The second season of "The Mandalorian" became the big winner of the Emmy Nominations, and since the work was a spin-off of "Star Wars", Disney bought the creative rights to the "Star Wars" series, and disney channels are not only the world of Marvel superhero series and animated movies, the online tv platform has also launched a series of science fiction movies. In the theater era, because the competition model of MCU and DC is more obvious, Warner and Disney have established a more obvious competition model in the era when the theater has not yet closed. With theaters closed, the rival platforms of the two big Hollywood studios shifted to streaming platforms, and HBO became a competitor to the Disney Channel. So when the second season of "The Mandalorian" received attention, Warner would also launch a sci-fi genre film and television drama. The Hollywood Reporter editor, Amy Rekins, learned of the news that HBO had made the sci-fi movie "Moonshot."
"Moon Landing" is also called "Moon Snapshot", Zack Bluff is the director and producer of the film, Lana Condor and Cole Spross lead the cast, and Chris Winterbauer will assist the director. Although the director and cast of "Moon Landing" are not too luxurious, these filmmakers and actors belong to hollywood's power faction, and "Moon Snapshot" is still a new line of science fiction works shot by HBO Max, and Warner has invested a lot in the film. In the impression of fans, HBO has also launched film and television dramas with a science fiction nature before, and "Game of Thrones" is a typical work. It's just that when people discuss the genre of movies, they often divide this work into fantasy dramas, ignoring that "Game of Thrones" has a lot of science fiction elements, which shows that HBO has some experience in shooting science fiction series.
From the information revealed by Amy Rekins, Moon Landing is also a relatively expensive work, in addition to the science fiction genre film can not escape the post-effect, Warner also worked the shooting scene: The Hollywood Reporter has filmed the scene of Mason Gooding and Emily Rockwin on the flight deck, in order to restore the panorama of the moon landing plan in the 1960s. HBO filmed the sci-fi film "Moon Landing", also in honor of the famous "Apollo Project", and Warner expects to officially shoot the series in September 2021. The author (smugly watching the movie) would also add that when Armstrong landed on the moon successfully, many remarks pointed to the moon landing plan completed in the studio, in fact, the astronaut did not go to the moon. Many Hollywood production companies have come up with documentaries on the moon at that time, trying to prove that the studio can't shoot that effect.
Beranty is Zach Bluff's assistant, and the two became actors in Heartbreak Club twenty years ago, when Zach Bluff was still starring. Later, Beranty joined Fox, he also became a behind-the-scenes producer, and the creative lineup of "Moon Landing" is more abundant. Judging from the Warner staff, the director team brought by Zach Bluff hardly needs to let Warner give much remuneration, which is why HBO used them. Zach Bluff will also play a supporting role in "Snapshot of the Moon" – a visionary and ambitious entrepreneur who seems to miss his feelings as an actor as well.
Amy Rekins demystifies this, and although Zach Bluff has no experience directing sci-fi films, nor has he written cosmic films or other works with sci-fi elements, he also has a status - he is the producer of "Moonshot", the director has a very good relationship in Hollywood, and he has worked with several sponsors because the comedies he previously directed have sold very well in peripheral products. Since Zach Bluff is a creator with his own resources, HBO also needs the director team to bring enough resources to the platform in the era of fierce competition on the online platform. So Zach Bluff's role as director and producer of "Moon Landing" is also a sign that Warner has begun to compromise with Hollywood resources, and of course, Zach Bluff's director and producer of the film has also reached a period of transition in the filmmaker's career, and he needs to direct different types of works.
