Director Zack Snyder took the stage at gamescom Opening Night Live to reveal the first trailer for his Rebel Moon films coming to Netflix.
Snyder has been developing his new Sci-Fi/Fantasy universe for a while now, as Rebel Moon is coming in a two-part movie event to Netflix that will also be supplemented by comics and, apparently, an upcoming video game. Many wondered why they would reveal the first trailer for Rebel Moon Part 1 & 2 during a gaming event, but with the announcement of a game currently well into development…it makes a bit more sense.
Either way, the first trailer for the upcoming films has arrived and looks suitably epic.
Despite the discourse that seems to follow him, I’ve always enjoyed Snyder’s films. Seeing him go hog wild on a space opera style film (complete with his own take on Lightsabers) has me pretty damn excited. Rebel Moon looks pretty darn good.
When a peaceful colony on the edge of a galaxy finds itself threatened by the armies of a tyrannical ruling force, Kora (Sofia Boutella), a mysterious stranger living among the villagers, becomes their best hope for survival.
Tasked with finding trained fighters who will unite with her in making an impossible stand against the Mother World, Kora assembles a small band of warriors — outsiders, insurgents, peasants and orphans of war from different worlds who share a common need for redemption and revenge.
As the shadow of an entire Realm bears down on the unlikeliest of moons, a battle over the fate of a galaxy is waged, and in the process, a new army of heroes is formed.
Rebel Moon Part 1: A Child of Fire hits Netflix on December 22, 2023 with Part 2: The Scargiver arriving on April 19, 2024.
