Actor Ray Fisher, known for his collaboration with director Zack Snyder, recently expressed his excitement about upcoming feature Rebel Moon on social media.
In a tweet, Fisher shared that he had seen footage of the movie and hyped it up before its December release. He mentioned that Rebel Moon would revolutionise the way fans perceive sci-fi films and even teased cosplayers, hinting that they had yet to witness the full extent of the amazing costumes.
"Saw some footage from a certain space epic last night…the sci-fi game is about to CHANGE"
"Get ready cosplayers—y’all are gonna feast for decades!!!"
Fisher plays the character Darrian Bloodaxe in Rebel Moon, a warrior who joins Sofia Boutella's Kora in her quest to protect the moon of Veldt and find personal redemption.
Snyder drew inspiration from Akira Kurosawa's Seven Samurai for Rebel Moon. The film has been described as a realization of Snyder's unrestrained imagination.
Recently, Netflix released a behind-the-scenes featurette showcasing the costume designs, including gladiator outfits worn by Staz Nair's Tarak and swordmaster clothing worn by Doona Bae's Nemesis. The award-winning Stephanie Portnoy Porter, known for her work in Prey, Justice League, Hunger Games, and X-Men: Apocalypse, is responsible for the costume design in Rebel Moon.
The film's budget reflects its epic proportions, reportedly standing at $166 million for two features, making it one of Netflix's biggest productions.
