In thenew issue of Total Film, which hits shelves next week, legendary directorZack Snyderreveals that his upcoming movie, Rebel Moon, is like a mash-up of the classic Western movie The Magnificent Seven and the beloved World War II film The Dirty Dozen. “I said it was like a cross between The Dirty Dozen and The Magnificent Seven set in space,” the director says.
The filmmaker continues: “Part of the conversation was: ‘Why would Hollywood say no to your idea?’ And no one could think of a reason. It always stuck in my mind.” If Snyder could pull off such an idea, then indeed, why would they say no?
The science-fantasy flick, which Snyder dreamed up while he was studying film in college, stars The Gentlemen’s Charlie Hunnam, The Mummy’s Sofia Boutella, and Justice League’s Ray Fisher.
