Not only a beautiful destination, the Telluride Film Festival is a cinephile’s paradise; a secluded city in the Colorado mountains that’s hard to get to and then rather exclusive, which is probably partly the draw and the reason so many filmmakers and actors adore Telluride. But it’s also a cinephile’s haven in terms of community, there’s a knowing togetherness, lack of hierarchy and you can easily be in line for a film with a random science teacher from Albuquerque who is also a massive film nerd as you could be next to legendary director Werner Herzog.

Zack Sharf Digital News Director During a recent “Rebel Moon” press junket (via /Film), producers Deborah Snyder and Eric Newman expressed relief over the film failing to materialize as an entry in the “Star Wars” universe. Filmmaker Zack Snyder originally conceived “Rebel Moon” as a “Seven Samurai”-inspired “Star Wars” movie that he pitched to Lucasfilm shortly after Disney acquired the studio in 2012 for $4.05 billion.

Gears Of War creator Cliff Bleszinski has approved of Zack Snyder potentially directing a movie based on the acclaimed video game series.While at Gamescom 2023 to promote his upcoming film Rebel Moon, Snyder was asked which video game franchises he thinks would make for good films.“Gears [Of War] has always come up in our sort of circle,” he briefly teased before saying that he has always been interested in the Halo franchise, though he acknowledges that Paramount has already released a series based on the game.While he did not say much else about Gears Of War, Snyder has been a hot favourite among fans of the video game to helm a potential film.A Gears Of War film was green-lit at Netflix last year, though any further information on its development has remained scarce at the time of publishing. A tentative release date, cast and director have not been announced for the film.Now, Cliff Bleszinski has reacted to Snyder’s interest in a Gears Of War film, saying he “approves” of Snyder leading a movie, though he has one condition.

Netflix is releasing a director’s cut of the Zack Snyder film that will have “close to an hour of extra content” and fans don’t have to campaign for it to see the light of day.

There’s arguably been a disturbance in the Force that has disrupted its balance for years now. Some may argue the trouble goes back to 2012 when Disney bought Lucasfilm.
