Zack Sharf Digital News Director Daisy Ridley‘s Rey is coming back to the big screen in a new “Star Wars” movie directed by Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy (“Ms. Marvel”) and written by Steven Knight (“Peaky Blinders”).

Well, you gotta imagine, like the guy who did Deepfake Of Luke Skywalker and did it better than Lucasfilm (and then got hired for a job), the creator of this new “Star Wars” animated video is likely getting a call from Lucasfilm Animation and or Dave Filoni himself. So the aptly titled Star Wars YouTube channel Hello There has created a very inventive adaptation.

Alright, you know the drill. The Happy Sad Confused confused isn’t taking a break over the holidays, even in the new year.

Adam Driver weighed in on if he would be reprising the role of Kylo Ren or Ben Solo in the Star Wars franchise.

It’s Christmas day and Zack Snyder and Netflix have decided to give you a treat: the new teaser for his next upcoming film, “Rebel Moon — Part Two: The Scargiver,” the follow up to his ‘Rebel Moon — Part One: A Child of Fire.” It’s a generous move given that “A Child Of Fire, the first installment in his space opera was hit with scathing reviews when it debuted earlier this month (read our review), but one supposes, Snyder is no grinch, doesn’t mind and wants to keep the drum beating for his new series (it’s on our list of the 100 Most Anticipated Films of 2024, so let’s hope the ‘Scargiver’ is much better.

into a black hole of misery with the gloomy “Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice” and “Justice League.” And now the diabolical director is zapping the enjoyment out of outer space, too, in “Rebel Moon — Part One: Child of Fire” on Netflix. Running time: 133 minutes.

Star Wars and the works of Akira Kurosawa, Rebel Moon has ambitions to become the next big sci-fi blockbuster.Directed by Zack Snyder, the space epic follows Kora (Sofia Boutella) who battles to defend her village against the tyrannical Regent Balisarius (Fra Fee) and his emissary, Admiral Noble (Ed Skrein).Other cast members include Djimon Hounsou, Charlie Hunnam, Michiel Huisman, Staz Nair, Doona Bae, Ray Fisher, Cleopatra Coleman and Jena Malone.The film is split into two parts, with the second titled Rebel Moon – Part Two: The Scargiver scheduled to arrive in April 2024.Jimmy is voiced by Anthony Hopkins and performed by Dustin Ceithamer in the film. The robot, who is recruited by Kora, is the last member of a race of mechanical knights that served under the fallen king.Speaking to NME about casting Hopkins, Snyder said: “I mean, I was like, ‘Who can I get to be Jimmy? Patrick Stewart? Gabriel Byrne? Something like that?’ And then they were like, ‘What about Hopkins?’ I was like, ‘What about him?’ Like, that’s not a cool thing to say: What about Hopkins? Yes, of course Hopkins! And so we went and asked him and he was like, ‘Sure.

Disney has confirmed that Andor season two has been delayed, and will not be released on Disney+ in 2024.The first season of the Star Wars spin-off television show was a success, serving as a prologue to Rogue One: A Star Wars Story.Intense and dark in nature, it received critical acclaim and a large viewership, with fans keen for a sequel.In a five-star review of the first season, NME wrote: “It’s not just an extension of the films, but something genuinely different that pushes the edges of the galaxy far, far away from its origins.”However, reportedly due to strike action earlier this year, production on season two was halted with only two weeks left of filming.But it doesn’t appear that returning to the project was a priority, as the 2024 release schedule unveiled by Disney on Tuesday, doesn’t include the second season of Andor, and it will likely be released some time in 2025.This follows a confirmation earlier this year at the Star Wars Celebration fan convention that the second series would shoot throughout August 2023, with a view to launch the series on Disney+ in August 2024.However, when development on the series was brought to a halt during the WGA writer’s strike and the SAG-AFTRA actors’ strike in the summer, the release projection was reportedly postponed.The release schedule does contain several upcoming Star Wars projects, including The Acolyte and Tales Of The Jedi season two.In other news, actor Charlie Hunnam recently revealed that he almost played Anakin Skywalker in the franchise.

Thanks to the long, drawn out process of bringing “Zack Snyder’s Justice League” to the screen, people are now obsessed with the idea of Zack Snyder doing director’s cuts of his films. So, even before anyone saw one frame of his new film, “Rebel Moon — Part One: A Child of Fire,” there was already extensive discussion about his R-rated director’s cut.

If you remember, at the turn of the 21st century, the world was being reintroduced to the “Star Wars” franchise through George Lucas’ prequel trilogy. 1999 saw “The Phantom Menace,” which was a massive hit, and it was quickly followed up in 2002 with “Attack of the Clones.” But in between those films, a major casting search was conducted to find the young man who would play Anakin Skywalker, the tragic Jedi who eventually becomes Darth Vader.

Zack Sharf Digital News Director Charlie Hunnam revealed to Entertainment Tonight while promoting his new film “Rebel Moon” that he was heavily considered to play Anakin Skywalker in George Lucas’ “Star Wars” prequel trilogy. While child actor Jake Lloyd played Anakin in 1999’s “The Phantom Menace,” a time jump for 2002’s “Attack of the Clones” and 2005’s “Revenge of the Sith” required Lucas to cast an older actor as Anakin. Hayden Christiansen won the part, but Hunnam said he also met Lucas in person to discuss the role.

Having already made a sizeable TV mark with popular franchises like “Stranger Things” and “Squid Games,” Netflix obviously wants its own in-house epic “Avatar” or “Dune” sci-fi blockbuster franchise for the cinema (irony not lost here). Having made a home for director Zack Snyder, post-short-lived DC Universe, with “Army Of The Dead,” they’re clearly banking on the filmmaker’s latest effort, “Rebel Moon”—a big blustery and fabulist space opera in the vein of “Star Wars”— and to be the next big thing.

It’s difficult to quantify the viewership numbers for streaming films. All we really get are first-party numbers from the streamers directly, which are always used in a complimentary way.

Hayden Christensen landed what was Hollywood’s biggest role at the time when he was cast as Anakin Skywalker in 2002′s Star Wars: Episode II – Attack of the Clones, and he did so after beating out some serious A-listers for the role!

Charlie Hunnam almost played a key role in the Star Wars franchise.

Zack Snyder’s forthcoming sci-fi space opera “Rebel Moon” is a project he’s been kicking around for over ten years. It started out as an R-rated “Star Wars” film idea in 2012 that he pitched to Kathleen Kennedy.

Zack Snyder‘s new sci-fi film Rebel Moon – Part One: A Child Of Fire has been branded a “disaster” in scathing first reviews.Part One, which will be released on Netflix on December 22, stars Sofia Boutella as fearsome warrior Kora, a stranger with a mysterious past who crash lands on a moon and begins a new life among a peaceful settlement of farmers. However, she soon becomes their only hope of survival after they find themselves entangled with a tyrannical leader.The film also stars Charlie Hunnam, Michiel Huisman, Djimon Hounsou, Doona Bae, Ray Fisher, Cleopatra Coleman, Jena Malone, Ed Skrein, Fra Fee and Anthony Hopkins, who plays an android on a journey of self-discovery.Initial reviews are now circulating online, with most critics heavily criticising the film’s “incoherent” and “generic” plot.In a one-star write-up, The Independent described Snyder’s sci-fi movie as an “incoherent shambles,” adding: “It’s a film populated by some of the Justice League Snyder Cut filmmaker’s worst impulses: a mess of imagery, some of it attempting to shock, congregated largely around the idea of what might look good in a trailer.”The Guardian branded the film a “disaster” and criticised the lack of character development, nondescipt greenscreened locations, and “stultifyingly generic plot”.IGN was similarly scathing, writing: “Despite a great ensemble cast, Zack Snyder’s space opera is let down by a derivative patchwork script, mediocre action sequences and a superficial story that fails to live up to its expansive promise.”Meanwhile, in a two-star review, Empire wrote: “It’s well known that Rebel Moon was originally conceived as a Star Wars movie.
