REBEL MOON Star Says Film Is "Beautiful" and "Epic" and Talks About Working with Zack Snyder

There’s a lot of hype surrounding Zack Snyder’s upcoming sci-fi action film Rebel Moon. This film was born out of a Star Wars story that he pitched to Lucasfilm that they didn’t take, so this movie is our opportunity to see what Snyder would have done in the Star Wars universe, but it’s not a Star Wars movie. He repurposed it and is looking to launch his own franchise with it.

Rebel Moon star Cleopatra Coleman (Dopesick and Infinity Pool) recently talked with Collider about the film, and while she couldn’t say much, she did say that the upcoming sci-fi movie was beautiful and epic and also revealed what it's been like working with director Zack Snyder. She said:

"There’s really not much that I can say, but I will say that Zack is another director that really enjoys what he does. He comes at it with such enthusiasm, he’s camera operating, he’s in the trenches with everyone, and it’s a fantastical world that he’s created. I think people are gonna really love the action. The actors worked extremely hard on the stunts and it’s going to look really beautiful. It’s gonna be epic. That’s all I can really say. I can’t give it away."

I can’t wait to see how this turns out! The story is set in a “peaceful colony on the edge of the galaxy that 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 against the Tyrant.”

Snyder previously talked about the project saying: “This is me growing up as an Akira Kurosawa fan, a Star Wars fan. 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."

The movie also stars Sofia Boutella, Charlie Hunnam, Doona Bae, Djimon Hounsou, Ray Fisher, Jena Malone, Rupert Friend, Stuart Martin, Cary Elwes, Corey Stoll, Michiel Huisman, Anthony Hopkins, and Alfonso Herrera.
