In the making of Rebel Moon, writer/director Zack Snyder didn’t simply aim to make a movie; he set out to launch an entire universe. With multimedia aspirations, the filmmaker and his creative colleagues set about building a detailed mythology and history, and they dug deep into the backstories of the principal characters. This, naturally, provided healthy resources to the actors in the blockbuster, but of all the members of the cast, it was Sofia Boutella who apparently took the deepest dive into the sci-fi/fantasy world.
As captured in the video above, I had the opportunity to interview Zack Snyder and the full cast of Rebel Moon – Part 1: A Child Of Fire last month, and in all of the rooms I asked the same question: who turned out to be the biggest Rebel Moon geek in the ensemble? To be fair, Ray Fisher – who plays revolutionary Darrian Bloodaxe in the movie – was given kudos throughout the day, but most were quick to reference the fact that Sofia Boutella essentially wallpapered her trailer with reference imagery that she used in the development of the film’s protagonist, Kora.
