Zack Snydermight be busy with the vast, sci-fi universe ofRebel Moonat Netflix, but he’s already thinking about his next project.
We spoke to Snyder about Rebel Moon: Part Two – The Scargiver, and our conversation also touched on what the director is planning next – and whether it might be any of those films.
“Illusions is also one of those movies,” Snyder notes, referring to a mooted adaptation of Richard Bach’s novel Illusions: The Adventures of a Reluctant Messiah, which Snyder has previously cited as one of his influences.
“It could be one of those, I don’t want to say exactly, because it’s going to be a bit of a surprise,” he says of his next project. “I really wanted to do something that’s not a visual effects extravaganza, just because I’d like to just do something a little grounded. Horse Latitudes is a perfect example of that, it’s much more just like a movie we can go film. I know that sounds, like, ‘Isn’t that every movie?’ But a movie like this [Rebel Moon], there’s nothing for free. There’s nothing to film unless you build it. So, it’d be nice to not have to do that.”
Rebel Moon: Part Two – The Scargiver hits Netflix this April 19. In the meantime, see more from our interview with Snyder onwhy he wants to release his alternate versionofSucker Punch.
