Let it not be said that Zack Snyder is lacking ambition.
After leaving Warner Bros. along with his initial plans for the DC Extended Universe, the Watchmen director took his talents to the popular streaming platform, Netflix, and so far, the investment has paid off well.
Last year's Army of the Dead and its prequel, Army of Thieves, are among Netflix's most-watched shows. However, while audiences very much enjoyed Snyder's first two films for Netflix, his next one, Rebel Moon, is shaping up to be even more epic. Snyder recently shared photos from the ongoing shooting of the film that initially began life as a pitch for Star Wars and it's not afraid to show its inspirations.
While commemorating the first day of filming of Rebel Moon, Snyder gave audiences their first look at an in-costume Djimon Housou as General Titus as well as what looks like the ins and outs of a landing platform.
As revealed in its initial announcement, Rebel Moon is a big-budget epic that Snyder first pitched to Lucasfilm before the Disney acquisition in 2013. The idea languished in Snyder's brain until Netflix gave the progenitor of the Snyderverse a chance to make it come true. To no one's surprise, the big-budget epic is living up to its inspiration, with the latest rumors suggesting that the sci-fi film is too big for just a single outing. Then again, context matters and most rumors fail to take into account that Snyder is brazen enough to release a 4-hour-long movie in Zack Snyder's Justice League in theaters.
