Rebel Moon Director's Cut
If we talk about Zack Snyder, he is popular for making films that are as ambitious as they are. But is it Zack Snyder's film if it doesn't exceed the limits of ambition? In June, long before the Rebel Moon trailer was released, Zack Snyder confirmed that there was going to be an extended director's cut for Rebel Moon.
He said there will be a PG-13 version of the film released on Netflix in December that "anyone can enjoy and watch". Meanwhile, the director's cut aka the Snydercut of Rebel Moon will be for adult audiences only.
Is Rebel Moon based on a book?
Since the announcement of Zack Snyder's Rebel Moon, everyone has had one question on their mind – is the Rebel Moon movie based on a book? The short answer is, no, Rebel Moon is not based on any book. However, according to Snyder himself, Rebel Moon will be adapted into a novel series of the same name, but in greater detail.
The task of novelizing this vast saga has been given to the famous novelist V. Castro.
It will be available for purchase on Amazon on December 26, 2023, right after the official release of the first installment of the Rebel Moon film.
Is Rebel Moon a Star Wars movie?
Even though Rebel Moon looks a lot like the Star Wars film, it is not. Zack Snyder wanted to make a film that could tie into the Star Wars story with some Star Wars references.
Even though the film is now a standalone project, it retains some elements similar to Star Wars, the weapons, notably the energy swords that look like lightsabers. Uniform and some other elements of Regent Balisarius. Even though Rebel Moon isn't a Star Wars movie, the looks of its trailer will make you feel like you're in the Golden Age of Star Wars, and if you're a fan like me, I think we're both looking forward to Rebel. Eagerly awaited for the official release date of Moon i.e. 22nd December 2023.
