Zack Snyder’s two-part sci-fi epic Rebel Moon is now streaming in full on Netflix, with last year’s Part One: A Child of Fire followed by this year’s Part Two: The Scargiver.
But the Rebel Moon saga is far from over, because Zack Snyder’s Director’s Cuts of both movies are coming to Netflix. And they’re said to each be around One Hour Longer.
Of particular note, the Rebel Moon Director’s Cuts will be rated “R,” promising the bloody violence that wasn’t found in the PG-13 versions of the two movies currently on Netflix.
For starters, Rebel Moon – Part One: Director’s Cut has been rated “R” for…
“Brutal bloody violence and gore, sexual content, graphic nudity and language.”
We don’t yet have a release date for these Director’s Cuts. Stay tuned.

Zack Snyder may be very well-known for directing huge blockbusters like Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice or the Rebel Moon franchise, but all these big-budget hits leave quite a lot to be desired when it comes to their critical reviews.
Ever since he directed an action horror Dawn of the Dead back in 2004, Snyder has never got to do better with critics and, what’s even worse, his films since then seem to have adopted some kind of weird trend as the rating gets lower with every new release.
Though the problem may not lie in Snyder’s directorial style, a bizarre coincidence regarding his filmography raises a thought whether he’s just a bad writer and that’s it.
Zack Snyder Should Just Stick to Directing

Exclusive: Netflix’s new feature Boss Dan Lin has tapped former DreamWorks Animation and Coyote Vs. Acme producer Chris deFaria to consult for the streamer’s animation department, we hear on very good authority.
Lin and deFaria worked together on the mega success of The Lego Movie when the duo were at Warners. Essentially, what is being sorted at Netflix is how to eventize their animation movies more. The streamer, together with Annapurna, saved the Blue Sky axed Disney LGBTQ+ movie Nimona, a casualty of the Disney-Fox merger; the pic wound up getting an Oscar nomination for Animated Feature.
Animation reports into Lin. Karen Toliver serves as VP of Animated Film.
At Warners deFaria worked as the president of Animation and Innovative Technology. He held that position for four years between 2013 and 2017, which included co-oversight of the studio’s Warner Animation Group. While at Warners, deFaria’s credits included Man of Steel,...

One of the most popular directors in the world, Zack Snyder is known for titles like “300”, “Watchmen”, and “Justice League”. His films revel in slow-motion action sequences, grand operatic themes, and a dark, brooding aesthetic.
Rebel Moon [Credit: Netflix]In 2023, Snyder brought his vision to the world of science fiction with “Rebel Moon” and then its sequel “The Scargiver.” While Rebel Moon promised a sprawling space adventure, critical reception was mixed at best. Given the underwhelming reviews of the duology, rumors had been running of the series shutting down. However, an industry insider recently debunked this particular rumor.

When asking viewers to list the qualities that best characterize a Zack Snyder film, ‘slow motion’ is probably going to be mentioned nine times out of ten. Rebel Moon, his 2023 American epic space opera flick, is probably well-known to those who enjoy visually stunning stories and epic action sequences. In addition, if you have watched the movie, you might have noticed the unusual use of ‘slow motion’.
Naturally, the renowned filmmaker is well aware of that, and during an interview with Wired, he discussed why and how he approaches those kinds of scenes and the kinds of rules he sets for himself and his team while filming.

Few modern blockbuster filmmakers draw as sharply divided reactions from critics and general audiences as Zack Snyder. For every review that praises Snyder’s remarkable ability to create grand, fantastical visual imagery on film, there will be another review criticizing the filmmaker’s overreliance on slow motion and weak plot points. Let us take a look at Snyder’s filmography, and the critical reaction to his works as determined by Rotten Tomatoes.
Dawn of the Dead (2004), Tomatometer: 76% Zombies attack in Dawn of the Dead
Zack Snyder‘s maiden effort as a director remains his most critically successful venture. In 2004, Zack Snyder presented the world with his dramatic reimagining of George Romero’s classic horror tale of a zombie invasion. The slick, visually compelling action scenes coupled with a strong screenplay by James Gunn help elevate the film above your run-of-the-mill horror remakes.
Dawn of the Dead is now available for streaming on Starz.

The world that Zack Snyder comes from is stuffed with lore-driven drama, mature sensibilities, and dark imagination. His work reflects those traits in abundance despite there being enough opportunities to go so completely campy in his artistic style that it would threaten even David Cronenberg’s reputation in the field. But Snyder doesn’t take the bait. He would rather be the master of dramatic storytelling that presents itself as an epic Greek tragedy than serve up a generic film that gets lost among the stampede of a thousand other films coming off of Hollywood’s factory lineup.

Young comic book fans might not realize the significance of the bloody battles and high drama shown in Frank Miller’s graphic novel, but watching Zack Snyder’s timeless epic 300 will never disappoint. But tracing back to Snyder’s 2006 landmark drama that broke new ground at the time of its release, the director revealed how he was initially rejected.

Reminiscing the work that went into 300, Zack Snyder recalled convincing Warner Bros. to greenlight the project after long-drawn hesitation. Using clever tricks to persuade WB, Snyder’s methods eventually made their way into Gerard Butler’s movie and turned it into a classic.

It’s been more than a decade since Zack Snyder released Gerard Butler’s 300 in 2006. Yet, the movie somehow feels iconic and timeless, which later shaped the cinematic landscape following its release.

Despite Zack Snyder’s significant success in Hollywood as a director, some critics argue that writing may not be his strongest skill. This criticism arose after Snyder attempted to create a Star Wars-inspired world called Rebel Moon, with the first part released the previous year and the second part debuted on the 19th of April. The reviews are officially in, and the consensus is clear, it’s just not clicking with the masses.

For years, Zack Snyder considered making a sequel to his breakthrough film, a remake of George A. Romero’s Dawn of the Dead. But following his packed schedule in the late-2000s and his commitment to the Dceu in the 2010s, a bigger and better sequel never came through.
However, following his departure from the DC universe, in 2021, Snyder was able to revisit the realm of zombies with Army of the Dead, a spiritual successor to the 2004 remake, thanks to Netflix. But unlike his first zombie release, Snyder assured fans that a sequel to the 2021 movie is on the cards, but it might take a while.

While Zack Snyder’s films have the director’s visual and narrative stamp all over them, this is also the reason for him being a pretty polarizing figure among viewers. While his work in the DC franchise as well as in films like 300 and Watchmen have earned him a massive fan base, there are also a significant number of viewers who have been severely critical of his cinematic choices.

It's not a controversial statement to say that Zack Snyder can be a polarizing filmmaker. His fans will defend him until they're blue in the face, while his detractors will liken him to cinematic cancer. Me? I'm more of a Snyder agnostic. I like some of his movies, I dislike others. But there's one positive thing I can say for sure: the man knows how to craft an image. Like many filmmakers of his generation, Snyder got his start in music videos, and that taught him how to create memorable, evocative imagery that looks, for lack of a better word, cool.
"Cool" seems to be Snyder's approach to his visuals in general — and you know what? He frequently succeeds. Even if you don't like the Snyder film you're watching, there's a good chance it'll still be loaded with cool images. Because of Snyder's penchant for visual fireworks, his movies often lend themselves to great trailers.

Tom Cruise is easily one of the biggest Hollywood stars of all time. Even though he has been in the industry for over four decades, he is still sought after by the best directors to star in their projects. The actor himself exerts his influence too, often to bring out the best in him, and his decisions have always paid off.
However, he does not always get his way, as Zack Snyder recently revealed. The director confessed that he wanted the Mission: Impossible actor to play a certain character in one of his films, but Cruise sought a different role.

Zack Snyder is all set to release the second part of his space opera magnum opus Rebel Moon. The Netflix film is the follow-up to last year’s Chapter 1 – A Child of Fire. The filmmaker has had a busy few years after helming large-scale blockbusters such as Army of the Dead and Justice League.
While Snyder has worked with many A-listers, he reportedly got a call from the legendary star Tom Cruise early in his career while he had just finished 300. The actor reportedly gave him a surprise call after the film opened big at the box office. Cruise was also reportedly Snyder’s first choice to play Ozymandias in his divisive Watchmen adaptation.

Rebel Moon – Part Two: The Scargiver is a movie directed by Zack Snyder starring Sofia Boutella. With Michiel Huisman, and Ed Skrein.
“Rebel Moon – Part Two: The Scargiver” takes us to the end of this tale of humble farmers and oppressive lords who demanded more than the townsfolk could provide, sparking a revolution.
This sequel presents us with a film divided into two clearly defined parts: the preparation for the battle and the battle itself. Both parts are captivating, filled with the exaggerated epic spirit of Zack Snyder – a style he’s unwaveringly maintained.
This film certainly won’t disappoint its fans, particularly those dedicated to Snyder’s ostentatious, unique, and dramatic style which is showcased in this intergalactic battle – yet another chapter in Snyder’s ongoing style guide.

“Rebel Moon — Part Two: The Scargiver” has been dead since last December, when the irredeemable first chapter of Zack Snyder’s hyper-derivative space opera was released “in theaters” and on Netflix to deafening silence. As I concluded my review at the time: “It’s hard to be even morbidly curious, let alone excited, about any future iterations or installments of a franchise so determined to remix a million things you’ve seen before into one thing you’ll wish you’d never seen at all.”
And so, much as I might have hoped that the second and more concentrated half of Snyder’s sci-fi “Seven Samurai” would somehow atone for the sins of its previous chapter, I wasn’t exactly shocked to discover that it lacks any trace of a pulse from the moment it starts. Five months in the morgue can have that effect. Be that as it may,...

Considered to be one of the best filmmakers of this generation, with several great projects in the past like 300, Man of Steel, Batman vs Superman: Dawn of Justice, and many more. However, the filmmaker has found himself in tricky waters as his recent film, Rebel Moon, a Netflix Original, was all set to add to his collection of box office hits but failed to convince its audience to do so.

The second part of Zack Snyder’s epic space opera Rebel Moon is all set to release on Netflix on April 19. A follow-up to last year’s Part 1: A Child of Fire, the second part titled Part 1: The Scargiver continues the journey of Kora and her fight against the Motherworld. The two-part epic came on the heels of Snyder’s last film with Netflix, Army of the Dead.
Zack Snyder has always tackled big-scale productions in his filmography. Beginning his career as a director with a remake of Dawn of the Dead, the filmmaker has made numerous blockbusters such as 300, Man of Steel, Zack Snyder’s Justice League, and Watchmen. While Snyder has a penchant for large-scale epics, he mentioned to FandomWire what kind of film he wanted to explore with his next project.

Since their debut in the 1980s, the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles have grown into a permanent fixture in popular culture. From their catchy theme song to the four anthropomorphic turtle brothers, Leonardo, Michelangelo, Donatello, and Raphael, the franchise has touched the hearts of fans of all ages.
And now, with the news of a reboot on the horizon, Paramount has confirmed to be developing a live-action, R-rated film based on the gripping comic book miniseries Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Last Ronin. So, who is in charge of guiding this vision?
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Last Ronin
To put it mildly, Zack Snyder seems like the perfect person to bring these Ninja heroes back to the big screen. His work on movies like 300 and Man of Steel mirrors his ability to create epic and thrilling battles, which would make him a great match for the turtles’ ninja skills and unique fighting styles.

The Color Purple director Blitz Bazawule’s next film will be Black Samurai, which Warner Bros. is backing. More on the film below.
CinemaCon is in full swing and our news desk has been busy penning story after story on the new exciting trailers and upcoming reboots and sequels. The latest exciting bit of news, albeit not directly from CinemaCon, involves Blitz Bazawule, the director behind The Color Purple.
As reported by Variety, Bazawule is working on a film about Yasuke, an African warrior who went on to become the very first Black Samurai.
The film is tentatively titled simply Black Samurai. Bazawule has already written the script and will be directing as well as producing. Warner Bros. beat out other studios and streamers in a bidding war. Warner Bros. also released Bazawule’s The Color Purple so there’s already an existing, and presumably good, relationship between the Ghanaian filmmaker and the studio.

Warner Bros is getting back in business with The Color Purple director Blitz Bazawule, with the studio landing rights to the tentatively titled Black Samurai with Bazawule directing. He wrote the pic on spec and will also produce under his Inward Gaze banner.
The story will follow Yasuke, an African warrior who served under Japanese daimyo Oda Nobunaga during the Sengoku period of samurai conflict in 16th century Japan. Sources tell Deadline four studios were in the mix for the project, but ultimately Warners came in with best offer on top of the relationship that began following his work on the recent musical adaptation of The Color Purple.
While a number of Yasuke projects have existed in the past, insiders say the original approach from the the filmmaker is being compared to groundbreaking films like 300 and Mad Max (the exact approach still under wraps).

Warner Bros. Lands ‘Black Samurai’ Movie From ‘The Color Purple’ Director Blitz Bazawule (Exclusive)
In a competitive situation, Warner Bros. has landed “The Color Purple” director Blitz Bazawule’s next project, which takes on the legendary Yasuke, an African warrior who became the first Black samurai.
Sources tell Variety that Warner Bros. beat out three other studios and streamers’ bids on the script, tentatively titled “Black Samurai,” which Bazawule wrote on spec and will direct and produce under his Inward Gaze banner.
After impressing the industry with his 2018 debut “The Burial of Kojo,” helming episodes of Ava DuVernay’s “Cherish the Day” and working with Beyoncé on her feature-length visual album “Black Is King,” Bazawule made his major studio debut with 2023’s “The Color Purple.”

CiniemaCon 2024 is upon us, and as we prepare for a deluge of news, previews, and commentary from the show floor, JoBlo’s Editor-in-Chief, Chris Bumbray, has spotted the official title for Ridley Scott’s upcoming Gladiator sequel. Forgoing subtitles, such as Gladiator: Blood on the Sand or Gladiator: Wicked Empire, Ridley Scott’s Gladiator sequel is titled Gladiator II. While the title is simple, it aptly includes the Roman numeral for two. I see what you did there, Mr. Scott. Sometimes, the obvious choice is also the correct one.
Gladiator 2 is one of the year’s hotly-anticipated films after Ridley Scott’s original, starring Russell Crowe, Joaquin Phoenix, and Connie Wilson, became a favorite among film buffs, with some calling it “magnificent,” “compelling,” and “richly enjoyable.” Near the film’s release, you couldn’t go more than a day without someone shouting, “Are you not entertained?” in your face,...

Even with solid material like the DC comics, Zack Snyder managed to bring his creative originality to the table. From Man Of Steel to Justice League: The Snyder Cut to Watchmen, the filmmaker succeeded in giving these narratives his own unique touch which were also characterized by an R rating that became synonymous with his films.

This epic space opera did not set the box office on fire but ended up becoming extremely popular on Netflix.

Gerard Butler has had a varied career so far, with him playing everything from action leads to rom-com love interests to a singing Phantom of the Opera. But, it has to be said that his most consistently entertaining output falls squarely into the action genre, and as far as Gerard Butler movies go, the action films will always be our favorites… so don’t expect to see The Ugly Truth on this list, but The Bounty Hunter might scrape by. Or maybe not. Let’s see how it goes:
300 (2006)
Perhaps The film that put Gerard Butler on the map for most people, particularly the action and comic book crowds. Butler is in peek physical form here, showing off his bod as the ultimate Spartan warrior and proving that he is indeed quite the leading man. His performance here is commanding, a bit in your face (in the right way), and exactly what the film needed.

Euro Gang Entertainment, the company launched last year by Hollywood veterans Gianni Nunnari and Simon Horsman (“Legacy: The True Story of the L.A. Lakers”) is ramping up operations in Italy through a partnership with Rome-based Alfred Film, the young shingle co-founded by experienced producers Roberto Amoroso and Maria Theresia Braun.
The Euro Gang deal with Alfred currently comprises three feature films and an English-language TV series that will shoot in Italy and elsewhere, according to a statement.
Founded in 2020, Alfred Film – which is named in homage to Alfred Hitchcock – is focused on commercially-driven quality projects such as their mainstream comedy “Tre di Troppo,” directed by and starring Italian comedy draw Fabio De Luigi, which grossed €4.7 million ($5 million) at the local box office and is the third highest-grossing Italian film of 2023.

Image created by Shutterstock Generate. Since its 2006 release, Zack Snyder’s war epic 300 has evolved from a box-office hit with mixed reviews to a full-fledged cult classic. There are obviously plenty of aspects of the movie that appeal to its fans, but one of the most striking would be the period costumes worn by the actors. Gerard Butler, who starred in the film as King Leonidas, admitted that, when shooting began, he wasn’t quite sure what to make of the look, although it eventually grew on him.

There's still a rebellion to be won and an Imperium to overcome, so Kora (Sofia Boutella) and her plucky band of fighters are readying for war in the new trailer for "Rebel Moon -- Part Two: The Scargiver." The second half of this sci-fi epic from director Zack Snyder is hitting Netflix just a few months after the first chapter, "Rebel Moon -- Part One: A Child of Fire," since the two films were originally envisioned as one (until the script's anticipated runtime became unwieldy) and were shot back-to-back.
"Movie one is about collecting the team, and movie two is about the war and why we fight," is how Snyder summed things up in a recent interview with SFX magazine, in which he also revealed that the four-month gap between the movies was too long for his liking. "I wanted them out, like, a month apart, because I just felt...

Since Cillian Murphy just became the first Irish-born actor to win the Best Actor Oscar, I thought it would be appropriate to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day with a list of the most notable Irish actors who have been honored by the Academy with either Oscar gold or a nomination.
1. Cillian Murphy
Murphy has played non-Irish roles so often and so well that some people may not realize or remember that he is Irish. His best Irish films include Breakfast on Pluto and The Wind that Shakes the Barley. And as noted above, he is the first Irish-born actor to take home an Academy Award in the Best Actor category.

Superstitious and cowardly, a criminal just watched Batman take down two of her armed and powerful comrades. Desperation drives her to take the one option left to her, the sole chance she has to escape the Batman’s wrath. Pointing a gun at the 10-month-old baby she and her colleagues kidnapped, the criminal shouts, “Back off, man! I’ll kill the kid.” When Batman does not respond, she yells louder, fearing that the Dark Knight doesn’t take her seriously. “Believe me man, I will! Believe me–”
Bearing the weapon he took from another criminal, Batman shoots the criminal, killing her instantly. He grabs the toddler before he can hit the ground and nestles the boy safely against his chest. “I believe you,” Batman intones.

Snyder discussed almost every facet of his career, his DC films, and more, but during the conversation, he also revealed that he’s been discussing the idea of a “300” series, presumably with Netflix, as they are essentially his new home.

As Zack Snyder puts it, Warner Bros. is not the biggest fan of him or his work. After cutting him out of the Dceu following the much-controversial Justice League debacle, Snyder revealed that the studio also put an end to one of his other projects. In 2021, Snyder planned to write a third 300 film for WB but ended up writing a historical gay love story. However, it was never greenlit by the studio.

Zack Snyder also vehemently defended 300 as many fans accused the Gerard Butler-starring film of homophobia. Snyder shared that the film, in some ways, was one of the gayest movies, with a male-centric story and vision to it.

By the look of it, Zack Snyder’s Gerard Butler-led 2007 action-adventure movie, 300, seems to be dominated by alpha males with violence radiating through their eyes. However, Snyder, co-writer and the director of the movie, feels differently.

While the director confirmed the episodic rerun of the popular action saga adding up to its universe, he explained that there might be some elements of homoeroticism. In its essence, Snyder emphasized that he would make what Frank Miller and Lynn Varley’s comic book dictates. Also, the director sees his 2007 movie to be one of the gayest movies ever made.

300 was a highly stylized retelling of the Battle of Thermopylae adapted from the comic by Frank Miller, and director Zack Snyder recently spoke about the movie on The Joe Rogan Experience podcast. Although historians have found plenty of evidence of homosexuality in Ancient Greece, 300 doesn’t really touch upon it. When asked if he ever thought “about putting a bunch of gay stuff in there,” Snyder replied that he was adapting a comic, not real history. However, the director did say that he’s been talking about a 300 series which would include more of those elements.
“It’s Frank’s book. I made what Frank wrote,” Snyder said. “And we’ve been talking about doing a series where I really wanted to introduce those concepts a lot more because I just feel like it’s important. If we go forward and do more in the ‘300’ universe,...

Zack Snyder is eyeing a “300” TV series with a subversive twist.
The “Rebel Moon” director revealed during an appearance on “The Joe Rogan Experience” podcast (in the below video) that following his 2007 film and its subsequent 2014 sequel “300: Rise of an Empire,” he wants to explore the historic cinematic universe by way of an episodic structure.
“All my movies are just a little bit weird, in a good way. ‘300,’ for all the like coolness of it as far as like ‘Yeah, let’s go fight,’ it’s still a weirdo movie,” Snyder said.
Podcast host Rogan asked the filmmaker, “Did you ever think about putting a bunch of gay stuff in there?” to which Snyder pointed to Frank Miller and Lynn Varley’s comic book that he adapted for “300.”

Zack Snyder is a prolific screenwriter, director, and producer who made his directorial debut with the 2004 movie, Dawn of the Dead. He came into the limelight with movies like 300 (2006) and Watchmen (2009), and then went on to establish the Dceu with movies like Man of Steel, Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, and the directorial cut of the 2017 release, Justice League. Recently, he sat with Joe Rogan for the latter’s podcast, The Joe Rogan Experience, where Snyder shared many stories about his career.

Much like any other long-running franchise, "Godzilla" is filled with a great many would-be projects that never managed to see the light of day. Perhaps no scrapped project featuring the King of the Monsters is more consequential than what is most commonly known as "Godzilla 3-D." The film, which was in development in the early 2000s, was going to be a short filmed for IMAX made with American audiences in mind. It never came to be, but development of the project indirectly led to the creation of the MonsterVerse franchise, which kicked off with 2014's "Godzilla" and is still going strong today.
So, how do we go from theatrically-released short film to blockbuster-sized, American-produced theatrical feature? It's an odd, messy journey, and one that is a little heartbreaking in some ways for both fans and one of the franchise's most unique directors. Namely, Yoshimitsu Banno, who helmed 1971's "Godzilla vs. Hedorah,...

The movies are listed in a new section on the service labeled “Great Movies on Apple TV+” — however, the service notes, these are available for a “limited time.

The move could signal a shift in strategy by Apple to finally incorporate more library titles into its catalog.
Is Apple TV+ finally getting non-original titles in its streaming library? Yes, at least temporarily, at any rate, as the streamer has added a total of 51 movies to its streaming catalog, spanning every genre and including some true blockbusters. Apple stresses that these titles will only be available for a limited time, but it could be providing a glimpse into its own future with the additions. Having long focused on high-quality originals without the studio archives or licensing library of its competitors, Apple V+ has been a somewhat different type of streamer since it launched in November 2019.
Titles available on Apple TV+ include “Star Trek,” “Kill Bill,” “Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom,” “300” and more. Each movie will only be available on the streamer until March or April. Apple has resisted offering library titles before,...

Kavita Chaudhary, Better Known As Lalita Ji From Surf Ads & Kalyani From Udaan, Passed Away (Picture Credit: Wikimedia & IMDb)
It was in 1984 that Lalita Ji debuted on our TV screens. Who Lalita Ji you ask? The same woman who taught us, “Surf ki kharidari mein samajhdari hai.” The woman was later known as Ips Officer Kalyani Singh from Doordarshan’s television series Udaan. Kavita Chaudhary breathed her last on February 15, 2024. She died of a heart attack on Thursday, 8.30 pm, and the funeral took place on Friday.
Kavita Ji revolutionized Indian TV with the series Udaan, which she directed and wrote as well. The series was inspired by her elder sister, Kavita Chaudhary, who was the second female Ips officer in the country after Kiran Bedi.
However, much before Udaan, Kavita Chauhary revolutionized the Indian brand Surf and helped it gain a position in the market, which was dominated by Nirma.

50 Cent became as successful of a producer as he was a rapper thanks to creating the Power universe. But initially, being a producer proved to be a bit less lucrative than his other business endeavors.

Power has become the Starz network’s biggest program, and has spawned a successful franchise. Since the conclusion of the original, the series has since spun-off into several other popular movies, expanding its lore. 50 Cent originated the idea after his connections got him in a room with television producer Courtney Kemp.
“This project actually started in the Soho House with me and Mark Canton. Mark is an actual producer of 300,” he once told Vibe. “He’s brought you so many hits I can run through a line…Bad Boys, The Bone Collector, Krush Groove, the Prince movies, Purple Rain…...
