About this episode
Zack Snyder first pitched the idea Seven Samurai in Space when he was in college. In 2012, he pitched it to Kathleen Kennedy as his way of “fixing” Star Wars. In 2023, Rebel Moon: Part One - A Child of Fire was released on Netflix. This is the story of how one idea becomes ten hours worth of movie. CONTENT WARNING: This episode discusses suicide at 16:10.
