instead of saying he wants to do six movies why doesn't he just focus on the ones that he is doing. I can't imagine something happening like Netflix doesn't follow through with his plans and he starts crying about his vision wasn't finished and a small group of people lobby for the Rebel cut.
His head is way to big. Great ideas but terrible execution. If it's a hit thats great but if not on to the next.
That’s a complete misunderstanding of what happened with Rebel Moon, lol. That’s not what happened at all.
He pitched an R-rated “Heavy Metal” long form movie that deconstructs the sci-fi space opera (i.e., Star Wars). Netflix said fine, we’ll let you make that. But give us also PG13 2 hour cuts that work better for ad supported streaming platforms such as their own ad supported plan and presumably for possible licensing to other ad supported services such as Amazon Prime, Pluto, and Tubi. Because that’s where streaming is making its money, is with the cheaper ad supported platforms. They make way more money from ads than premium subscriptions.
But anyway, no one complained that there was no director’s cut, there was no fan lobbying to “release the Rebel Moon director’s cut,” etc. He filmed both versions simultaneously because that was the arrangement with Netflix. But to be clear it was Netflix that insisted on him making also the shorter PG13 cuts. That was never Zack’s idea. But he was like fine, I’ll do that if that’s what’s required to make the movie he actually wanted to make.
