Film adaptations to video games are not always successful, however, that will not stop zack snyder to try your luck in this field. The filmmaker stated in an interview that rebel moonhis next science fiction film for NetflixIt will also come in the form of a video game. According to Snyder, the project will be so “big and immersive” that it will do justice to the new universe he developed for the film.
In a participation in the podcast The Nerd QueensZack Snyder revealed the first details of the video game rebel moon. “The only thing I’m really having a good time with — and I don’t even know if I should talk about it — is this role-playing game that we’re doing,” said the director of The Justice League. “It’s literally crazy. so immersive, so intense and huge. We talked about how we would make the game and we just said ‘let’s go,'” she said.
Apart from the fact that it is an RPG, Zack Snyder kept the details about the video game based on rebel moon. What the director did mention is that is very involved in the project and hopes it will be a great adaptation. “They said ‘we can do it on this scale… or we can do it on a ridiculous scale.’ I was like, ‘Well, the ridiculous scale is clearly the scale that we’re doing it on,'” Snyder said.
The only drawback is that a game with the “ridiculous scale” that Snyder hints at would take a long time to develop. The filmmaker knows this and is happy to see it through to the end. According to Zack Snyder, develop rebel moon It hasn’t been a short-term commitment.since the interconnected nature of the universe required a lot of attention to make sense of it all.
Zack Snyder’s game based on rebel moon would take years to develop
Although rebel moon will premiere on Netflix on December 22, 2023, the video game does not have an estimated release date. Zack Snyder did not give information about the development phase in which the RPG is. This is important, since a game “on a ridiculous scale” as the filmmaker puts it, would take 3 to 5 years to come to fruition.
Zack Snyder mentions that the universe of rebel moon it is not a short-term commitment. The science fiction film, inspired in Star Wars and the work of Akira Kurosawa started as a spin-off that Snyder proposed to Lucasfilm before it was acquired by Disney. Subsequently, the manager signed an exclusive with Netflix with a view to creating a franchise that encompasses more films and related projects (such as a video game).
According to the official synopsis, rebel moon focuses on the story of Kora, a young woman who lives in a colony at the edge of the galaxy. When the armies of Regent Balisarius threaten the peace of her home, Kora will have to find allies on nearby planets to stand up to the tyrant. The film is directed by Zack Snyder and stars Sofia Butella, Djimon Hounsou, Ed Skrein, Ray Fisher, Charlie Hunnam and Anthony Hopkins.
rebel moon will be divided into two parts. The first will be released later this year, while filming for the second began in August 2022. It is possible that the video game adaptation will arrive at some point close to the sequel, or as a link between both films and future projects based on in the franchise. The truth is that it is an important bet and knowing the patience of Netflix with its projects, there is no full confidence that the game will see the light of day one day.
