The "Zack Snyder's Justice League" designs showcase many of the traditional aspects of Green Lantern as his various forms have been displayed in DC Comics. This includes his green mask, lantern chest symbol, and variations that showcase the character in several different versions of his iconic green and black suit. "Hopefully, James Gunn reuses this design for his DCU Hal Jordan," wrote @zillauniverse. While the user may not have meant to provoke with their response, it is interesting to note that these…

While 2021's Army of the Dead had a limited theatrical release before its arrival on Netflix, his newest, Rebel Moon - Part One: A Child of Fire, went straight to the streamer, and seems to be reaping the rewards of that decision.IMDb Changes Rating System After Little Mermaid Review-Bombed | Future TechThe sci-fi…

Get our free weekly email for all the latest cinematic news from our film critic Clarisse LoughreyGet our The Life Cinematic email for freeWith Rebel Moon – Part One: A Child of Fire, Zack Snyder promised a more “mature” take on Star Wars. Unfortunately, it’s more “Star Wars for people who think those movies are too political and don’t feature enough sexual violence”. The director’s two-part Netflix epic (Part Two: The Scargiver will release in April of next year) stems directly from an old pitch made to Kathleen Kennedy…

Zack Snyder pitched Rebel Moon as a marriage of Seven Samurai and Star Wars, which is a bit like trying to sell your new invention as the wheel meets sliced bread. The former channeled all of Akira Kurosawa’s estimable powers in blocking, lighting and composition for battles that still merit the nearly-exhausted descriptor of “epic”; the latter was a once-in-a-millennium Big Bang of raw movie stardom, snappy dialogue and transportive production design that turned a mid-budget space oddity into a culture-straddling…

Originally conceived as a Snyder original idea that pivoted to a Star Wars film and is now back to a space Snyderverse of his own, the Netflix two-partner has followed up its visual feast of a trailer with new character posters. The Rebel Moon Universe is led by Sofia Boutella as Kora, a…

With almost a full month to go before it finally becomes a thing you can watch, a new trailer was shown at the streamer’s Geeked Week event, and it continues to look like the biggest sci-fi film you’ll likely see this year.Rebel Moon - Part One: A Child of Fire | Official Trailer | NetflixThe film stars Sofia Boutella as Kora, a former soldier of the Imperium army who’s lived…

It was only the other day when the latest chapter in the never-ending SnyderVerse conspiracy was written, with supporters up in arms that the first full-length trailer for Zack Snyder’s Justice League had been removed from Max’s official YouTube channel despite being its most-watched video. Of course, nobody cared to mention that the second full-length promo and a behind the scenes featurette remained exactly where they were, although none of the die-hard fanatics bought into Warner Bros.’ “music licensing issue”…

Regardless of how you feel about him on a persona or professional level, one thing that’s been clear for decades is that actors absolutely love working with Zack Snyder, seeing as virtually every single one of his highest-profile collaborators has nothing but the highest of praise for him as a human being and filmmaker. On the other side of the coin, though, it would be an understatement to say that a certain subset of his supporters border on the fanatical, with the rampant desire to tear down everything DC has done in…
