Exclusive: Zack Snyder's Rebel Moon will be an hour longer and promises to enthrall audiences with epic details of the film universe

Zack Snyder's epic sci-fi saga Rebel Moon promises to surprise audiences even more. The director has confirmed that his director's cut of this upcoming film will be a full hour longer, revealing even deeper into the film's universe.

Here's What We Know

"You really get to see a lot. It’s just more painted-in all the way. The director’s [cut] is a settle-in deep dive, which I have notoriously done throughout my career. I don’t know how I got into this director’s cut thing, but what I will say about it is that, for me, the director’s cuts have always been something I had to fight for in the past and nobody wanted it. It was this bastard child that I was always trying to put together because they felt like there was a deeper version."- Snyder shared on Netflix's Tudum platform.

"Rebel Moon" will be split into two parts, with the first (titled "A Child of Fire") coming later this year and the second ("The Scargiver") coming out next spring. The plot of the sci-fi film revolves around a peaceful colony at the edge of the universe whose lives are turned upside down when they are attacked by the armies of a brutal dictator.

Yesterday, 22 August, Netflix released the first trailer, which gives a real look at the upcoming grand space story.

When We Can Expect It

The first part of Rebel Moon, "A Child of Fire," will be released on Netflix on December 22. The second episode will be available in April 2024.
