Netflix will soon be streaming one of its most ambitious sci-fi epics. The unabridged, six-hour version of a space war awaits us in a week’s time
Sex and violence tend to dispel boredom. This may also be true for director Zack Snyder and Netflix’s sci-fi ambitions. Because Snyder’s sci-fi blockbusters Rebel Moon – Part 1: Child of Fire and Rebel Moon – Part 2: The Scar Maker are to be re-released in a kinkier, more brutal form in a few days’ time.
Netflix to show all-new vision of sci-fi war
The Rebel Moon saga revolves around Kora (Sofia Boutella), who wants to protect her peaceful farming planet from the ruthless Empire. When the Empire subjugates her village with a cruel invasion force, the young woman visits neighboring planets in search of help.
Watch the English trailer for the new Rebel Moon films here:
The first two Rebel Moon films were released on Netflix in December 2023 and April 2024, with several sequels set to continue the sci-fi series in the future. However, the two films, which will be released on Netflix in a week’s time, do not tell a new story. Rather, they are intended to represent Snyder’s original vision, as he revealed on X.
The first trailer alone already shows how much more blood and naked skin will be seen in the new films. The uncut versions of Child of Fire and The Scar Maker have even been given new titles and are now called Rebel Moon – Chapter 1: Chalice of Blood and Rebel Moon – Chapter 2: Curse of Forgiveness.
When are the new Rebel Moon versions coming to Netflix?
The two new Rebel Moon versions will be available on Netflix from August 2, 2024. In addition to Sofia Boutella, the cast includes Ed Skrein (Deadpool) and Charlie Hunnam (Sons of Anarchy).
