Zack Snyder’s sci-fi epic “Rebel Moon Part Two: The Scargiver” has a trailer. “Rebel Moon Part 1: A Child of Fire” premiered on Netflix last December, and we’re getting this sequel in April. The first part bombed hard with critics — the most recent tally has it at 21% on Rotten Tomatoes and 31 on Metacritic. I recently, finally, watched Part 1 and it was a torturous experience. I doubt the promised R-rated director’s cut will turn that mess into a good film.
The ‘Smile’ franchise has a new director. David Bruckner, who made “The Night House” and the 2022 “Hellraiser” reboot, has been hired to direct “Smile 3” for Paramount.
