The Rebel Moon saga on Netflix was an attempt from Zack Snyder to craft a sci-fi epic on the level of Star Wars — and now the director is taking another stab at making it work. Netflix just announced that the director’s cuts of both Rebel Moon films will be streaming on August 2nd.
It’s not clear exactly how the new versions will be different, with Netflix saying they will “delve further into the mythology and madness of Zack Snyder’s epic sci-fi saga in the viciously sexier, bloodier world of Rebel Moon.” They will presumably be quite a bit longer than the original films — both of which clock in at over two hours — but at least they don’t appear to have been filmed in 4:3. Snyder previously said that the director’s cuts would include “close to an hour of extra content.”
As part of the release, the new versions of Rebel Moon have been given new names as well. The first film, originally known as A Child of Fire, has been redubbed Chapter One: Chalice of Blood for the director’s cut. Meanwhile the second film, The Scargiver, has been given the title Chapter Two: Curse of Forgiveness.
In lieu of a trailer, Netflix released these first-look images for the movies:
