During Netflix’s TUDUM event, Netflix released a new featurette forRebel Moon. Created byZack Snyder, the upcoming galactic adventure promises to kick off a new successful franchise for the streamer.Snyder began hisRebel Moonjourney byimagining what a matureStar Warsstory would look like. Unfortunately, Lucasfilm didn’t respond positively to Snyder’s pitch, which led the filmmaker to keep developing his idea in a brand-new fantasy universe. As the behind-the-scenes video shows us, that might have been a blessing in disguise. Without the restraints of a pre-established universe, Snyder could pour all his creativity into bringing an excitingly fresh galaxy to life, filled with quirky characters and breathtaking locations.While the new featurette doesn’t reveal much aboutRebel Moon’s story, the video shows us some star-studded cast members in full costume, ready to fight for their freedom.Sofia Boutellaleads the movie as Kora, a brave young woman who travels to find warriors who can help defend her peaceful farming planet from the ruthlessRegent Belisarius (Ed Skrein). The tyrant preys on the weak to consolidate his interplanetary empire, and only a band of unlikely heroes can stand in his way.RELATED:New ‘Rebel Moon’ Image Offers a Menacing Look at Ed Skrein’s VillainThe new video also teases the stylish action scenes Snyder has conjured forRebel Moon.
