Zack Snyder gives details on R-rated version of ‘Rebel Moon’
Filmmaker Zack Snyder has opened up on the R-rated director’s cut version of his two-part science fiction epic movie Rebel Moon that will be released on Netflix. The first part will arrive on December 22nd this year.
Both Rebel Moon Part One: A Child of Fire and Rebel Moon Part Two: The Scargiver will have PG-13 ratings, but longer R-rated versions will be available to stream on Netflix at a later date.
“I’m super proud of the PG-13 version, the broader audience version because I would say it really satisfies an awesome, timeless, mythological scope,” Snyder recently told Entertainment Weekly.
He added: “What we’ve done with the other version is fun and subversive because an R-rated sci-fi movie at this scale shouldn’t exist.”
The director’s cut version will be more violent than their PG-13 counterparts and will expand on the films’ universe, offering around an hour more content in the process. “It’s not just slightly different or a little bit more,” Snyder noted.
The longer versions had always been planned by Netflix, and the director admitted that it was “the first time” that he’d been able to plan for a movie production in such a way.
