Are you ready for the conversation to begin about the Snyder Cut of the Snyder Cut of the Snyder Cut of "Rebel Moon?" Because we’re about to head back into those waters! In 2024 Zack Snyder released two parts of an epic science-fiction saga titled "Rebel Moon." The films took inspiration for Kurosawa, as well as "Star Wars" (which also borrowed heavily from Kurosawa), as it told the story of the farming planet of Veldt hiring mercenaries to push back against the dominant forces of The Imperium. Even before "Rebel Moon" arrived in the Netflix platform, Snyder made it clear that he had Director’s Cuts of both "Rebel Moon" films, which are now going to be made available to those with a Netflix subscription beginning on August 2. But now Snyder says he even trimmed the Director’s Cuts… with good reason.
As part of his deal with Netflix, Zack Snyder was able to deliver two versions of the "Rebel Moon" story, one that was PG-13 and arguably more commercial. And the other that was the totality of Snyder’s vision for the epic story. The director’s cuts of "Rebel Moon" would be sexier, more violent, but also expand on several of the characters in the “theatrical” cut – which didn’t get that much of a theatrical release, but I digress. However, while appearing on CinemaBlend’s official ReelBlend podcast, Snyder teased an NC-17 version of "Rebel Moon" that had to be trimmed even more. Release the Snyder Cut of the Snyder Cut!

00:00There was a couple of cuts I had to make to that sequence to get it to the R rating from
00:04the, I would assume the NC-17 because there was, it was NC-17 for quite a while.
00:09And then we had to really, was it a few less wax to the head?
00:13A few less wax, a little less brains that he dug out.
00:18When you get the NC-17 version and you know, you have to cut it down for R, do you keep
00:23the NC-17 version of yourself?
00:25Like, or for yourself, is there like a computer in your house or you have the NC-17?
00:29That's cool, that's cool.
00:30But no, I mean, yeah, it's somewhere, but no, I did have a conversation with Netflix about
00:36whether or not that was a possibility.
00:39And they were like, we really want it to be R.
00:41And I was like, all right, it's fair.
00:42I did say I would give you an R rated cut.
00:44Oh, you are good for the NC-17 version?
00:47No, I asked Netflix if they were cool with the NC-17 and they were like, no, we're not.
00:55Zach, this year?
00:56Actually, because I had agreed, Debbie was like, you did agree that it would be R rated.
01:01And I said, yeah, yeah, yeah.
01:02A deal's a deal.
