Zack Snyder Re-Teams With Netflix For Intergalactic Adventure Movie 'Rebel Moon'

What led one safecracker into a city besieged by zombies? It’s an intriguing question that follows a character in Zack Snyder’s “Army of the Dead.” Along with the director, Netflix gives viewers more clues with a new film centered around Dieter. “Army of Thieves” offers glimpses into how the small-time criminal found his place on a very challenging global stage.

Netflix zombie action movie Army Of The Dead.As confirmed by The Hollywood Reporter, Snyder has signed on for the sequel as part of a two-year first-look deal with Netflix.However, development on the sequel won’t begin until after his next project Rebel Moon has been completed.

Netflix and Zack Snyder have seemingly developed a solid working relationship following the successful release “Army of The Dead.” The streamer has already touted the success metrics of the Snyder zombie movie (it’s apparently one of their biggest movies), Snyder’s already produced a prequel with “Army of Thieves” and an animated prequel project “Army of The Dead: Lost Vegas,” is expected to premiere spring 2022.

“Rebel Moon,” a previously announced science-fiction adventure film that Snyder will direct. The news comes after Netflix revealed that Snyder’s most recent film “Army of the Dead” was watched by 75 million member households in its first 28 days, making it one of Netflix’s top 10 most watched original films.

Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa (showrunner, writer and producer for Netflix’s “Chilling Adventures of Sabrina”) titled “Chilling Adventures of Sabrina #9.”Set to release Oct. 13, the collaboration between Aguirre-Sacasa and original comic series artist Robert Hack, “Chilling Adventures of Sabrina #9” will return to the series’ satanic horror roots and continue the “Witch War” storyline, with both Spellmans – one from Hell and one from Earth – pitted against each other.

EXCLUSIVE: Sabrina Spellman lives on—sort of—in the new Archie Comics and Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa series The Occult World of Sabrina which will pick up where Netflix’s Chilling Adventures of Sabrina left off in its series finale cliffhanger. Sabrina may have welcomed death, but someone close to her is plotting to bring her back.

Nielsen has similarly tracked impressive numbers for the film in its weekly streaming rankings. “The Mitchells” in May became the first movie since “Soul” to lead all streaming movies for a given week, being watched by 853 million viewing minutes at its peak.
