Zack Snyder is heading into the stars for sci-fi epic #RebelMoon! Go behind the scenes of the two-part sci-fi film that will launch an entire galaxy of stories with the bold filmmaker. Read EW’s new cover story.
Note: Even though he was on the list, I skipped over Rob Wiethoff. While it’d be cool to have the original VA reprise the role, Rob is apparently semi-retired from acting. Also, knowing Hollywood, he’d probably just have a cameo/minor role as a different character anyways, especially since he doesn’t look like John Marston and the studio would want an A/B-list actor in the role. Same thing happened with Troy and Ashley in HBO’s “The Last of Us”.
Anthony Hopkins has joined the cast of Rebel Moon. Hopkins will voice of Jimmy, a sentient JC 1435 battle robot and one-time defender of the now-slain king. Hopkins joins the previously cast Sofia Boutella, Charlie Hunnam, Djimon Hounsou, Ed Skrein, Michael Huisman, Doona Bae, Ray Fisher, Cleopatra Coleman, Staz Nair, Cary Elwes, Alfonso Herrera, Stuart Martin, Fra Free, Corey Stoll, Jena Malone, Rhian Rhees, E. Duffy, Charlotte Maggi, and Sky Yang. Zack Snyder is directing from a screenplay by Snyder, Shay Hatten, and Kurt Johnstad.
The logline for Rebel Moon reads “When a peaceful colony on the edge of the galaxy finds itself threatened by the armies of the tyrannical Regent Balisarius, they dispatch a young woman with a mysterious past to seek out warriors from neighboring planets to help them take a stand.”
