Zack Snyder's sci-fi action film "Rebel Moon" will receive an R-rated director's cut titled "Rebel Moon: The Director's Cuts," divided into two extended movies. The all-at-once release strategy for the director's cuts on August 2, 2024, is reported to align with Netflix's binge-watching model.
Despite initial negative reviews for being exposition-stuffed, formulaic, and resembling Star Wars, Snyder plans to release the R-rated director's cut, promising a different tone with blood, sex, and alternative shots.
The director's cut is reported to feature added sexual content, graphic violence, longer runtimes, new scenes, and alternate takes, creating a parallel universe feel, as Snyder reportedly wanted R-rated movies, while Netflix wanted PG-13.
The ensemble cast, including Sofia Boutella as Kora and Charlie Hunnam as Kai, will remain the same, with Kora gathering a crew to resist the impending threat from Regent Balisarius and his armies.
The "Rebel Moon Director's Cut" will be released on Netflix on August 2, 2024.
