Part of Series
The second of two official companion books for the Zack Snyder-directed Netflix films Rebel Moon taking an exclusive in-depth look at the heroes and villains, monsters and animals. From Zack Snyder, the filmmaker behind 300, Man of Steel, and Army of the Dead, comes REBEL MOON, an epic science-fantasy event decades in the making. When a peaceful settlement on a moon in the furthest reaches of the universe finds itself threatened by the armies of the tyrannical Regent Balisarius, Kora (Sofia Boutella), a mysterious stranger living among the villagers, becomes their best hope for survival. Tasked with finding trained fighters who will unite with her in making an impossible stand against the Mother World, Kora assembles a small band of warriors—outsiders, insurgents, peasants and orphans of war from different worlds who share a common need for redemption and revenge. As the shadow of an entire Realm bears down on the unlikeliest of moons, a new army of heroes is formed. Rebel Ex Heroes & Monsters goes behind the scenes of these much-anticipated films to explore the characters, creatures and themes. Bursting with exclusive on-set photography, concept art, costume designs, storyboards by Zack Snyder, and more, accompanied by cast and crew interviews, the book takes an in-depth look at the making of the films.
Author
A former naval officer, Peter was already a published author in the rather disparate realms of Scandinavian archaeology and pen-and-paper role-playing games when he was tapped to pen the books Watchmen: The Art of the Film, Watchmen: The Official Film Companion, and 300: Rise of an Empire: The Art of the Film. His most recent movie book is Chappie: The Art of the Movie, based on the film by District 9 director Neill Blomkamp. His extensive background in Viking culture and history served him well when writing The Unofficial Magnus Chase and the Gods of Asgard Companion, due out from Ulysses Press in September, 2015. He also scripted the narration for the PSP game 300: March to Glory, and was responsible for the stories and screenplays for the games Watchmen: The End is Nigh and The Guardians of Ga’Hoole. His horror/thriller feature film (co-written with and directed by Clay Staub, produced by Scott Mednick), Devil’s Gate, is in post-production.
