Official titles for the director’s cuts ofZack Snyder’s Netflix sci-fi action movies Rebel Moon Part 1 and 2 have been reportedly revealed, and they are vastly different from the originals.
According to listings onFilmRatings, Snyder’s director’s cut ofRebel Moon: Part One – A Child of Fireis titled Rebel Moon – Chapter One: Chalice Of Blood, andRebel Moon Part Two – The Scargiver’s cut is titled Rebel Moon – Chapter Two: Curse Of Forgiveness.
We already had an idea ofthe first movie’s director’s cut title earlier this year, along with its R rating. But confirmation of Part Two’s alternative title is new and has been rated R or strong bloody violence and gore throughout, strong sexuality, nudity, and some language.
Starring Sofia Boutella, Ed Skrein, Staz Nair, and Michiel Huisman, Rebel Moon follows a group of warriors who join together to save a colony on the edge of the galaxy against a tyrannical force.
According to Snyder, the cuts will be overan hour longer than the originalswitha whole new opening. Rebel Moon parts 1 and 2 came in at just over 2 hours each, meaning the cuts will be at least 3 hours long, but what will that extra hour include exactly? Well, inan exclusive interview with GamesRadar+, Snyder described the first one as an “alternate universe version of the movie,” and star Skrein revealed it includes a rather risque extension of his character Noble’s sexual interaction with an alien creature. “The people at Netflix keep saying to me, ‘Have you seen the R-rated cut yet?’ and they say, ‘Have you seen your alien sex scene yet?'” Skrein said.
But the adventure won’t stop there, as Snyder already has plans for awhole extended universe including four to six movies. “We definitely have a story in mind, if we were to go forward,“Snyder told GamesRadar+in reference to a third movie. “We’re waiting to have the totality of these movies come out, including the director’s cut… But yeah, excited to make more Rebel Moon movies, if that was in the offing.”
