andrew NDB* · 12-15-2023, 12:39 PM

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~~ · 12-15-2023, 02:02 PM

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.

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* · 12-17-2023, 01:10 PM

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.
