Unearthing the Complex Culture of Veldt: A Look Behind the Scenes of Rebel Moon through Peter Aperlo’s Official Art and Making-of Book

The moon of Veldt may seem like a simple place, but its residents are part of a thriving community with a complex and nuanced culture. While the “Rebel Moon” films don’t have enough time to fully explore this way of life, author Peter Aperlo’s official art and making-of book fills in the gaps and enhances what we see on screen. From breaking down the language and script used on Veldt to detailing the process of adding lived-in details to background props, this book covers it all, including exclusive information on production design and fun little details that went into each set.

For those who aren’t experts in linguistics and prefer visual factoids, the book still has plenty to offer. One interesting revelation involves a noodle bar on Veldt, with concept art created before the set was constructed, hidden posters in the background, and translations for those who may struggle with learning new languages on apps like Duolingo. “Rebel Moon: Wolf: Ex Nihilo: Cosmology & Technology” is available to order now, offering even more insights into the world of Veldt and the making of the films.
