Zack Snyder Just Dropped The Cast List And Concept Art For His Star Wars-Inspired Film, "Rebel Moon"
Director Zack Snyder has recently shared the full cast list and some concept art for his upcoming sci-fi epic, Rebel Moon.
This film's logline reads: "When a peaceful colony on the edge of the galaxy finds itself threatened by the armies of the tyrannical Regent Balisarius, they dispatch a young woman with a mysterious past to seek out warriors from neighboring planets to help them take a stand."
Sofia Boutella had already been announced as the film's lead character, Kora. But now, we know that Rebel Moon will also feature Charlie Hunnam, Djimon Hounsou, Ray Fisher, Doona Bae, Jena Malone, Staz Nair, E. Duffy, Charlotte Maggi, and Sky Yang.
Obrigada, papai @ZackSnyder por esse elenco ??????Charlie Hunnam, Djimon Hounson, Doona Bae, Ray Fisher e Sofia Boutella est?o em Rebel Moon, meu novo filme sci-fi ??. N?o tenho datas ainda, vamos só agradecer por enquanto.
What really has fans talking is that Ray Fisher will be back on the big screen after his heartfelt performance as Cyborg in Zack Snyder's Justice League.
Though we may never get to see him star in the DC Extended Universe again, we'll still get to see him make his well-deserved return to blockbuster movies after his legal conflict with Joss Whedon and Warner Bros. over the production of Justice League. His return to cinema also comes following his performance on ABC's civil rights miniseries, Women of the Movement.
Snyder also shared some jaw-dropping concept art for the movie that depicts the breathtaking worlds we'll see put to the film.
Honored to welcome this incredible cast to Rebel Moon. Charlie Hunnam, Djimon Hounsou, Doona Bae, and Ray Fisher join previously announced Sofia Boutella. Jena Malone, Staz Nair, E. Duffy, Charlotte Maggi, & Sky Yang round out the cast. More to come. Let's go! #RebelMoon @Netflix
Rebel Moon is based on Snyder's pitch for a Star Wars film that he made ten years ago. Since then, the director has rewritten the story so that it takes place in its own universe. The story also takes inspiration from Akira Kurosawa's Seven Samurai, which also had a massive influence on Star Wars.
"This is me growing up as an Akira Kurosawa fan, a Star Wars fan," Snyder said to The Hollywood Reporter. "It's my love of sci-fi and a giant adventure. My hope is that this also becomes a massive IP and a universe that can be built out. I've spent the last two or three years building out this universe. Every corner has to be painted in. I've been doing designs, constantly drawing, and really cultivating its fertile ground to make this world fully realized."
