During a recent sit-down with Netflix's studio chiefs, Kira Goldberg and Ori Marmur, Marmur stated, "Zack came in with so much passion. This is a film that he's had in mind for decades. As you know, he's spent so much time working on other people's IP at other studios. We worked with him on Army of the Dead. And we did things that others couldn't do. We made a film and then a prequel and launched a live experience. With Rebel Moon, he wanted to push the envelope again. When we saw how big the world he created was, we thought it would be better served as two pieces versus one film. It's the kind of story that can continue to grow. He thinks of it as his take on making something like Star Wars."
