Netflix unveils trailer and release dates for Zack Snyder’s 'Star Wars'-inspired epic, 'Rebel Moon'

Zack Snyder is no stranger to genre-hopping. He has explored zombies, superheroes, owls, and female empowerment in his diverse filmography. Now, he ventures into a new territory: science fiction. Snyder’s ambitious space opera was a tough pitch. It started as a Star Wars spin-off inspired by Seven Samurai, but without the familiar characters, it was a tough sell for Lucasfilm. Undeterred, Snyder brought his 172-page script to Netflix, where it became a two-part epic: Rebel Moon: Part One — A Child of Fire and Rebel Moon: Part Two — The Scargiver. And the first movie’s trailer and the release dates for both parts have just been revealed.

Netflix releases trailer for 'Army of the Dead' prequel 'Army of Thieves'

If you're wondering what the life of the safe-cracker Ludwig Dieter from the Netflix zombie film Army of the Dead was like, we're getting the prequel soon, and now we have a first look at Zack Snyder's Army of Thieves. Matthias Schweighöfer's Ludwig is seen being recruited in the trailer by Gwendoline, played by Game of Thrones' Nathalie Emmanuel, to pull off a major heist.

The film is still set in the post-outbreak world, but it looks like the focus this time is more on the heist than dealing with zombies while they try to pull off the heist. It still looks like it's action-packed and fun, with gunfights and car chases. And a gigantic safe for Ludwig to crack. Army of Thieves is expected to stream on Netflix this fall.
