  REBEL MOON SF MOVIE 

NEW EPIC MOVIE IMAGES

The rebellion starts this December!

Netflix has released stunning new images from the movie that has been ruling number one spot of their list of the streamer's most anticipated projects: REBEL MOON, a brainchild of Zack Snyder, set to arrive December 22nd, with the first part, as the movie has been split into two films which will also have two cuts: one for the general audience and one explicit, made for the adults only. Sofia Boutella, Michiel Huisman, Charlie Hunnam, Djimon Hounsou, Corey Stoll, Ed Skrein, Fra Fee, Cary Elwes, Stuart Martin, and Anthony Hopkins lead the cast of grand fantasy adventure that follows an enigmatic young woman living in a peaceful colony on the outskirts of the galaxy. She’s given the task of finding warriors who can fend off an impending invasion by the despotic Regent Balisarius. Although it is a lavish space opera, which was shot on a budget that exceeds $160 million, Snyder said it was lensed in a more intimate way to ensure a natural, immersive encounter with the otherworldly aspects of the film's universe. 

 

  THE STORY IS SET

on a moon that circles an immense gas giant at a distant edge of the galaxy and is populated mainly by farmers. The moon of Veldt is a David facing down the Goliath of the Mother World, which has amassed abundant wealth, political power, and an immense army. Veldt is nowhere special until the rulers of the Mother World decide to seize it as a breadbasket. The story, which Snyder has been mulling for more than three decades, focuses on outcasts, malcontents, and refugees from many disparate planets who join forces to rise up together against a punishing authoritarian government. A newcomer named Kora (Sofia Boutella) rallies them to resist rather than roll over. She has been hiding on this moon after fleeing from her own role within the leadership of that oppressive government. Since these Veldt farmers can’t possibly fight the Imperium alone, Kora sets off with a mercenary starship pilot named Kai (Charlie Hunnam) to find help. Kora has only a few months to assemble her fighters before the Mother World’s forces return to Veldt to collect their harvest. The advantage that they would have is, they could set a trap for the Imperium! Kora is joined by Gunnar (Michiel Huisman), a handsome but meek farmer she has befriended. While the pilot Kai has seen a lot of fighting and knows the back channels to various other guns for hire, Gunnar is naive about the world outside his village. Together, Kora, Kai, and Gunnar recruit the most fearsome, calculating, and deadly warriors they can find on other subjugated worlds. The first thing the village needs is a general capable of commanding the fighters the group hopes to assemble. That leads Kora to General Titus, played by Djimon Hounsou! Another of the brawlers they seek is Tarak, the bare-chested brawler (Staz Nair) in sync with nature to the degree that he can bond with a griffin-like flying beast called a Bennu and ride it into battle. There are even more outlandish characters who enter the fight, among them an ethereal spider-being played by Jena Malone and an ornate, centuries-old robot known as a Jimmy (voiced by Anthony Hopkins). The Jimmys were mechanical knights, relics of a bygone age, now mostly gone. This one endures in the wild, trying to merge the natural world with its mechanical form. Opposing these heroes is an Imperium enforcer known as Admiral Noble (Ed Skrein), a volatile and cruel emissary from the Mother World with a chip on his shoulder. He serves under Regent Balisarius (Fra Fee), who presides over this sector of the universe.
