Zack Snyder

The first trailer for Rebel Moon: The Scargiver quietly dropped on Christmas Day, but even with 1 million views and counting, it’s unclear if Netflix got a prized gift in its stocking or lump of coal.

While Zack Snyder’s Rebel Moon has been embattled since its debut, the creative’s signature move is about to be invoked on the sci-fi newcomer, and this might be the most radical application of this creative choice yet.

Despite The Flash being almost a year removed from its disappointing theatrical debut, the much-embattled DCEU project has managed to take yet another loss in the wake of a decision to cancel one merchandise item based on the film.

Greetings, Polygon readers! Each week, we round up the most notable new releases to streaming and VOD, highlighting the biggest and best new movies for you to watch at home.

Last December’s Rebel Moon Part One: A Child of Firewas a paint-by-numbers space opera filled in with Zack Snyder’s maximalist colors. Pitched as “Seven Samurai but make it Star Wars” (literally, to Lucasfilm), the finished product was at best a violent B-movie mashup and at worst an expensive Asylum-esque mockbuster. Not a great movie, but a little promising? Its most glaring omission: an ending. After two hours of hero Kora (Sofia Boutella) wrangling a crew to defend a farming planet from Imperium forces, the showdown didn’t actually go down; Snyder held on to the payoff for Part Two: The Scargiver.

If you're looking for something new to watch this weekend, you're in luck: whether you're in the mood for a movie night or a new binge-watch, Netflix, Disney Plus, Hulu, and more are stacked with new releases.

Zack Snyder's Rebel Moon has found a home on Netflix as a two part sci-fi epic – but the story seems far from over, with sprawling mythology and massive worldbuilding leaving the way wide open for more stories.

We’ve been burnt a few times already but, yes, it appears Star Trek 4 is aiming to get back on track – thanks to a new creative hire.

Summer blockbuster is near, and if you need proof look no further than the avalanche of trailers that came out this week. From House of the Dragon and Furiosato Beetlejuice 2 and a terrifically ill-conceived children’s book adaptation, it seems like every studio wanted to be out in force advertising summer wares this week.

A confused Skyrim player online has posted footage of a strange bug that appears to put them in slow-motion while using certain moves in combat. New Skyrim glitches are still being found all the time, but this new discovery is particularly hilarious.

Aquaman 2'sbox office gross hit a milestone that no one expected it to reach as it nears the completion of its Snyderverse-ending theatrical run.

One would think that Warner Bros. Discovery and DC would sour on the Suicide Squad franchise as a whole. Yet, here we are, with the imminent release of Rocksteady Studios’ Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League video game around the corner, and not a single person gives a damn about it. The controversy surrounding the microtransactions and live service elements resulted in the delay of the game, and now the early press previews have felt like Harley Quinn herself took a mallet to the title. In short, this game looks to be dead on arrival.

The have been revealed for Zack Snyder’s space opera movie.

Zack Snyder has always been obsessed with heroes. And whether it’s the unlikely heroes of Rebel Moon and Army of the Dead or his stint in the DC Universe, that obsession always comes out in his work.

It’s available for digital rental or purchase on Prime Video (or you can find it on YouTube).

Zack Snyder was not running into the Justice League problem with his new Netflix movie Rebel Moon. From the beginning, the plan wasalways to cut two different versions of the film: a PG-13 cut for its premiere release that could play to a larger audience, and an R-rated cut that would offer a more unfiltered Snyder-y take on the sci-fi fantasy saga. Was it a content ploy? A new mode for studios to take with filmmakers to avoid warring in the edit room? Both?

Another Gamescom Opening Night Live has gone off with only one hitch, preceding a week of on-site demos from developers in Cologne, Germany. Hosted by Geoff Keighley, the ONL show was a two hour event largely focused on gameplay and update trailers for already-announced or released games.

If you're reading this page, you probably already know that Gamescom Opening Night Live 2023 took place on Tuesday night, kicking off the Cologne-based conference for another year.

In what’s become an end-of-summer bookend on the game release calendar, Gamescom’s Opening Night Live showcase is once again here to highlight games coming your way in the near future. Hosted by Geoff Keighley, who introduced himself as “the creator of The Game Awards,” the stream primarily focused on new or first looks at previously announced games like Mortal Kombat 1, Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty, and the next season of Diablo 4, along with a few surprises.

As Geoff Keighley continues to use his gaming shows to parade his menagerie of film star friends, this year's sacrifice was Batman vs Superman director Zack Snyder, who was mainly wheeled out at tonight's Gamescom Opening Night Live show to promote his new pair of sci-fi Netflix films - which, oh, by the way, also have a game attached to them. And thus, a new Snyderverse is born. Not that they showed us said game, mind, or really told us anything about it. It will be set after both Rebel Moon films, though, so you better get watching if you want to know what the hell is going on. Honestly, did we learn nothing from Final Fantasy 15's failed multimedia project mistakes?

During the opening conference of Gamescom 2023, director Zack Snyder detailed more information about the video game that’s in the works from developer Super Evil Megacorp.

Zack Snyder’s sci-fi epic Rebel Moon got its biggest trailer ever at Gamescom 2023.

Part one of Rebel Moon is set for release on Dec. 22.

From the moment Zack Snyder’s ambitious Netflix space opera Rebel Moon was first announced, one aspect of its backstory has earned more attention than anything else: The film began as a Star Wars pitch.

If you're keenly awaiting next month's launch of Starfield, Bethesda's new open-world sci-fi RPG, you can skip the new trailer. It's one of those live-action affairs with CG up the wazoo, complete with an 'epic' cover of Elton John's Rocket Man that would bring a tear to the eye of Zack Snyder*, and only Zack Snyder. It does not show the game at all, nor does it capture the thrill of escaping our Earthly bonds to find a load of grey rocks just like we have at home. But you can watch the trailer below.
