Despite poor results, Zack Snyder’s sci-fi film series, Rebel Moon, may span only six films. Snyder told RadioTimes that he’s looking at four or six Rebel Moon movies.
Rebel Moon and Rebel Moon Part Two: The Scargiver were filmed back-to-back (a common practice in Hollywood to help save money), and if the sequels are filmed that way, too, Snyder said it’s possible he’ll see “Rebel Moon’s six. “. films.
“I think 4 makes sense. Four or six movies, depending. . . I guess the question is if every time we make one of those movies, we make two, that’s the question,” he said. “We were talking about it the other day and I thought, ‘Would audiences be disappointed if they only had a Rebel Moon movie now?’Would you say, ‘Oh, there’s already one? Awesome. ‘”
Snyder sold Rebel Moon to Netflix some time ago, but the company is now going through a new control that is likely more cost-conscious. Whether Snyder will direct more Rebel Moon videos on Netflix or elsewhere remains to be seen, but he already has a well-defined storyline.
“Surely they gave us the story ready, we’ve done all this work. We’ve written a remedy for the film, so let’s see how we move forward,” he said.
The Scargiver, a sequel to 2023’s Rebel Moon: Part One – A Child of Fire, arrives on Netflix on April 19. Snyder’s R-rated cut of the first Rebel Moon would be released later. A Rebel Moon video game is also in the works. .
As mentioned, the first Rebel Moon was not very well earned by critics and the ratings are also relatively low. Speaking to Empire, Snyder said he doesn’t have a “rebuttal” to bad reviews (Rebel Moon is ranked 31st on GameSpot’s sister site). , Metacritic). ” For some reason, the reaction to my films is very polarizing, and that’s been the case. There doesn’t seem to be much in the film that justifies such visceral responses. “
Among other things, some critics took note of an implied rape scene in Rebel Moon, and The Hollywood Reporter claimed that Snyder’s attempt to create a “menacing” enemy was simply “disgusting. “Beyond this specific scene, many critics said that Star Wars-inspired sci-fi movie isn’t very good.
Rebel Moon star Sofia Boutella said the backlash to the film “really affected me,” adding that it’s “hard to see anything being demolished to this point. “
Despite the bad reviews, Boutella said she was “proud to have been a part of this” and that if the exhibit doesn’t continue, it will remain “a very vital component of my life that I will protect forever. “
Rebel Moon ranked in the top 10 in terms of peak streaming prospects in its first 3 days for Netflix original video in 2023, and No. 1 in its release week, according to Netflix’s own streaming data.
Rebel Moon was born from the ashes of Snyder’s R-rated Star Wars movie release that Lucasmovie rejected, which is why the film has so many similarities to the iconic Star Wars series.
Snyder had worked with Netflix before directing Rebel Moon, directing the zombie film Army of the Dead for the streaming giant. He is also known for his theatrical films, 300, Watchmen, Sucker Punch, Man of Steel, Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. and Justice League.
