First Glance: “Rebel Moon”

Zack Snyder’s sprawling, highly original, big budget space opera “Rebel Moon” gave us a nice teaser trailer a couple of months back. This past weekend Snyder and Netflix released their first full trailer for the first film in what is set to be an epic two-parter. This new look at “Part One: A Child of Fire” sees the director and co-writer telling a story uniquely his own. I for one can’t wait to see what he has imagined and created.

The film stars Sofia Boutella as the fiercely driven Kora who rallies together a team of warriors from across the galaxy to take on the powerful and oppressive Imperium and its tyrannical ruler Regent Balisarius (Fra Fee). This action-heavy first chapter looks to be full of cool characters, exciting locations, and plenty of eye-popping set pieces. It also features an intriguing supporting cast that includes Charlie Hunnam, Djimon Hounsou, Michiel Huisman, Staz Nair, Doona Bae, Ray Fisher, Jena Malone, Ed Skrein, and the voicework of Anthony Hopkins.

“Rebel Moon – Part One: A Child of Fire” releases December 15th on Netflix. Check out the trailer below and let me know if you’ll be seeing it or taking a pass.

  1. This looks incredible as I do like some of Zack Snyder’s work though… I’m still uneasy seeing Jena as a giant spider. Already, I’m getting nightmares about her as a spider and doing really horrible things to me. I’m afraid of spiders. Having my favorite actress ever playing the thing I fear the most is still fucked up.
