Director Zack Snyder and DC are synonymous with each other. However, James Gunn is the new creative head of the DC. The American director is the brain behind one of the best movies from the house of DC like- Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, Man of Steel, Wonder Woman, and Justice League. He came into prominence with his 2004 release Dawn of the Dead, which was a remake of the 1978 horror movie of a similar name.

The Academy Award-winning director has changed his track from superhero movies to the intergalactic business. Zack Snyder is currently working on a Netflix movie Rebel Moon, which was a script for the famous franchise Star Wars. However, Zack Snyder has made the required changes and even claims that it is totally different from the famous franchise.

Zack Snyder Drops Big News Before The Release Of Netflix’s Rebel Moon

During an interview with a reputed media outlet, Vanity Fair, director Zack Snyder spoke about his upcoming sci-fi movie Rebel Moon. The movie centers around a woman Kora, played by actor Sofia Boutella who is looking forward to creating a dynamic group of warriors from different planets to fight off the tyrannical armies that terrorize her peaceful colony.

Rebel Moon is set to release at the end of 2023. The 300 movie director has dropped big news about the second installment of his upcoming Netflix release. He feels that the second part of Rebel Moon would not take much time after the release of the first part. Zack Snyder mentioned-

“It won’t be long after,” he said. “Netflix can do things that a traditional studio can’t do as far as how close together the movies are released.”

With the background and the theme of Rebel Moon, it is impossible that the upcoming movie would not be compared to Star Wars. Zack Snyder opened up on the inevitability of the comparisons that would be made with respect to Star Wars and said-

“Of course, those comparisons are going to be made,” He said. “Anything that has a spaceship in it is going to be: ‘This is blank’s Star Wars.’ So I understand and sort of welcome the comparisons. But at the same time, I do believe that our thing is really an entirely different experience.”

The Justice League director is ready to embrace the comparisons with open arms and even thought that Rebel Moon is Zack Snyder’s Star Wars. 

Zack Snyder Takes A Dig At The Star Wars Franchise

During an interview with Vanity Fair, Zack Snyder spoke about his upcoming new Netflix movie Rebel Moon. He mentioned the main objective behind the sci-fi movie, which is already divided into two installments. He wants to infuse the sci-fi elements in such a way that they look organic and interwoven into the story. The 57-year-old producer went on to say-

“This movie was me going, ‘Of course, it’s a space opera, but let’s not lens it that way. Let’s lens it in a more intimate way so that the sci-fi elements feel more grounded.’ We’re not always saying, ‘Look at how big our spaceships are or how weird our planets look!’

He further added-

“That happens, but it happens as an organic part of the world you’re in. You’re there, and so the things you see on that journey are not forced upon you or spoon-fed to you.”

The Star Wars fans feel that Zack Snyder has belittled the sci-fi franchise with his ‘spoon-feeding’ comment. Instead, the Rebel Moon director pointed out how in a multi-dollar project the characters, plots, and subplots always end up messing up with the core message of the movie. Zack Snyder even said that his sci-fi world is different from the one created by George Lucas.

Rebel Moon would be aired on Netflix, on December 22, 2023.
