There are few filmmakers who can build a world like Zack Snyder. From the ancient Greek epic 300 to the sprawling heroic heights of Justice League, the writer, director, producer, and cinematographer has showcased his ability to tell human, emotional stories on a grand scale time and time again. With his latest project, a two-part space saga called Rebel Moon, Snyder builds a universe from the ground up.

Rebel Moon, which the filmmaker had been mulling over for over 20 years, follows Kora (Sofia Boutella, The Mummy, Atomic Blonde), an enigmatic young woman who lives on the moon colony Veldt, in a far-flung corner of the universe. When her bucolic community is asked to surrender their harvest to the evil Mother World, led by Imperium totalitarian leader Regent Balisarius (Fra Fee, Hawkeye) and his second-in-command Admiral Atticus Noble (Ed Skrein, Deadpool), it is Kora who stands up to protect her adopted home rather than submit to their demands. 

With the help of a quiet farmer named Gunnar (Michiel Huisman, The Haunting of Hill House), Kora sets out across the galaxy, traveling to neighboring planets to assemble a team of warriors to fight back. Kora and Gunnar find a fiery group to join their ranks: Kai (Charlie Hunnam, Sons of Anarchy), General Titus (Djimon Hounsou, A Quiet Place Part II), Nemesis (Doona Bae, Cloud Atlas), Bloodaxe (Ray Fisher, Justice League), and Tarak (Staz Nair, Game of Thrones) are amongst the galactic insurgents. Inspired by auteur Akira Kurosawa’s 1954 classic Seven Samurai, Rebel Moon is the ultimate David-versus-Goliath tale, exploring the epic lengths a united front will take to protect their own.
