So far, so good for Duncan Jones’ “Rogue Trooper,” which had its world premiere at the Annecy Festival. Only three reviews have been published so far, but they’re all positive, coming from The Wrap, Screen, and Deadline.

Jones says “Rogue Trooper,” based on the cult 2000 AD comic and not exactly the safest choice for a comeback, was made using real-time animation in Unreal Engine 5.

A first trailer was released a few months ago, showcasing a stark, war-torn alien world and its blue-skinned, helmeted protagonist. The visuals looked slick. The voice cast includes Aneurin Barnard as Rogue, alongside Hayley Atwell, Reece Shearsmith, Jack Lowden, Jemaine Clement, Alice Lowe, Asa Butterfield, and Sean Bean.
