Producer explains why Zack Snyder’s Rebel Moon was split into two movies. 'When we saw how big the world he created was, we thought it would be better served as two pieces versus one film. It’s the kind of story that can continue to grow.'
A Netflix producer has stepped up to explain the massive scope of Zack Snyder's upcoming project Rebel Moon. A popular director, producer, and screenwriter, Snyder gained a massive following after his work on 300, which told the story of a Spartan stand against the Persians at the Battle of Thermopylae.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY Now, Snyder has turned his attention to outer space for his next project, Rebel Moon, and the scope of the movie is constantly and rapidly growing in intensity. With Snyder having already announced in a set video that Rebel Moon's filming wrapped, progress on the film looks to be moving quickly, but that doesn't mean that it hasn't hit a few setbacks due to its scope.
"Zack came in with so much passion. This is a film that he’s had in mind for decades. As you know, he’s spent so much time working on other people’s IP at other studios. We worked with him on Army of the Dead and we did things that others couldn’t do. We made a film and then a prequel and launched a live experience. With Rebel Moon he wanted to push the envelope again. When we saw how big the world he created was, we thought it would be better served as two pieces versus one film.
Following the story of a rising rebellion against the tyrannous Regent Balisarius , Rebel Moon sees a colony sending the young Kora to try to seek aid and warriors across the stars, so that the colony can break free of the oppression of Balisarius. Snyder's own synposis for Rebel Moon reveals the story of a farming planet standing up against oppressors and seeking support along the way.
The project will consist of two separate movies, though Rebel Moon distinguished itself by filming both parts back-to-back, meaning that the second iteration of Rebel Moon can be released much more quickly. Netflix, where the film is set to premiere, hopes to see several spin-offs for Rebel Moon, just as the Star Wars franchise has been able to support its own universe.
