We continue with the long list of surprises that Netflix’s Geeked Week has shared today, as the streaming platform provided fans with a great bombshell filled with first glimpses, luckily among which was Rebel Moon, the upcoming movie. inspired by Star Wars from director Zack Snyder.
This was actually shared from the official account of the filmmaker, where he published a tweet that excited fans for what is to come, and to complement, today the long-awaited look at the long-awaited science fiction epic arrived, content that It won’t be online right away, but we’ll be looking forward to it.
As, Rebel Moon comes right after Army of the Dead from Snyder, which was not only a huge success for Netflix, but also spawned its own franchise.
Now on Rebel Moon, it is set in a peaceful colony on the edge of the galaxy that finds itself threatened by the armies of the tyrannical Regent Balisariuswhere a young woman with a mysterious past is sent to find warriors from neighboring planets to help them take a stand against the Tyrant.
This story is not only inspired by the universe of george lucasRather, Rebel Moon initially began development as a “more mature” release for the Star Wars universe, but fell by the wayside when Disney acquired Lucasfilm in 2012.
“This is me growing up as an Akira Kurosawa fan, a Star Wars fan,” Snyder said, in a statement to The Hollywood Reporter when the film was announced. “It’s my love of sci-fi and a giant adventure. My hope is that this too becomes a massive IP and a buildable universe.”
It’s easy to see this as an extension of the Army of the Dead concept, where Snyder took something he was interested in and instead of trying to get the rights to do something in-universe, he just made Zack Snyder’s version of it.
