Zack Snyder Says He Hopes to Make Four or Six Movies in His REBEL MOON Film Series
Filmmaker Zack Snyder debuted the first movie in his Rebel Moon film series, Rebel Moon - Part One: A Child of Fire, this past December, just before Christmas. It was a highly anticipated first chapter of a brand new story that Snyder put a lot of time and hard work into.
Unfortunately, it wasn’t as big of a hit as everyone hoped it would be, but Snyder promises that there will be a big payoff with the second film, which hit Netflix this weekend. But that may just be the start of it.
In a new interview with RadioTimes (via GamesRadar), the Justice League helmer said that while he thinks turning the Netflix sci-fi series into a four-parter "makes sense," there could be the opportunity to do six films if they use a similar production process to the first two.
"Four or six movies, depending... I guess it's whether or not every time we make one of these movies we make two, that's the question," Snyder pondered, referencing how the first film was eventually split into two – which shot back-to-back – as it proved too much story to cram into just one feature.
If Netflix does wind up greenlighting more follow-ups, Snyder says he and his co-writers Kurt Johnstad and Shay Hatten already have a story in mind. "We're waiting to have the totality of these movies come out, including the director's cut.
“I'm probably going to make this other little small movie in the meantime, and before we decide what to do with more Rebel Moon movies. But yeah, excited to make more Rebel Moon movies, if that was in the offing."
Rebel Moon : Part Two – The Scargiver stars Ed Skrein, Djimon Hounsou, Fra Free, and Sofia Boutella, and the story sees former Imperium officer Kora and a handful of other surviving soldiers stand up to the oppressive Motherworld to save their home planet of Veldt.
