Zack Snyder Teases Rebel Moon Part 1 Director’s Cut Will Be “More Brutal, More Bizarre… A Lot of Sex”

 

In what will certainly get viewers talking and curious once more as an unrated version of his latest film looms on the horizon, director Zack Snyder has teased his director’s cut of “Rebel Moon Part One” as being “More Brutal, More Bizarre… A Lot of Sex” - making the  PG-13 one currently streaming on Netflix look pale in comparison to his upcoming extended feature of the new Sci-Fi movie.

In an interview with SFFGazette, the 300 and Man Of Steel director didn’t hold back in describing his director’s cut:

"Way more brutal. More bizarre. Verhoeven-esque. More RoboCop than you know... in the way that it uses violence as another character. And there's a lot of sex in it, and sci-fi fantasy."

Take that as you will. Rebel Moon is currently streaming on Netflix, with Part Two set for release on April 2024.

Blue Beetle: Inka Magnaye is the Voice of the Scarab in Philippine Release of the Film

 

Get ready to shout “KHAJI-DA!” with some Philippine pride in mind when you go to see “Blue Beetle” in theaters, as Warner Bros. Philippines has announced that Filipina voice talent and content creator Inka Magnaye is voicing the Scarab in the Philippine release of the superhero movie!

Here’s the press release from WB themselves:

MANILA, August 2 – Warner Bros. Philippines has announced today that Filipina voice talent and content creator Inka Magnaye will voice the Scarab – an ancient alien relic pivotal to the titular DC Super Hero’s story – for the Philippine release of Warner Bros. Pictures’ upcoming action-adventure “Blue Beetle.” 

 In the film, the Scarab, called Khaji-Da, guides Jaime Reyes (played by “Cobra Kai” breakout star Xolo Maridueña) and helps him discover – and learn to control – his seemingly limitless new powers on his journey to becoming the Super Hero Blue Beetle. In the original version, the Scarab is voiced by singer/actress Becky G.

Filipino talent Inka Magnaye – considered to be royalty in the niche voicework industry in the Philippines – brings her own distinct charm to the voice of the Scarab. Some of the character’s lines are even in Tagalog! Something Pinoy fans should look out for. 

Magnaye, whose rich body of work includes voicework for Philippine Airlines (hers is that very soothing voice in the Philippine flag carrier’s in-flight instructional safety announcement), Pond’s, Smart, Globe, Nissin, Mitsubishi, and popular podcast “Sleeping Pill With Inka,” is the first Philippine-based Filipino talent to do voice-over work in a DC film. She will be properly credited too; watch for Magnaye’s name in the credits!
