Rebel Moon

Looks like Zack Snyder after the success of that recent zombie movie on Netflix has been greenlighted to make another movie called Rebel Moon which will be a sci-fi title.

Think this might be a great thing, Netflix has actually been a savior when it comes to sci-fi because Netflix will make the show or movie. So I hope this is successful. Snyder says he wants to turn this into a movie series and if they let Zack do it his way I am sure it will be good. Because I hear the Snyder cut from Justice League is great. So here is hoping this will be a hit for Netflix but its not due to start filming until 2022 so maybe we get a late 2022 or 2023 release...

Sounds a bit like Battle beyond the stars, that super bit of cheese from the 1980s, which was a remake of the Magnificent Seven, which in turn was remake of the Seven samurai and I see Kurosawa gets a mention, although it's in connection with Starwars.
Wonder why Synder did not just say he was just remaking Battle beyond the stars.

At least he's not doing a film of the '90s game (a Wolfenstein-alike, as I recall).

I am not sure who has watched this yet..., but I never watched the initial release because I knew the directors cut versions were coming and I think it was worth the wait this is a good series and I hope it continues (we could get 2-4 more movies depending on viewership). First movie is over 3hrs and second is over 2hrs and the effects and storytelling is actually good and they do a good job of building the villain up These movies are 'R' rated where the originals were PG. Lots of character backgrounds are shown to get you to care about them.

I didn't much like the originals but I am a tragic for a director's cut so I will probably watch these!

Not sure if they had this in the originals or not but they did take the time to give backgrounds on the 'team' of main characters so you actually cared about why they were helping etc... Netflix should have probably never released the PG versions because the R versions I thought were good.
