The rebellion starts this December!

Netflix has
released first trailer for 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 A
CHILD OF FIRE, 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. The second part
THE SCARGIVER will stream April 19th next year.
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. Check out the trailer below I found it all kinds of amazing and breathtaking!
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.
