Zack Snyder’s ‘True Vision’ Revealed in Rebel Moon – The Director’s Cut Trailer

Netflix has released the trailer for Rebel Moon – The Director’s Cut, which is set to arrive on August 2 and will allow the world to see “Zack Snyder’s true vision” of this sci-fi tale.

According to Netflix, subscribers will be able to “Delve further into the mythology and madness of Zack Snyder’s epic sci-fi saga in the viciously sexier, bloodier world of REBEL MOON – CHAPTER ONE: CHALICE OF BLOOD and REBEL MOON – CHAPTER TWO: CURSE OF FORGIVENESS.”

“In Snyder’s director’s cut, a peaceful settlement on a moon in the furthest reaches of the universe finds itself threatened by the armies of the tyrannical Regent Balisarius, and Kora (Sofia Boutella), a mysterious stranger living among the villagers, becomes their best hope for survival,” the official description reads. “Tasked with finding trained fighters who will unite with her in making an impossible stand against the Motherworld, Kora assembles a small band of warriors – outsiders, insurgents, peasants, and orphans of war who share a common need for redemption and revenge. As the shadow of an entire Realm bears down on the unlikeliest of moons, a new army of heroes is formed.”

For those unfamiliar Rebel Moon – Chapter One: Chalice of Blood is the director’s cut of Rebel Moon – Part One: A Child of Fire and Rebel Moon: Chapter Two: Curse of Forgiveness is the director’s cut of Rebel Moon – Part Two: The Scargiver.

Both of these chapters will be rated R and will run for over two hours each. Snyder had previously said “they’re each about an hour longer” than the original PG-13 versions, so this could mean Netflix subscribers will have a six-hour-ish sci-fi epic to stream at the beginning of August.

The original cuts of Rebel Moon were released on December 15, 2023, and April 19, 2024, and we gave each one a 4/10. We said Part One was “let down by a derivative patchwork script, mediocre action sequences and a superficial story” and Part Two delivered a “half-baked conclusion to a well-trodden story with flimsy character studies and lacklustre action.”
