Rebel Moon – Part One: A Child Of Fire is set to debut on Netflix next month. The film’s director Zack Snyder explains the meaning of the film’s subtitle along with Part Two: The Scargiver.
Rebel Moon is one of the most hotly anticipated films coming out this holiday season. Despite this, it’s likely many fans didn’t even realize Zack Snyder’s return to Netflix sports the subtitle of Part One: A Child Of Fire. Snyder explains the meaning of both A Child Of Fire and Part Two: The Scargiver ahead of the film’s release, teasing a long history behind the names:
“We had the titles for a long time,” Snyder recently told Empire. “A Child Of Fire has a double meaning. The Child Of Fire could be Princess Issa, this myth that runs through the stories. The robots that we refer to as Jimmy, the Anthony Hopkins character, were created to protect the unborn Issa and lost all their purpose when she was assassinated. Kora [Sofia Boutella’s character] is also a child of fire: she was a war orphan. Her home was burned down and she was snatched up and brought into the army.”
“[Kora’s] nickname is the Scargiver, which is also related to her relationship with Princess Issa. Those two myths are braided together in a pretty cool way, I think.” He continued. “The second movie is really a war movie. At the beginning they harvest the crops, and we have a bunch of stuff in the village, sort of the ‘Why We Fight’ aspect of the movie. We have time for relationships. Then the next thing is the big battle. It’s really fun.”
Rebel Moon- Part One: A Child Of Fire is certainly shaping up to be Netflix’s next big hit thanks to Zack Snyder. Just like the Star Wars films he’s clearly been inspired by, both A Child Of Fire and Part Two: The Scargiver seem draped in war imagery and commentary. Though only time will tell if he’ll be able to recreate the success of a galaxy far, far away.
