A rebel in another facet. Rebel Moon, the new feature of Zack Snyder, enlarges its cast and signs Alfonso Herrera in a role that is still kept secret. This new proposal by the American filmmaker is part of the partnership with Netflix that began with The Army of the Dead, whose sequel is in development. In addition, it is part of the new beginning for him and producer Deborah Snyder, his wife, after last collaborating with Warner Bros. on the unveiling of their original version of Justice League, commonly described by fans as “Snyder Cut”.
“Zack Snyder has made great films that are now a cultural benchmark and created universes that have revolutionized the film industry. Getting to this saga, which is one of the most ambitious film projects on the Netflix platform, is a big challenge for me as an actor r,” Herrera said in a statement, after the giant “N” made his addition to the cast official.
The Mexican artist rose to fame in Latin America with the renowned soap opera Rebelde (aired between 2004 and 2006), where he played Miguel Arango Cervera. Later, she also acted in other productions for Aztec television such as Terminals, Women Murderers, Final Time, The Team, The Eagle's Enchantment, El Capo 3 and Chameleons.
In 2015, Alfonso Herrera began his journey in Hollywood with his role as Hernando de la Fuente in Sense8, the Netflix series written and directed by the Wachowski sisters. Since then, she has appeared in international TV hits such as La reina del sur and Ozark. In the cinema, he had credits in titles such as Amar te duele, Volver a verte a verte, Venezia, The Perfect Dictatorship, The Chosen One and The Dance of the 41.
Snyder's next adventure in the cinema
Zack Snyder's new project belongs to the science fiction genre and is heavily influenced by Akira Kurosawa's The Seven Samurai. In February of this year, the director announced that his cast would consist of Ray Fisher, Sofia Boutella, Bae Doona, Charlie Hunnam, Djimon Hounsou, Jena Malone, Staz Nair, Rupert Friend, Cary Elwes, Michiel Huisman and Corey Stoll.
Originally, the idea hovered around the Star Wars universe... However, over time, it took its own course to become an original world written by Snyder in collaboration with Shay Hatten and Kurt Johnstad. The plot focuses on a mysterious young woman who embarks on a mission to locate and recruit mercenary soldiers across the galaxy with the aim of joining the confrontation against the military force of the tyrant Regent Balisarius.
The head of Man of Steel and Justice League embarks on a journey through sci-fi and unknown universes to tell a space opera. There are still no more details about the film other than the publication of the premise and the artistic concept that will guide the visual aspect on the screen. Shooting hasn't started yet, but production could start sometime this year.
Zack Snyder is also currently working on the second installment of The Army of the Dead, a story that has already become a successful film franchise for Netflix following the release of the spin-off called The Army of Thieves (the filmmaker featured as a producer). And soon with Rebel Moon, he intends to strengthen his relationship with the streaming service much more. None of his future productions yet has an official release date.
