Rebel Moon is written and directed by Snyder, a filmmaker known for 300 and Justice League. The new movie is inspired by Star Wars and Seven Samurai, and will debut in two parts, Rebel Moon – Part One: A Child of Fire and Rebel Moon – Part Two: The Scargiver.
Sofia Boutella stars as Kora, a mysterious warrior living in “a peaceful colony on the edge of a galaxy that finds itself threatened by the armies of a tyrannical ruling force.”
“Tasked with finding trained fighters who will unite with her in making an impossible stand against the Mother World, Kora assembles a small band of warriors — outsiders, insurgents, peasants and orphans of war from different worlds who share a common need for redemption and revenge,” an official synopsis reads.
Djimon Hounsou, Charlie Hunnam, Michiel Huisman, Doona Bae, Ray Fisher, Jena Malone and Ed Skrein also star.
Netflix released a teaser trailer in August and a full-length trailer in November.
Rebel Moon – Part Two: The Scargiver is scheduled for release April 19.
