Nothing motivates me more than seeing a team of underdogs fight back and win. Rebellion films are hopeful films. In them, the protagonists form a resistance movement and struggle for independence. With all that interpersonal conflict, there’s plenty of room for action sequences as well.
Considering how groundbreaking it was, it’s no surprise that filmmakers continue to draw from it for projects like “Battleship Potemkin,” “Spartacus,” “Andor,” and “Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania.”
Now, a thrilling contemporary filmmaker is adding his unique take on this age-old custom. The two-part “Rebel Moon” directed by Zack Snyder will soon be available on Netflix, and based on what we’ve heard, it will more than satisfy your cravings for everything “Star Wars”-related.
In this science fiction tale pitting the little person against Big Brother, but who plays the lead role? Also, when can we expect to see Snyder’s grand adventure unfold on television? Here you will find all the information you want for “Rebel Moon” by Zack Snyder.
