Filmmaker Zack Snyder has confirmed the first teaser trailer for the first film in his two-part Netflix epic space opera “Rebel Moon” will be released online on Tuesday after it makes its global debut live on Gamescom.
The story begins around a colony on the agricultural moon of Veldt on the galaxy’s edge. 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 history with the Imperium, sets out in search of warriors from other planets to fight the tyrannical armies. But keeping her band of rebels together may be harder than she expected.
The cast includes 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, Fra Fee and the voice of Anthony Hopkins.
Snyder co-wrote the film with “300” co-writer Kurt Johnstad, and “Army of the Dead” co-writer Shay Hatten. The film is expected to have a limited theatrical run ahead of its streaming debut on December 22nd. The second part does not have a release date as yet.
