Zack Snyder has confirmed that his Rebel Moon films are receiving director’s cuts, and they’re arriving soon – find out more below.

Yesterday (June 11), Snyder took to social media to announce that both director’s cuts will be arriving on Netflix on August 2. Apart from the extended cuts, the director’s cuts also come with new, more gory titles: Chapter One: Chalice of Blood and Chapter Two: Curse of Forgiveness.

The director’s cuts have been described as “viciously sexier, bloodier” versions of the existing films. Snyder previously revealed that the director’s cuts will rated R, and will be significantly longer, and a lot more different from the PG versions. “It’s a full hour longer. It’s not just slightly different or a little bit more. There are big chunks of the movie that are different.”

“This was the first time I had ever been able to make a movie and plan for that,” Snyder said. “The cut was not me fighting with them like, ‘Okay, you won’t do what I want. Can I at least release it on DVD?’ It was us going together.”

Rebel Moon’s cast is led by Sofia Boutella as fearsome warrior Kora, alongside Charlie Hunnam, Michiel Huisman, Djimon Hounsou, Doona Bae, Ray Fisher, Cleopatra Coleman, Jena Malone, Ed Skrein, Fra Fee and Anthony Hopkins, who plays an android on a journey of self-discovery.
