The first installment, originally titledRebel Moon – Part One: A Child of Fire, is now calledRebel Moon – Chapter One: Chalice of Blood. The second installment, initially namedRebel Moon – Part Two: The Scargiver, has been retitled toRebel Moon – Chapter Two: Curse of Forgiveness. Unlike the original PG-13 versions, the director’s cuts promise to be more intense and grittier, with the new titles hinting at the darker content to expect in the R-rated editions.
Netflix has also revealed that it will release bothRebel Moondirector’s cuts on August 2. Previously, there was a four-month gap between the release of the initial PG-13Rebel Moonmovies.

Snyder has assured audiences that the director’s cuts are entirely different movies, and the new titles are meant to reflect that.
