He is making headlines for his upcoming Netflix-exclusive epic space opera project Rebel Moon: Part One – A Child of Fire.

Zack Snyder’s Wife, Deborah Snyder, Reveals His Big Plans For Rebel Moon
Zack Snyder’s upcoming two-part saga epic sci-fi movie is creating a buzz on the internet. The teaser of the first part of his Netflix space saga titled Rebel Moon: Part One – A Child of Fire is out and has set the internet on fire, and fans are debating about it and can’t wait to watch this highly-anticipated movie.
During a media interaction, his wife opened up about when he pitched the movie as a Star Wars project. Deborah Snyder claimed she was relieved it didn’t work out because she wanted him to explore this epic tale uniquely. She explained:
“Once, it was a Star Wars film, and I never wanted it to be. I remember I said to Zack, ‘I just feel like your hands are going to be tied so much in what that IP is,’ even though it kind of lived outside of it. So I was kind of happy when that fell apart because I always felt like it was better.”
The 54-year-old producer continued,
“We learned so much with all our years working with the superheroes and creating those worlds, and to do something now that’s wholly original — we got to do a little bit of that in the world of zombies and with Las Vegas but to do something that is fantastical, we say it’s a science fantasy more than science fiction, and to take all those skills that Zack has been honing, and to do something in this space, just seemed really exciting.”
The director once revealed that he originally pitched his brainchild project as a Star Wars movie. Nevertheless, in 2012 the film got dropped after Disney Co. acquired LucasFilm. The Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice movie director then struck a deal with streaming giant Netflix and his wife’s production company Stone Quarry to help create a masterpiece into a completely new universe.
What inspired Zack Snyder to Create this Galactic Saga?
Zack Snyder has been weighing over his passion project Rebel Moon for decades. Now with his deal with Netflix, it will finally be out for the world to see, for he has been very vocal about it, that he wanted to showcase this galactic two-part saga and hoping it will turn into a unique universe and spawn into a franchise.
Eric Newman, the co-producer of his upcoming movie Rebel Moon: Part One – A Child of Fire, talked about what inspired Snyder to create this project, saying,
“I remember [Zack] calling me at some point, and this has got to be 15 years ago, saying, ‘I’m thinking of doing Seven Jedi in the Star Wars universe.’ And I was like, ‘Oh, that’s a cool idea.’ Then, a few years later, he calls me and goes, ‘You know, I think it could be a television show.’ I’m like, ‘Yes, let’s do this! F*** ‘Star Wars!’ Let’s do this as a TV show.'”
Zack Snyder-directed upcoming American epic space opera film boasts a star-studded cast ensemble featuring Sofia Boutella, Charlie Hunnam, Michiel Huisman, Djimon Hounsou, Doona Bae, Ray Fisher, Cleopatra Coleman, Jena Malone, Fra Fee, Ed Skrein, and Anthony Hopkins.
