Visionary Auteur director and two time academy award winner Zack Snyder is at it again. After redefining the superhero genre, Zack is now poised to do the same to space opera with his latest and hopefully greatest movie, Rebel Moon. Originally concieved the idea back when he was in film school in the 80's, Zack started seriously working on the project about 20 years ago. In 2012, he pitched it to LucasArts, as a standalone project taking place in the Star Wars universe, but they turned it down. When Zack signed on with Netflix to do Army of the dead, they asked if Zack had any other projects he was interested in, and the rest is history. So now after his succesful debut at Netflix with AOTD, Zack is now launching the first part of what Netflix hopes will be a huge brand new IP, the Sci Fi space opera Rebel Moon. Filmed back to back with part two, Zack managed to deliver two huge blockbuster sci fi movies for a pricetag of 165 million dollars, an impressive feat. Also fun fact, Zack created a new camera lens specifically for Rebel Moon: quote:Zack Snyder has revealed how he crafted a camera lens using four different pieces of technology to create a "distorted retro" look for his new film Rebel Moon. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fhr3MzT6exg Citing both Star Wars and Akira Kurosawas Seven Samurai as big influences, Rebel Moon Part One is about Kora, a girl with a mysterious past and former soldier of the obligatory evil empire, gathering a diverse group of rag tag group of mercenaries and rebels, often oiled up and shirtless, to protect her adopted home, small farming settlement, from the empire she once abandoned. The Kurosawa and Star Wars influences are pretty obvious. In classic Snyder fashion, there's going to be a PG-13 rated version clocking in at two hours, and later on they'll release a longer R-rated version that's clocking in at around 3 hours. The cast is impressive, featuring a mix of old and new faces Sophia Boutella in her first lead role, the return of Ray Fisher, Cary Elwes, Charlie Hunnam, Anthony Hopkins as the voice of the robot Jimmy  It also features 3 (!) actors from Game of Thrones, two of which played the same dude  https://x.com/rebelmoon/status/1732761890693247226?s=20 Rebel Moon Part One: A Child Of Fire releases on netflix on Dec. 21 at 7 p.m. PT/10 p.m. ET. Rebel Moon Part Two: The Scargiver will follow very soon after, streaming on Netflix on April 19, 2024. No word yet on when the directors cut will be released, but presumably it will be out shortly after New Years. However, there's also going to be a limited theatrical release on December 15th for those lucky few who live in New york, Los Angeles, Toronto and London! Los Angeles will host screenings at the Egyptian Theatre New York City at the Paris Theater, Toronto at the TIFF Bell Lightbox, London at the Prince Charles Cinema. Also apparently there might be a limited run in the following cities: https://x.com/rebelmoon/status/1733124283272982861?s=20 This thread is specifically for discussing Rebel Moon.

Come watch the premiere with goons in the CineD Discord! I'll be hosting a Scener room if you have Netflix to sync with the Discord stream as well. [edit] If you can't make the premiere stream, I'll be streaming Rebel Moon in the CineD Discord again the day after, Friday 12/22 at 9PM central. teagone fucked around with this message at 03:57 on Dec 13, 2023 |

You forgot to mention Zack also had a custom lens built for this film too. As someone who appreciated but ultimately didn't like the look of Army, Rebel Moon looks way better.

https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-news/rebel-moon-stars-zack-snyder-process-premiere-1235754271/quote:Hounsou spoke to THR about the film’s deeper meanings, revealing that the story “mimics our reality in a fashion that I have never read from any script before” in how it “addresses so much the indoctrination of the continent of Africa over centuries.” I think Sophia and Zack also spoke about the themes of imperialism and colonization Two time Academy Award Winner Zack Snyder posted:" Because you know Kora and Titus were both you know from the mother world you know that's where they -- I mean Titus is from a conquered planet that was…I had this idea for Djimon's character and that that character had come from a planet that had been colonized by the mother world and that you know a generation before he was born and that in the tradition of sort of the colonizer sort of the best and the brightest are brought back to the mother world to study or to in his case you know to do military service but that is not -- you know he's an import you know he's from a conquered nation and he's here you know to be indoctrinated into like that way of thinking and you know and it's only back on his home world when he's visiting or when he was growing up did his nanny or his grandmother teach him about his own culture before the Imperium before the mother world invaded you know and that's how he knows about his world. So you get like little bits of his culture and we kind of used a little bit of this sort of Nigerian culture and sort of history of sort of colonization of Africa as a sort of model that was like, Djimon was like “oh yeah this happened you know like this is normal Sofia Boutella posted:"Sofia Boutella: Well, I want[ed] to work with him [Zack]. But on top of that, I think that -- I think there was a lot of stuff that I could relate to for myself. I was born in Algeria, and I never -- Kora is found on another planet that's not her home. She was abducted. I was not abducted. But my roots are not necessarily where I live and not where I grew up and not where I was born. And I can relate to that. There was a sense of freedom to that aspect, but also a sense of home is everywhere, but not specifically somewhere. That was very relatable for me. And then not to be dramatic, but there was a civil war growing up in my country. And not that it was as dangerous as, an actual war, but I grew up in that environment. And it's lodged somewhere in me, and I felt that, oh, yeah, I think I can do that." I'll be really interested to see how much of this is conveyed in the film

A spectre is haunting cinema— the spectre of Snyder. All the powers of old Twitter have entered into a holy alliance to exorcise this spectre: critic and blogger, Letterboxd user and IMDB nerd, MCU radicals and animation police-spies. Where is the party in opposition that has not been decried as a Snyder-esque bot army by its opponents in power? Where is the opposition that has not hurled back the branding reproach of 'DC fan', against the more advanced opposition parties, as well as against its reactionary adversaries?  Two things result from this fact: I. Snyder's army is already acknowledged by all online powers to be itself a power. II. It is high time that Snyder fans should openly, in the face of the whole world, publish their views, their aims, their tendencies, and meet this nursery tale of the Spectre of Snyder with a manifesto of the fandom itself. To this end, Snyder fans of various nationalities have assembled in London and sketched the following manifesto, to be published in gyms in the English, French, German, Italian, Flemish and Danish languages.

I was looking at excerpts of some of the reviews and ho boy, most of them are about the fandom and less about the movie. People get paid to write like this? I'm in the wrong business, my friends.

The true danger of AI is that so many critics use the phrase ai generated: “ he’s blockbuster cinema’s first example of the A.I. image generator as auteur: Plug in some nerd-rear end variables — zombies, Batman, sexual violence as character motivation, etc” Had this discussion in other thread, but going to see it a lot more instead of actual ideas.

The funny thing is that if you're actually concerned about AI supplanting real artistry, there's nothing more damaging to your cause than saying bad human art is akin to the production of a machine. The bad human art is what you're claiming to value!

AI art trends to have aesthetic and mechanical flaws that are noticeably different from the mistakes that artists make. It would be weird and noteworthy for an ostensibly human-produced movie to include those markers. Meanwhile, the economic threat represented by the trend of its adoption is all too familiar, since it's just the newest instance of the same old exploitation of artists. Anyone using the term "AI-generated" in a serious review should at least do so in such a way as to indicate that they know what the gently caress they're talking about. However, being conspicuously illiterate in criticism of "genre" media - whether favorable or unfavorable - is part of how the cultural establishment reinforces itself. This holds the same whether the author actually doesn't know what AI means for the field they're supposedly an expert in, or they're simply operating under an editorial mandate to use glibness and buzzwords to attract ad impressions. It's on the same level as boggling that it depicts extraterrestrials speaking English or whatever - just a way to show contempt by implying it's not worth taking seriously.

The bad human art is what you're claiming to value! It's also not as if cookie-cutter, focus grouped bullshit hasn't already been coming out for decades. Apparently studios literally making the most exec workshopped stuff they can because an algorithm told them it would increase profits by 2% doesn't clear the bar for "AI filmmaking", but one of a increasingly vanishing handful of directors actually pursuing their own vision does because...he uses themes nerds like? Unlike any other big budget studio movie??
