    From Your Name@21:1/5 to All on Wed Jul 7 12:17:48 2021
    Based on just the very limited details below, this sounds like a
    gender-swapped rip-off of the old John-Boy Walton movie "Battle Beyond
    the Stars".

    Zack Snyder's Sci-Fi Adventure Rebel Moon Lands at Netflix
    ----------------------------------------------------------
    Zack Snyder's partnership with Netflix continues to be
    exciting. Snyder's next film will also land at the
    streamer and will be a sci-fi fantasy title called Rebel
    Moon.

    The Hollywood Reporter says that the film will be
    co-written by Snyder, who will also direct and produce
    the project. Army of the Dead screenwriter Shay Hatten
    and 300 co-writer Kurt Johnstad are also on board for
    the film.

    "The story is set in motion when a peaceful colony on the
    edge of the galaxy is threatened by the armies of a
    tyrannical regent named Balisarius," says THR of the
    film's plot. "Desperate people dispatch a young woman
    with a mysterious past to seek out warriors from
    neighboring planets to help them make a stand."

    Snyder cites his influences for the film as Star Wars and
    Akira Kurosawa.

    "It's my love of sci-fi and a giant adventure," says
    Snyder. "My hope is that this also becomes a massive IP
    and a universe that can be built out. I've spent the last
    two or three years building out this universe. Every
    corner has to be painted in. I've been doing designs,
    constantly drawing and really cultivating its fertile
    ground to make this world fully realized."

    Helping produce the film is Snyder's wife and producing
    partner Deborah Snyder. Other producers include Wesley
    Coller, plus Grand Electric's Eric Newman and Sarah Bowen.

    I just read elsewhere that this is a retooling of a "Seven Samurai"
    inspired Star Wars movie Snyder wanted to make.
