In January, Netflix VP and producer Ori Marmur revealed that Zack Snyder's film Rebel Moon will no longer be one, but two movies given the vastness of the world and Snyder's passion for it. Now, news has come to light that there are also plans for extended cuts of both films.
Andy Koyama, a re-recording mixer on John Wick 4, made the revelation during a recent interview with SlashFilm. Koyama, who also happens to be a member of the sound team on Rebel Moon, stated:
We just did the first temp mix for the preview of part one, and it's very exciting. It's a big, huge, space — they probably don't want me to say this — 'Star Wars'-y, 'rebels against the evil empire' thing over all sorts of different worlds. It's really fun. There's going to be two films. I think we're mixing that from June to February. And there's also going to be extended R-rated versions of each of the two films, so we're going to be mixing four different features.
Zack Snyder and Netflix have kept plot details of Rebel Moon under wraps. What we do know so far is it's set in a fictional world where the armies of a tyrannical regent named Balisarius threaten a peaceful colony located at the galaxy's edge. In response, the colony's residents send a young woman with a mysterious past on a quest to assemble formidable warriors from planets in their vicinity to help them make a stand.
