Decoding the scripts and secret messages in Rebel Moon
Every time I see a fictional alphabet, I simply can’t help but try to decode it, so after watching Rebel Moon, that’s exactly what I did.
Here’s how I decoded two scripts and three hidden messages (including one Zack Snyder challenged fans to find) in less than 3 days… and loved every minute of it!
Part 1: The companion guide and the New Imperium font
In the official companion guide, some words are written in what has been referred to as the “New Imperium font”. Thankfully, the website makes the task of decoding them fairly simple since they’re almost all transliterated into Latin script. See, in the screenshots below, the symbols under the word “Jimmys” simply mean “Jimmys”, etc.
In the guide, you can find 21 letters, 7 numbers, and 3 punctuation marks. After watching the movie a second time in search of more characters, I also found the letter W and 2 more (unidentified) numbers. So here is what I knew, so far, of the New Imperium font:
Aside from those direct translations, there were also four series of isolated symbols whose meaning wasn’t as obvious... If you want to know where to find them, they are hidden in the sections about the Jimmys, Exoskeletal Restraints, Bennu, and Pollux. Here is what they look like:
Fortunately, once you’ve found all the letters available on the website, decoding those mysterious words becomes quite easy. They mean:
things
cannot hold
the centre
fall apart;
After a quick research, I found that these words were from a 1919 poem by William Butler Yeats, “The Second Coming”, and specifically the third verse:
Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold
I was happy I had managed to decode the guide and find this Easter egg, but at this point, I wasn’t sure what it meant... As I was soon to discover, though, it would turn out to be decisive for decoding another alphabet and two more secrets messages.
