All of those influences, we can’t deny the impact,” Johnstad says.

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.

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.

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.

Fans who grew up feasting on such Snyder extravaganzas as “300,” “Watchmen,” and “Sucker Punch” then saw his much-ballyhooed entrée into the DC comic-book sphere marked by ambitious but maligned misfires.
