Despite a segment of Zack Snyder’s fan base pushing the #SellTheSnyderVerseToNetflix campaign — i.e., getting him to finish his DC film work on this streaming service — while it wasn’t a pipe dream, the director remains busy enough with projects originals on Netflix. . In 2021, it is launched army of the dead and intends to lead the sequel planet of the deadand right now he’s preparing his two-part sci-fi epic rogue moon. Now a Netflix producer has explained why rogue moon was split into two films instead of remaining as one.
Originally designed as a Star Wars film he pitched to Lucasfilm before Disney bought the company, Zack Snyder redeveloped the project years later and put it on Netflix in the summer of 2021. Ori Marmur, who leads Netflix’s original film group with Kira Goldberg, is excited that the public is watching as rogue moon it turned out, and when asked why Variety gave him the “confidence” for Snyder to make these two films back-to-back, he replied:
Zack entered with such passion. It’s a film he’s had in mind for decades. As you know, he’s spent a lot of time working on other people’s IP at other studios. We worked with him on Army of the Dead and did things that other people couldn’t do. We made a movie and then a prequel and launched a live experience. With Rebel Moon, I wanted to push the limits again. When we saw how big a world he had created, we thought it would be better to act in a two-piece than in a film. It’s the kind of story that can keep growing. Think of it as the version of him doing something like Star Wars.
In another universe, maybe Zack Snyder’s original outing ended up being a Star Wars movie and kicking off a new chapter in the franchise just a few years after the prequel trilogy concluded in 2005 with revenge of the sith. However, in our universe, rogue moon is an original sci-fi offering that Ori Marmur and other top Netflix executives thought the story Snyder was telling would play out better as a duology. These executives had already seen him launch a franchise with army of the deadthey were therefore convinced that Snyder’s vision could easily fill two films instead of being limited to one length.
Whether or not this saga will continue after the first two movies probably won’t be revealed for a long time, but with the first one rogue moon In footage that arrived earlier this week, it was announced that Netflix subscribers will be able to watch the first part of this story in late 2022.
