‘Rebel Moon’ tells the story of a peaceful agrarian colony on the outskirts of the galaxy that is threatened by the armies of the Imperium and its dark leader, the tyrannical Regent Balisarius.

Snyder, who previously directed ‘Army of the Dead‘ for Netflix, co-wrote the script for ‘Rebel Moon’ with Shay Hatten and Kurt Johnstad, adapting it from his story written with Johnstad.
The filmmaker and his wife Deborah Snyder have produced the project through their banner The Stone Quarry, along with Eric Newman for Grand Electric.
