Rebel Moon: Part One – A Child of Fire: Zack Snyder breaks down the trailer in new video

A couple days ago, the Netflix streaming service unveiled the first trailer for Rebel Moon Part One: A Child of Fire, the first part of director Zack Snyder’s two-part sci-fi epic, which they will be releasing on December 22nd. Now Netflix has also uploaded a video where Snyder spends almost 9 minutes breaking down the moments in the trailer. You can watch the trailer in the embed above, and check out Snyder’s trailer breakdown at the bottom of this article.

Snyder has always been open about the fact that he’s hoping “a massive IP and a universe that can be built out” from the foundation of Rebel Moon. He crafted the story for Rebel Moon with 300 co-writer Kurt Johnstad, and the pair wrote the screenplay with Army of the Dead co-writer Shay Hatten. The events of the two films, which draw inspiration from Seven Samurai, are set in motion when a peaceful colony on the edge of the galaxy is threatened by the armies of a tyrannical regent named Balisarius. Desperate, the colonists dispatch a young woman with a mysterious past to seek out warriors from neighboring planets to help them make a stand.

The films star Sofia Boutella (The Mummy), Charlie Hunnam (Sons of Anarchy), Djimon Hounsou (A Quiet Place Part II), Ray Fisher (Justice League), Doona Bae (The Host), Jena Malone (Sucker Punch), Staz Nair (Supergirl), E. Duffy (whose previous credits are all short films), Charlotte Maggi (MaveriX), Sky Yang (Tomb Raider), Michiel Huisman (Game of Thrones), Alfonso Herrera (Ozark), Cary Elwes (Saw), Corey Stoll (Ant-Man), Ed Skrein (Deadpool), Anthony Hopkins (Hannibal), and Stuart Martin (Army of Thieves).

Snyder, his wife Deborah Snyder, and Wesley Coller are producing the Rebel Moon films through their company Stone Quarry. Eric Newman is producing via his banner, Grand Electric, while Grand Electric’s Sarah Bowen executive produces.

Rebel Moon Part One: A Child of Fire will be followed by Rebel Moon Part Two: The Scargiver, which will reach Netflix on April 19, 2024. A Rebel Moon animated series is also in development.
