Did Zack have the good for the R-rated versions?
Rebel Moon — The Director's Cut | Official Red Band Trailer | Netflix
Zack Snyder spent years quietly hoarding his director's cut of Justice League and activating the #ReleasetheSnyderCut hive before Warner Bros., in need of content for its grand HBO Max experiment, threw him a few million to finish the job. The four hour long finished product was… definitely better than the 2017 theatrical release! This gave the director some confidence that Snyder Way in the future should be WAY. So there might be hope for Snyder's two big releases in August 2024: Chapter One: Chalice of Blood and Chapter Two: Curse of Forgiveness — the extended, uncut versions of his two Rebel Moon films.
Netflix announced Tuesday that starting Aug. 2, all willing participants will be able to "dive further into the mythology and madness of Zack Snyder's epic sci-fi saga in the wickedly sexier, bloodier world of Rebel Moon" when the two directors' cuts. at the same time get to the platform. The new edits were always part of the plan; while Netflix still demanded two PG-13 films from the filmmaker, Snyder negotiated two R-rated versions to premiere at a later date – four films for the price of two! During the launch of the original first film, Rebel Moon: Part One — A Child of Fire, Snyder told Polygon that the changes weren't all about blood and guts. "It's almost like the story takes place in a slightly different dimension than this movie that's coming out," he said.
The new titles illustrate that level of dramatic change. You see, the first movies were parts and the new movies are chapters. Chalice of Blood isn't your grandfather's A Child of Fire, you dig?
