Netflix has announced the release date of the sci-fi thriller "Rebel Moon"
It stars Charlie Hunnam and Sofia Boutella in the lead roles.
Netflix's Rebel Moon will hit theaters on December 22nd. A new creation by Zack Snyder is one of 49 films that will be available on the streaming service this year.
The plot of "Rebel Moon" follows a mysterious young woman and several interplanetary warriors fighting a cosmic tyrant dictator. The film stars Sofia Boutella, Charlie Hunnam, Djimon Hounsou, Ray Fisher, Bae Doon-na, Jena Malone and others.
Observers believe that the December premiere of Snyder's sci-fi action movie will serve as a consolation for Star Wars fans who will not see anything new from the acclaimed franchise during this period of time. Ironically, the director of Army of the Dead originally pitched the idea for his film to Lucasfilm and positioned it as similar to Star Wars, but the studio did not understand this humor and refused to pitch Snyder.
