The director is set to be coming out with a new sci-fi film in 2023. Titled Rebel Moon, it features a star-studded cast of popular actors. According to an official description from The Hollywood Reporter, the story shows how “a peaceful colony on the edge of the galaxy is threatened by the armies of a tyrannical regent named Balisarius.
