Rebel Moon is finally almost here.
Dropping down your chimney with a tumbling force of pre-Christmas cheer, the first half of director Zack Snyder’s (“Watchmen,” “Man of Steel,” “Justice League”) new space opera project for Netflix arrives on the streaming giant’s platform on Dec. 22, 2023 and we’ve got all the sweet details to get you pumped for the big premiere.
“Rebel Moon — Part One: A Child of Fire” is the highly-anticipated saga that transports fans to a completely new sci-fi universe where a young freedom fighter named Kora must defend her adopted planetoid from hostile intruders alongside a hand-picked band of mercenaries and warriors out for justice.
Snyder is a consummate filmmaker who speaks the language as articulately as anyone in the industry, so there’s no doubt we’re in for one heckuva wild ride. From the looks of the first dynamic teaser and final release trailer, the film reveals its roots as an old abandoned “Star Wars” screenplay retooled with a definite “Seven Samurai”-style premise and plenty of creative breathing room to expand into a future universe of tie-in books, comic books, animation, and even video games.
The second half of “Rebel Moon,” titled “The Scargiver,” will arrive on April 19, 2024.
