About half a year ago we learned that Zack Snyder was going to throw recycling to shape his new feature film. After having kept an idea in the drawer that he tried to sell to LucasFilm as a new chapter in the ‘Star Wars’ universe, the filmmaker has rescued it from Netflix under the title of ‘Rebel Moon’, promising a science fiction adventure heavily influenced by Akira Kurosawa.
Talent and old acquaintances
Since then, the trickle of information about the project has been minimal, having only transcended the name of Sofía Boutella as the protagonist; but now, thanks to the people of Deadline, we have known the rest of the names that will be part of an international cast of the most attractive and that, in addition, it will reunite Snyder with former collaborators.
The list of performers to join ‘Rebel Moon’ includes Ray Fisher —Cyborg in ‘Justice League’—, Jenna Malone —who already collaborated with the director on ‘Sucker Punch’ and ‘Batman v Superman’—, Charlie Hunnam, Djimon Hounsou, Staz Nair, E. Duffy, Charlotte Maggi and the South Korean actress donna bae. It’s nothing, but nothing bad…
At the moment, little else is known about ‘Rebel Moon’, which Zack Snyder already spoke about last summer, making it clear that he intends to shape your own cinematic universe:
“I grew up a fan of Akira Kurosawa and Star Wars. It comes from my love of sci-fi and big adventures. I hope it becomes a massive piece of intellectual property and a universe to build on.”
The film is expected to start its production phase throughout this 2022 and, of course, It doesn’t have a release date yet..
