Exciting news coming out of Gamescom 2023. And maybe to some, pretty unexpected, as we have confirmation from Opening Night Live that the Zack Snyder’s ‘Rebel Moon’ will be the first of his movies adapted into a video game. Snyder fans will no doubt be surprised by this given his previous works which many would have no doubt loved to have seen in game format.
Why was Rebel Moon at Gamescom 2023?
Following the trailer for Rebel Moon Part One: A Child of Fire, there was a lot of comments banded about but one word that many seem to use was ‘epic’. And with the first part premiering on Netflix on 22 December, fans are rightly excited about the new sci-fi thriller which could possibly give Dune: Part 2 a run for its money if some of the comments from fans are anything to go by;
“#RebelMoon looks pretty rad. Can’t wait!”
“THIS NEEDS TO BE RELEASED THEATRICALLY WORLDWIDE! #RebelMoon #RebelMoonInCinemasWorldWide.”
“#RebelMoon looks amazing. It’s so fun that it’s basically a modern Star Wars knockoff and it seems high quality! Can’t wait to watch.”
Watching the trailer back, it’s hard to discern what we are is seeing and it is said that the trailer itself comprises of both parts of the film, so we don’t know which scenes will feature in each part. Given that it was filmed back to back, it is maybe no surprise with this and it this was certainly planned given the sheer scale of the project.
Certainly looking at the the footage we can identify influences pulled from many classics, such Akira Kurisawa’s Seven Samurai, the (aforementioned) Star Wars saga and some shots can certainly liken to the modern day remake of Dune.
