The village of Veldt, depicted in the “Rebel Moon” films, may appear simple at first glance, but it is actually part of a complex and diverse community with its own unique culture. Author Peter Aperlo’s official art and making-of book fills in the gaps left by the films and provides a deeper understanding of life on Veldt. From analyzing the language and script used on the moon to detailing the process of adding lived-in details to background props, this book offers a comprehensive look at every aspect of production design.
While linguists may find Aperlo’s book fascinating for its detailed analysis of language and script on Veldt, those who prefer visual factoids will also appreciate its offerings. One particularly interesting revelation involves a noodle bar located on the moon, with concept art created before construction began, hidden posters in the background, and translations for those who may struggle with learning new languages through apps like Duolingo.
“Rebel Moon: Wolf: Ex Nihilo: Cosmology & Technology” is now available for purchase and offers even more insights into the world of Veldt and behind-the-scenes information about filmmaking. Whether you are an expert in linguistics or just interested in visual details, this book has something for everyone looking to learn more about this fascinating moon colony.
