Hey there movie buffs! Have you heard the latest scoop from Hollywood? Yep, you guessed it! The news revolves around the big gun, Zack Snyder known for his visual spectacle, the ‘Rebel Moon’ series. But guess what? Snyder is aiming at something different now.
Zack Snyder’s Detour into Smaller-Scale Films
After dazzling us with two mega ‘Rebel Moon’ films, Snyder is ready to switch lanes. He’s tired of the eye-popping VFX and wants to take a breather with less visually heavy films. That’s right! He’s setting his eyes on a project inside the UFC realm. Exciting, isn’t it?
But he isn’t going in alone. Baylin, the genius behind ‘King Richard,’ is joining him to co-write the screenplay. Snyder is playing things close to the chest, revealing just enough to keep us guessing.
UFC Takes Centre Stage, Plus Some Exotic Locations
Good news for UFC enthusiasts! The organization, along with its President Dana White, is actively part of this venture. So brace yourself for some genuine, adrenaline-fueled UFC moments. And it gets better with the locations—Riyadh in Saudi Arabia and Vegas, the gambler’s haven.
Adam Driver as the Protagonist?
Let’s discuss the possible star of the show. Snyder might sign up none other than the talented Adam Driver to play the lead role. Currently, Driver is busy with an off-Broadway play, and his movie schedule seems open, apart from a rumored Michael Mann project. So, things look hopeful, but let’s not jump the gun just yet.
His Last Non-VFX Movie was 17 Years Ago!
This isn’t Snyder’s first shot at a movie without a tech-loaded script. You might remember his 2004 movie, ‘Dawn of the Dead’, which hit the screens without a VFX army. So it’s been a while, but he’s no stranger to such ventures. Yes, a UFC movie might not match the scale of his earlier films, but it’s ambitious nonetheless.
Is the ‘Rebel Moon’ Trilogy on Hold?
Earlier this year, Snyder dropped hints about a possible third segment to the ‘Rebel Moon’ series. But the subdued response to the first two parts might have made him rethink. Even Netflix, known for betting high on bold projects, may hesitate to approve another sequel.
Snyder’s transition from large-scale productions to a ‘smaller’ one has us all intrigued. And by smaller, we mean by Snyder’s standards. A UFC project is no small feat! We might not see a ‘Rebel Moon’ scale production, but it’s definitely an adventure to anticipate. What do you think? As excited as I am? I bet you are! Let’s keep our eyes peeled for more updates.
