Whilst we are still awaiting a trailer, Netflix used today’s Tudum event to reveal a featurette for filmmaker Zack Snyder’s new two-part Netflix intergalactic sci-fi epic “Rebel Moon”.
The story is set around a colony on the agricultural moon of Veldt at the edge of the galaxy. The peaceful is threatened by the armies of the tyrannical regent Belisarius (Ed Skrein) and the ferocious and all-powerful Imperium, which oversees the other planets from its home base of Mother World.
When Imperium forces expand out to encompass Veldt’s system, they target the moon as a potentially rich source of food and army recruits. But the natives, unhappy their existence is being threatened, turn to a newcomer named Kora (Sofia Boutella) for help.
The isolated young woman, who has her own past history with the Imperium, sets out in search of warriors from other planets to fight the tyrannical armies. But keeping her makeshift force together may be harder than she expected.
The cast also includes Anthony Hopkins as the voice of a sentient robot, Charlie Hunnam, Djimon Hounsou, Stz Nair, Bae Doona, Michiel Huisman, Jena Malone, Cary Elwes, Ray Fisher, Corey Stoll, Alfonso Herrera, Cleopatra Coleman, Stuart Martin, Kingston Foster, Ingvar Sigurdsson, and Fra Fee.
Snyder co-wrote the film with “300” co-writer Kurt Johnstad, and “Army of the Dead” co-writer Shay Hatten. “Rebel Moon” is expected to have a limited theatrical run before its streaming debut, with the first part hitting the service December 22nd
