● Duncan Jones is klaar met filmen voor zn nieuwste.
Rogue Trooper tells the story of 19, a ‘Genetic Infantryman’, who finds himself the sole-survivor of an invasion force. Desperate to track down the traitor who sold him and his comrades out, the super soldier is accompanied by three killed-in-action squad mates, whose personalities have been stored in his gun, helmet and rucksack.
Shot at Rebellion Film Studios in Oxfordshire, breakout talent Aneurin Barnard (The Goldfinch, Dunkirk) stars as the eponymous Rogue Trooper, alongside Hayley Atwell (Captain America), Jack Lowden (Slow Horses), Daryl McCormack (Good Luck To You Leo Grande), and Reece Shearsmith (Saltburn). Rounding out the cast is an incredible ensemble, which includes Jemaine Clement, Matt Berry (What We Do in the Shadows), Diane Morgan (Cunk on Earth), Alice Lowe (Black Mirror), Asa Butterfield (Sex Education) and Sean Bean.
Klaar met filmen maar het wordt wel degelijk een animatie film. “The advancements in Unreal Engine 5 and the inclusion of MetaHuman rigs mean that it is now possible to achieve a very high standard of animation within an indie budget. Working with our amazing partners at Rebellion, Epic and Treehouse Digital we are pioneering and developing a new creative pipeline that will enable independent production of CG animated films.”
Na dat te lezen voel je misschien de neiging dit project direct af te schrijven als cheap FX drivel genre low quality volume stuff dat we tegenwoordig vaker voorgeschoteld krijgen maar dunno. Gezien het gaat om een gestyleerde animatie film en de adembenemde scenes die je met correct gebruik van UE5 kan realiseren...
Toffe stijl!
The cast also includes Hayley Atwell (
Captain America, Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning), Jack Lowden (
Slow Horses), Daryl McCormack (
Bad Sisters, Good Luck to You Leo Grande), Reece Shearsmith (
Inside No. 9, Saltburn), Diane Morgan (
Cunk on Earth), Alice Lowe (
Black Mirror), Asa Butterfield (
Sex Education, Hugo) and Sean Bean (
Game of Thrones, The Lord of the Rings). Diane Morgan eey... Zou het nog wel zien zitten moest ze opdraven als Philomena.
“2000 AD offers a very different flavor of comic action: Political and brutal at times, but always with a Pythonesque twinkle in the eye. Dredd (2012) was a taste of what 2000 AD has to offer and now we get to show the world another side of the beast. It is a genuine privilege to be given the opportunity to make Rogue Trooper,” Jones said.
