SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT As the Rebel Moon release date inches ever closer, producers Deborah Snyder and Eric Newman reveal to SlashFilm that they were incredibly relieved when Lucasfilm rejected Snyder's pitch, with both feeling that the project would be better suited as an original piece of IP. Check out their comments below:
Deborah Snyder: "Once, it was a Star Wars film, and I never wanted it to be. I remember, I said to Zack, 'I just feel like your hands are going to be tied so much in what that IP is,' even though it kind of lived outside of it. So I was kind of happy when that fell apart, because I always felt like it was better.
"We learned so much with all our years working with the superheroes and creating those worlds, and to do something now that's wholly original — we got to do a little bit of that in the world of zombies, and with Las Vegas, but to do something that is fantastical, we say it's a science fantasy more than science fiction, and to take all those skills that Zack has been honing, and to do something in this space, just seemed really exciting.
Eric Newman: "I remember [Zack] calling me at some point, and this has got to be 15 years ago, saying, 'I'm thinking of doing Seven Jedi, in the Star Wars universe.' And I was like, 'Oh, that's a cool idea.' [...] Then, a few years later, he calls me and goes, 'You know, I think it could be a television show.' I'm like, 'Yes, let's do this! F*** 'Star Wars!' Let's do this as a TV show.
