Zack Snyder’s Rebel Moon To Begin Filming Early Next Year

Zack Snyder’s upcoming epic sci-fi fantasy, Rebel Moon, will reportedly begin filming in March 2022 on location in Inyo County, USA.

The Netflix original film will take the viewers to faraway galaxies in a Star Wars-esque tale.

As reported by Production Weekly , the project will be in production from March 1 to August 31, 2022.

The filming location, Inyo County, California, has been the spot for many big productions in the past, including Death Valley National Park for Star Wars: A New Hope and Star Wars: The Return of the Jedi.

However, the location isn’t the only common thing the film has with the Star Wars franchise. While talking to The Hollywood Reporter about the project’s primary inspirations back in July, Snyder said,

This is me growing up as an Akira Kurosawa fan, a Star Wars fan. It’s my love of sci-fi and a giant adventure. My hope is that this also becomes a massive IP and a universe that can be built out.

Rebel Moon was originally a ‘mature’ Star Wars pitch made by Snyder a decade ago but was stuck in limbo since Disney’s acquisition of Lucasfilm in 2012.

The film is “set in motion when a peaceful colony on the edge of the galaxy is threatened by the armies of a tyrannical regent named Balisarius.

Desperate, the colonists dispatch a young woman with a mysterious past to seek out warriors from neighboring planets to help them make a stand.”

Ever since Snyder has been granted complete creative control at Netflix, the filmmaker has been pumping out stories rapidly to build franchises and create bigger IPs for the streaming platform.

Hot on the heels of Army of the Dead, Snyder is co-writing the script with screenwriters Shay Hatten and Kurt Johnstad. Narcos’ Eric Newman will produce the flick with Wesley Coller, Zack and Deborah Snyder.

Snyder and Newman considered making a series out of it but eventually decided a feature film was a better choice.

Rebel Moon already scouting locations shouldn’t come as a surprise as Snyder had been working on the project on the side for too long and said that it was “pretty far along.”

Netflix hasn’t yet announced the release date for Rebel Moon. However, considering that it’ll wrap up production by the end of August, it can probably be expected to premiere sometime in early 2023.
