Rebel Moon is taking cues from Star Wars and Dune.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Zack Snyder's Rebel Moon is a rare massive-budget original sci-fi epic to get funding from a modern studio landscape, but it is still taking its influences from many popular sci-fi & fantasy franchises. While Rebel Moon isn't based on a preexisting IP, Snyder is still riffing on tropes and imagery that have been popularized by other films, TV shows, novels, and video games.
9 Warhammer 40k Warhammer 40,000 is the most popular miniature wargame in the world, and it shares a similar military aesthetic to Rebel Moon. This aesthetic is right in Snyder's wheelhouse as his previous films, like Sucker Punch, also drew inspiration from Warhammer. Ironically enough, Snyder's Superman, Henry Cavill, is a massive Warhammer fan and is independently developing a Warhammer show for Amazon Prime.
7 The Witcher As a franchise, The Witcher has infiltrated just about every popular medium. First published as a series of books, then as award-winning video games, and now a hit Netflix show, The Witcher has had its influence felt almost everywhere. Rebel Moon will have a similar blend of mysticism and violence, as that has been a staple throughout Snyder's filmography. However, there are also several shots in the trailer that feel reminiscent of The Witcher imagery.
5 The Matrix The breakout success of the Wachowskis and The Matrix paved the way for Snyder's entire career. Their innovative blend of action, sci-fi, and stylish filmmaking directly led to filmmakers like Snyder, and the genres he inhabits. With themes of revolution, control, and authority, it stands to reason that The Matrix will continue to influence Snyder as he makes his sci-fi epic.
