Zack Snyder’s long-awaited director’s cuts of Rebel Moon are heading to Netflix sooner rather than later. More on them below.
For fans waiting for news on Zack Snyder’s director’s cuts of his Rebel Moon films, we’ve got a delightful update.
Both films, now under different names, will be available to stream on Netflix from 2nd August.
For the new cuts, Rebel Moon – Part One: A Child Of Fire has become Rebel Moon — Chapter One: Chalice of Blood and Part Two – The Scargiver’s director’s cut will be known as Rebel Moon – Chapter Two: Curse of Forgiveness.
Here’s the official synopsis for the director’s cuts: Delve further into the mythology and madness of Zack Snyder’s epic sci-fi saga in the viciously sexier, bloodier world of Rebel Moon — Chapter One: Chalice of Blood and Rebel Moon – Chapter Two: Curse of Forgiveness. In Snyder’s director’s cut, a peaceful settlement on a moon in the furthest reaches of the universe finds itself threatened by the armies of the tyrannical Regent Balisarius, and 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 Motherworld, Kora assembles a small band of warriors — outsiders, insurgents, peasants, and orphans of war who share a common need for redemption and revenge. As the shadow of an entire Realm bears down on the unlikeliest of moons, a new army of heroes is formed.
In an exclusive interview with Film Stories, the cast of Rebel Moon teased the longer, bloodier cut. The cast had a whole different script for the director’s cuts, which were announced by Netflix early on, before the films even debuted on the streaming platform.
Snyder has been confirmed to be working on a third Rebel Moon film, but fewer people watched The Scargiver than A Child Of Fire. Snyder and Netflix are now hopeful that promises of more violent cuts will entice more people to check out the films.
